The garment market in Kenya
Kenya is East Africa's main import gateway, with Mombasa clearing cargo for Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and eastern DR Congo, and Nairobi's wholesale districts supplying shops across the region.
Buyers here are importers in Nairobi and Mombasa supply wholesalers in Gikomba and Eastleigh and retail chains; school-uniform suppliers and workwear contractors buy ready-made lines.
What buyers in Kenya look for
Buyers want durable cotton T-shirts, jeans, school uniforms, kidswear, and hoodies; workwear sells to mining and construction firms.
Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons.

Who buys kidswear, uniforms & workwear in Kenya

That steadiness makes them attractive to importers, and it rewards a supplier who can match shade, size and trim exactly from one order to the next.
Importers in Nairobi and Mombasa supply wholesalers in Gikomba and Eastleigh and retail chains; school-uniform suppliers and workwear contractors buy ready-made lines.
