Cass Report: Market Share Of China's Textile And Garment Industry Ranks Second In The World.

This morning, the Academy of Social Sciences held the 2012 "industrial blue book" press conference and officially released the report on China's industrial competitiveness (2012) NO.2.

At the meeting, Guo Zhaoxian, deputy director of the industrial organization Institute of the Institute of industrial economics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out that the textile and garment industry is China's most competitive industry, whether from the international market share,

"The market share of our textile and garment industry ranks second in the world, 6 times in Italy, 7 times in Germany and 12 times in the United States."

Guo Zhaoxian said.

The following is a live record:

Guo Zhaoxian: Good morning, leaders, experts and correspondents.

I have made a report on the competitiveness of nonferrous metals, petrochemicals and textile and garment industry, echoing what Zhang Qizai said: the competitiveness of the country in the low technology industry is overwhelming, and the middle and high technology industry is not very optimistic.

The competitiveness of textile and garment industry is divided into textile industry and garment manufacturing industry. It is the most competitive industry in China.

The trade competitiveness index has maintained over 0.6 for a long time, while the clothing trade competitiveness index is at a long-term close to 1.

The revealed comparative advantage index is generally over 2.5, reaching more than 2.5, indicating that the industry has strong international competitiveness.

I am shocked by the productivity of the textile and garment industry. Our productivity is 9 times that of Italy and 14 times that of the United States. This means that our industry has strong international competitiveness and indeed has a solid foundation.

This international financial crisis has little impact on the competitiveness of China's textile and garment industry. After the crisis, except for a slight decrease in the indicator of comparative advantage, other indicators exceeded the level before the crisis.

The comparative advantage index of Chinese, American, German and Italian textiles is compared with that of major countries.

China's textile and clothing industry's low carbon competitiveness and total energy consumption point out that the textile industry ranks sixth in 39 industrial sectors.

Compared with other countries in the world, carbon productivity is relatively low, taking into account the factors of carbon emissions, and the competitiveness of the industry is not as beautiful as the data just now.

The reasons for low carbon productivity are: first, small and medium enterprises are the main ones in industrial organization.

Two, coal is the main source of energy use.

There are many opportunities to improve energy efficiency in the textile and garment industry. For different technological paths, the cost of emission reduction is different. Different enterprises will carry out their own specific situations.

In terms of market share, there has been a slight increase in the past two years, and chemical products increased from 7% in 2008 to 10%.

Petroleum processing, coking and nuclear fuel processing industry, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry.

Compared with the developed countries, the carbon productivity of the petroleum and chemical industries is relatively low. Although carbon productivity has increased considerably over the past two years, it is also relatively low compared with the developed countries.

The international competitiveness of the industry is relatively weak: first, the two industries are capital intensive industries, which fail to meet the requirements of economies of scale.

Two, in the international division of labor, the whole industrial chain is at the low end.

Three is the enterprise research investment leads to energy saving and emission reduction this disadvantage.
