Foshan: The Development Of Textile And Garment Industry Is Facing Great Pressure.

< p > Foshan is the third largest city in Guangdong province and one of the four famous towns in ancient China.

Foshan is located in the central and southern part of Guangdong province of China. It is located in the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta, east of Guangzhou and South Hong Kong and Macao.

As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, handicraft industry, commerce and culture in Foshan were flourishing.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was developed into a south of the Five Ridges town with merchants gathered and developed by industry and commerce. However, a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > strong > textile < /strong > /a > also became one of Foshan's pillar industries at that time.

Farewell to the glory of history, the development pressure of Foshan textile < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > strong > clothing < /strong > /a is not small at present.

< /p >

< p > for most textile enterprises in Foshan, last year was only "late autumn", and this year's market is the real "cold winter".

Last Friday, the Foshan Textile Industry Association released the data of the first May of this year at the annual meeting, indicating that the overall situation and export growth have been on the rise. But the enterprises sigh still under great pressure and are not optimistic about the general forecast in the second half of the year.

< /p >

< p > data from the Foshan Textile Industry Association show that in the first half of this year, from 1 to May, the total industrial output value of the textile enterprises in the whole city was smaller than that of a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > strong > clothing > /strong > /a > the total industrial output value reached 39 billion 202 million yuan, up 17.2% over the same period last year, which is higher than that of the whole city, 12.7% higher than that of the whole city.

On the export side, it was obviously affected by the economic situation in Europe and the United States last year. Negative growth occurred in the first quarter, while exports in May of this year showed a year-on-year increase of 8.488%.

< /p >

< p > however, the recovery of output value can not make enterprises feel that the "cold current" has receded.

Wu Haoliang, President of Foshan textile and garment industry association, bluntly said, "this year is really the most difficult year."

Problems such as price inversion at home and abroad, rising labor costs and so on are still plaguing most of the Buddhist textile enterprises.

Based on the current situation, many people interviewed by the industry said that the second half of the market is not optimistic, the local underwear group president He Bingxiang told reporters that the market is difficult to change in the short term, the industry will usher in a more brutal round of shuffle.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that China's cotton throwing or storage will continue at the end of July at the end of the national dumping and storage. Up to July 4th, the total number of throwing and storing cotton was 2 million 699 thousand and 200 tons, and the turnover ratio remained at about 30%. The proportion of imported cotton was much higher than that of domestic cotton.

Among them, 2 million 186 thousand and 300 tons of cotton made in China, and 512 thousand and 900 tons of imported cotton (including 80 thousand and 500 tons in 2005, 31 thousand and 400 tons in 2009 and 401 thousand tons in 2011 years).

In short, as far as raw materials are concerned, the situation facing Foshan's textile and garment industry is still uncertain, and it is still not optimistic.

< /p >

< p > besides the rising price of raw materials, the lack of money in small and medium-sized enterprises and the real economy has been a long-term predicament of Foshan's textile and garment industry.

As export orders for exports decreased at the beginning of the year, some textile enterprises in Foshan began to reduce their production capacity, and the demand for financing decreased naturally.

This situation is more common in ceramics, machinery, plastics, hardware and other industries.

The government said that the manufacturing industry's multi financing entity returned to Foshan. In the first quarter of this year, the growth rate of G D P in the city was 9.2%, though it was better than the same period last year, but the entrepreneurs' confidence in the future market is not optimistic.
