　 Innovative growth creates great benefits

Wu Jia, who has just been a mother, wants to buy diapers for his precious son, but he doesn't know which brand is good. So she searched the Internet and found that the top ten brands of paper diapers were basically the brands of American and Japanese companies. Finally, she chose the newly upgraded P & G company's Pampers diapers. The diaper coat, the spacer cloth, the core layer cloth and the bottom cloth use nonwovens, thus facilitating the extensive application of spunbonded, meltblown and spunlaced nonwovens. According to a statistics, sales of diapers in China in 2010 amounted to 6 billion 100 million yuan, an increase of 61.5% over the previous year. The diaper market is heating up rapidly, which brings business opportunities to the nonwovens industry.

Soft, comfortable, hygienic and healthy fourth generation of hygienic materials put forward higher requirements for nonwovens. New nonwovens products developed with natural fibers are sought after by the market. Shenzhen Health Medical Group Limited has developed cotton, nonwovens medical dressings, sanitary napkins, diapers and other products in recent years. It is natural, comfortable, soft and degradable, and has become a new growth pole for the company's efficiency. Nonwovens sanitary materials made of natural silk made by Huzhou Silk Road Group achieved unexpected results. Corn fiber (PLA) nonwoven products are favored by manufacturers because of their green environmental protection and recyclable degradation.

It is understood that in the next 10 years, industrial textiles will grow at a rate of over 10%. By the end of 12th Five-Year, the total amount of industrial textiles will reach 12 million 900 thousand tons, accounting for 25% of the total fiber processing, and the annual growth rate will still reach two digits. People pointed out that at present, the application of industrial textiles is becoming more and more extensive, and has gradually become a substitute for metal, plastic, paper and asbestos. With the development trend of light weight, high performance, diversification and beauty of industrial materials, the use of industrial textiles is expanding and market demand is rising.

It can be predicted that textile fibers will account for a large proportion of textile fiber materials in twenty-first Century. Li Lingshen, President of China Industrial Textiles Association, said that with the gradual improvement, industrialization and scale of new raw materials such as high performance fiber and differential fiber, industrial textiles continued to grow in an innovative way. It constantly replaced traditional materials and realized the rich functions of terminal products and huge benefits of business operation. All these laid the foundation for the future development of the industry. {page_break}

　　 Five big Nuggets territory bright and spacious

During the "12th Five-Year" period, industrial textiles will use new materials and processing technologies in agriculture, medical, health, automobile and construction industries to upgrade and transform industries.

Agriculture is the basic industry of the country. With the increasing population and limited land, high-tech industrial textiles can effectively increase grain production. For example, non-woven fabric instead of plastic film can be used to solve the problem of air permeability and humidity of plastic film. During the "12th Five-Year" period, we will promote the application of slow release agricultural materials, light and durable water-saving irrigation, water collection and storage materials, and insect pest prevention packaging materials. These technologies can help agriculture increase production, reduce the loss of agricultural products due to bad weather, and solve the problems of collection and utilization of water resources in arid areas.

Data show that by 2015, the growth rate of health care industry output will reach 9%~11%. The clinical application technology of disposable nonsurgical materials such as disposable surgical gowns, hole towels, masks and paving sheets has played an important role in reducing medical accidents caused by falling and cross infection in medical systems. In the next few years, after the breakthrough of standards and key technologies, high-grade medical and health materials are expected to be promoted rapidly in China. In addition, with regard to artificial organs and biomimetic materials, with the acceleration of the aging process in China, there will be more and more artificial organs and biomimetic materials such as artificial kidney, cardiovascular and so on. In this field, it is urgent to break through the technical bottleneck and realize industrialization. According to statistics, the annual sales volume of the global health textiles market has reached tens of billions of dollars, and it is accelerating year by year.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, China will change the situation of relying solely on imports, and share the "big cake" of 4 billion dollars with developed countries. Industrial high-grade precision instrument wiping cloth and civil kitchen decontamination cloth, floor cleaning cloth, anti microbial wipe cloth, because of convenient use and low price, is widely believed to have huge market potential. From the seat belt to the filter, from the seat cover to the trunk, as well as lining, sound insulation materials, carpets, automotive nonwoven fabrics play an important role. It is understood that the textile used by a car is about 25 kilograms, and the annual nonwoven fabric used in the automotive industry reaches 70 million square meters. The annual demand for automobile carpet is only 12 million square meters, while the domestic product can only provide about 10% products, with a large gap. At present, nonwovens used for automobiles account for about 20% of the total production of Nonwovens in China. During the "12th Five-Year" period, the processing technology of automotive textile materials, including seat interior decoration, airbags, adhesives, thermal insulation materials, sound absorbing materials and so on, and the technology of domestic development of fiber materials can be gradually promoted, and the proportion of domestic and textile products in the automotive industry can be effectively improved. The new high-performance fiber material is expected to enter the automotive industry after entering the aircraft and high-speed rail. Such as lightweight carbon fiber vehicles, with the acceleration of industrialization and cost price reduction, is expected to become the mainstream of the new generation of automobiles.

Building textiles will be developed in terms of insulation, noise insulation, functional flame-retardant and wall crack prevention. These functional textile fiber building materials can greatly improve the energy efficiency of the building's main body, reduce energy consumption, and conform to the world's green and low carbon trend. According to the test, the building with new fiber materials can save more than 60% of energy, improve the fire and flame-retardant level of large space structure buildings by more than 90%, and improve the strength of building walls by more than 30%. With the development of national infrastructure, the demand for Geo materials is more and more vigorous. It is estimated that there will be 300 thousand tons of demand annually.

Industrial textiles play a major role in promoting the development of China's textile industry and related industries, and play a pioneering role in the transformation and upgrading of industries. Facts will prove that its future is limitless, and there are many opportunities for "12th Five-Year" to bring to the industrial textiles industry.
