Xie Ming, President of Jiangsu Textile Industry Association, told reporters that during the "11th Five-Year" period, Jiangsu

To sum up the brilliant achievements of Jiangsu garment industry in the last year of 11th Five-Year, we can not ignore the great role played by Jiangsu international garment festival in the construction of "brand Jiangsu" in the past five years. We should also see the leading role of benchmarking enterprises such as Bosideng and Yalu to the whole industry, and, of course, a large number of high-end products created by the complete chain of Jiangsu's textile industry.

Turning over the past five years' development history of Jiangsu garment industry, the two main lines of this golden development period are scale growth and structural optimization.

In the past four years of operation data, in 2009, the total output of clothing in Jiangsu was 3 billion 440 million 180 thousand, accounting for 16.26% of the total clothing output of the country, representing an increase of 35% over the 2 billion 545 million 700 thousand total garment production in 2005.

Among them, the total output of woven garments is 2 billion 94 million 300 thousand, accounting for 23.18% of the total output of woven garments in the country, representing an increase of 40% compared with the total output of woven garments in 2005. The total output of knitted garments is 1 billion 345 million 800 thousand, accounting for 11.10% of the total output of the country, representing a 42% increase in the total output of knitted garments in 2005. The export volume of clothing is 14 billion 810 million US dollars, which is 36%% higher than that of the 2005 garment export of 10 billion 943 million dollars; the total profit of the whole industry is about $1 billion 500 million, which is more than the total profit of 2005.

Yu Bing, President of Jiangsu clothing association, looked at the operation data of 2010. He said: "in 2010, the total sales volume and total profit of Jiangsu clothing industry increased rapidly, and the per capita profit, asset profit rate and sales profit rate all exceeded the level of the same period last year. The quality of Jiangsu garment industry's economic operation has been further improved, and it has maintained the first status of the total profit of the textile industry in Jiangsu province."

In the past few years or even a few years ago, the strong foundation and huge role of the export oriented industry in Jiangsu has been promoting the development of the whole industry. In the "11th Five-Year" period, the products changed significantly to the high value-added direction, the number of domestic brands increased greatly, and the gold content of brands increased. Meanwhile, the pfer of pnational industries, the p provincial and intra provincial pfer had played a significant role in adjusting the structure.

Jiangsu has more than more than 3600 garment enterprises and 791 thousand and 660 employees, with an annual output of 3 billion 444 million (sets). According to about 6000000000 people in the world, one of five earth people wears "made in Jiangsu" clothing.

Over the years, Jiangsu's clothing processing capability has entered the "outbreak period": formal clothing, fashion, children's wear, casual wear, underwear and down garments almost cover all clothing categories.

Of course, another fact is that the clothing produced in Jiangsu and priced at Euro 50 in Europe may only get one or two euros.

In view of the shortcomings of the past large scale production capacity, weak design and development, large number of enterprises, low aggregate linkage, strong processing advantages and slow added value, under the guidance of the government and the service of the association, during the "11th Five-Year" period, the enterprises were guided to become value oriented and low-cost competitive ones.

While focusing on the three major export markets of Japan, the United States and the European Union, Jiangsu's clothing exports have vigorously explored new export markets. In 2010, exports to Bangladesh, ASEAN and India increased by 45.5%, 91.3% and 200% respectively.

In the export product mix, the development of suits, fashion, down garments, high-end shirts, casual wear, silk clothing and other high-end products, the main backbone enterprises gradually realize the pformation from quantitative efficiency to quality benefit. The single piece price of the whole industry has reached 4 dollars or more from the 2.1 US dollars in 1990 and 3.6 US dollars in 1995.

Transformation and upgrading have raised the export level.

In improving the design ability, clothing key export enterprises have trained a number of excellent fashion designers.

For example, the red bean group hired senior talents in design and management from overseas, and cooperated with the French ESMOD high fashion design institute to train a large number of designers for the group. This made the ODM mode account for more than 30% of its main business income in 2009, so as to design the order to increase the economic efficiency of the enterprises and enter the ranks of the top 100 enterprises in the country.
