China'S Textile Market Calls For High-End Equipment.

Since the beginning of this year, the rapid growth of China's textile industry has left many enterprises unprepared. In particular, the cotton textile industry orders rebounded, and the sales of cotton spinning equipment which was once the most affected by the financial crisis quickly led to many orders for cotton spinning equipment manufacturers.

Orders recovery is not entirely from the market.

After the market downturn in 2008 and 2009, the economic performance of the industry has shown signs of being good. It was a good thing. However, when the impact of the financial crisis on the real economy is still uncertain, China's textile industry took the lead in a big recovery. Many people in the industry can not help worrying. Even some pessimists think that this hot sales situation is hard to maintain until the end of the year, and the whole industry may show a trend of high opening and low going.

Gao Yong, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association, thinks that since the beginning of this year, the sales of cotton yarn and cotton cloth are hot, and there are factors of market demand, but not all of them come from market demand.

First, from the export market, the European American market has not recovered so quickly, so obviously it is to replenish inventory. Second, it is predicted that cotton production will be cut down this year, and India will prohibit cotton exports, so many enterprises will rush to buy cotton, and then boost cotton yarn production. Third, cotton raw material prices have risen rapidly this year, making some investors who originally invest in real estate and coal mines turn to invest in cotton and cotton yarns. Fourth, textile enterprises based on anticipation of appreciation of the renminbi and anticipation of the price growth of raw materials.

Driven by the above four kinds of demand factors, the textile machinery equipment has appeared a hot sales situation this year.

Equipment companies worry about whether capital can be withdrawn.

So how long can this hot sales situation last?

According to the analysis of the industry, only when the demand for replenishment stocks and the stock of speculation are removed, is the increment of market demand.

That is to say, if the textile industry replenish its stock to a certain level, the anticipation of raw material inflation has been released, and the renminbi has begun to appreciate. That time will reflect a normal and real market demand.

Most people believe that the cotton textile industry's current rapid growth momentum is unlikely to continue in the second half of the year.

Reporters interviewed found that many cotton spinning equipment manufacturers responsible for the sudden arrival of so many orders, performance is not entirely joyful, but there are many worries.

For example, some enterprises worry that a large number of orders will lead to a decline in the quality of products; some enterprises are worried about whether the orders that have been taken can be picked up as scheduled.

A person in charge of the company said in an interview with reporters that a large number of orders not only failed to make the main engine factory, but also caused great pressure to the parts and components suppliers.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, most suppliers do not have much inventory, and the main parts such as castings are stolen.

Because of rush to deliver goods, quality is unavoidable.

Whether the funds can be returned in time is a risk that textile machinery enterprises must face.

At present, the advance payment for textile machinery equipment is very small. Once the situation changes in the second half of the year, the textile enterprises will have a big question mark if the order is reduced and the funds are difficult.

Comply with industrial policy, equipment and sell without worry.

As a matter of fact, cotton spinning equipment manufacturers worry about the order, but in addition to the four factors mentioned above, they also have a close relationship with the total supply of cotton textile industry.

Therefore, in recent years, once the cotton textile market has a slight trouble, it will immediately touch the nerve of cotton spinning equipment manufacturers.

In the first half of 2008 and the first half of 2009, the impact of the financial crisis on the industry was most serious. The sales volume of China's cotton spinning equipment was almost 50% lower than before. Even this year, even ordinary spinning machines were selling very well.

This is indeed a worrying sign.

Compared to cotton spinning equipment, which depends entirely on the market's face and environmental changes, those textile machinery equipment that meets the national industrial development policy to meet the needs of textile industry's small batch, multi variety, deep processing, high-grade demand, and has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and labor reduction, not only last year, but also sold very well last year.

For example, air jet looms, computer flat knitting machines and printing and dyeing equipment that can save energy and reduce emissions are still in good demand this year, and production enterprises are full of confidence for the market in the second half and even in the next three or four years.

On the one hand, these equipment conforms to the needs of technological pformation, structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of enterprises, and meets the needs of national industrial policies; on the other hand, there is still much room for market.

For example, computerized flat knitting machine, the current domestic hand-held flat knitting machine has about 1 million 600 thousand units, computer flat knitting machine has only about 100 thousand units, and computerized flat knitting machine instead of manual flat knitting machine is the inevitable trend of industry development and industrial upgrading.

Therefore, the demand for computerized flat knitting machines in the domestic market has just begun. The growth trend of computerized flat knitting machine will not be shaken for 5 years.

For example, printing and dyeing equipment, the state's requirements for mandatory targets for energy saving and emission reduction are getting stricter and stricter. Since June, the 1 printing and dyeing industry access conditions (revised version of 2010) have undoubtedly raised the entry threshold of printing and dyeing enterprises, forcing some textile printing and dyeing enterprises to eliminate old and non energy saving models and replace new and energy-saving models.

Therefore, the industry generally believes that printing and dyeing equipment will remain stable growth for a long time in the future.

The Chinese market calls for high-end equipment.

Therefore, judging from all sides, the hot selling situation of cotton spinning equipment, especially the middle and low grade cotton spinning equipment, is only temporary and will not last for too long.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, Ou Ruikang, Lida, Bi Jiale, and other European textile machinery enterprises and Japanese Toyota Corporation and other businesses in 2009 have declined, and there are varying degrees of losses.

However, the situation of these large spinning machinery enterprises in China is quite different from that in the global market.

The steel company, drawing frame and carding machine of the company were sold very well in the Chinese market in 2009.

In 2009, BJC sold 1400 rapier looms in the Chinese market. The Japanese TOYOTA only sold thousands of air-jet looms to Lanxi, Zhejiang. The orders of Oricon's domestic silk equipment in China have been in the second half of this year. The sales of Li Xin Machinery in China in 2009 basically reverted to the level before the financial crisis.

This shows that no matter how the financial environment and market situation change, it will not fundamentally change the domestic users' demand for high-end equipment.

In the first 4 months of 2010, China imported 1 billion 149 million US dollars for textile machinery, an increase of 80.22% over the same period.

In fact, since 2005, the demand for equipment in China's textile enterprises has shown significant changes.

This change is mainly manifested in the hot selling of domestic high-end equipment and the re heating of imported equipment.

In 2008 and 2009, although the import declined due to the environment, the demand for equipment did not change much.

After this financial crisis, the trend of structural adjustment of China's textile industry is more clear. Those models that are highly automated, can save labor and improve the quality of textile products will receive more and more attention from users.

Therefore, China's textile machinery market, especially the high-end equipment market, still has great development potential and demand potential. This is the real reason why ITMA ASIA cooperated with China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and settled in China.

In the face of such a huge market, who can turn a blind eye to it and who can give up a chance to get a slice of it?
