Chinese Textile Clothing Has Great Room For Improvement In The US.
The United States is one of the largest export markets for textiles and clothing in China. According to Chinese customs statistics, in 2008 1~11, China's exports to the United States still showed a slight increase in textile and apparel exports, and textile and clothing exports amounted to US $23 billion 500 million, an increase of 2.14% over the same period last year, of which the textile exports amounted to US $6 billion 270 million, an increase of 12.12% over the same period last year, and clothing exports amounted to 17 billion 200 million US dollars, down 1.07% from the same period last year.
According to statistics released by the Department of textiles and clothing (OTEXA) of the US Department of Commerce, in 2008 1~9, the United States imported 38 billion 340 million square meters of textiles and clothing from the world, down 4.8% from the same period last year, the amount of 70 billion 790 million dollars, down 3% from the same period last year. The import of 15 billion 650 million square meters from China decreased by 2.7% compared with the same period last year, and the amount was 24 billion 370 million dollars, down 0.2% from the same period last year. My share of total imports in the United States increased from 40% in the same period last year to 40.8% this year, and the share in total imports increased from 33.5% in the same period last year to 34.4% this year.
From the data released by China and the United States, we can see that despite the financial crisis, the demand for textile and clothing products in the US market is decreasing, but the United States is still the largest consumer market of textile and clothing. At the same time, it can be seen that the textile and clothing market in the United States is very strong in China. The import and export of textile and apparel products from the United States is at the top of the list, both in terms of import volume and import volume, and the market share is also showing an increasing trend.
Xu Yingxin, vice president of the textile industry branch of China Council for the promotion of trade, said that China's textile and apparel products still occupy the bulk market of American textile and clothing. The main reason is that China's textile and garment industry has made great progress through many years of development, industrial technology level, product quality and quality through continuous upgrading and adjustment of production, and has a complete and perfect industrial chain.
In November 2008, China's export apparel accounted for 54% of the American clothing import market, accounting for the first time more than 50%, and the export unit price generally increased. This shows that although China's textile and garment industry has led to rising prices due to rising costs, the US consumer's dependence on Chinese products is still high.
According to the data in 2008, China's textile and clothing exports to the United States increased. Only because of the habit of high growth in the past, the decline in demand caused by the financial crisis and the slowdown in export growth, the psychological gap of some export enterprises is too great.
In 2009, China's economy will still maintain a 8% growth rate. In the eyes of the outside world, China is still in the period of rapid economic development. The market structure of China's textile and apparel products to the US will not change due to the financial crisis. The US market is still the most important market in China now and in the future.
Because the US GDP is US $14 trillion, the largest economy in the world, and its economic level and population size decide that even if the economy is in recession, the basic consumption of daily life like textile and clothing still needs to be. Moreover, the pattern of highly dependent import and export of textile and apparel products in the United States will not change.
Xu Yingxin also said that although Chinese enterprises are now facing lower prices in the US, such as India and Vietnam, the market share of India, Vietnam and other countries in the US is gradually expanding, but China has unparalleled industrial advantages than these countries.
Many cases show that the price of India products is cheaper than that of China, but the quality of products and the reliability of trade can not be compared with that of China. Vietnam's products are also cheaper than China, but Vietnam's infrastructure and industrial matching can not be compared with China. The share of the two countries in the US market has increased rapidly in recent years, but there is still a big gap with China.
In addition, in December 31, 2008, the quota of textiles exported to the United States was officially abolished, and China's textile and clothing exports to the United States had welcomed the long-standing quota free era. The 34 categories of cotton knitted shirts, cotton trousers, socks and so on, which were previously limited to quotas, are products that the American consumers must consume. During the period of quota restriction, they are also the commodities that China exports to the United States. The number of Chinese customs customs granted to the Chinese side is small, such as cotton knitted shirts, cotton trousers and other sensitive categories. The customs clearance rate of Chinese customs has remained close to 100%.
Quota commodities are popular products exported to the United States by China. They are also exported to the United States. They are exported to the United States and their quality is mature. There is room for improvement in prices, and they are familiar with the time of delivery and relatively easy to deal with. The cancellation of these quotas has made our export enterprises stable, predictable and sustainable.
Xu Yingxin stressed that Chinese enterprises should make efforts to improve their internal strength and adjust the positioning of the export market through the financial crisis. In the past, the low profit mode of quantity and gross goods should be changed to small batch, multi variety, differentiated and highly efficient business mode. Xu Yingxin said that in the grim situation of 2008, enterprises with independent innovation products and small batch and differentiated products are still increasing in export performance. This is the direction for Chinese enterprises to change the mode of trade growth in the future.
In the future, the market is becoming more and more subdivided, and the era of extensive trade is long past. China should occupy a higher level of market share in the segmented market. Many low-grade products have not been done since the upgrading of China's textile and garment industry. In the process of changing from a big textile country to a strong textile country, the orientation of the export market should also be changed.
For the US market, Chinese enterprises will have to rely on independent innovation products and differentiated products to occupy the proper market share in the future. Over the past several American exhibitions, it has been proved that the enterprises exhibiting large road goods are not effective. Enterprises with innovative products and differentiated products can always get trade opportunities at the exhibition. Editor: vivi
