The textile industry plays an important role in the process of country’s economic development. From past till now, the main countries in the world textile production and trade which present diverse changes. In the past time, European countries intended to resist importing cheap textiles from developing countries. Therefore international trade in textile has been governed by import quotas under the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA) in 1974. The restrictions expired on 2005. The methodology of this study quoted from Dalum et al. (1998) to construct the empirical model. We focus on the shift of export competitiveness for textiles industry in the world and Asia after the MFA phased out. The results are distinguished three parts: (1) Export competitiveness for global textile industry significantly affected by the past time. Moreover, the competitiveness will improve significantly through the impact degree of the past performance after withdrawing the MFA (2005-2013). (2) The competitiveness of Asian textiles exportation impact positively through the past performance which over than the global average performance obviously. At the moment of MFA expiration, the competitiveness between China and Korea has the opposite of change. The former become batter and the latter become worse. (3) In the whole textile industry domain, the upstream industry for the competitiveness of natural fiber and rayon were changed dramatically after the MFA phased out in Taiwan. Then, according to the variation of export competitiveness in the midstream of textile industry, China is the most obvious one and significantly growth. In the downstream, the export competitiveness of clothing industry had a significant change in Korea which decline obviously. Final, we try to figure out the impact factor of the competitiveness of global textile industry. We found that the global average competitions are high-positive impacted by not only the last one of competitiveness, but also the positive impact of GDP and the negative impact through the capital-labor ratio.
