High End Products Market

All kinds of carding parts used in textile carding process are needles or teeth. They are collectively referred to as carding equipment, commonly known as card clothing.

The quality of the card clothing will directly affect the quality of yarn and mesh, and ultimately affect the quality of the fabric and even the textile. Therefore, the carding machine is usually compared to the "heart" of the textile mill, and the key component of the card is likened to the "heart" of the carding machine. Therefore, the card clothing is very important for the efficiency and quality of the textile production.

Review and analysis of the clothing market

Before the 80s of the last century, the domestic market of clothing was almost entirely foreign products.

From the Qingdao spinning machine factory and Shanghai metal needle cloth factory and other manufacturers, Swiss GRAF metal card clothing manufacturing equipment and Wuxi textile equipment factory introduced GRAF cover card clothing manufacturing equipment, our country began to have its own production of clothing.

The manufacturers and the manufacturers that subsequently joined the production of clothing were constantly studying and improving the manufacturing equipment and technology of the card clothing on the basis of the digestion of imported equipment, and the manufacturing level of domestic card clothing was improved rapidly.

Since twenty-first Century, the domestic clothing market has been growing steadily with the development of the textile industry. The domestic manufacturer of card clothing has developed rapidly on the basis of its own strength. The performance of high-end domestic clothing has gradually come closer to imported needle clothing, and the market share of domestic clothing has gradually increased.

If the needle clothing industry of China in the last eight and 90s of last century is "from scratch", then the ten years of the new century will be the ten year of steady improvement of the quality of needle cloth products and the healthy development of the scale of the industry.

1. domestic

According to statistics, domestic sales of needle clothing increased from 530 million yuan in 2000 to 1 billion 680 million yuan in 2009, with an average annual compound growth rate of 13.8%.

In 2010, the textile industry developed rapidly, and the sales of domestic clothing market reached 2 billion 50 million yuan, an increase of more than 21% compared with 2009.

2. domestic demand for card clothing is on the rise.

According to the grading of equipment and the variety of fibers, the domestic market is divided into three grades: high, medium and low.

High end card clothing products are made of special card clothing steel wire and advanced technology. It has the characteristics of good quality, good combing performance and long service life. High speed and high yield carding machine has a higher proportion of high-end clothing. The middle end clothing products refer to the card clothing products manufactured with special raw materials and leading equipment, but have not yet reached the international advanced level in product performance.

In China, the high-end products market is mainly supplied by the leading needle clothing manufacturers such as GRAF, TCC and Japan Jin Jing. Apart from the high-end products of some excellent domestic enterprises, which are beginning to be close to the international first-class level and can partially replace imports, other manufacturers still provide the middle and low end products.

In recent years, with the upgrading of technological innovation capability of textile enterprises, the upgrading of textile products has accelerated, and the demand for high-end card clothing products in the domestic market has been on the rise.

According to the statistics of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, the equipment of blowing carding machine increased from 37.3% in 2004 to 46.75% in 2009, and the combing machine increased from 35 thousand in 2004 to 35 thousand in 2009. The proportion of combed yarn increased from 23.8% in 2004 to 27.8% in 2009.

This shows that the rising demand for high-end needle clothing is an inevitable trend.

According to preliminary statistics, the demand for high-end clothing in the domestic market accounts for about 28% in 2005, and around 34% in 2009. The growth rate is obviously higher than that of other middle end and low-end products.

The proportion of 3. card clothing in new fields such as nonwovens and fuzzing is increasing.

With the development of the textile industry, the proportion of needle clothing in the non-woven fabric netting and fabric fleece raising has increased, but cotton spinning is still the most important application field of clothing.

In 2005, the proportion of clothing used for cotton spinning was about 73%, which dropped to about 70% by 2009.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the non-woven, wool and other fields will continue to develop rapidly. The growth rate will be higher than that of the cotton spinning and wool textile industry. The demand for card clothing in the next five years is expected to grow at cotton spinning 9%~ 10%, wool spinning 5%~ 6%, non-woven 18%~ 22%, and fuzz 16%~ 20%, and its field is 10%~ 15%.

The annual growth rate of overall demand for needle clothing during 12th Five-Year was 10%~ 14%.

4. the international competitiveness of domestic card clothing has been gradually enhanced.

According to industry experts, global sales of needle clothing in 2005 amounted to about 2 billion 350 million yuan, reaching 3 billion 160 million yuan in 2009, with an average annual compound growth rate of 7.7%.

The proportion of domestic sales of needle clothing market increased from 42.6% in 2005 to 53.2% in 2009. The rapid growth of the domestic market is an important driving force for global growth.

Outside China, the main areas for producing needle clothing are Europe, India and Japan.

Statistics show that the proportion of China's card clothing output in the world is lower than that of sales, indicating that imported clothing is mainly high-end products.

In 2010, the global share of domestic card clothing output increased from 37.4% in 2009 to 39.2%, indicating that the international competitiveness of domestic needle clothing has been improved.

Two, the clothing market outlook

At present, the global economy is in a slow recovery. It is estimated that the global textile industry will grow at a rate of 4%~ 6% in the next 5 years, and the growth rate of the global needle clothing market will slow down to 6%~ 7%.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the further development of our national economy and the gradual release of the development potential of the domestic demand market will provide a broad space for the development of the textile industry.

According to the China Textile Industry Report, the average annual growth rate of clothing retail sales in China will remain around 10% during the period of 12th Five-Year, and the growth rate of China's textile industry's domestic sales will be about 15%.

Therefore, in the next five years, with the upgrading of manufacturing industry as the main melody, the demand for needle clothing will increase greatly in terms of quantity and grade. It is estimated that the sales of needle clothing will increase steadily at the rate of 10%~ 14%, and the demand for high-end clothing will enter Bu Zengqiang.
