China And Asia Textile Forum To Explore Regional Industrial Pfer And Positioning

China and Asia Textile Forum examine industrial regional positioning

Last year, our country

Total exports amounted to US $298 billion 420 million, an increase of 5.1% over the same period last year.

China's textile and clothing exports still rank first in the world, but export growth has slowed down and entered the middle and low speed growth stage.

In addition, China's market share in traditional markets such as the European Union, the United States and Japan is slowly declining.

According to the McKinsey survey, 72% of the world's brands intend to pfer some of the textile and apparel orders in China, while most of the destinations for pfer are ASEAN countries.

This is the information recently obtained by reporters from China and Asia Textile International Forum, which just concluded in 2015.

ASEAN manufacturing industry enters a period of rapid growth

ASEAN countries in recent years

The rapid development of the industry has attracted worldwide attention.

China's share of products in traditional markets in Europe, the US and Japan has decreased, while ASEAN's share in these major international markets has increased.

At the opening ceremony of the forum, Jiang Hui, President of the China Textiles Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, said that the labor cost of China has reached 2.5 to 5 times that of ASEAN countries, and the pfer is the trend of development in the future.

Facing the European and American markets, China's competition with ASEAN countries, especially Vietnam, remains fierce.

Julia Hughes, President of the American fashion industry association, said: "China is still the most important supplier of the textile and garment industry in the United States, but Vietnam's share in the US market continues to grow.

Since 2013, Vietnam has become the second largest in the United States.

Suppliers and fourth major fabric suppliers.

At the same time, competition from Burma can not be underestimated. Myint Soe, President of Burma Garment Manufacturers Association, said: "the scale of Burma's garment industry has increased 1 times in 3 years. Before Japan and Korea were the main export markets of Burma, Burma's market share in the EU also rose sharply in 2014."

Francesco MARCHI, director of the European textile and Apparel Federation, also said that not only Kampuchea, Bangladesh's export clothing to Europe is also gradually increasing.

Industrial pfer is an irreversible fact. For this reason, Ruan Wenjun, executive vice chairman of Vietnam cotton and Spinning Association, said so.

From Europe to Japan and to China, and now from China to Southeast Asian countries, this is changing along with the development of the times and the needs of the industry. The fluctuation of RMB exchange rate, the increase of labor costs and the pressure of environmental protection have prompted China to relocate the textile export business in the world and find new advantages.

Demand brings cooperation power

At the same time of competition, bilateral trade between China and ASEAN is also increasing.

Since the establishment of the China ASEAN Free Trade Area, China's export to ASEAN has been growing at an average annual rate of over 30%.

In 2013, ASEAN first surpassed Japan to become China's third largest trading partner. At present, ASEAN is China's largest yarn export market and the largest fabric export market.

What prompted the rapid growth of trade between China and ASEAN in the field of textiles? It can be said that this is closely related to the rise of ASEAN garment processing industry.

With ASEAN's growing share of global textile exports, ASEAN has generated enormous demand for yarn and fabrics.

And because of its incomplete industrial chain, many ASEAN countries can not be self-sufficient in textile materials, so they choose to import from China.

In the face of global market, Asian textile is a whole.

Ruan Wenjun said: "the global textile and apparel supply chain is gradually shifting to Asia. By 2030, Asia's total textile and clothing will account for more than 60% of the world's total."

Julia Hughes also said that 59% of the US textile industry benchmarks hoped to increase procurement volume from Asia as a whole.

When asked if European customers are more likely to purchase from China or ASEAN, Francesco MARCHI said: "Europe is the largest clothing consumer market in the world, with different levels of buyers.

They will choose the place of purchase according to their own needs.

Asia as a whole

It has a large share in the global market, and Asian countries are closely linked in the industrial chain. "

For Asian countries, cooperation is far more competitive than competition.

In this regard, Jiang said that each country has its own industrial characteristics, and that the relationship between China and ASEAN countries will become more complementary to each other and even to the global industry from competition to complementarity.

Chinese enterprises can make full use of the advantages of Southeast Asian countries to achieve win-win results by going out and making full use of the advantages of Southeast Asian countries.
