American Investors Are Optimistic About China's Textile Industry's Manufacturing Advantages.

Recently, some media claim that they are affected by China. The labor With the impact of rising costs, the clothing and footwear enterprises in the United States will replan the overall investment environment in the Asia Pacific region. Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Vietnam will be the main beneficiaries of this "change".

However, a recent study released by KPMG (KPMG) International Accounting Office shows that the planning of us product procurement will eventually achieve a balance between production speed, product quality and price. From the current perspective, the manufacturing advantages of China's textile industry are still more prominent than Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.

As early as the beginning of the year, a large number of experts and scholars in the textile industry began the United States. textile industry "Escaping" China's theory of labor cost has become a hot topic in the industry. But Nick Dignan, chairman of the Asia Pacific region of KPMG accounting firm (NickDebnam), said that labor cost is not the only criterion to measure the competitiveness of textile industry in various countries.

Di Nan stressed that wherever we invest, it is impossible to avoid the challenge of wage rise completely. Even in India, the annual wage of its textile factories will increase by 10%, and the minimum wage level in Bangladesh in 2010 has doubled. "Wage level is only a relative parameter to measure the competitiveness of labor-intensive industries, and the quality of labor and infrastructure construction in a country will determine the ultimate development potential of the industry."

According to the study, the population of 18~30 is relatively stable in China, and China is also stepping up its training of professionals in the textile industry, thus improving the quality of the workforce. With the rapid development of China's economy and rising wages, it has become an unavoidable fact. However, the quality and productivity of China's labor force are far superior to those of other Asian Pacific countries such as India and Indonesia.

In the past two years, textile and clothing in Indonesia and Bangladesh and Footwear products Exports rose sharply, for example, in 2010, Indonesia's footwear exports increased by 42%. Benefiting from the preferential tax rate of the European Union, Bangladesh's textile exports increased by 43% in January ~7 to 18 billion 300 million US dollars this year. But the two countries, together with Vietnam, Kampuchea, India, Pakistan and other Asian and Pacific garment manufacturing countries, are far from competing with China.

The study points out that through further improving productivity and improving infrastructure, China has 9 of the world's top 50 container ports, and its "purchasing attraction" remains unshakable. The construction of China's expressway and railway network also means new opportunities for development in China's internal market. Therefore, US investors are still optimistic about their investment prospects in China.
