Transformation And Upgrading Of Cotton Textile Industry

A few days ago, my colleagues wrapped up their clothes on the Internet, and several female colleagues gathered around to talk about the new clothes. I picked up my clothes and looked at the fiber composition of the tag. 98% polyester fiber and 2% spandex asked, "how are all the clothes made of chemical fiber"? Pure cotton The clothes that give people feel too childish.

From time to time, no matter what the shopping malls, online stores, winter wear, summer wear, tops or skirts, pure cotton clothes are becoming less and less, instead of all kinds of chemical fiber fabrics. I have to admit that the fabrics made of chemical fiber fabrics are light, soft, elegant and colorful, and the styles and styles of the designs are new and varied. Both the sweet Chiffon little floral skirt and the polyester polyester jacket with a clear figure can become a highlight of the girl's temperament. Especially with the development of textile technology, the technology of super simulation silk, super Imitation cotton and imitation hemp made the chemical fiber material appear to be the same as natural fiber and even superior in some aspects.

But does this mean that pure cotton clothes are not fashionable? I don't think so.

For a long time, pure cotton products have been favored by people for their superior comfort, sweat absorption and air permeability. They have always been the first choice for textiles. But nowadays, cotton textiles are becoming less and less in the market, which is inseparable from the upstream production of textile enterprises. In recent years, most cotton spinning enterprises are in the predicament of high cost of cotton raw materials, and the production of enterprises is at a profit or loss. In the face of this situation, many cotton spinning enterprises begin to reduce the amount of cotton and find non cotton substitute in chemical fiber. Official statistics show that the use of cotton in China has been declining, while the use of chemical fiber is on the rise. Duan Xiaoping, President of the China Chemical Fiber Association, analyzed the economic operation of the chemical fiber industry in 2012. He said that chemical fiber production is an important reason for the rapid growth stage. The huge gap between domestic and foreign cotton prices forced some cotton spinning enterprises to abandon cotton and choose chemical fiber.

Although the amount of cotton use is decreasing, the author finds that the quality of pure cotton products is upgrading to high-grade. In Taobao search, an ordinary chiffon dress costs about eight, ninety yuan, while a plain cotton cloth skirt costs more than 120 yuan. Similarly, a brand name menswear counter in a shopping mall can see that a man's pure cotton shirt costs about four yuan or five hundred yuan, while the same type of shirt with a very small quantity of cotton is priced at more than 200 yuan, and the price is half more than that of pure cotton.

Trace back to textile In the last two years, cotton textile enterprises in our country can see that the cotton textile enterprises in China are better than those who make conventional cotton yarn products. At present, domestic and foreign cotton prices are huge, and a large number of imported yarns are attacking the domestic cotton textile market. Most SMEs are overburdened with limited production, stop production or even go bankrupt. The cotton spinning enterprises that produce high-end products remain unchanged and laugh at the wind and cloud. The reason is that China's high count yarn textile technology is not available abroad.

The price of cotton raw materials is high, and the price of downstream cotton textiles is naturally high. For high-end consumers, the price is not a major factor when they choose to buy Textiles. As long as something is good and expensive, it does not matter, so pure cotton products naturally come closer to the high-end market. For the mass consumer group, the price is an important factor when choosing goods, especially for young people nowadays. As long as the fashion is fashionable and the material is not very important, the chemical fiber products are labeled as "fast fashion".

Pure cotton products are moving from spinning to finished products to high-end, and also our cotton textile industry. Transformation The inevitable result of upgrading.
