Industrial Textiles: Embarrassment And Confusion Behind "Excitement"

Industrial textiles have become the new growth pole of China's textile industry from a big country to a powerful country.

From the perspective of global textile development trend, in the pfer of traditional textile to developing countries, developed countries will develop industrial textiles as an important way to optimize the structure of textile industry, maintain and enhance industrial competitiveness, and its development level has become an important symbol to measure the core competitiveness and technological level of the national textile industry.

Industrial use in China

With the development of industrial textiles in the world textile industry, more and more attention has been paid to industrial textiles in China.

Whether the government departments, enterprises or scientific research institutes have high hopes for the future blueprint of industrial textiles, the government departments have also led the development of the "12th Five-Year" development plan for the textile industry for the first time, and coordinated corresponding industrial development incentive policies.

It should be said that the industry textile industry has ushered in unprecedented opportunities.

However, compared with the developed countries, China's industrial textiles industry still has a big gap in terms of industrial concentration, product grades, innovation ability, special raw materials development and preparation technology.

To a large extent, the development and production of many high performance and high quality products depend on the technology pfer of developed countries. The independent innovation and development capability of the industry can not fully meet the needs of economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, and it is more difficult to cope with international competition.

It is the shortage and gap of the industry in the market control ability and the supporting capacity of the industrial chain, which restricts the development of the industry to a considerable extent.

First of all, it is hard to lose brand.

As intermediate materials for end products, industrial textiles must meet the structural characteristics, performance requirements and cost constraints of the final products. Business operations are often subject to market behavior of supporting products.

In particular, influenced by the practical problems such as trade barriers, technical barriers and market access barriers, many products themselves are hard to form independent brands, so it is difficult to open the domestic and foreign markets, and can only work for the terminal brand, so that most enterprises are still at the low end of the value chain, which is contrary to the high value-added characteristics of technical textiles.

In terms of medical and sanitary nonwovens, diapers include "Pampers", sanitary napkins, "Bao Shu Bao", wet paper towels, "Johnson" and "Bondi", which are popular brands, but those who provide high-quality non-woven fabrics for them are known by the society, and even the enterprises themselves do not consider brand creation.

Secondly, it is trapped in channel hegemony.

Without brand and lack of influence, it is not the final product, nor will it have the right to speak, or even enter the market.

Because industrial textiles are in the middle of the industrial chain, they are strongly controlled by the downstream application areas, which makes it difficult for us to enter the domestic market for various reasons even if we have international recognition of high-end medical textiles.

The value of automobile textiles as accessories is only about 4% of the total vehicle. However, the various technical requirements and standards of the host plant make our enterprises only tired of customizing services for "God".

The three is puzzled by the lack of standards.

With the rapid development of China's industrial textiles industry, the construction of relevant standards is lagging behind, and the lack of standards is not the industry's own ability. The strong attitude of downstream industries and supporting enterprises often negate or neglect the formulation and application of the industry standards with industry barriers and user standards.

In addition, due to the wide application fields of industrial textiles, similar products have different technical requirements in different fields, and there is no uniformity of standard design in China, so the product development is difficult to form a system.

It is not easy to learn from the advanced international experience and improve the systematicness and applicability of the standard.

It is precisely because of the constraints of the development of these industries that it has become a glimmer of embarrassment behind the "importance" of the textile industry.

Industrial textiles are not only an important component and branch of China's textile industry, but also a strategic commanding point for developing new industries such as new materials.

This is only far from enough attention from the traditional textile industry, and it is crucial for the downstream industry, other fields and other departments to attach importance to it.

At present, the recognition of the society is not high, including our own reasons and the consideration of the adjustment and upgrading of the textile industry at the macro level. There are also factors that are not enough to promote the national strategic level and the knowledge is not deep enough.

Because the service objects are different from the individual users of clothing and home textiles, industrial textiles are the 2.5 industry between manufacturing and service industries.

Therefore, advocating the combination of "politics, production, learning, research and application", emphasizing the collaborative development of industrial textile enterprises and downstream, actively establishing industrial innovation alliance and inter departmental coordination mechanism is the most important part of industrial development.

Only by stimulating consumption from the needs of the market can we improve the advantages and functions of our industry.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the Chinese textile industry association decided to take service innovation as the main line, and strive to realize the mode pformation, chain extension, value embodiment and ability enhancement of services, in order to comprehensively promote the development of industries and enterprises.

While constantly improving the function of the association in the industry, we should also make breakthroughs for the industry to break through the awkward position and seek substantive development.

The purpose of many measures is that we hope that the competent departments of relevant industries will pay enough attention to and promote the development of industrial textiles, and give good industrial support policies to bring more favorable soil to the industrial textile industry.
