It Is Inevitable That The Knitting Industry Is In A Dilemma.

　　 Knitting industry The basic theory of weft knitting operation is uneven, the proficiency of operators is quite different, the number of skilled operators is seriously insufficient, and the proportion of omnipotent operators is not high, which restricts the sustainable development of the knitting industry.

The shortage of talents and the weak design ability have always been an important problem for the rapid and healthy development of knitting enterprises. At present, many people in the community show indifference to the employment of textile and garment industry, especially young people after 80 and after 90. A few days ago, the China Textile Industry Federation and the China knitwear industry association hosted the 2011 national textile industry weft knitting vocational skills competition. This is the largest professional skill competition in the textile industry in China. After more than half a year, it has been selected for nearly all the preliminaries. Spin 84 of the top runners of the workers entered the finals.

Highly skilled talents: the most lacking in knitting industry Resources

At present, the knitting industry in China has more than 180 thousand large circular machines. The number of front-line workers engaged in weft knitting operations reached 800 thousand, of whom 600 thousand were engaged in large circular machine operation. However, the basic theory of weft knitting industry in the knitting industry is uneven, the proficiency of operators is quite different, the number of skilled operators is seriously insufficient, and the proportion of omnipotent operators is not high, which restricts the sustainable development of the knitting industry.

In order to improve the theoretical level and operational skills of weft knitted workers, promote the continuous improvement of the quality of the products in the knitting industry, enhance the skills of workers and create harmonious and stable labor relations, the China Textile Industry Federation has sponsored the largest textile technology professional competition in weft knitting industry so far.

Yang Shibin, President of the China knitwear industry association, said that at present, the production of textile products by large circular knitting machines involves nearly one million people, and finally 84 of the finals. Therefore, this competition can be said to be a nationwide selection of ten thousand people in all the front-line workers. This competition is better than technology, namely, "the best choice."

Lin Guangxing, vice chairman of the China knitted Industrial Association, said with deep importance: "the lack of high technology talents is the biggest problem in the knitting industry at present." In order to make this competition more influential and sustainable, Lin Guang Xing and others have gone deep into various enterprises. Since April this year, they have run a lot of places. The aim is to hope that knitting enterprises can realize the importance of training high tech talents.

"If my player wins the prize, I will give him up." This is what Lin Guangxing said when he went to Shijiazhuang Changshan group to advertise. Lin Guangxing also pointed out that although many enterprises now have advanced equipment, the enterprises do not attach enough importance to the technical training of their employees, resulting in new equipment, but the workers can not keep up with the technology, thus affecting the production efficiency. At present, most of the grassroots truck drivers, many of whom are recruited from the countryside, have never participated in training. Because they do not understand the principles and lack communication, it is difficult to adapt to the requirements of the work.

Lin Guangxing also pointed out: "at this stage, there is a big gap between the quality of enterprises in China's knitting industry. This requires the textile association to do more publicity. At the same time, we should attach importance to and speed up the compilation of teaching materials and the establishment of vocational skills standards.

Yang Shibin introduced that the China Knitting Industry Association has formulated long-term plans for industrial training from the "11th Five-Year" period. During the "12th Five-Year" period, it also made a "thousand person training plan", attached importance to industry training, and paid attention to the cultivation of enterprise talents. This national textile industry "Bai Yuan Cup" weft knitting vocational skills competition will greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of front-line workers, inspire their sense of honor, and play a positive role for them to win more recognition and improve welfare in the area where their enterprises are located.

Yang Shibin stressed that in the future enterprise development, the self-cultivation of enterprise talents will be more important. Yang Shibin told reporters that such a competition will be held in two years. This continuous promotion will benefit the identification of weft knitted professional skills and the deepening of social identity.

"There are still such deficiencies in the first competition, and many enterprises still do not understand it. But I believe that if we keep going, we will have a long-term impact on the entire textile industry in the next 5 years or 10 years if we stick to it." Lin Guangxing thinks.

Knitting industry: creeping in opportunities and challenges

During the "11th Five-Year" period, the knitting industry has made rapid progress, especially technical equipment has made great progress. In 2010, the total industrial output value, sales value and profit volume of the above scale enterprises in the knitting industry were doubled than in 2005. In 2010, exports of knitted garments and accessories increased by 116% over 2005. What is unknown is that weft knitting industry occupies an important position in the knitting industry. The total industrial output value and sales value of weft knitting enterprises account for more than 70% of the knitting industry.

From the end of the whole textile industry to the end of 11th Five-Year, textile processing accounts for half of the world's total. The processing industry accounts for 1/3 of the textile industry and 1/6 of the world's textile industry.

In an interview, Yang Shibin analyzed the current development of knitting Market at home and abroad. In the export market, the export value of knitted garments and accessories in China in the 1-8 months of this year amounted to US $51 billion 896 million, an increase of 26.47% over the same period last year. According to the proportion of finished products, 70% of the export bodies were completed by the small and medium-sized knitting enterprises. From the domestic market, the proportion of the domestic market of knitwear rose rapidly, and the rapid rise in speed directly led to the emergence of the standardization of the domestic market and the acceleration of logistics.

With the appreciation of RMB, the competitiveness of domestic knitwear exports has obviously declined. According to the exchange rate theory, with the development of a country's economy, its exchange rate will inevitably face appreciation pressure. According to the rapid development of China's economy in the past decades and the level of RMB exchange rate, we can judge that the RMB exchange rate is relatively undervalued. This means that the pressure on the export of knitted goods will continue to increase. At the same time, due to the global economic downturn, the European debt crisis continues to spread, and the global demand for non rigid demand has been reduced, which has caused a great blow to the export of Chinese knitwear.

The wage level of workers has been rising continuously in recent years, and enterprises have been faced with the problem of recruitment difficulties. Some enterprises, though limited in orders, are still afraid of stopping work because of fear of the loss of workers. At the same time, the energy cost of enterprises is rising rapidly. The cost of cotton growing in China is constantly rising. Taking cotton in Xinjiang as an example, in 2010, the cost of cotton planting in the northern Xinjiang regiment was around 1400 yuan / mu, and the area was around 1200 yuan / mu. And by this year, the cost of cotton planting in the northern Xinjiang regiment reached 1700 yuan / mu, and the cost of local planting rose to 1500 yuan / mu. The cost of planting in the southern Xinjiang reached 2000 yuan / mu, and it rose 400-500 yuan / ton. Cotton planting costs continue to rise, making domestic cotton prices at a high level, and cotton accounts for the largest cost of textile enterprises. At 60%-80%, at the same time, from the cost of domestic and foreign cotton planting, the cost of domestic cotton is the highest in the world, which determines that domestic knitting enterprises are facing great cost pressures.

The continuous increase in cotton prices has made the substitution effect of relatively cheap chemical fiber products stronger, which will make a great impact on pure cotton spinning products.

Domestic knitting industry has been in an excess capacity, and the operating rate of enterprises is not enough. According to the relevant data analysis, in 2010, the domestic knitting industry's capacity was about 120 million spindles, and the capacity is expected to be around 150 million spindles this year. In these capacity, the start-up of large enterprises is better, and the operating rate of small and medium-sized enterprises is difficult to guarantee. In the context of excess capacity, new construction capacity is bound to face huge challenges in the sales market and profitability. The industry shuffle is inevitable, and the sharp fluctuations in raw material prices will accelerate the process of shuffling, the latter will increase the concentration of industries, and the small and medium enterprises with insufficient operating rate will face the fate of bankruptcy or acquisition.

In recent years, the transfer of orders to Southeast Asia is very obvious. Orders from European and American markets have shifted to lower remuneration economies such as Kampuchea and Vietnam. In the 1-4 months of this year, the total number of imported garments in the United States increased by 6.6%, but the number of imports from China has declined slightly. Meanwhile, the number of garments exported to other countries in Southeast Asia has increased by more than 15%.

Faced with numerous difficulties, China's knitting industry is heading for difficulties. Yang Shibin appealed: Chinese knitting enterprises should have confidence, and this confidence comes from the existence of the market. "In the 1-9 month of this year, orders for warp knitting enterprises in Haining, Zhejiang, went up against the trend, an increase of 30% compared with the same period last year, and profits increased by 20%. What does this mean? The market is there. The key is whether the product is right, and whether the market can be developed to the maximum extent. "

Yang Shibin believes that in 12th Five-Year, the investment will be more scale based on efficiency. This also provides a new idea for the knitting enterprises to choose products and use funds.
