Reporters learned from the 2010 Hangzhou Silk Fair that the export of silk clothing industry has been affected this year due to factors such as rising prices of raw materials and upgrading of the RMB exchange rate. Some enterprises have begun to shift from export to domestic sales. Shen Jian, vice mayor of Hangzhou industry, technology and spanportation, said: "as the largest city in China, Shanghai has better economic development and consumption power than Hangzhou. It is hoped that Shanghai will become a display, exchange and trading platform for Hangzhou silk clothing, so as to promote Hangzhou silk clothing and expand sales."

Shen Jian told reporters that the textile and garment industry is currently the most urgent and representative industry in the spanformation and upgrading of the country. At present, Hangzhou's textile and clothing, especially silk clothing technology, has no difference from the international level, but it still needs to further enhance brand value, expand market influence and sales scale.

Despite the increase in export sales this year, profits fell quite a lot from last year. In the case of a weak international market, the Hangzhou municipal government encourages enterprises to shift from relying mainly on simple processing exports to a longer domestic market with a longer industrial chain. To this end, the Hangzhou municipal government sponsors enterprises to foster excellent designers and encourage enterprises to open stores or counters in the whole country and even in the world.

Shen Jian said that silk clothing enterprises used to rely entirely on simple processing export. Low added value of products was not conducive to the development of enterprises. He encouraged enterprises to develop to the deep industry chain of R & D, design, production and sale.

Daly, chairman of Hangzhou's largest silk dress enterprise, Fei Jianming, told reporters that many domestic enterprises have begun to spanform and upgrade to see who will turn quickly and turn well so that they can survive in the market. He predicted that with the further upgrading of the international consumer market, there will be a reshuffle in the industry in the next two or three years, and small enterprises with low production capacity may be eliminated. Therefore, silk enterprises should change from processing and OEM to the whole industry chain of independent R & D, design, processing and sales as soon as possible.
