Textile And Clothing Industry Needs To Strengthen R & D Design And Enhance Profit Margins.

< p > according to statistics of China Textile Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, in January 2014, China's textile and apparel exports reached 28 billion 620 million US dollars, a record high, an increase of 16% over the same period last year, and it is estimated that the export growth of Chinese textile industry will reach 10% in 2014.

< p > but many textile "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > clothing enterprise < /a > indicates that although export data are getting warmer, the export profits of garment enterprises are declining.

In the past, the profit of OEM reached at least 15% of the processing fee, but now it has been reduced to less than 10%.

Qu Lunchuan, President of the Yuzhong Association of Yu faction clothing association, said that there were twenty or thirty enterprises in the association in the previous year, but last year they had been reduced to seven or eight.

< p > on the one hand, profits have declined, and on the other hand, it has also been confronted with the market competition of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "> textile industry < /a >, and with the pfer of foreign orders to Turkey and Southeast Asian countries.

According to statistics, Turkey exported $17 billion 300 million worth of clothing to 203 countries and regions in 2013, an increase of 8.3% over the 2012 figure of 16 billion 300 million dollars.

Last year alone, socks exports amounted to 1 billion 400 million pairs, with a total value of US $1 billion 100 million, an increase of 10.5% over the 1 billion 200 million double in 2012.

Many textile and garment enterprises reluctantly indicated that they would pick up orders from Europe and the United States at the very beginning, but as countries such as Turkey lowered their prices, they began to take orders from Russia and Hongkong.

< /p >

< p > over the past two years, some international orders have gradually shifted to Turkey and Southeast Asia.

For instance, Adidas and Nike have gradually closed some factories in China, pferring their capacity to Vietnam, Burma and other places, and even domestic enterprises have begun to shift. For instance, since the second half of 2010, customers have pferred some of their clothing capacity to Bangladesh.

< p > < < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > Turkey > /a > clothing export EU as an example, there are advantages such as preferential tax, low cost of raw materials and manpower, and mature industrial chain.

If Turkey is close to Europe and its freight is low, it can enjoy preferential tax treatment and even tax exemption from EU countries. In recent years, some large enterprises have become a holding company, which can produce from the fiber production to the final product, forming a very strong and complete industrial chain, and the price of its products has strong competitiveness.

At present, the EU market has become a strong opponent of China's clothing exports.

< /p >

< p > China's textile and garment industry's "low cost" advantage is gradually disappearing.

In addition, domestic enterprises are faced with problems such as widespread foundry and inadequate brand.

At the same time, we need to consider the influence of garment cost and competitiveness, besides the manpower cost, we should also consider the supply chain, production time and style.

The more low-end products, the greater the impact of fluctuations in labor costs, so clothing enterprises need to further enhance the independent clothing brand research and development, design, production level, from OEM (foundry production) to ODM (original design manufacturer) to pform, thereby enhancing profit margins.
