Asian Garment Industry Will Be Further Refined In 3 To 4 Years.

< p > at present, most of the world's < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing "/a" is produced in Asia.

The first reason is that clothing industry has little capital to start up; two, Asia has a large number of cheap labor force.

However, some experts pointed out that the economies of some Asian countries rely heavily on the garment industry, and that the prices of clothing exported to Europe and the United States are still low, and that Europe and the United States have more pricing power in the global supply chain.

Even within Asia, a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > the development of garment industry is showing more and more intense competition.

In the next 3 to 4 years, the Asian market will be further broken down: China, Thailand and Vietnam mainly produce high-end multi-functional garments, while Bangladesh, Laos, Burma and Kampuchea mainly produce low-end clothing.

According to the data provided by the Vietnam textile and Apparel Association, Vietnam's clothing exports increased by 32% from 2005 to 2011, while China's growth in the same period was 15%, while that of India, Turkey, Malaysia and Thailand increased by 7%.

In addition, data from the Thailand Garment Manufacturers Association show that China's apparel exports account for 35% of the world's clothing exports.

Followed by Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and other countries, these countries accounted for 16% to 18% of the world's clothing export market share.

The share of Southeast Asian countries is 10% to 12%, of which Vietnam is 4%, Indonesia is 3%, Kampuchea is 2% to 3%, and Thailand is 1.8%.

< /p >

< p > textile and garment industries are related to the national economy and livelihood of many Asian countries.

Lu Qijian, Secretary General of Kampuchea Garment Manufacturers Association, told this reporter that at present, Kampuchea's clothing and textile exports account for more than 80% of the total export volume of the country, and its contribution to GDP is 15% to 18%.

The report released by the Ministry of Commerce of Kampuchea in January showed that in 2012, the total export of clothing and textiles in Kampuchea amounted to 4 billion 600 million US dollars.

According to Bangladesh clothing manufacturers and Exporters Association, the export earnings of garment industry account for about 78% of the annual foreign exchange earnings in Bangladesh.

< p > "the clothing industry starts with little capital, so long as there is sewing machine, it can start to work.

More importantly, Asia has abundant labor resources. "

Utana Simpsonvi, executive director of Thailand Garment Manufacturers Association, told our reporter.

< /p >

< p > < strong > industry development suffers short board restriction < /strong > < /p >

< p > low labour force is one of the traditional advantages of Asian textile and garment industry.

This is more evident in Southeast Asian and South Asian countries.

At present, the monthly wage of the garment workers in Bangladesh is less than 40 US dollars. The minimum wage of the workers in Kampuchea clothing and system < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a > is US $80, and the lowest wage in Malaysia is 900 ringgit (about 283 US dollars).

< /p >

< p > it is the huge profit margins of the Asian garment manufacturing industry that many investors in many Asian countries have entered the Asian garment industry.

However, in recent years, foreign enterprises have come to Kampuchea and found that recruiting employees is more difficult than leasing factories.

The advertising version of Kampuchea newspapers is almost all the recruitment notices of garment enterprises, and Thailand garment industry also has a "labor shortage".

It is predicted that Vietnamese enterprises will also encounter "recruitment difficulties" in 3 years.

< /p >

Accordingly, the cost of labor in many Asian countries has been rising. P

U Tana told this reporter that Vietnam's minimum wage has risen 20% this year, and Indonesia and Laos have increased by 20% to 22%.

Kampuchea's per capita monthly salary increased from $50 in 2008 to $80, accounting for food, pportation and social security costs. The monthly salary of each worker is actually close to $100.

Songsa Sysupan, the chairman of the Thailand Federation of national textile industry, told the reporter that as the Thailand government implemented the policy of minimum daily wage of 300 baht (US $10), there are already 6 Thailand garment and textile enterprises pferring their factories to Laos.

Nevertheless, the overall wage level of Asian textile and garment workers is relatively low.

< /p >

< p > there are many difficult to overcome shortcomings in the textile and garment industries of some countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

First of all, lower labour productivity makes investors feel headache.

Secondly, some enterprises, especially infants and young children's manufacturing enterprises, are facing greater pressure on product quality.

In addition, raw materials and accessories are heavily dependent on imports, making it difficult to increase the net added value of the garment industry in Southeast Asia.

< /p >

< p > many experts expressed concern about the development of the textile and garment industry in Asia.

Some people worry that Kampuchea and Bangladesh depend heavily on the garment industry, and the industrial chain of clothing and textile industry is unbalanced.

Bondi Ponsalaganavi, general manager of Thailand Shunhe Textile Co., Ltd. told our reporter that at present, only Thailand's clothing and textile industry can carry out production in all parts of the upper and lower reaches.

Countries such as Kampuchea and Bangladesh lack the raw materials needed to develop other industries, and can only engage in the garment industry. Foreign investors are also lack of motivation to develop other industries in these countries.

In addition, many scholars pointed out that clothing prices of Asian countries exported to Europe and the United States are still low.

Bondi told our reporter that this is because the global textile industry is still a buyer's market in general, and the European and American countries have strong purchasing power and have more pricing power in the global supply chain.

< p > < strong > industrial structure optimization and upgrading is the key to < /strong > < /p >.

< p > even within Asia, the development of textile and garment industry is showing more and more intense competition.

< /p >

< p > Vietnam media reported that the self-sufficiency rate of fabrics needed by Vietnam's garment export processing industry is only 11.8%, and most of them are ordinary fabrics, and most of the middle and high grade fabrics still rely on imports.

According to the report issued by the Ministry of Commerce early this year, in 2012, the total imports of clothing and textiles from Kampuchea amounted to US $3 billion 120 million, mainly from the mainland, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and South Korea, which were imported from Kampuchea.

Analysts believe that Vietnam and other countries demand for fabric and accessories will provide opportunities for China's textile and garment industry.

< /p >

< p > compared with China's clothing industry, the labor force in Southeast Asia and South Asian countries has more price advantages.

Therefore, some low-end garment manufacturing industries in China are turning to Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Lu noted that "China's low value-added garment industry, which has lost to other countries, accounts for only about 1/3, and the sophisticated high-end garment industry remains in China.

China has absolute advantages in terms of technology, machinery manufacturing and labor technology. "< /p >

"P >" I believe that in the next 3 to 4 years, there will be a clearer market segmentation in Asia.

Thailand, Vietnam and China mainly produce high-end multi-functional garments, while Bangladesh, Laos, Burma and Kampuchea mainly produce low-end clothing.

< /p >

Yang Mu, a senior researcher at the Institute of East Asian Studies of National University of Singapore, and many experts interviewed told reporters that Southeast Asian countries must make adjustments to the existing industrial planning of clothing industry and promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. Otherwise, "the low labor cost advantage has weakened and the level of technology has not been improved, so the garment industry may become an insurmountable bottleneck". P
