由于美国的制裁、经济动荡和全球竞争,伊朗手工地毯出口自2018年以来从2B美元跌至40M美元。 Iran's handmade carpet exports plummeted from $2B to $40M since 2018 due to U.S. sanctions, economic turmoil, and global competition.

伊朗的手工地毯工业,一个几百年来的文化宝藏和主要的非石油出口,已经急剧下降,年出口从1990年代的20多亿美元下降到2025年的4 000万美元左右。 Iran’s handmade carpet industry, a centuries-old cultural treasure and major non-oil export, has declined sharply, with annual exports dropping from over $2 billion in the 1990s to around $40 million by 2025. 美国在2018年再次实施制裁,切断了美国市场进入美国市场的机会,而美国曾经是美国工业的最大买主。 The collapse stems largely from U.S. sanctions reimposed in 2018, which cut off access to the American market, once the industry’s largest buyer. 经济不稳定、生产成本上升、旅游业下降,以及来自印度、中国和其他国家的廉价机械地毯的竞争,进一步削弱了该部门。 Economic instability, rising production costs, declining tourism, and competition from cheaper machine-made rugs from India, China, and other countries have further weakened the sector. 国内需求也有所下降,由于通货膨胀和货币贬值,许多家庭买不起传统地毯。 Domestic demand has also fallen, with many families unable to afford traditional carpets due to inflation and currency devaluation. 200多万人,包括许多农村妇女,靠编织收入为生。 Over two million people, including many rural women, depend on weaving for income. 尽管官员和专家主张现代化的设计、改进品牌和更好的出口政策,但持续的地缘政治紧张局势和有限的政府支持都威胁到该工艺品的生存。 While officials and experts advocate for modernized designs, improved branding, and better export policies, ongoing geopolitical tensions and limited government support threaten the craft’s survival.
