It Has Been Asserted That The Textile Industry Has Become A Sunset Industry.

According to China news network, Gao Yong, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association, said that China's textile production accounts for half of the world's total output and exports to 1/4 of the world's total volume at the ceremony of the "China Textile Machinery City" issued by the China Textile Industry Association to Jinzhong, Shanxi (Yuci).

However, due to the impact of the world and domestic economic environment, the textile industry is showing signs of slowing down. Gao Yong also believes that the "sharp decline" will appear in the second half of this year, and when to reach the bottom of the valley remains to be seen.

In fact, before Gao Yong's speech, when the textile industry reached the bottom of the valley or even got out of the predicament, it has been controversial in some organizations or media.

Some media commented that the status quo of China's textile industry showed that it had gradually formed sunset industries.

The reason is that under the influence of a series of factors, such as RMB appreciation, raw material price increase, labor cost rising and monetary policy tightening, most textile enterprises have been in the "zero profit" state, and even some enterprises have been able to survive by selling factories or machines.

This year, the difficulties of China's textile industry are indeed unprecedented. It is a superposition of various difficulties. This is why it is difficult for many enterprises to digest and adjust in a short period of time, resulting in the closure of thousands of export enterprises in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta in a short period of half a year. At the same time, a large number of textile enterprises have been greatly affected by production and operation, or even serious losses and bankruptcies, triggering a "big shock" for the livelihood industry that accommodates about 20 million people.

Nevertheless, some analysts pointed out that China's textile industry is not a sunset industry, but only the presence of sunset enterprises.

A rational view of the textile industry is related to the "big business and flourish everywhere" in the past few years, and has been influenced by the macroeconomic environment at home and abroad.

The plight of the textile industry is a microcosm of the plight of the entire Chinese manufacturing sector.

There are adjustments in the export tax rebate policy and the implementation of the new labor contract law, with the depreciation of the US dollar and the rising cost of raw materials, as well as the participation of Vietnam and other countries in the competition between low price and low labor costs.

A large number of enterprises were defeated by the market, losing money, stopping production and closing down.

Bad news one after another.

However, the difficulties faced by the textile industry, especially in the past few days, have been said by the media a lot.

It is not wrong to say difficulties, but what is the purpose of our difficulties?

The purpose is to find a way to solve the problem, which may be a good argument.

At present, the textile industry is a traditional industrial system supported by low cost as a whole. Therefore, we seize the best opportunity of the current industrial integration, which is led by large enterprises and integrated with the industrial chain, forming a large scale and high level industrial platform.

Some companies broke through internal and external difficulties, not only did their profits not decline, but the competitiveness of enterprises increased significantly.

Those companies that do not pay attention to technology research and development and strive to compete in price and labor cost are finally swallowed up by the cruel market. The secret of other companies' reviving is to strengthen technological research and development, increase the proportion of products with high added value, and actively participate in the competition in the upstream industry chain.

It should be noted that rising costs and policy adjustments are the common problems facing the entire textile industry. Not only should textile enterprises be adjusted, governments at all levels should also adjust their own industrial policies.

According to authoritative sources of China Textile Industry Association, the national export tax rebate adjustment plan may be introduced recently, of which the textile will be pferred from 11% to 13%.

According to the statistics of the first textile network, the total export volume of textiles and clothing in 2008 is expected to reach 184 billion 700 million. If the export rebate rate is adjusted by 2 percentage points, the profit of textile enterprises will increase by 17 billion 690 million yuan.

Judging from the layout of international textile industry, the textile industry is an ancient industry. Although the upgrading of China's textile industry is a gradual and difficult process, whether from the current development of the domestic textile industry or the development space for the textile industry, many enterprises will enhance their competitiveness in terms of quality, brand and value in the next two years.

There are 1 billion 300 million people in China. Eating and dressing is an essential part of people's life.

It is unthinkable if Chinese people need to dress and use their homes to supply foreign countries.

In this sense, the argument that China's textile industry has become a sunset industry is untenable, and even foreigners do not believe it.
