Textile Exports Grew Slightly, But The Situation Was Not Optimistic.

Global economic growth slowed down overall, unemployment in major developed economies was high, consumer confidence was low, debt problems were serious, and recovery was weak. In June, the purchasing managers' index in Europe and America dropped to below 50, and in June of China.

The manager index is 36.2, of which the new export orders index is 40.1, the export confidence index is 41, and the export enterprise comprehensive cost index is 14.9, all located below 50 of the ups and downs line.

In the first half of this year, the export of China's textile industry increased slightly, but the export situation was still not optimistic.

According to the customs information network, in the first half of this year, China exported $110 billion 70 million of textile raw materials and products, an increase of 0.9% over the same period last year, down 25.8 percentage points from the 26.7% growth rate of the same period last year, which is 6.8 percentage points lower than that of the 7 major categories of labor-intensive products in the same period this year.

The negative growth of the main export markets, such as the European Union and China's Hongkong, is related to the overall slowdown in current economic growth and the lack of external demand. The emerging market countries such as Vietnam and Philippines, which are in an adverse trend, should pay attention to this, which may be related to the competitiveness of neighboring countries and the shift of orders.

To sum up, in the first half of this year, China's textile industry exports increased slightly, but the growth rate slowed down sharply. There are many reasons for this. First, the European debt crisis has weakened the demand of the EU's largest trading partner in the EU, and the emerging markets are also hard to be independent. Two, the trade protection is heating up, and the export threshold of the textile industry is rising, which restricts China.

Export growth space, three is the low degree of concentration of textile enterprises, comprehensive production and operation costs rise, our traditional competitive advantage weakened, orders to neighboring countries pfer.

Faced with the severe market situation, textile enterprises should actively respond to the problem, optimize the export industrial structure continuously, improve the industrial chain with reference to international standards, cultivate their own brands, increase the added value of products, develop new markets, reduce the concentration ratio of export markets, and pform from quantity scale growth to quality benefit growth.
