Rising Cost Becomes The Competitive Weakness Of China's Textile And Garment Enterprises

< p > "after a batch of orders of" a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a >, we can not find a suitable factory order in Zhejiang province. There are many high-quality foreign trade factories in Zhejiang province. Now they are either specializing in domestic products or moving to Kampuchea, Vietnam and other places in the central and western regions. Recently, Zhang Yang, manager of Hangzhou Yueyang Industrial Co., Ltd. is very depressed. She often sighs with her peers. < /p >
< p > according to the customs statistics of Hangzhou, Vietnam's < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > a target= "_blank" href= "_blank", "clothing" and "yarn export" increased by 16.2% over the first half of this year. According to the findings of the Asian Footwear Association, Southeast Asian footwear industry has taken 30% of China's order since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008. < /p >
< p > Hangzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau data show that from 2010 to June 2013, the number of export footwear enterprises in our city decreased from 117 to 97, a total reduction of 20. < /p >
< p > < strong > mainland China < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > clothing import < /a > the main source of ASEAN countries is the most rapid, < /strong > /p >
< p > "now buy a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "> clothes < /a > made in China" much less. " Lin Jie is a loyal consumer of fast fashion clothes such as CK and GAP. She said she used to laugh at the clothes bought from these fast fashion brand stores, which are actually made in China, but from time to time, the "made in China" labels on these costumes are gradually decreasing. < /p >
< p > in recent years, the international a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > the clothing brand < /a > the industrial chain has been transferred to Southeast Asia, at the same time, the textile a href= "http://www.91se91.com" in mainland China has been promoted, and the garment enterprises "/a" have gone out to build factories in ASEAN. According to Customs Statistics in China, in the first half of this year, Uniqlo, GAP, ELAND and other fast fashion apparel brands and sportswear brands increased from ASEAN to 80% to 90%. Imports of H&M, ZARA and Adidas were relatively stable, with an increase of less than 20%. < /p >
< p > 1 to May this year, domestic imports of clothing from the global market were US $1 billion 800 million, an increase of 15.32% over the same period in 2012. Among them, imports from ASEAN amounted to 314 million US dollars, a significant increase of 34%, the growth rate is two times more than the average growth rate of global garment imports. The most important source of clothing imports in mainland China is the most rapid growth in imports from ASEAN countries. Apart from the influence of the Spring Festival in February, they maintained two digit growth in a single month, and the highest growth rate was 92% in a single month. < /p >
< p > < strong > the cost of the "bitter water Sutra" of the manager of the foreign trade garment factory has risen to a competitive weakness. < /strong > /p >
< p > Hangzhou dcsllc Industrial Co., Ltd. is a labor-intensive enterprise, mainly exporting "a" target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > brand clothing "/a" exports, mostly sold to Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia. < /p >
< p > "generally speaking, the current situation of garment export is not very good, it is internal and external troubles." Zhang manager of the company said that most of the garment processing enterprises in Hangzhou are doing domestic clothing because Hangzhou has a large number of Taobao clothing sales platforms based on Sijiqing's clothing market, and the price of domestic clothing is higher than that of export. < /p >
< p > "for example, a LEVI" S jeans will be sold for 30 dollars abroad, at least 1000 yuan in the country. " Zhang said that export orders are not very good in Hangzhou and even in Zhejiang Province, and many garment factories that sell abroad have to move their factories to the central region in order to save costs, such as Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, and even some of them have moved to Kampuchea. < /p >
In the past two years, the monthly average wage of employees in China's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com > > /a > is basically 500 dollars, while in Vietnam, Kampuchea and other places, the average monthly wage is 100 to 300 dollars, and some of them will be lower. Such a labor cost difference price has become a soft spot for Chinese clothing enterprises to compete internationally. < /p >
< p > < strong > new world manufacturing industry chain and supply chain are appearing < /strong > /p >
Jiang Xiangming, general manager of Fuyang Yiyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., which specializes in < a href= "http://www.91se91.com > > rain shoes < /a >, introduces that the market of Fuyang Yiyuan 90% is in Europe and 10% of the market is in China. Two years ago, the company embarked on a plan to carry out the ASEAN market, but with the inventory pressure of foreign orders in recent years, the plan was temporarily shelved. < /p >
< p > "our industry's" added value "is too weak. The "added value" in Jiang Xiangming's mouth refers to profit. Jiang Xiangming said labor costs are the main reason for the decrease in added value. "The cost of labor in our industry is going up by 5% every year. I understand that wages in China are 10 times higher than those in some ASEAN countries, and the gap is very large. Two years ago, Chiang learned that the average wage of the workers in Kampuchea was $45 per person, or 275 yuan per person, while the average wage of the workers in China was 3000 yuan / person. < /p >
< p > according to an annual survey conducted by the United Nations Conference on Trade and development in 2012, it has been pointed out that in the past decades, the world's manufacturing base moved from the United States and Europe to Japan, and then transferred to the "four Asian dragons", then transferred to the mainland of China, and now it is turning to Southeast Asia and South Asia. A new world manufacturing industry chain and supply chain, which are different from the past, are emerging. Indonesia and Thailand's rankings rose significantly in the ranking of the most popular host countries selected by multinational companies. The report holds that the relative competitiveness of ASEAN countries in manufacturing continues to grow as the wage costs and production costs of East Asian countries, especially China, continue to rise. < /p >
< p > < strong > expert opinion < /strong > /p >
< p > < strong > the relocation of enterprises is a phenomenon in the adjustment of economic structure < /strong > < /p >
< p > "in recent years, the phenomenon of" a href= "http://www.91se91.com > enterprise relocation" /a "is, on the one hand, the rational consideration of the enterprises themselves, on the other hand, it may be a phenomenon in our economic structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading process. Professor Yang Jianhua, director of the research center of Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, said. < /p >
According to Yang Jianhua P, under the background of global economic development, enterprises are facing the pressure of economic development, such as resource constraints, environmental pressures and rising costs. As an export-oriented economy province, Zhejiang has a huge impact. "The advantage of migration lies in allowing enterprises to have profit margins." < /p >
< p > "for our province, the relocation of enterprises will affect tax, employment and other issues." According to Yang Jianhua, the foreign trade situation of last year is not optimistic. Even though the foreign trade situation has picked up in the first half of this year, the overall economic situation has not come out of the crisis. < /p >
< p > at present, our province is carrying out structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading of enterprises, injecting more cultural and creative, high-tech value-added and structural more optimized industries, and adjusting and eliminating enterprises with great environmental impact. Yang Jianhua believes that under such economic adjustment background, some unsuitable enterprises need to be adjusted out, which is a phenomenon of economic adjustment. < /p >
At the same time, Yang Jianhua thinks that on the one hand, our province should continue to increase economic readjustment, transformation and upgrading, and on the other hand, we should firmly establish "solid enterprises", because the real enterprises are the foundation of economic development. P And this kind of "entity enterprise" is no longer a rough type enterprise that affects the environment, high resource consumption and high pollution. "We need healthy development of physical enterprises, and we need more high value-added enterprises, including service enterprises in Hangzhou. The more enterprises, the more solid foundation for development. Yang Jianhua said. < /p >
