< p > with the beginning of the international economic recovery, China's knitting industry has experienced a two digit growth trend in 2013 after experiencing the development of first and then lifting in 2012.

According to China Customs statistics, as of December 2013, the total export volume of < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > knitting industry < /a > amounted to US $109 billion 700 million, an increase of 12% over the same period in 2012, and for the first time, we achieved a breakthrough of 100 billion US dollars in exports.

< /p >

< p > Yang Shibin, President of the China Knitting Industry Association, said that in 2013, China's knitting industry is changing along the way to cope with changes in the international market and seek growth opportunities. The export market and product competitiveness are changing. At the same time, the two level differentiation pattern in the industry is aggravating, and the support role of large enterprises and characteristic clusters is obvious.

< /p >

< p > the export pattern is diversified.

From the data analysis, we found that China's a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > knitting industry < /a > exports to the EU, the United States and Japan maintained a small increase: exports of knitted fabrics to the European Union amounted to US $260 million, an increase of 17% over the same period last year, and exports to the US amounted to US $660 million, an increase of 15% over the same period last year, and exports to Japan amounted to US $8 billion 120 million, up 38% over the same period last year.

< /p >

At the same time, through data analysis, it is not difficult to find that the dependence of China's knitting industry exports on developed countries is decreasing, and exports are showing a diversified pattern. The growth rate of ASEAN and Central Asia is remarkable, and it has become a new growth point of knitting industry in 2013.

Among them, China Customs data show that as of December 2013, knitted fabrics exported to Vietnam amounted to US $1 billion 540 million, an increase of 36% over the same period last year, and exports to Kampuchea amounted to US $880 million, an increase of 36% over the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > large enterprises and distinctive clusters contribute significantly to the industry.

The growth of large enterprises in the industry plays a supporting role in industry growth.

Ningbo Shenzhou Knitting Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Dong Du Textile Group Co., Ltd., Qingdao syndicate Holdings Limited company, Shanghai Jilin Jie textile Limited by Share Ltd, Ann Li Fang (China) Clothing Co., Ltd., Quanzhou sea sky material Polytron Technologies Inc, Jiangsu AB group Limited by Share Ltd, Beijing copper cattle Group Co., Ltd., Changzhou Laoshi Group Co., Shanghai knitted nine factory and so on, a large number of leading enterprises as the dominant force in the industry development, the industry demonstration effect is obvious.

Among them, the annual sales volume of Ningbo Shenzhou and Qingdao has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and have won the title of "China's knitting industry leader".

< /p >

< p > the characteristic clusters and regional brand construction of the knitting industry have been gradually improved, and the superiority effect of scale is obvious.

A number of regional brand influences such as "Maqiao warp knitting", "plum Lee warp knitted", "Zaozhuang shirt", "Datang socks", "northeast socks industry", "salt step underwear" and "Zhangcha T-shirt" have been comprehensively promoted.

Jimo city of Shandong Province, Zhuji city of Zhejiang Province, Foshan city of Chancheng Province, Zhangcha street, Jiangsu Town, Jiangsu Town, Maqiao Town, Jiangsu Province, the town of Zhu Tong, the Qingshan Lake District of Shaoyang City, the county of Shaoyang City, the Central District of the city, the city of Li Zhen, the province of Shaoyang, the city of Shaoyang, the city of Shaoyang, the province of Shaoyang, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that Fujian Changle industrial cluster relies on the strong competitiveness of warp knitting products and related industrial chains. In 2013, its sales volume exceeded 100 billion yuan, and became the first industrial cluster in China's knitting industry to sell over 100 billion yuan.

< /p >

< p > knitted apparel investment increased by 42%.

Due to the warm demand in the international market and the continuous selling of knitted garments in the domestic market, the knitting industry has full confidence in investment and high enthusiasm for investment.

According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the number of fixed assets investment in the knitting industry above Designated Size reached two digit growth in 2013, and the actual investment was 86 billion 600 million yuan and the number of completed projects was 1597.

In particular, the knitted garment sector is more active, and the actual investment has been increased by 42%, and the number of new projects has increased by 15%.

< /p >

< p > knitted fabric is international level.

Through nearly 3 years of development, < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > knitted fabric > /a > weaving level has improved significantly, domestic independent R & D capability has been enhanced, especially focusing on environmental protection and functional upgrading, product competitiveness has been rapidly strengthened, and sales in the international market have increased steadily.

At the same time, the proportion of domestic knitted fabrics gradually increased in the international high-end brand clothing orders.

According to the data of China Customs, in 2013, the export volume of knitted fabrics increased and the import volume decreased. The export volume reached 9 billion 70 million meters, < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > exports < /a > the amount was 12 billion 910 million US dollars, the export unit price was 1.42 US dollars, compared with the import price of 1.55 US dollars, the difference was only 0.13 US dollars, it can be said that the production of knitted fabric in China has been able to shoulder the international level.

< /p >

< p > according to the International Monetary Fund, the global economic recovery will gradually strengthen in 2014, and the developed economies will become the main driving force of world economic growth again.

At the same time, with the deepening of domestic economic reform and structural optimization, China's economy will continue to grow steadily.

In the coming year, the favorable factors of the economy will continue to drive the overall development of the knitting industry. The upgrading of demand is expected to become the driving force for the growth of the industry. In the general trend of growth, the knitting industry will present the following characteristics: < /p >

< p > first, the price of raw materials still has a downward trend.

Affected by the high inventory level, the international cotton market in 2014 is still in a state of oversupply, and the price will show a downward trend overall.

The appreciation of the US dollar and the upward trend of interest rates are expected to promote the overall decline in international commodity prices. In addition, the possible release of production capacity is possible. The raw materials of chemical fiber are on a downward trend, so the price of the two major raw materials will also exist at the same time.

< /p >

< p > two, SMEs still face the pressure of survival.

According to statistics from the National Bureau of statistics on Enterprises above Designated Size in the knitting industry, the whole industry of knitting industry has increased rapidly, but at the same time, the amount of losses has increased year by year. The two level differentiation has become increasingly evident in the industry, so the possibility of structural changes is increasing.

In the future, in the development and adjustment of the industry, the small and medium enterprises that are in a competitive disadvantage will face greater pressure to survive.

< /p >

< p > three is the surge of electricity suppliers and more opportunities for knitted products.

In 2013, the rapid development of the electricity supplier industry, the emergence of mobile electricity providers, O2O mode, cross-border electricity providers, making the strategic layout of the future is becoming clearer, and the platform structure is becoming clearer.

County-level cities have brought new opportunities for the expansion of online shopping and the change of people's shopping methods.

In 2014, the expansion of e-commerce channels is bound to be even more rapid. The natural advantages of knitted products such as small items, parity, standardization and no need to try on will become a guarantee for the continuous growth of sales volume in this channel.

< /p >

< p > four is the simultaneous development of four pfer modes.

Due to the rapid growth of labor costs and environmental pressures, domestic textile processing tends to shift to lower labor cost elements, and the four pfer modes in the knitting industry are developing simultaneously.

From the domestic perspective, the knitting industry shows a dual pfer trend, that is, the pfer of coastal provinces to the central provinces and the pfer of the developed areas from the coastal provinces to the less developed areas.

From the international perspective, the two pfer modes from China to the Southeast Asian countries with cost advantages and to the developed countries with talent and brand as the key points are presented.

The former takes Vietnam, Kampuchea, Burma and India as the main objectives of the pnational pfer of the knitting industry. The latter is mainly manifested in the export of capital to the developed countries by the dominant enterprises in the industry, and with this opportunity to intensify international cooperation and make a useful attempt to enter the international market.
