Global Chemical Fiber Industry: Difficult Development Under The Financial Crisis

The sixteenth China International Chemical fiber conference was held in Wujiang, Jiangsu.

More than 450 heads of industry, experts, scholars and business representatives from more than 30 countries and regions, including China, the United States, Germany, Japan, Korea and the United Kingdom, gathered in Wujiang to conspire against the world.

The central theme of this session is "

In his opening speech, Xu Kunyuan pointed out that the global financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has brought huge trauma to the global economy and made the global textile industry in a difficult position.

Now the global economy is slowly recovering, but it is still in an uncertain period, which is often referred to as the "Post Crisis Era".

How to develop the global textile industry in the post crisis era and how to develop the global chemical fiber industry is an important topic worthy of discussion by the industry.

Xu Kunyuan analysis said that in 2009, China's economic development showed a "V" shape and took the lead in the global financial crisis. In the first half of this year, China's GDP growth rate reached 11.1%, maintaining a good momentum of development.

In 2009, in response to a series of policies to deal with the financial crisis, China's textile and clothing exports decreased by 9.6%. But under the pull of the domestic market demand, the total output value of the national textile industry still increased by 7.9% compared with the same period last year, and the output of major products and the economic efficiency of the industry had rebounded rapidly.

Since the beginning of this year, China's textile market has continued to flourish, and the ratio of domestic sales of textile products has reached 82%, while export has also seen a relatively rapid growth.

This year is the last year for China's textile industry to fully implement and complete the "11th Five-Year plan". It is also an important year for the study and formulation of the "12th Five-Year" plan for the textile industry.

In the next 5~10 years, China's textile industry is still the traditional pillar industry and important livelihood industry of our national economy. It is also an industry with obvious international competitive advantages.

Chemical fiber is the main raw material of the textile industry.

In 2009, the global fiber consumption amounted to 70 million 520 thousand tons (excluding about 5000000 tons of hemp fiber and so on), chemical fiber was 44 million 130 thousand tons, and global chemical fiber accounted for 62.5% of the total textile fiber. China's textile raw materials, chemical fiber has exceeded 70%.

The development level of the global fiber industry will directly affect the extensive application of industrial textiles and the increase of clothing consumption level.

Xu Kunyuan pointed out: in order to eliminate the negative impact of the global financial crisis, the input of global industries to innovation will increase significantly. In the future, the new technological revolution centered on new energy, new materials, information and biotechnology will lead the human society into a new era of green, intelligent and sustainable development.

At the same time, the trend of economic globalization is irreversible. International division of labor and cooperation will be further strengthened, and the convergence and common development of industry and market will be further accelerated.

Under such a big background, our chemical fiber enterprises should further change their management concepts and business models, enhance their capability of independent innovation, vigorously develop new high-tech fibers, functional differential fibers and green environmental friendly fibers, vigorously develop and popularize new technologies, new technologies and new equipment for energy conservation and emission reduction, further eliminate backward production capacity, and vigorously strengthen cooperation and development with downstream application fields, so as to form competitive advantages of industrial chain matching and enhance market competitiveness.
