There are significant differences in market shares among different industries, arising from comparative advantage as well as differences in protection. There are two sets of subsectors that have reached high import penetration rates in 2007/08. First set includes the traditional labor intensive subsectors such as wearing apparel (70.3 percent), leather (71.4 percent), and textiles (40.2 percent). The second are the more recent labor intensive sectors such as office machinery (53.9 percent) and radio, television etc (36.5 percent). These are mostly classified as high technology products but their nominal growth rates have also been very low. These are the sectors where developing countries have gained significant market shares.
