Shandong Textile Industry Needs New Life In Predicament

In the first half of this year, the demand for international and domestic markets is still in the doldrums. The textile industry continues the difficult situation since 2011, and the enterprises are in a state of low profit. The textile industry will have a big reshuffle.

In August 2nd, the workshop of a textile enterprise in the Canal Economic Development Zone was extremely cold. In the past, the company was too busy to take the weekend off. Now that there are no sufficient orders, the company has arranged for workers to leave early, and only 3 days a week for 7 days.

"The textile industry has reached the limit." The company sighed and sighed at the speaker. The cotton textile enterprise, founded in 1993, has never suffered such a cold winter for more than 20 years. "It is better than 08 years' economic crisis".

More than this one, reporters in many textile enterprises survey, can feel the diffuse pessimism in the textile industry. In the textile industry, the cold wind is blowing hard, and the operating rate of small and medium-sized textile enterprises is less than half. Even if it starts, most of them are only struggling with capital support.

A small county in Xiajin Textile enterprises The boss looked at the storeroom of the storehouse and cried for no tears. In the past, the stock of the small enterprise is about 50 tons. Now the stock is up to more than 200 tons, the most exaggerated time is more than 300 tons, which is 6 times that of the normal period.

"The situation is pressing and the prospects are slim." The director of Tianrun Textile Co., Ltd. summed up the current situation of textile enterprises in 8 words. In his view, the crisis in the textile industry "long to the distant future, chilling, the cotton textile industry is already in a precarious situation."

Terminal market demand remains weak

In the early days, the textile industry with high labor intensity enjoyed the dividend of domestic population, and the momentum of development was surging forward. It could be regarded as the most dazzling pearl on the crown of China's export industry, and its share in the world market was "three points in the world".

Taking advantage of this easterly wind, the large and small textile enterprises in Dezhou, a big cotton producing city, have also developed rapidly. Only Tianrun Textile Co., Ltd. has opened 8 sales offices nationwide.

However, with the emergence of uncertain factors such as the continuous appreciation of RMB and the adjustment of export tax rebates in the second half of 2010, the situation of textile industry has changed sharply until the "cruel and merciless crisis".

In the first half of the year, orders for 8 sales offices of Tianrun Textile Co., Ltd. fell to varying degrees. "Orders for woven and knitting enterprises are few and far between."

"The downstream consumption is insufficient, the export growth of terminal products slows down, and the transmission to the upper reaches causes the cotton yarn price to be weak and the price decline, but the requirement for cotton yarn is becoming more and more strict. Sales decreased, inventory increased, backlog of products increased the difficulty of capital turnover, the pressure of enterprises can be imagined. Tianrun Textile Co., Ltd. responsible for counting the various kinds of helplessness of cotton textile enterprises.

The general manager of a professional knitting garment company has the same feeling: "from 1 to April this year, our market orders were reduced compared with the previous years. The actual production volume of the company is 1 million, which is about 300000 less than that of the same period last year. The requirements of customers are also improving. The customized styles are diverse, small batch and complex process.

The weak market demand of textile industry has been exposed in import and export trade. China Textile Federation's related data show that this year, the international textile market continues the recession since last year. The negative growth trend of cotton textile exports has not changed since last year, and the market share of cotton textiles in Europe and America and other developed countries has a decreasing trend.
