China International Textile Raw Materials Market: Developing New Consumer Market

2013 China International Cotton Spin The conference and China International Textile raw materials market will be held in Nanjing, Jiangsu. In May 13th, Gao Yong, assistant chairman of the China Textile Industry Federation, Yang Shibin, assistant director of Foreign Affairs Office and Yuan Hongping, chairman of the China Federation of textile industry, interviewed reporters on the purpose and preparation of the 2013 China International Cotton Textile Conference and China International Textile raw materials market conference.

Gao Yong pointed out that in 2012, the fiber processing capacity of China's textile industry was about about 45000000 tons, accounting for more than 50% of the world's fiber processing volume, of which natural fiber was about 10 million tons, and chemical fiber production had reached 37 million tons. However, the shortage of raw materials has long been a problem, especially in recent years. China's cotton consumption accounts for about 40% of the world's total. However, influenced by many factors such as planting area, labor cost and production efficiency, cotton output per year is basically flat in China. To meet the development requirements of textile enterprises, millions of tons of cotton are imported from abroad every year.

But since 2011, the high price of cotton at home and abroad has seriously restricted the survival and development of China's textile enterprises, especially cotton textile enterprises. Meanwhile, the import of cotton yarn has also increased year by year. In 2012, China imported 1 million 530 thousand tons of cotton yarn and exported 450 thousand tons. Due to the influence of cotton flower materials, many enterprises increased the development and use of super cotton and non cotton fibers, and the chemical fiber staple in non cotton fibers was affected by the international crude oil prices, which has been depressed since the end of September 2011, and the trend is difficult to predict. The textile industry urgently needs to increase the scale of chemical fiber production to meet the growing demand of consumers. In this context, the convening of China's international textile raw material market will help enterprises grasp the supply and demand relationship of raw materials in the current market situation, make more efficient use of various textile materials, increase product development efforts, and develop new consumer markets.

Referring to the original intention of the China Textile Industry Federation to host the China International Textile raw materials market for the first time, Yang Shibin pointed out: "in the past, cotton, woolen, linen, silk and other raw materials conference was opened, leading to a lack of a clear understanding of the overall pattern of textile materials. The upcoming textile raw material market will be conducive to the overall grasp of the textile industry and the comprehensive balance of the industrial chain." Yang Shibin said: "Zhou Shaoxiong, chairman of the seven wolves industrial Limited by Share Ltd, attached importance to the supply chain and inventory view. I strongly agree with the example that supply chain is important because supply cycle has a low peak season, workers will generate job fluctuations, and employment fluctuations will have a huge impact on society. For enterprises, if the enterprises do not understand the situation of the entire raw material market, the situation will be very passive, and the survival and development of enterprises will be affected. Only when enterprises have a comprehensive grasp of the market situation of textile raw materials and scientifically manage the supply chain, can procurement, quotations and pricing be in a steady state, and there will be no ups and downs.

According to Yuan Hongping, during the meeting, experts in related fields such as industry, agriculture and finance related to textile short fiber raw materials, such as cotton and chemical fiber, will be invited to give a keynote speech on the current market situation and development trend of the textile industry, covering the demand for textile raw materials at home and abroad, the current situation of cotton planting at home and abroad, and the analysis of the influencing factors, and the analysis of cotton futures and PTA futures market situation at home and abroad. At the same time, cotton and non cotton fibers will be discussed in two major topics, including how to make good use of raw materials to achieve sustainable development of textile industry.
