Current Situation And Future Development Trend Of Warp Knitting Industry

1. Development of warp knitting

1. development process of warp knitting products

Since the 70s of last century, warp knitted products have been developing rapidly in China, and products are becoming more and more diverse.

In half a century, warp knitted products have been widely used in industry, agriculture, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, pportation, national defense, military, aerospace, medical and health industries, and have achieved great success.

From the beginning of warp knitted fabric only to mosquito net cloth, to now lace, home textiles, artificial satellites, submarine tunnels, wind power blades, synthetic building plates and so on, traces of warp knitted fabric can be seen everywhere.

Warp knitted products have become an indispensable fabric situation in home textiles, clothing and industry.

In recent years, with the introduction of multi axial and biaxial warp knitting machines, composites produced by warp knitting technology have become the top priority in the field of industrial applications.

2. development of warp knitting machinery

Warp knitting machinery has experienced 303 or 304 warp knitting machines in the 70s of last century, and imported warp knitting machines have entered China since 80s. Now, our national warp knitting machinery has reached 3000 units / year. The speed of development is beyond imagination. Not only the number of warp knitting machines has increased, but also the manufacturing level has been greatly improved.

The speed of the high speed machine has changed from only 1000 turns to 4400 turns now. The maximum gate width has been changed from 90 inches to 268 inches, which has changed dramatically in the past 30 years or so.

At the same time, we must mention the manufacturing level of domestic warp knitting machinery. Now it is not only of good material quality, high machining accuracy, but also extends to various specifications, high machine numbers, wide width and so on. At the same time, it develops to specialties and specialties, and has produced a number of high level warp knitting machinery manufacturing enterprises.

Changzhou Run Yuan warp knitting machinery Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing warp knitting equipment since 2002. In less than 10 years, the company has only one product from the beginning, and now its products cover many fields such as clothing, home textiles, industry and so on. Its capacity has also developed from the initial few units per month to the capacity of 500 warp knitting machines now.

Other companies including Changde textile machinery, five foreign textile machinery and Xin Gang spinning machinery have also been developing rapidly. This proves that China's domestic warp knitting industry has been developing rapidly, and the stability of technology and quality has also been improved.

The large scale localization of equipment has further promoted the rapid and healthy development of the whole industry.

Two. Advantages of warp knitting industry

1. technology intensive advantages

The warp knitting industry is an advantageous industry that has been developing continuously in recent years.

The warp knitting industry in China occupies an important position in the textile industry due to its high technology content, excellent production efficiency and unique product performance.

Today's warp knitting equipment not only has good material quality and high machining accuracy, but also extends to various specifications, high machine numbers, wide width and so on. At the same time, it develops towards special-purpose and specialization.

The rich models and simple debugging expand the design space of warp knitting products.

At the same time, the structure of decoration products has been optimized.

The upgrade and industrial warp knitted products have expanded to more applications.

Many products with high technology content should be produced at times, such as key components for hemodialysis devices, artificial blood vessels, wind power generation, reinforcement materials, etc.

In addition, lace, elastic fabrics and some industrial warp knitted products, such as warp knitted products with high technology content and high added value, are becoming increasingly competitive in China's textile exports.

2. Industry Cluster Advantage

Since the beginning of 1980s, a number of unique warp knitting industrial clusters have been formed in the southeastern coastal areas of China.

Over the past few years, the warp knitting industry cluster has become a major feature of the development. The output value, sales revenue and profit growth rate of the warp knitting industry cluster are significantly higher than that of the textile industry.

The average level.

Fujian Changle, Zhejiang Haining, Guangdong Shantou, Jiangsu Changzhou, Jiangsu Changshu and other warp knitting industrial clusters have become a model.

The advantage of clustering in China's warp knitting industry lies in its complete industry, rich products, complete specifications, low production cost, strong competitive advantages, and some products even have strong international competitiveness.

3. strong competitiveness and obvious development advantages

As we all know, the warp knitting industry is the key development and upgrading industry of knitting industry in China during the "11th Five-Year" period. Many provinces and municipalities attach great importance to the development of warp knitting industry, and take the highly skilled warp knitting industry as a leading industry to support vigorously.

In recent years, the popularity of warp knitted products market has made the warp knitting industry become the highlight of knitting and even the entire textile industry. More and more people and capital have been injected into the warp knitting industry.

From the 2011 Shanghai textile machinery exhibition, which I have just concluded, I think the most profound feeling is that the proportion of warp knitting equipment is getting higher and higher. The warp knitting equipment can be seen everywhere in the exhibition, which is rare in previous exhibitions.

Another thing I have to mention is that the warp knitting equipment in the market is now a new machine. This shows that the whole industry belongs to a period of vigorous development. I believe that the spring of warp knitting industry is coming.

4. labor cost advantage

We all know that warp knitting equipment is one of the most technical equipment in textile machinery, and the high efficiency of warp knitting equipment makes the cost of labor relatively low.

According to the survey, the labor demand of warp knitting industry is obviously lower than that of the textile industry, but labor productivity is obviously higher than that of other textile industries.

This advantage is becoming more and more obvious in terms of currency and the increasing cost of labor.

Three, the development disadvantage of warp knitting industry

1. lack of innovation awareness, single product and lack of market competitiveness.

This is the most obvious disadvantage of the warp knitting industry at present, with a single product and poor innovation capability of warp knitting weaving enterprises.

Product plagiarism directly leads to a sharp drop in profits and plunge into vicious competition.

Many weaving entrepreneurs are sighing that the business is not good enough now, and the products can not be sold. Innovation is the only way out.

Many bosses are afraid that their research and development results are being stolen, and they spend a lot of money to make clothes for others, so they abandon their research and development. In fact, we have better ways to protect our R & D results, and abandoning R & D is not the right way for enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

2. lack of brand awareness and low product profit.

Although the warp knitting industry is developing rapidly, there are not many famous brands. The reason why it is lack of brand awareness and the lack of brand awareness are very important.

The direct result of lacking brand awareness is the low profit of products.

Personally, I think we should learn more from all walks of life.

As soon as possible, we should establish brand awareness, form product differentiation and improve product profits, which is the way to healthy development.

Insufficient penetration between the 3. industrial chains leads to poor information.

Although the development of warp knitting industry chain has matured, the penetration between industrial chains is insufficient.

Warp knitting materials, warp knitting machines, warp knitted products, and multi-channel communication between end users are few.

Warp knitting enterprises and warp knitting enterprises do not know much about warp knitting machinery, and warp knitting machinery enterprises do not know much about warp knitting applications, which leads to the disconnection of the whole industry chain.

Four, the future development of warp knitting industry

1., establish confidence in innovation, strengthen intellectual property protection, and purify innovation environment.

First of all, we must establish the R & D confidence of the above scale warp knitting enterprises, increase R & D investment and make it a leading effect. Secondly, while strengthening the publicity and protection of intellectual property rights, enterprises should strengthen their awareness of intellectual property protection, formulate corresponding protective measures, and guide enterprises to gradually improve their ability to use, manage and protect intellectual property rights, effectively protect the interests and enthusiasm of enterprises in technological innovation, product innovation and brand cultivation, and create a favorable environment for innovation.

2., intensify brand building and improve product competitiveness.

We should continue to increase brand building and research in the aspects of corporate image, product quality, product standards, and corporate culture, so as to create brand characteristics and increase the awareness of downstream customers.

Run Yuan warp knitting machinery Co., Ltd. not only set up its own VI recognition system, but also set up 4S shop in the main warp knitting distributing center, and set up a training school for training related workers, customers and industries. These are indispensable tasks for building a famous brand.

3., strengthen the exchange of industrial chains to make information pmission more smoothly, and the development of various sections is more purposeful.

As many as possible in the industry to organize a number of exchange activities, participants from raw material producers to terminal cost dealers.

All links are fully communicated. These communication can further promote the improvement and development of all links, and contribute to the development of the whole industry.

Here, we also want to thank Jiangnan University for organizing the warp knitting technical exchange in recent years. At the same time, we hope that our colleagues will cherish this opportunity to communicate, learn more and learn more, so that we can contribute to the development of warp knitting industry.
