Most of 2014

Trading volume declined.

Among them, the volume of new staple textile spindles decreased by 15% compared with the same period last year; the number of long spun spindles and spinning cups shipped by shipments increased by 70% and 2.6% respectively; the number of stretch deformed spindles that had been shipped increased by nearly 12%; the turnover of shuttle looms and new large circular machines decreased by 14% and 22% respectively, while that of flat knitting machines increased by 31%.

The above data come from the thirty-seventh issue of the annual volume statistics of international textile machinery, which has just been released by the International Federation of textile manufacturers (ITMF).

The report includes 6 types of textile machinery, namely

Stretch texturing machine, loom, large circular knitting machine, flat knitting machine and finishing machine.

The 2014 statistics are the result of cooperation with 110 home textile machinery manufacturers, representing a comprehensive assessment of global output.

Spinning machinery

In 2014, the volume of new staple spinning machine decreased by 15% compared with the same period last year, a 10% increase against 2013.

The number of staple spindles dropped to 9 million 800 thousand spindles, the lowest level since 2009, and also below the 10 year average of 1 090 million spindles.

Most (91%) of new textile ingots sold to Asia, down by about 17% compared with the same period last year, and China, the world's largest staple textile machine buyer, dropped by nearly 29%.

4 of the world's top 5 importers of staple textile machines come from Asia: China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia.

In 2014, exports to Turkey, the world's fourth largest staple textile machine importer, increased by 5%, a 3 consecutive annual increase.

The global trading volume of long staple (Yang Mao) spindles increased from 80 thousand and 800 in 2013 to 137 thousand and 650 in 2014, or 70%.

This is the biggest increase since 2012.

Most (69%) of long fiber spindles are sold to Europe, of which 67 thousand are sold to Turkey, accounting for 49% of the world's total exports, while Belarus and Italy are ranked 2 and third respectively, importing 21 thousand and 216 ingot and 1.058 4 million spindles.

In 2014, a total of 29 thousand spindles were sold in Asia, with a slight increase of 0.2%, while in North America and South America, the amount of long staple spinning was zero, while Africa imported 432.

2014

Trading volume increased slightly by 2.6% after two consecutive years of decline.

The total paction volume reached 454 thousand and 700 spindles, the highest level since 2011, far higher than the long-term average of 402 thousand and 700 spindles.

About 67% of global trading volume is sold to Asia, despite the slowdown in the region.

After falling by 13.9% and 11.9% in 2013 and 2012 respectively, in 2014, it continued to slide 13%.

Meanwhile, the volume of pactions in South America dropped by 9.3%.

On the contrary, the volume of pactions in Europe and North America has increased by nearly 27% and 402% respectively.

Bomb adding machine

The volume of the global single heater stretch deformation spindle (mainly for nylon filament) increased from 2600 in 2013 to 4 576 in 2014, up 76%.

About 57% of these spindles are sold to Asia, followed by Western Europe and South America, accounting for 20% and 15% respectively.

The volume of the double heater stretching deformation spindle (mainly used for polyester filament) continues to decline.

Global trading volume was 443 thousand and 400 ingots, down 12% from the same period last year.

But compared with nearly 30% decline in 2013, the rate of decline has slowed down.

Asia accounts for about 88% of the world's trading volume, of which China accounts for 60%, the largest investor in the world.

loom

In 2014, the global shuttleless loom turnover dropped to 71667 units, a decline of 14%, which has declined for 3 consecutive years.

Among them, the volume of water jet looms decreased by 30% to 24220 units, the third decline since 2012.

The volume of air-jet looms has declined for the first time in 4 years, falling to 20 176, with a drop of 19%.

On the contrary, rapier / loom loom turnover increased from 23828 in 2013 to 27271 in 2014, the highest increase since 2006.

As in previous years, Asia is still the main destination of shuttleless looms, accounting for 97% of the world's total delivery volume.

The proportion of 3 Kun shuttleless looms is relatively average, of which 36% are loom looms, 35% for rapier / loom and 29% for air-jet looms.

In Europe and North America, the proportion of rapier loom and loom loom is 73% and 54% respectively, and the proportion of water jet looms is 7% and 11% respectively.

Circular knitting machine and flat knitting machine

The paction volume of the big round machine dropped from 36575 in 2013 to 28502 in 2014, a drop of 22%, the lowest level since 2009.

Asia is still a major investor in such products.

About 88% of all kinds of circular machines are exported to Asia, of which China is the largest buyer and 60% (about 17000 units) are sold to China.

India and Turkey ranked second and third respectively, buying 2464 and 1325 units respectively, accounting for 8.6% and 4.6% respectively.

For the electronic flat knitting industry, 2014 was a good year, with a global volume of 46100, an increase of 31% over the same period last year.

This is the first increase since 2011.

No surprise, Asia is still the largest buyer, accounting for more than 85% of the total delivery volume, of which China is the largest buyer, accounting for 42% of the total purchase of more than 19000 machines.

4 of the world's top 5 buyers of electronic flat knitting machines are from Asia.

The 4 buyers after China were Bangladesh (11312), Vietnam (1956), Turkey (1879) and India (1840).

Finishing machinery

The 2014 edition of the international textile machinery annual paction statistics includes data on finishing machinery, including machinery and knitted fabric continuous finishing machines, but ITMF has not disclosed the paction volume information of finishing machinery after 2014.
