Economic operation analysis of linen textile industry in the first quarter

The overall economic situation of China's Hemp textile industry was good in the first quarter, especially the linen garments, which maintained a rapid growth trend. Structural adjustment of the import and export of hemp textiles came into being from primary products to end products. However, under the current complex and changeable market environment, China's linen textile industry will face many difficulties in its development.

The economic indicators of the industry steadily increase.

In the first quarter of 2014, the main business revenue of 300 Textile Enterprises above Designated Size reached 11 billion 27 million yuan, an increase of 6.55% over the same period last year, and realized a total profit of 556 million yuan, an increase of 13.06% over the same period last year. The total stock reached 5 billion 282 million yuan, up 8.01% over the same period last year. The profit margin was 5.04%, up 0.29 percentage points from 4.75% in the same period last year.

The major statistical products of linen textile are linen and ramie cloth. According to Statistics Bureau, linen and ramie Linen cloth Compared with last year, the production rate increased slightly. In terms of linen production, according to the production data of 59 flax enterprises tracked by the Statistics Bureau, in the first quarter of 2014, 59 large scale enterprises accumulated more linen (including flax or more than 55%), reaching 101 million meters, an increase of 0.91% over the same period last year, an increase compared with the same period last year. Among them, Jiangsu is still the largest producer of linen (including flax, 55% or more), accumulatively producing 43 million 510 thousand meters, accounting for about 43.36% of the national linen production, and the growth rate increased by 11.45% over the same period, larger than the 0.91% growth rate in the country, and the proportion in the latter part will still increase slightly. In the production of ramie cloth, 38 enterprises above Designated Size have produced ramie cloth (including ramie or more than 55%), reaching 83 million 750 thousand meters, an increase of 3.17% over the same period last year, an increase of 13 percentage points compared with the same period.

In the first quarter of this year, the textile industry completed an investment of 80 billion 771 million yuan, an increase of 16.42% over the same period, of which the total investment in the textile industry reached 1 billion 808 million yuan, up 15.36% over the same period last year. Meanwhile, the number of newly started projects and the number of construction projects in the textile and textile enterprises decreased by 7.32% and 25% respectively compared with the same period last year, and the rate of decline is slightly larger than that of the entire textile industry.

Steady progress in import and export market

In the first quarter of 2014, the total import and export volume of the national textile industry reached US $538 million, an increase of 7.63% over last year's US $499 million.

The overall situation of imports is good, and the price of raw materials has increased considerably. In the first quarter of 2014, the total import volume of the national textile industry reached US $193 million, an increase of 22.89% over the same period last year, of which the total import value of raw materials amounted to US $146 million, up 25.33% over the same period last year; the total import value of the yarn was 25 million 892 thousand and 200 US dollars, up 39.59% over the same period last year; the import volume of linen fabrics reached US $18 million 999 thousand, up 1.92% over the same period last year; the total import volume of the Ma products reached US $1 million 771 thousand and 200, down by 42.73% over the same period last year.

Hemp raw materials are the main import strength, and flax raw materials and jute raw materials are the main import strength. The total import value of flax raw materials reached 92 million 582 thousand and 100 US dollars, an increase of 36.44% over the same period last year, and the total import value of jute raw materials reached US $5 million 612 thousand and 900, down 38.46% from the same period last year.

Looking at the import situation of linen raw materials from 2013 to present, the import of flax raw materials fluctuated greatly. The demand for flax market increased in the first half of the year, but the demand for flax market would weaken in the second half of the year. Enterprises need to adjust the operation of enterprises in time according to the market situation. {page_break}

From 2013 to now, the quantity of jute raw materials has been declining overall, and the import quantity of jute yarns has been on the rise. The main reason for this situation is that the production equipment of jute enterprises is relatively old, while the quality of products is limited, the demand for labor is relatively large, which makes jute spinning enterprises lose the price competitiveness.

Structural readjustment in the export market. In the first quarter of 2014, the total export volume of the linen textile industry reached 349 million US dollars, up 0.63% from the same period last year. The total export volume of linen yarn reached US $65 million 958 thousand and 400, down 19.73% from the same period last year. The total export volume of linen fabrics reached US $216 million, up 1.92% over the same period last year. The cumulative export volume of the products reached 61 million 482 thousand and 900 US dollars, up 32.46% over the same period last year.

The export volume of linen fabrics accounts for 62.48% of the total export volume of linen textiles. At the same time, the export amount of ramie yarn showed a downward trend, while the export volume of Ma products was relatively positive, with a year-on-year growth rate of 32.46%. This shows that the export of primary products has declined a lot, and has been transformed into terminal products.

In terms of yarn export, linen yarn is the main export power of linen yarn, but jute yarn grows faster, and the export amount of linen yarn and ramie yarn decreases compared with the same period last year. The growth rate of linen yarn decreased by 10.25% and 52.22% respectively.

Linen fabrics and ramie fabrics are the main export driving force for the export of linen fabrics, but the growth of jute fabrics and hemp fabrics is faster, the growth of linen fabrics is slowing down, and the export amount of ramie fabrics is significantly lower than that of the same period last year.

Looking at the trend of linen yarn and ramie yarn from 2013 to now, the market demand of linen yarn and ramie yarn fluctuates greatly, and enterprises need to control market risks according to their own conditions. At the same time, the market demand for linen fabrics and ramie fabrics in the first half of the year is relatively stable, while the second half will increase.

　 Linen garments import and export market is good.

According to customs data, in the first quarter of 2014, the total import and export volume of linen garments in the whole country amounted to 6 billion 286 million US dollars, up 85.99% over the same period last year. Among them, China's total exports of linen garments amounted to US $6 billion 42 million, an increase of 86.16% over the same period last year. The total number of garments exported to China reached 898 million, an increase of 95.98% over the same period last year.

According to customs data, in the first quarter, the total imports of linen garments in China amounted to US $244 million, up 81.98% over the same period last year. The total number of imported garments reached 12 million 218 thousand and 100, up 127.16% over the same period last year.

The export situation of linen garments is good, which not only reflects the stability of the demand for linen garments in the external market, but also shows that the high value-added products have great potential to rise under the severe international situation.

A long way to go for development

It is easy to see from the economic operation that jute spinning enterprises have a difficult economic operation. A large part of the reason is that labor costs and equipment technology innovation are not enough. On linen and ramie enterprises, we can see some effects brought about by this situation. Under the complicated and changeable market environment, China's linen textile industry is facing many difficulties in its development. The main problems in the linen textile industry are as follows:

First, the raw material of flax is mainly dependent on imports. The price of raw materials has been rising since last year, which has increased the cost of products, the shortage of raw materials in enterprises, and increased the number of imported enterprises.

Two, the import price of jute raw materials is increasing, and the processing cost of enterprises is relatively high, leading to a large number of jute yarns imported by domestic enterprises, which makes serious impact on jute processing enterprises.

Three, the planting area of ramie raw materials has gradually shrunk and output has decreased, and the demand for ramie raw materials has been further expanded.
