Market Bottom: High Cotton Price VS New Fiber 2

Thinking: transformation is imperative.

All kinds of factors have led to tight supply of cotton and high prices, most of which is the larger gap of cotton. In the short term, this pattern is still hard to change. According to authoritative organizations, the supply and demand gap of cotton in China will be as high as 3 million 500 thousand tons before the new cotton comes into market in late August. Xu Wenying often accounts on many occasions: the growth of spinning speed in China during the period of "fifteen" and "11th Five-Year" is about 17% every year. If we continue to grow at this speed, our spinning capacity will reach 55 million tons by 2015, which means that the whole world's cotton will have to be supplied to China, maybe not enough. "This is obviously impossible", and the transformation of development mode is pressing ahead of us.

Du Yuzhou, President of the China Textile Industry Association, believes that consumption has become rational in the post crisis era. Obviously, we will not continue to expand the way of scale expansion, but rather seek scientific development and take the road of industrial upgrading. In fact, the proportion of cotton used in cotton spinning has dropped to about 50% from the end of the last century to 50%. Over the years, the high growth has been mainly supported by chemical fibers and other fibers. If we are going to be wider and wider before the crisis, we must go higher and higher in the post crisis era. The commanding point is to take the road of industrial upgrading, improve quality and enhance efficiency rather than scale.

China's textile industry is formulating plans for a powerful country in the next ten years. The goal of textile power is to build a strong textile and technological power, a strong textile brand, a strong textile talent and a strong power for sustainable development, so as to achieve a substantial increase in labor productivity. Through the implementation of green economy, low carbon economy and circular economy in the textile industry, we should take a new way to give full play to high technology content, good resource efficiency, low resource consumption, environmental resources and human resources.

How to make good use of the strategic resource of cotton and how to get rid of it? cotton Overdependence? Duyu pointed out that cotton resources strategy is very important for the textile industry. Giving full play to the advantages of cotton and other natural fiber resources is always the task of China's textile industry. fibre The proportion of natural fibers will be less and less, but its value will be higher and higher. This requires the industry to transform backward processes through high and new technology, enhance the creativity of products and create higher added value.

Xu Wenying also stressed repeatedly that to increase the added value of tons of fiber products, support the development and application of all kinds of regenerated cellulose fibers, high technology and a large number of functional and differential fibers, vigorously readjust the industrial structure, encourage the development of multi fiber blended yarn and fabric products, increase the proportion of non cotton fibers, and especially focus on the development of industrial textiles.

Practice: courage to innovate New fiber Emerge in an endless stream

　　 Facing the growing tension of cotton, China's textile enterprises are not waiting to be killed, but rely on the strength of science and technology to respond positively. Wuhan Textile University and Shandong Ruyi group jointly developed the "embedded new spinning technology", which brought the technological revolution to the entire spinning industry and shocked the international market. This technology saves cotton cost by 20%~30% compared with traditional technology, and fabrics can be used for women's clothing, underwear, shirts and bedding. This new technology has become a new hope for the development of China's textile industry.

The "super fine powder of high quality natural polymer materials", which won the two prize of the national technological invention in 2008, has been used in small diameter vascular prostheses, and its effect is better than that of European technology.

Hemp is recognized as the "king of natural fibers". It has the characteristics of moisture absorption, breathability, comfort, heat dissipation, mildew resistance, bacteriostasis and radiation resistance. It is regarded as the most promising green fiber in twenty-first Century. YOUNGOR group, which invested nearly 300 million yuan in 4 years, conquered the scientific and technological problems in the process of hemp fiber industrialization, and successfully transformed hemp fiber into textile and clothing products. Li Ru, chairman of YOUNGOR group, said that because of the rapid development of the textile industry, cotton and other textile resources are more scarce. Hemp as a new material applied to the textile and garment industry can alleviate the shortage of natural fibers in China.

Is there a raw material that can partially replace cotton? Over the years, researchers and entrepreneurs in China have been looking for such alternatives. After a long period of unremitting research and development, China has made preliminary achievements in the application of kapok fiber in the textile industry, and made people see the bright prospect of using kapok fiber instead of cotton fiber. It may become the fifth largest textile material after cotton, wool, silk, hemp and other natural fibers. Kapok fiber is a kind of wild fruit fiber. In all known fibers, the kapok fiber has prominent characteristics, high hollow rate, and has the characteristics of no mildew, moth proofing, acid and alkali resistance, anti static electricity, and mite removal under normal temperature. It is these outstanding structural features and special properties that make kapok a new material in the field of textile application.

Shanghai Pantai cotton science and technology application Co., Ltd. is the world's first professional company specializing in the research and development of kapok products. In cooperation with Donghua University and other scientific research institutions, it has broken through the bottleneck of the existing spinning technology and created the world's unique new kapok spinning technology. Xiong Dingguo, Secretary General of China foundation for desertification control, has a special interest in developing kapok. He proposed to develop an industry by harnessing a desert, and then drive a local economy, thereby benefiting future generations. He is actively working for the kapok project to be supported by the state.

Textile enterprises are also constantly reducing the use of cotton fibers by adopting advanced technologies and strengthening management. The Lanyan group in Zibo, Shandong, has reduced the cotton quality of the same quality by more than 10% by introducing the most advanced EFS optimized cotton distribution system in the world. Jiangsu Lian FA textile Limited by Share Ltd has taken the reduction of cotton consumption and the development of high added value blended fiber fabrics as the primary task of future development. The products developed by the company include natural wrinkle resistant fabric, cotton silk interwoven fabric and so on, which are favored by overseas markets.

The utilization of some protein fibers is also attracting attention, such as soybean protein, casein protein and wool protein spinning and weaving. The processing and spinning of collagen extracted from leather processing also made breakthroughs.

In the face of the advent of the high cotton price era, China's textile industry has no need to worry. As Du Yuzhou said, "we should not only make good use of cotton, but also make good use of chemical fiber and other fibers. There is no need to worry that the fibers of the heavens are not enough. In fact, the development and progress of human beings come from contradictions. The development of polymer technology promotes the development of chemical fibers, and will also promote the new revolution of natural fibers.
