Southeast Asian Textile Industry Has Also Experienced Collapse.

Since 2015, news about the closure and closure of textile factories in Southeast Asian countries has been heard and the scope is expanding.

This network is hereby arranged to provide reference for you.

At present, there are 15 million industrial workers in Pakistan's textile industry.

Due to the high operating costs, especially the high price of electricity and gas, 30% spinning mills have closed down, and about 110 factories have been closed down.

In October 14, 2015, the whole of Pakistan.

Companies shut down factories to protest against growing business costs.

Data show that in November 2015, Pakistan

Textile and apparel $961 million, a year-on-year decrease of 14.77%, a decrease of 8.54% in the ring ratio, 37 thousand and 200 tons in export cotton yarn, a decrease of 45.82% over the same period last year, a decrease of 31.97% in the ring, and 115 million square meters in export cotton, an increase of 1.45% over the same period, a decrease of 20.04% in the ring.

In 2015/16 (2015.7-2015.11) Pakistan, the total export of textile and clothing in Pakistan was $5 billion 242 million, a year-on-year decrease of 9.29%, 255 thousand and 300 tons of cotton yarn for export, 12.87% in the same period, 664 million meters for export cotton cloth, and an increase of 10.27% over the same period.

It is understood that the two additivity of Pakistan electricity tariff and the natural gas infrastructure development tax (GIDC) imposed by the government has increased the operating cost of textile enterprises by 170 billion rupees annually.

At present, the price of Pakistan textile mill is 15 U. S., Southeast Asia, which is nearly 2 times the 8-9 cent of the neighboring countries.

In the case of the EU's super GSP treatment, Pakistan's textile exports still declined, while the main competitors India textile industry received 66 billion dollars in investment and 10% in subsidies.

Clothing exports accounted for half of Pakistan's textile exports, which could have been increased by at least 20% because of the GSP. However, it was growing weakly by domestic factors.

The Ba Textile Industry Association believes that the decline in the share of textiles in Pakistan is mainly due to the lack of government support.

At present, various countries have supportive policies for the textile industry. The developed countries impose higher import tariffs on textiles to protect domestic practitioners, and the average tariff of textiles is 3 times that of other commodities. Besides developing higher import tariffs, developing countries also have various incentive policies and facilitation measures.

After the abolition of textile import quotas in 2005, Pakistan has been considered by many British and American academic institutions to play a favorable role in export, but it has been surpassed by other competitors.

Since 2001, Pakistan's share in the textile market has dropped from 2.2% to 1.66%.

In contrast, India's market share increased from 3.2% to 7.5%, and Bangladesh also increased from 4% of the Palestinian share to 2.5 times of the current Palestinian share.

Pakistan's relative low position in the textile industry has gradually declined.

Kampuchea -- close to 150 garment factories and shoe factories

According to the Ministry of Commerce of Kampuchea, the workers' strike campaign recently occurred in the clothing industry of Kampuchea, requiring enterprises to raise the minimum wage standard.

Since 2015, nearly 150 garment factories and shoe factories in Kampuchea have been closed, including more than 50 newly opened factories.

According to the report, there are 982 garment factories registered in the Ministry of Commerce and 90 shoe factories.

Among them, a total of 130 garment factories and 14 footwear factories were closed in 2015.

There are 53 new garment factories and 5 shoe factories.

The Ministry of Commerce and import and export of Kampuchea said that although the factory closes more in 2015, the market situation will be better in 2016, as some world-renowned brands are increasing the volume of purchases from Kampuchea.

From the trade data, the export volume of clothing and footwear in Kampuchea in 2015 has increased fairly fast compared with last year.

However, the strike has affected the enthusiasm of foreign investment in Kampuchea. Some foreign-funded enterprises are preparing to close their production capacity and pfer their production base to Burma or Africa, where wages are lower.

Some enterprises are ready to pfer to Vietnam, because Vietnam has signed the TPP agreement, once the agreement comes into effect, it will be exported to other TPP countries duty-free.

Kampuchea is not a member of TPP and can not enjoy duty-free concessions, so garment manufacturers are worried that their export competitiveness will be greatly weakened.

Kampuchea Garment Manufacturers Association said that some clothing and footwear enterprises have been shut down, and because of continuous demonstrations by workers, they have lost confidence in investing in Kampuchea.

Textiles and clothing are the main export products of the country.

The official believes that frequent strikes have seriously affected Kampuchea's investment environment and export market.

Indonesia - currency devaluation has led to the collapse of over 100 textile mills.

According to Indonesian media, more than 100 textile factories in Indonesia are facing losses due to losses. At present, 36 thousand employees are facing unemployment, and most of the factories that are threatened by failure are domestic enterprises.

Indonesia's raw materials depend on imports. Imports in the textile industry are as high as 8 billion 500 million US dollars. The Indonesia rupee's sharp depreciation of the US dollar has led to a huge increase in import costs, and the textile industry has taken the lead.

Since the beginning of 2015, Indonesia's domestic textile and garment industry has been severely frustrated, and domestic sales of textiles have been blocked, and products in warehouses are piling up.

The Indonesian textile industry association said that the collapse of the Indonesian rupee caused 18 domestic textile factories in Indonesia to go bankrupt, half closed or suffered heavy losses.

Industry groups called on the government to cut industrial tariffs by 40% and restrict imports.
