The Textile And Garment Industry Cluster Touches Stones To Cross The River.

Since 2002, the China Federation of textile industry (the former China Textile Industry Association) has carried out the pilot work of the cluster development of textile industry.

Today, the pilot textile cluster area has developed from the initial 38 counties to 175 counties (towns and counties) up to the end of 2010, and its textile industrial cluster economy accounts for more than 80% of the total textile economy.

It can be said that the textile industrial cluster area mainly based on the regional economy of the city (county) and town has developed into China's textile industry with its vigorous economic vitality.

An important part of the industry.

The growing industrial cluster economy

Sun Ruizhe, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, believes that with the growth of the domestic textile and garment industry, the development of textile and garment industrial clusters has gone through three stages.

The first stage, after the reform and opening up to the beginning of 1990s, the regional economic development has entered the stage of "primitive Industrial Agglomeration".

In this stage, relying on the coastal trade and trading market, textile and garment manufacturing enterprises show a concentrated distribution trend, but the industrial correlation is small, and the coordination operation function is not perfect.

The second stage is from the beginning of 1990s to the beginning of twenty-first Century. The textile and apparel industry cluster has entered the stage of "industry related agglomeration". The "regional brand" has gradually formed, the industrial chain has become more complete, the division of labor and the degree of cooperation have been effectively improved, but there are still some objective problems, such as the large consumption of resources, the tendency of homogenization of enterprises and the low added value of products.

The third stage can be called the stage of "industrial innovation agglomeration". In 2002, the Sixteen Party put forward the idea of "taking a new road to industrialization, emphasizing on relying on scientific and technological progress, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure". The development of industrial clusters has entered a new stage of strategic adjustment. On the basis of the original "regional brand", industrial clusters began to strengthen their brand effect. Its main characteristics are: regional economy starts from "production oriented economy" to "demand oriented economy", from "extensive economy" to "intensive economy", and "imitation economy" turns to "innovative economy".
