China'S Textile And Garment Exports Grew Negatively For 11 Consecutive Months.

In the three quarter since the international market demand continues to slump, and domestic cost advantages gradually weaken.

The export situation of the industry continued to deteriorate, and the cumulative growth rate of textile and clothing exports slowed further than in the first half of the year.

The latest customs data show that in the first three quarters of this year, China

A slight increase, the cumulative export of $187 billion 114 million, an increase of 0.54% over the same period, the growth rate compared to 1~8 -0.7% rose 1.24 percentage points, reversing the previous two consecutive months of decline.

Among them, the export of textiles was US $71 billion 53 million, an increase of 0.24% over the same period last year, and exports of clothing and accessories reached US $116 billion 61 million, an increase of 0.73% over the same period last year.

Chen Dapeng, executive vice president of China Apparel Association, revealed that this year's

The situation is not optimistic. In August, China Customs data showed that clothing exports were -1.8% growth, so China's clothing exports have been negative for 11 consecutive months.

"The rise in domestic production costs has led to a decline in the overall efficiency of the garment industry and an increase of twenty or thirty per cent."

Sharp decline in demand in Europe and America, continued decline in exports

according to

News this year, foreign demand for textiles is insufficient.

In 1~7 months, the growth rate of imports and exports of textiles and clothing from the United States and Japan dropped by more than 10 percentage points over the same period last year, while the growth rate of EU imports dropped by more than 20 percentage points.

Customs statistics show that China's textile and garment exports to the EU and Japan have declined to varying degrees.

In the first half of August this year, I exported $16 billion 700 million to Japan, an increase of 0.93% over the same period last year, of which textiles was $3 billion 190 million, down 0.22% compared with the same period last year, and clothing was 13 billion 570 million US dollars, up 1.2% over the same period last year.

In July, China's exports of textiles and clothing to the European Union amounted to US $5 billion 500 million, down 21.4% from the same period last year, the second largest decline since February 2012.

In 1~8 months, China exported $25 billion 500 million to us textiles and clothing, an increase of 3.4% over the same period last year.

Among them, clothing exports 18 billion 820 million US dollars, an increase of 2% over the same period, and textile exports of US $6 billion 680 million, an increase of 7.5% over the same period last year.

At the same time, the export of textile and clothing in Southeast Asian countries has suddenly risen, which poses a challenge to China.

1~7 months, the United States imported more textile and clothing from Vietnam, with a growth rate of 8%.

Before August, Japan's textile and garment imports from ASEAN grew rapidly, with an increase of 20.1%. ASEAN's share in the Japanese market rose to 14%, an increase of 1.8 percentage points over the same period last year.

Chen Dapeng said that in August this year, the proportion of garment export products under $5 per unit price dropped by 13%, which indicates that the low price processing of China's garment enterprises has been unable to do, and many international enterprises have gradually turned the processing chain to Southeast Asia.

Export warming industry is still in trouble in September.

However, the good news is that in September, China's textile and garment exports reached a new high.

In September, the total value of China's imports and exports was 345 billion 30 million US dollars, an increase of 6.3%.

Among them, exports of US $186 billion 350 million, an increase of 9.9%, a month's export scale reached a record high, compared with the July and August year-on-year growth rate of exports increased by 8.9 and 7.2 percentage points respectively.

Analysts believe that there are many factors to promote the recovery of exports in September.

One is seasonal factors.

Generally speaking, at the end of the year, many foreign trade enterprises have received an increase in orders from Europe and the United States, especially Christmas orders. The overall situation is relatively optimistic. Two, policy support. Under the situation of weak external demand and increased import and export pressure, the State Council issued a stable foreign trade growth in last month, covering the export tax rebates, export credit insurance and trade financing, which are most concerned by foreign trade enterprises, and will effectively change the situation that enterprises are "afraid to pick up".

The analysis also believed that although the export and domestic demand of textile and garment industry improved slightly in the three quarter, the pressure on the development of textile industry still existed: labor costs and capital costs increased year by year, and energy prices continued to rise.

In the second half of this year, the overall growth of the textile industry will decline substantially compared with the previous year. Therefore, many small, medium and micro enterprises will face the risk of being eliminated.
