From traditional textile to urban textile and garment industry

As an important economic, cultural and tourist city in Northeast China, developing Dalian's textile and garment industry is the inevitable requirement of industrialization and urbanization.

Industry is the lifeblood of urban economy, and the city is the carrier of industrial layout.

In Dalian, the development of urban textile and garment industry has unique conditions, which is of great strategic significance for improving Dalian's urban industrial layout.

Dalian has abundant resources such as information flow, talent flow, modern logistics, capital flow and so on, which is conducive to developing textile and garment processing and manufacturing industry relying on technology research and development and product design.

The construction of the urban textile and garment industrial park as a carrier and relying on the good infrastructure and business environment of the city can not only attract the entry of large textile and garment groups and multinational companies, but also make use of the hatching function of hi-tech products and enterprises to realize the industrialization of textile high new technology, and provide continuous development power for high and new technology.

The successful development of the urban textile and garment industry in Beijing and Shanghai has fully demonstrated that the textile and garment industry can not only survive and develop in the central area, but also become a modern industry with employment, taxation, environmental protection and image in harmony with the urban functions and ecological environment.

From labor-intensive to capital and technology intensive development

The current textile and garment industry is no longer a simple, traditional labor-intensive industry, but a capital intensive and technology intensive industry that contains many new and high technologies.

The textile and garment industry in Dalian is becoming more and more difficult to compete with the eastern region with the advantages of the whole industrial chain because of the two ends, which are mainly labor-intensive industries.

Dalian's urban textile and garment industry must go out of the way of innovation and development in the future.

Labor-intensive industries and high technology are not mutually exclusive. The traditional labor-intensive industries can also adopt modern technology in key processes. Some technology intensive industries will also have manual operations which can not be replaced by machines in some production sectors. By raising labor productivity, developing innovative products and improving product quality, the value of products can be improved.

Through the development and manufacture of capital intensive high-performance fiber and technology intensive functional industrial textiles, our city can not only achieve breakthroughs in the value chain from source to terminal in the short term, seize the commanding heights of China's textile industry, but also promote the pformation of traditional textile industry to the characteristic industries and high value-added industries, and thus become the bridgehead to promote the revitalization and development of the textile and garment industry in Northeast China.

From simple production and processing type to R & D creative direction

With the rapid development of China's economy, the textile and garment industry in Dalian has been expanding and accumulating a certain competitive advantage. However, some structural problems of its own industry have not been fundamentally solved. For example, the industrial orientation is not clear and the industrial chain is not sound enough. Most enterprises are small in scale, the quantity of processing is large, their private brands are few, and the gold content is not high. The shortage of high-level talent resources and the cultural atmosphere of fashion creativity have not yet formed. These are the key factors that restrict the sustainable development of Dalian's textile and garment industry.

In the next 5 years, relying on scientific and technological innovation, changing the way of development and realizing the adjustment of industrial structure are the only way to realize the soaring of Dalian's textile and garment industry.

In the upper reaches of the industry chain, the development and manufacture of high-tech fibers that break through the source; the value of creativity and fashion culture reflected in the terminal of the industrial chain; the development of characteristic industries in the middle of the industrial chain, so as to realize the pformation from traditional processing mode to modern textile and garment industry, and realize the pition from simple modeling industry to high-end industries with high design content and fashion creativity, so as to enhance the overall labor productivity and increase the added value of the Dalian textile and garment industry chain.

The clothing industry in Dalian is a typical OEM industry dominated by export processing. It is the largest municipal export garment processing base in Northeast China.

Under the environment of RMB appreciation, rising interest rates, rising labor costs and economic pformation, Dalian garment industry, which is export-oriented and export oriented, has a smaller profit margin, which has affected the overall competitiveness and development.

This contrasts sharply with the fact that the garment industry in the eastern coastal area of China is relatively advanced in the whole country. The pformation and development of its garment industry from OEM to ODM and OBM (private brand manufacturers) has been very significant.

If Dalian garment industry wants to break through and want to develop, it must take the road of new industrialization and work hard to improve the added value of products, and take a road of OEM and ODM.

On the one hand, the pformation of OEM enterprises need not be in a hurry. It can start the development of ODM at the same time as OEM. OEM enterprises also have room for development in terms of core technology, supply chain management, scale advantage, product diversification and so on. At the same time, OEM Enterprises can expand to the upstream, seize scarce resources through the extension of the industrial chain, and also expand horizontally to achieve product association and diversification, which not only can greatly reduce the risk of production and marketing, but also enrich product lines, which can also lay a foundation for future enterprises to create their own brands.

On the other hand, OEM enterprises should continue to work hard in product design and new product development, relying on Dalian's good information, talents, creativity and logistics advantages, constantly accumulating creative and design experience, and gradually moving from OEM to ODM and OBM mode, from simple processing to urban R & D, creativity and brand development, constantly infiltrating into the high value-added field of clothing industry, and developing high-end brand products, so as to enhance the regional brand and regional core competitiveness of Dalian garment industry.
