At Present, The Woollen Textile Industry Is Facing Difficulties.

Since the beginning of this year, under the background of the slow recovery of the international economic recovery and the slow pace of domestic economic development, Wool textile industry The factors of economic operation are complicated. The export, investment and domestic consumption performance is weak, cost rising, financing difficulties and other factors perplexing enterprises. The economic operation of China's wool textile industry has entered a comprehensive downward channel.

Production and marketing slowdown

This year, the sluggish economy has led to weak domestic and foreign market demand for wool spinning.

1123 households above 1~7 scale Spin and dyeing and finishing Finishing enterprises, completed industrial output value of 112 billion 700 million yuan, an increase of 8.08% over the same period last year and the first quarter of last year dropped 18.25 and 8.24 percentage points respectively; the sales output value reached 108 billion 100 million yuan, an increase of 6.91% over the same period last year; the growth rate dropped 20.18 and 7.91 percentage points respectively from the same period last year and the first quarter of this year; domestic sales accounted for 87.02%, and the growth rate was 6.88%.

Market downturn

The international market demand is seriously insufficient. Customs statistics showed that the number of raw materials and products exported from 1~7 decreased by 16.9% compared with the same period last year, and the export volume decreased by 6.9% compared with the same period in 2009 (-20% in the same period). The unit price increase slowed down the export volume.

From the observation of export products, the decline of wool and yarn exports in the upstream of the industrial chain is larger than that of the rear end fabrics. clothing The decline of exports is larger than the decline of textiles. Only wool carpet exports continued to grow, reaching the highest level in the same period of history, but export prices fell by 3.05%.

From the export market, the main export destination market, the European Union, the United States and South Korea fell more than the average decline of exports, and maintained a small increase in ASEAN exports. This indicates that the terminal market demand of international wool products is sluggish. In addition, some of the products are sent to low cost countries, and some of our yarn and fabric products are exported to low cost countries to meet the needs of their industrial chain matching.

Domestic market sales growth slowed down month by month. National Bureau of statistics statistics show that in 2012 1~7 months Clothing and shoes The retail sales of needle textiles increased by 518 billion 100 million yuan, up 17% from the same period last year, which is 2.3 percentage points higher than that of the same period. Domestic retail sales fell 9.4 percentage points from the same period last year, while clothing retail sales dropped 7.2 percentage points over the same period last year. It shows that the scale of domestic retail demand continues to expand, and garment demand growth is higher than overall demand, but the growth rate is falling faster.

The overall growth rate of domestic textile market is different from that of the textile industry, and the cumulative growth rate of domestic wool market is decreasing month by month. Since the two quarter, the rate of decline has accelerated, showing that domestic market demand is not strong. According to the statistics of the China National Business Information Center, the volume of retail sales of the major retail enterprises in the first half of the year was basically the same as that of the same period last year, a slight decrease of 0.05% over the same period last year. The retail sales of men's suits increased by 5.57% over the same period last year, and the retail sales of cashmere and sweater decreased by 13.37% compared to the same period last year.

Benefit decline

The sluggish market situation in 2012, coupled with rising labor costs, high raw material costs and high financing costs brought about by the high price of wool raw materials, have made the pressure on enterprises more and more serious, and the profitability has weakened.

In the first half of this year, the total profit of 1123 Enterprises above Designated Size reached 4 billion 183 million yuan, up 2.2% from the same period last year. The two level division of enterprises is more serious, and the deficit has reached 24.13%, and the deficit of loss making enterprises has increased by 92.33%. At the same time, we noticed that the quality of upstream operation of the industry chain is not as good as that of the downstream industry, and the quality of small and medium-sized enterprises is not as good as that of large enterprises.

The prospect is not optimistic.

Market demand is the fundamental motive force and objective basis for the normal operation of an enterprise. Judging from the international market, the EU economy has no signs of improvement, consumption expenditure growth is weak, the fundamentals of the US and Japan are better than that of the European Union, but influenced by the structural adjustment of consumption expenditure, clothing consumption demand has declined; emerging market countries are faced with the problems of insufficient external demand, capital outflow and inflation, and the matching demand of the industrial chain is decreasing and imports are reduced. This shows that the uncertainty in the international market is still high and the outlook is not optimistic, and this situation may continue for a longer time. {page_break}

In the domestic market, under the background of economic downturn, industrial production growth slowed sharply, investment and consumption continued to slow down, and GDP growth slowed down gradually. Driven by factors such as continuous high domestic textile raw materials and rising labor prices, the factory price of clothing consumer goods is still rising under the overall fall in the prices of industrial products, and the increase in food prices in CPI remains high, which inhibits the growth of demand for apparel products. It is expected that the growth of domestic sales will accelerate gradually in the selling season, but the overall growth level will be significantly lower than the previous year. The sale of wool products without price competitive advantage will be more affected.

　 Pressure increase

Because of the slowdown in domestic macro-economic growth and the steady fall in prices, monetary policy began to become stable and loose. It is expected that the domestic monetary environment will remain relatively relaxed for the rest of the year, and the deposit reserve ratio and interest rate may still be lowered. In order to control the rebound in prices, credit will continue to be steady and will not relax significantly. Therefore, the financing difficulties of SMEs will not change significantly.

From the aspect of production factors, although the market demand is not prosperous, the price of wool will be affected by factors such as supply and exchange rate. Since 2012, the rise in labor prices has become a rigid demand. It is estimated that the per capita wage of the textile industry will increase by about 15% throughout the year, and the pressure of enterprises will continue to increase. Affected by weak industrial demand and limited price of electricity by the state, the price of domestic steam coal has continued to decline this year. Fuel power prices are expected to remain low.

In addition, the task of energy saving and emission reduction in wool textile industry is arduous. During the "11th Five-Year" period, the total volume of sewage discharged from the textile industry was much higher than that of the national industrial wastewater discharge. In the 39 industrial sectors, the textile industry wastewater discharge ranks third, after the paper industry, chemical raw materials and products industry. The total amount of sewage discharged from the textile industry is also increasing in the whole country. The COD emissions of textile industry ranked fourth in 39 industrial sectors, and the proportion of chemical oxygen demand in textile industry also showed an increasing trend. The gap between reality and the national "11th Five-Year" put forward that the total emissions of major pollutants dropped by 10%. Therefore, the printing and dyeing industry is listed as one of the four key points of the national "12th Five-Year" energy conservation and emission reduction. In the field of wool scouring, dyeing and finishing, the task of reducing emissions during the "12th Five-Year" period is very arduous.

In short, the situation of China's wool textile industry is facing grim situation, and this difficult situation is difficult to reverse in the short term. Enterprises should make psychological preparations for long-term coping with the predicament, build confidence and speed up the transformation and upgrading of the industry.
