New Textile Machine Global Shipments Grow Strongly

After the investment boom reached its peak in 2007, the shipment of new textile machinery dropped sharply due to the aggravation of the 2008/2009 global financial and economic crisis.

Compared with 2009, the global shipment volume of new textile machinery increased by 75%, short fiber spindles increased by 163%, open rotors increased by 212%, deformed spindles increased by 132%, weaving machines (shuttleless looms) increased by 146%, large knitting disc machines increased by 36%, and electronic flat knitting machines increased by 187%.

Almost all kinds of machines have hit a new high.

The compilation of the survey in 2010 received about 115 textile machinery manufacturers' cooperation, representing the overall situation of world production.

Spinning machinery

Short fiber spindles shipped down 33% in 2008, down 17% in 2009, and 75% in 2010, to 12 million 500 thousand spindles.

Close to the 12 million 800 thousand shipments in 2007.

Asia is the largest destination for new machines, 11 million 900 thousand spindles, or 96% of shipments.

China absorbs 790 spindles, or 63% of global shipments, followed by India, 2 million 400 thousand spindles, or 19% of total shipments. Indonesia digested 500000 spindles or 4%, Bangladesh absorbs 400000 spindles, or 3.2%, Turkey absorbs 300000 spindles, or 2.4%.

Long fiber in 2010

In 2010, investment in open rotors jumped 212% to 450 thousand, after a sharp fall of 66% to 195650 in 2008 and 26% in 2009, to 144500 only.

In 2010, Asia was once again the main destination of the open rotor due to 374000 or 83% increase in rotor capacity.

China's global share reached 72% (323000), followed by Brazil, 5.5% (24800), India 5.5% (24600), the United States 4.7% (21100), and Turkey 2.3% (10400).

Drafting deformation of single heater in 2010

Two heaters drafting deformed spindles (producing polyester filament) shipments surged from 248000 to 518000, an increase of 109%.

This figure is much larger than the 206000 old records in 2004 and 315000 in 2005.

China once again became the largest investor, digesting 365000 new spindles or accounting for 71% of global investment, followed by 54000 or 10% in India, 20600 or 4% in Vietnam, 13200 or 2.5% in Thailand, 12200 or 2.4% in Japan, 7000 or 7000 in Turkey, or in Brazil.

Weaving machine

In 2009, shuttleless looms shipped the lowest volume. After that, in 2000, including shipments of China's textile machinery manufacturers entered the survey for the first time, in 2010, the global shuttleless loom investment increased 146%, setting a 107000 new record.

Rapier loom / elastic loom decreased by 16000, or 32%, air-jet looms increased by 110% to 17700, and water jet looms increased by 537% to 73300.

The increase in shipments of shuttleless looms is due to increased investment and increased number of reporting companies.

97% machines shipped to Asia.

In 2010, China became the largest destination for shuttleless looms again, 89400, or 84% of total shipments.

Rapier / loom loom shipments 6800, 31% less than in 2009.

Air jet loom 12900 increased by 112% and water loom 69700 increased by 617%.

India ranked second, shuttleless loom 5400, or market share 5%, Indonesia 2400 or 2.2%, Bangladesh 2300 yuan or 2.1%, South Korea 1000 or 0.9%.

Disc machine and knitting machine

Compared with 2009, disc knitting machines increased by 36% to 34500.

This is the largest investment scale since 2000.

The record for 2005 was 30500.

92% of the circular knitting machines in Asia, China is the largest investor in knitting machinery, 26400 or 77% of the world's shipments.

In 2010, India invested second, 1370 or 4%, followed by Bangladesh 1330 or 3.8%, Turkey 1000 or 2.9%, Brazil 860 or 2.5%.

In 2010, global shipments increased by 187% to 51130.

There are two main reasons for the increase in shipments. First, the Chinese market is booming, and second more textile machinery companies join the investigation.

Mainly shipped to Asia (94%), Europe (including Turkey) digest 3.9%.

China once again became the largest investor in electronic weaving knitting machinery, 37800 (74%), Bangladesh followed closely, 4960 (9.7%), Hongkong 2760 (5.4%), Turkey 1350 (2.6%), Kampuchea 790 (1,5%).
