"In the first quarter, the efficiency of Hebei textile industry was significantly improved, and initial results were achieved in turning losses into profits." At the press conference on the operating characteristics and forecast and early warning information of Hebei key industries in the first quarter organized by Hebei Federation of Industry and Economy, experts from Hebei Textile and Clothing Industry Association said that the main business income of the textile industry in the first quarter was 39.653 billion yuan, up 22.97% year on year, The growth rate dropped 2.38 percentage points compared with that of the previous year, and the rate of decline dropped 17.48 percentage points compared with that at the end of 2012. The growth rate of the whole industry's benefit was steadily rising. The number of loss making enterprises in the textile industry was 111, 13 fewer than 124 in the same period last year, and the loss making area was 10.48% lower; The total loss of loss making enterprises was 200 million yuan, down 25.2% year on year, and initial results were achieved in turning losses into gains.

　　 Export maintained a good growth trend

In the first quarter, Hebei Province's total export of textiles and clothing reached 1.082 billion US dollars, up 17.36% year on year, 20.9 percentage points higher than that of last year. Among them, textile exports reached US $384 million, up 5.26% year on year, and clothing exports reached US $698 million, up 25.29% year on year. Private enterprises are the main export force and have increased significantly. In the first quarter, private enterprises in Hebei Province, including collectives, private enterprises, and self-employed businesses, exported a total of 550 million dollars of clothing, an increase of 43.7% year on year, accounting for 79% of the total export value. At the same time, exports of state-owned enterprises increased year on year, while exports of foreign-invested enterprises declined slightly.

According to the statistics provided by Shijiazhuang Customs, Hebei clothing was exported to 123 countries and regions in the world in the first quarter, among which Russia, the European Union and the United States were the top three export markets. In addition, Hebei's clothing exports to the Middle East (17 countries) and Ukraine also increased.

The export products are mainly textile garments and fur garments. In the first quarter, Hebei Province exported 370 million dollars of clothing made of fabric, a year-on-year increase of 41.3%; The export of furs and garments reached 110 million US dollars, up 52.7% year on year. Together, they accounted for 69% of the total export value.

　 Macro trend determines textile export market

The signs of export recovery in the textile industry have undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm to the textile industry after a long winter. The reason for the recovery is, on the one hand, that the international macroeconomic trend has gradually recovered, and the market demand has increased; On the other hand, the export volume fell to the bottom at the end of last year, with a small base, laying the groundwork for the high growth of textile exports in the first quarter.

It can be seen from the customs data that this is undoubtedly a good start for the textile industry this year, and it has also played a role in boosting the industry. But on the whole, it will take a long time for the textile industry to really recover. Last year, it was predicted that the textile market would improve by the end of the first quarter of this year. It seems that this market is ahead of schedule, but from the perspective of raw materials, the textile industry is still in a period of slow adjustment, especially in terms of exports. Obviously, good data gave confidence, but exports may not really recover.

　　 Labor costs continue to rise

As a traditional labor-intensive industry, the export competitiveness of the textile industry began to decline, and some orders from many countries began to shift to South Asia and Southeast Asia. With the increase of the cost of domestic production factors, especially the rise of labor costs, the export pressure is still great. In view of the layout of the domestic textile industry, we also feel that while the industry is moving from large and medium-sized cities to industrial clusters, the employment problem is also highlighted. The employment cost of industrial clusters is no less than that of large and medium-sized cities, which may be higher in some aspects, Nearly 70% of enterprises believe that the increase in labor costs is the primary reason for affecting their benefits.

　　 Simultaneous growth of production efficiency in the pharmaceutical industry

The main business income was 19.195 billion yuan, up 20.8% year on year, and the total profit was 1.096 billion yuan, up 29.3% year on year; The total profit and tax reached 1.683 billion yuan, up 16.76% year on year.

　　 Building materials enterprises generally stop production

According to the latest survey from Hebei Construction Materials Industry Association, the first quarter is the off-season of the building materials industry. Due to the cold weather and the Spring Festival, construction construction is reduced, the demand for building materials products is weakened, and building materials enterprises generally stop production. From January to March this year, the production and sales of building materials industry in Hebei Province grew at a low speed, and the economic benefits declined significantly. Among them, the cement price fluctuated at a low level and the industry suffered serious losses; The price of flat glass is generally stable, and the economic benefit is better than that of the same period last year; The production and marketing of the ceramic industry were basically normal, and the economic benefits maintained steady growth.
