Keywords gradient pfer

Industrial resources begin to differentiate into small and medium-sized enterprises.

In 2007, the resources of garment industry in China rapidly shifted to large enterprises, and the proportion of garment enterprises above designated size increased greatly.

The eastern region still occupies a huge share of production, but production has begun to shrink, the central region's capacity growth has increased steadily, and the gradient pfer has been steadily advancing.

According to the statistics of the National Bureau of statistics, in 2007 1-12, garment enterprises in China above Designated Size reached 20 billion 159 million garments, including 9 billion 456 million woven garments and 10 billion 703 million knitted garments, which increased 14.36%, 13.13% and 15.47% respectively compared with the same period in 2006.

The annual output increase basically showed a decreasing trend from month to month.

In November 2007, the number of Enterprises above Designated Size in the National Bureau of statistics increased from 12706 in the same period last year to 14326, an increase of 12.75% over the same period last year. The clothing output of Enterprises above Designated Size maintained a relatively fast growth rate, benefiting from the growth of the enterprise team. The average annual output of individual enterprises above Designated Size in 2007 1-12 was about 1 million 400 thousand, which was basically the same as that of the same period last year.

The output of Enterprises above Designated Size accounts for 39% of the total garment output of the whole industry, which has increased by nearly 6 percentage points over the same period last year.

Garment industry resources are rapidly flowing to large enterprises, while the large scale enterprises are expanding while the scale of production is not expanding, but on the contrary, they are shrinking. The direction of enterprise development has shifted from the cost oriented pursuit of scale efficiency to the high value-added line.

Influenced by factors such as policy, cost and market, small and medium-sized enterprises, especially small and medium-sized processing enterprises, are facing a crisis of survival.

In 2007, the total output of garment industry was 51 billion 200 million, which was unchanged from 2006, including 17 billion 800 million pieces of woven garments, 1.11% lower than the same period last year, and 33 billion 400 million knitted garments, an increase of 0.60% over the same period last year.

The eastern region slows down and the central region rises rapidly.

In the 1-12 months of 2007, the top 5 garment production provinces in Fujian province were outstanding, and the output of clothing increased by 33.64%.

Guangdong is still the top producer of clothing, accounting for 24.67% of the country's total clothing output.

The growth of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong is relatively stable.

The output of the top 5 provinces accounted for over 80% of the total, slightly lower than the same period last year.

The most stable provinces in inland provinces are Jiangxi, Anhui and Liaoning provinces, and other provinces and cities have shown a greater concussion in the past one and a half years.

The industry in the central region has developed rapidly, and the output has increased by 30.07% compared with the same period last year, accounting for 1 percentage points of the total clothing output.

Keywords two benefits

Benefit growth slowed down

Judging from the economic performance of the apparel industry, the industry efficiency in 2007 was basically the same as that in the same period in 2006, and the growth rate slowed down. The industry's ability to control the cost was strengthened, the industry operation capacity continued to strengthen, and the industry development capability declined compared with the same period in 2006, and the development speed of the industry slowed down.

The polarization of the industry is intensifying. According to the statistics of the National Statistics Bureau and the statistics of the China clothing association, the sales profit rate of only 27% of the enterprises in the garment industry is higher than the industry average, and the profit of 10% of the enterprises is 80% of the total profits of the industry, and the profit of 20% of the enterprises accounts for 94% of the total profits of the industry.

According to the statistics of Enterprises above Designated Size by the National Bureau of statistics, the number of Enterprises above designated size increased by 12.75% in the 1-11 months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006, while the number of employees increased by only 5.22%, and the average number of enterprises decreased by 4.11% over the same period in 2006.

According to the sample survey of some garment industry clusters by China Apparel Association, the impact of human cost, raw material cost, energy cost and policy cost increased in 2007. Small and medium-sized enterprises are facing the threat of survival. Especially, the number of small businesses in the number of 100 people is low. The number of small and medium-sized enterprises that are closed solely by foreign trade processing accounts for 15% of the total number of SMEs in the whole region.

It is estimated that at least 5-8% of small businesses are forced to close down.

At the same time, industrial resources are accelerating to large enterprises, and the overall industrial scale is basically the same as last year.

The average profit rate of garment industry in 2007 has been declining. The downward trend of year-end decline has been suppressed. The profitability of the industry is basically the same as that of the same period in 2006. The growth rate of the garment industry is lower than the average level of the textile industry. The average profit margin of the industry is lower than that of the end of 2006. The adjustment of product structure is the main means for the industry to maintain its profit growth.

Keywords three investment

Foreign investment is cooling down obviously.

According to the National Bureau of statistics, in 2007 1-11, the apparel industry accounted for 28.09% of the total investment in the textile industry, an increase of 2 percentage points over the same period in 2006, and the total investment actually completed increased by 40.61% over the same period in 2006, an increase of 3 percentage points over the same period last year.

Private enterprises are the biggest investors in the clothing industry, and private investment accounts for 48.83% of the total investment, which is 3 percentage points higher than that in the same period in 2006.

The most active provinces are Henan, Hunan, Anhui, Sichuan, Jiangxi and several other inland provinces, such as Jiangsu and Fujian.

From the perspective of investment, Shandong has the largest investment scale, Jiangsu second and Zhejiang third.

Investment in the central region has increased rapidly, and investment has shifted from the eastern region to the central region.

In 2007, China's clothing industry fixed assets investment and domestic loan situation were better than other industries, although the proportion of domestic loans was relatively low, and the investment amount was more than that of 2006.
