In 2022, the largest Batik Pekalongan product to be exported is batik sarung, a large tube of fabric for praying that is famously used in Southeast Asia. Batik sarung contributes 51% of total batik exports from Pekalongan, whereas the handmade batik or written batik fabric only contributes less than 1% of total exported batik products.
In the upcoming period, Batik Pekalongan must meet this demand by offering green batik products that hold higher value while also promoting environmental conservation within the region. The esteemed “City of Batik” can foster further development and opportunities for the batik industry in Pekalongan.
