For global online shoppers searching for fashion products, “made in India” far outpaces other countries with more than 269 million searches last year compared to 140 million for China and 88 million for Italy, according to the latest data from online marketing firm SEMrush. The U.S. garnered just 18.8 million searches for “made in the U.S.”
