Declining Competitiveness Of China'S Textile Industry In The International Market

< p > China < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > Gao Yong, Secretary General of the Federation of industry 4, said that China's textile industry's competitiveness in the international market has declined due to the constraints of raw materials and labor costs.

In the first quarter of this year, China's textiles < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > accounted for 1.04 percentage points of the European import market share in the same period.

< /p >

< p > Gao Yong made the above remarks at the 2013 China International Textile raw material Market Conference held on 4.

China Textile Federation data show that from 1 to April this year, China's textile and clothing exports amounted to US $82 billion 535 million, an increase of 16.24% over the same period last year, and the growth rate was 15.17 percentage points faster than the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > "the growth of exports is largely driven by prices, and China's share of the world's major markets is declining."

Gao Yong said.

< /p >

< p > 1 to April, the export price of textiles increased by 5.15%.

From the EU, Japan and other major export markets, China accounted for 37.51% of the EU's import market in the first quarter, down 1.04 percentage points from the same period last year.

It accounts for 69.74% of Japan, down 2.28 percentage points from the same period last year.

< p > "raw material is a fundamental problem affecting the development of textile industry."

Zhu Hongren, chief engineer of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said that China's temporary cotton purchase and storage policy ensured the interests of cotton farmers and stabilized the domestic cotton prices. However, the spread of cotton prices at home and abroad has greatly affected the competitiveness of the textile industry.

In particular, small and medium sized enterprises, mainly cotton spinning, face particularly outstanding survival difficulties.

< /p >

< p > Wang Tiankai, President of China Textile Union, said that the difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices is less than 2000 yuan per ton, which can be hedged through technological progress and variety development.

When cotton price spreads to 4000 yuan or more per ton, it is difficult to make up for it in other ways.

< /p >

Experts at the meeting suggested that the state should promptly adjust and introduce relevant policies, speed up the reform of the cotton circulation system, improve the macro control mechanism of cotton, and achieve the docking of the domestic and foreign cotton prices in P.

But at the same time, the industry itself should enhance the added value and competitiveness of the industry by enhancing labor productivity, accelerating pformation and upgrading, and saving energy and reducing emissions.
