"Big Road" Exports Still Win By Quantity.

Price rise drives export growth

In 2010, China's textile and clothing exports were fully realized, with export volume of 77 billion 70 million US dollars and US $129 billion 470 million respectively, increasing by 28.5% and 20.9% respectively, with an increase of over 20%.

Various kinds of textiles

As the price of raw and auxiliary materials and labor costs rose sharply, the export prices of textile and clothing rose overall in 2010, yarn increased by 16.1%, fabrics increased by 11.5%, and knitted and woven garments increased by 5.7%.

From the analysis of export index, the "protagonist", which pulled the overall export growth in 2010, also changed from quantity growth to export price rise.

Textiles and garments

General trade is growing fast.

General trade has been the main export of textiles and clothing for many years.

In 2010, the total export volume of general trade reached 152 billion 940 million US dollars, an increase of 27%, the fastest growth in the main trade mode, and the overall export growth by 19.5 percentage points, which played a "stabilizer" role in the overall export.

General trade imports of US $5 billion 980 million, the fastest growth in various trade patterns, an increase of 47.9%, pushing the overall import growth by 11.5 percentage points.

The position of processing trade in import and export has gradually declined.

During the "11th Five-Year" period, the proportion of processing trade changed significantly, from 30.7% in 2006 to 22.6% in 2010, of which exports fell from 24% to less than 20% and imports fell from 83% to 65%.

In 2010, the trend of processing trade was relatively stable. The fluctuation of import and export in each month fluctuated slowly.

The total annual export volume was 37 billion 990 million US dollars, an increase of 9.6%, and imports of US $13 billion 200 million, an increase of 10%.

In 2009, the small frontier trade suffered a sharp decline, while exports dropped 50% year-on-year.

In 2010, the small frontier trade gradually resumed, but has not yet returned to pre crisis levels.

Annual exports of US $6 billion 950 million, an increase of 12.3% and an increase of 17% in imports.

From the monthly point of view, the export of small border trade showed a "ladder" growth, which began to exert force at the end of three months, increasing even more than general trade, and the monthly export volume also reached its peak at the end of the year.

It is expected that the small border trade in 2011 will have a good performance.

Import prices rose overall {page_break}

In 2010, China's textile imports amounted to 17 billion 720 million US dollars, an increase of 18.3%, of which the largest increase was yarn, an increase of 31.8%, followed by finished products, an increase of 21%, while fabric imports grew the slowest, with an increase of only 9.5%.

In the past two years, yarn import has maintained a momentum of rapid growth. In 2009, with the overall import decline, the yarn continued to grow by 8.6%, and the increase in 2010 increased to more than 30%.

The situation of fabrics is different. From 2008, it began to go downhill. Despite the growth in 2010, the volume of imports decreased by 6.5%, even lower than that in 2006.

The difference between yarn and fabric imports shows that our country has improved its fabric self-supporting ability. But in the upstream of the industry chain, there are still technical deficiencies and deficiencies in fiber manufacturing, which need to be compensated through imports.

In recent years, China's clothing imports have also maintained an overall upward trend. Imports increased by 46.6% in the past five years in 2006~2010.

Among them, fur leather clothing grew the fastest, and increased nearly three times in five years.

In 2010, the import of wool and leather garments increased by 65%, exceeding that of other clothing products.

The import prices of all kinds of commodities rose in all directions.

Yarn and fabric increased by 21.3% and 8.2% respectively. Cotton and chemical fiber products rose fastest in yarn, while silk and wool products rose fastest in fabrics.

The import price of knitted and woven garments increased by 22%, while that of wool and leather garments increased by only 3.4%.

Textile raw materials (calculated separately, not included in textiles and clothing) totaled 4 million 754 thousand tons, 10 billion 340 million US dollars, and import volume and value increased by 44% and 82.3% respectively.

Among them, imports of silk increased fastest, imports increased by 1.1 times, import value increased by nearly two times, and cotton imports rebounded again after three consecutive years of decline. In that year, the total import volume was 2 million 839 thousand tons, an increase of 85.9%, and the import volume grew 1.7 times. The import volume of chemical fiber and wool tops increased by 11% and 2.1% respectively, and the import value increased by 27.6% and 32.6% respectively.

In terms of the unit price of imports, the average price of cotton imports was 1993.4 US dollars / ton, up 43%, and silk only rose 39% after that, and the import price of chemical fiber increased relatively slowly, rising by only 14.6%.

Western and Western exports rebounding rapidly

In 2010, more than 90% of the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) exported textiles and clothing all grew, and 2/3 provinces and cities increased by more than 20%.

Among them, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Shandong accounted for 75.6% of the five major provinces and municipalities, and the total export grew by 23%.

From the three major geographical regions of the country, the export elasticity of the eastern region is relatively small.

When the crisis came, the eastern region's exports declined relatively gently. After the crisis, the rebound rate was smaller than that in the central and western regions.

In 2010, the export growth in the central and western regions exceeded the eastern region, while the central export increased by 34.4%, and the western region grew by 25.4%, which surpassed the 23% increase in the eastern region.

Among them, the export growth of Gansu, Yunnan and Tibet in the western region is the most rapid. Gansu's export growth is more than 3 times, Yunnan's growth is 1.4 times, and Tibet's growth is 1.2 times.

The export growth of Gansu and Yunnan is a substantial increase, up 100% and 305% respectively over the same period in 2008, while Tibet is a restorative growth, a 12% increase over the same period in 2008.
