The Textile And Garment Industry Is Experiencing A Dangerous Period In The Face Of Capacity Relocation.

As a new market force, the cost of labor in Southeast Asia is indeed greater than that in China. Liu Wei, deputy general manager of Suzhou Hengrun import and Export Co., said that the monthly salary of Kampuchea labor force started at around 120 dollars, while the Yangtze River Delta region was basically between 600 US dollars and 800 dollars. Wu Weiqing, sales manager of Fu Xi Textile Co. Ltd. said that even after considering overtime and other expenses, the monthly income of workers in Southeast Asia is around 220 dollars, which is still much lower than that in China. At present, the company has more than 200 domestic factories, and two overseas factories have more than 1000 people, forming a "upside down" situation.

But unlike external speculation, labor prices are not the main driving force for Chinese enterprises to develop factories overseas. Many enterprises told reporters that the lack of industrial support, the local hydropower infrastructure remained to be improved, and the number of workers' labor skills increased greatly. Take Hengrun as an example, overseas factories are mainly responsible for the final garments, all the fabrics and spare parts are transported from China, while the high-end products are still left at home. In Fu Xi, the production efficiency of domestic factories is about 2.5 times that of overseas factories, which almost completely disappears the labor cost advantages of individual workers.

"In our industry, it should not be used. Capacity transfer To look at overseas factories, because the fact is that Shanghai and domestic factories are not an alternative relationship, rather than a foreign country or a domestic one. Overseas factories are more new capacity and new channels for Chinese garment manufacturing, and they are more complementary to domestic capacity. " Liu Wei said.

In fact, for most textile and garment enterprises in China, the trade access threshold of developed countries such as Europe and the United States is the main reason to attract them to accelerate the pace of factory construction overseas. A number of domestic garment enterprises said that at present, Europe, North America and other parts of the market for some labor-intensive products in Southeast Asia, such as Clothing and shoes Such as the implementation of zero tariff policy, and the export of similar products to maintain more than 10% of import tax, which makes overseas buyers prefer to purchase from overseas factories of Chinese enterprises, thereby greatly reducing their own sales costs.

"This is more like a natural adjustment in the global market and a channel for transformation and upgrading of domestic enterprises. As a traditional industry, we are going through a climbing period. One of the elements of transformation is to achieve better market layout on a global scale. Liu Wei said.

　　 Liu Wei In the past few years, domestic enterprises are speeding up the shift of products to high-end products. The innovation of product capability and the leading level of technology are the fundamental guarantee for the co-existence of overseas factories and domestic enterprises. Wu Weiqing said that transferring and transferring production to the northwest and Northeast China is also an effective way. "After all, there is no need for the industry to break down, and only the enterprises that have been lost will continue to persist in the clothing industry."

Statistics show that in the first quarter of this year, China's clothing exports showed sharp fluctuations, down 12.5% in January, 99.4% in February, 35.4% in March, and 35 billion 790 million dollars in clothing exports in the whole quarter, a slight increase of 2% over the same period last year. Among them, the export growth rate to the EU is only 0.5%, but the export growth to ASEAN is as high as 13.5%.
