Reform And Opening Up Achievements In China'S Garment Industry

For China's clothing industry, it is also an unprecedented period of great development and great upgrading.

The speed of development, the quality of its development, and its contribution to the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics far exceeded the most optimistic estimate of people at that time (including those in the industry).

People in urban and rural areas generally began to realize "food and clothing", and then rapidly moved towards the diversification of clothing and clothing, Xinhua and even personalization. In the five basic necessities of "clothing, food, housing and use", they first came to "well-off".

It is now quite possible to say that the problem of clothing for the masses is the first goal and the most successful link in the construction of a moderately prosperous society in China.

All kinds of "made in China" and inexpensive clothing have entered the international market and entered some of the most famous chain business systems and large department stores in developed countries.

In the world's total export value of garment trade, "made in China" clothing has three points, one of the world.

In recent years, the product quality has also been greatly improved.

The period of "stall goods" which had been ridiculed by foreigners has long been a history.

The trade surplus created by garment export has reached half of the total foreign trade surplus of various commodities in recent years.

During the 30 years of reform and opening up, the development of garment manufacturing industry is synchronous with the "big upgrade".

In the first 30 years after the founding of new China, the "light industry (handicraft cooperative headquarters) system" and the business system all over the country have made great efforts in developing garment enterprises and developed to a sizeable scale.

But limited to capital strength, technological level and purchasing power of urban and rural people, until the middle and late 70s of last century, there were mainly small factories of collective ownership, which were equipped with dozens of units, more than 100 household sewing machines and several bedding boards, and some sewing workshops of "former shops and post factories".

In 1970 ~1978, the State Council implemented the Ministry of light industry (textile, light industry, light industry and light industry) as a major light industry ministry, and the top management institution of the national garment manufacturing industry is "the Ministry of Light Industry Ministry of handicraft industry administration".

The textile industry department's knitted apparel (underwear) factory and a small number of shirts factory, raincoat factory, the degree of mechanization is not high, generally in the semi mechanized stage.

In the 80s and 90s of last century, many garment enterprises rapidly developing and expanding in the socialist market economy environment began to attach importance to product upgrading, process upgrading and equipment renewal in the face of fierce competition in the domestic and international market.

Through the survival of the fittest, a large number of modern large-scale garment enterprises have sprung up, such as Zhejiang Shanshan, YOUNGOR, Luo Meng, Wan Shi Li, Fu run group, Jiangsu's red beans, Yalu, Bosideng group, Hubei's meerya group, Shandong's Lan Yan group, Guangdong's name Rui group, Inner Mongolia's Ordos, deer king group, Shanghai's three gun group and so on.

These large enterprises, no matter technical equipment, production technology, production management mode or product design, are close to reaching the world first-class level.

Taking these new modern garment enterprises as the main body of the industry, China's garment manufacturing industry has spent fifteen or six years (1980 ~1995), and has completed the pition from handicraft industry to modern industry (large industrial production mode).

In 2007 (November), there were only 14326 clothing enterprises above Designated Size counted by the National Bureau of statistics.

In 2007 (November), only 3 million 968 thousand employees of garment enterprises above designated size were counted by the National Bureau of statistics.

Among them, woven garments developed from 945 million to 9 billion 456 million (above scale enterprises), and knitted garments developed from 1 billion 217 million to 10 billion 703 million (above scale enterprises).

Among them, woven garments and accessories are US $47 billion 321 million, knitted garments and accessories $61 billion 331 million.

Since twenty-first Century, China's apparel exports accounted for the world's share of exports, from 18.2% in 2000 to 30.6% in 2006.
