Ten Years Of China'S Garment Industry From Foreign Trade To Domestic Sales

Huge breakthroughs in exports

Over the past 10 years, many of China has experienced ups and downs.

People are happy and sad, but in the past 10 years, some developed countries have done something about China.

The trade barriers set up by garment export have been vividly remembered by many people.

"In 2001, when China just joined the WTO, the United States began to restrict the entry of China's textile and clothing; in the first phase of 2003, the Walter insurance case was launched for 242 stages of textile products; after the 2005 quota was abolished completely, the European and American countries signed the central European and American memorandum to extend the time limit for the textile quantity; after 2007, China entered the stage of free trade and met the normal trade friction; in the second half of 2008, the textile industry was in a difficult position when the international financial crisis broke out; and in 2011 ~2012, it was also faced with the European economic downturn and the economic stagnation situation caused by the European debt crisis, and exports were still a cold winter."

Gao Yong, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, recalls the development of China's accession to the WTO.

At the initial stage of the past 10 years, China

The trade structure was once questioned.

Most of those export enterprises were mainly OEM, with low added value and at the bottom of the "smile curve" in international trade.

Small scale and relatively dispersed export are common problems of these enterprises.

But what surprises us is that in the past 10 years, China's garment export has been changing its mode and striving for improvement.

Many people once said that the export products should be improved, and they could not walk the world at low cost.

In the past 10 years, China's garment export enterprises have been improving in many ways. 10 years later, China's clothing export has begun a spectacular show of "audience rating". According to customs statistics, in 2003, China exported 52 billion 66 million garments and accessories, and exported 17 billion 744 million pieces.

In 2011, the total export volume of clothing and accessories in China amounted to US $153 billion 220 million, and the number of garments exported was 29 billion 223 million.

In 2011, the amount of clothing exports was 2.9 times that of 2003, and the number of exports was 1.6 times that of 2003.

In the month of January 2012 ~6, China exported $67 billion 513 million of garments and accessories and exported 13 billion 336 million.

Over the past 10 years, the trade surplus of textiles and clothing increased from 39 billion 153 million US dollars to 191 billion 681 million US dollars, an increase of 389.57%; the cumulative trade surplus of 10 years was 1 trillion and 138 billion 142 million US dollars, accounting for 85.8% of the total trade surplus in the same period of the same period of the whole country. From the perspective of trade, the proportion of general trade increased from 55.7% in 2000 to 74.4% in 2010, of which the general trade ratio of textiles was up to 77%, and the general trade of clothing reached 77%.

In 2010, China's textile and clothing exports reached 212 billion US dollars, an increase of 3 times compared with 2000, an annual increase of 14.86%, accounting for 15% of the total global textile and clothing trade from 15% in 2000 to over 1/3.

From the perspective of trade, the proportion of general trade increased from 55.7% in 2000 to 74.4% in 2010, of which the general trade ratio of textiles reached 77% and the general trade of clothing reached 78.3%.

Among them, enterprise investment, independent brand going out and pnational allocation of resources have made significant breakthroughs.

With the appreciation of RMB, the price of raw materials and the rising cost of labor, the unit price of clothing exports has been rising. The promotion of clothing unit price has become the main driving force to promote the overall export volume of clothing. China's clothing export is changing from quantity driven to price driven.

As Sun Huaibin, deputy director general of the China Textile Industry Federation and director of the information center, said, "in the past 10 years, the international competitiveness of China's textile and garment exports has greatly improved, and has made outstanding contributions to China's foreign exchange earning and import capabilities."

Rising prosperity of domestic sales

If we say that in the past 10 years, the stability of exports has made China see the international market.

The beautiful, then the leap in the domestic market, let the world see the prosperity of the Chinese market.

According to the statistics of the National Bureau of statistics, in 2003, the sales volume of textile and clothing products in wholesale and retail trade above Designated Size reached 362 billion 730 million yuan; in 2006, the clothing was above the national limit.

The wholesale and retail sales of hat and textile reached 645 billion 900 million yuan.

In 2006, the per capita clothing expenditure of urban and rural residents in China reached 902 yuan and 168 yuan respectively, an increase of 12.56% and 13.08% compared with the same period last year, especially for rural residents. The growth of clothing expenditure for the first time exceeded the GDP growth rate since 2005. In 2011, the per capita clothing expenditure of urban residents in China has reached 1674.7 yuan, and the per capita clothing expenditure of rural residents has also increased significantly.

While domestic textile and garment retail sales have maintained a relatively fast growth, the retail price index of textiles and clothing has ended 8 years since 1997, and it began to pick up in June 2006.

Retail price recovery is the most significant feature of domestic textile and clothing consumption warming.

By 2007, the consumption demand of clothing for the whole country has reached about 500000000000 Yuan.

Especially when the global financial crisis happened in 2008, the domestic market played an extremely important role.

In 2008, urban residents purchased 7.7 garments per capita and 2.7 rural residents per capita.

In 2008, the total retail sales of consumer goods amounted to 856 billion 400 million yuan.

In January 2008 ~10, the domestic sales value of textile enterprises above Designated Size reached 2 trillion and 130 billion 324 million yuan, accounting for 76.50% of the sales output value, and the production and marketing rate had been stable at 97%.

After the implementation of a series of policies, such as expanding domestic demand and supporting rural development, the domestic market has become a new growth point in the textile and garment industry.

Under the stimulation of consumption, the output value of domestic sales is increasing faster.

From 2005 to 2008, the average annual growth rate of domestic textile output value of above scale textile industry increased by 19.99% percentage points over the fifteen period, reaching 3.08 percentage points.

In 2009, the growth rate of total retail sales of textile and clothing was still higher than that of the total retail sales of consumer goods.

According to the statistics of National Bureau of statistics, the total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 15.5% over the same period in 2009, of which clothing,

Needle textile products increased by 18.8%, an increase of 3.3 percentage points higher than the average level, only lower than furniture and automobile industry.

China's clothing consumption environment has been rapidly warming after just experiencing the global financial crisis.

In 2010, the total output value of China's textile industry above Designated Size reached 47650 billion US dollars, an increase of 12.7% over the same period last year.

The growth of internal efficiency is more prominent.

According to the recent data of the National Bureau of statistics, in the first 7 months of 2012, the total output value of 37 thousand Textile Enterprises above Designated Size reached 3 trillion and 146 billion 710 million yuan.

After 10 years of development, the domestic market of Chinese clothing has become the world.

Concerned about the delicious cake, and the prosperity of China's clothing market, we can not do without the rise of Chinese local brands and the increasingly open consumption concept of consumers.

When it comes to the future development of the clothing industry, Chen Dapeng, executive vice president of the China clothing association, said: "for the market," happiness "is a comparison.

Although our market is unlikely to have a growth rate of 30% or 20% as before, at least there is a growth rate of 10%. Compared with the negative growth in Europe, our situation is much better. Our clothing industry is still in a period of steady development.

Our market demand is changing. Enterprises should adapt to this change and meet new expectations and new demands.

Therefore, when the whole industry is indeed adjusted and must be changed and adjusted, the form and mode of development of garment industry must be changed.

Restructuring and upgrading is not a concept, but a must in practice.

The garment industry is no longer the development of quantity and scale, but has changed into value driven and connotative development.

No longer bigger, but stronger.

So as to enhance our creativity and creativity.

Admittedly, the Chinese garment industry has stood at a new height after 10 years of development and pformation. However, in the face of the competition and suppression of other international brands, Chinese clothing still lacks the strength to fight back, and it needs to be bigger and stronger. This strong demand needs 10 years, 20 years or even hundreds of years of struggle, and the efforts of Chinese costumes are needed.

Under this belief, we firmly believe that it is not far away to enter the "golden period" of Chinese clothing in the world.
