People In The Industry Are Testing China's Textile And Garment Industry: Pressure Is Not Present.

In the field of international textile and clothing, we are both competitors and partners. I hope we are here. international market The road of cooperation goes further and better. China textile Cao Jiachang, President of import and Export Chamber of Commerce, in the third Canadian apparel textiles Purchasing Exhibition This is what I said.

In August 22nd, the third session lasted for three days. Canadian apparel and textile exhibition The curtain fell on the Toronto International Centre. More than 370 enterprises from over 20 countries and regions from China, Canada, India, Bangladesh, Ukraine and Pakistan attended the exhibition.

Turning to the current Sino US trade friction, as a representative of this exhibition organizer, Cao Jiachang told reporters that the United States is also the largest single country market in China's textile and garment industry. The market changes have brought uncertainty and may cause pressure on enterprises.

"But the pressure is always there, not just now." Cao Jiachang said that with the development of China's domestic economy, the rising cost of labor, the rising cost of production factors and the stringent requirements for environmental protection have brought some pressure to the textile and garment enterprises. As a traditional industry, textile and garment industry will inevitably encounter more challenges in the process of transformation and upgrading.

Zhu Xianrong, President of Zhejiang textile import and Export Group Co., Ltd., said that textile and garment industry has been shifting to Southeast Asia in recent years. Trade frictions may accelerate this trend, resulting in the acceleration of order shifting. He believes that enterprises need to further expand the international market, including Canada, while speeding up the layout and cooperation in Southeast Asia.

"Our flexible supply capability is relatively strong," Zhu Xianrong said. Through this exhibition, we can produce more direct and in-depth docking with local distributors, grasp the characteristics of the Canadian market, understand the local fashion trends, and launch products with higher hit rates.

Many cashmere clothing enterprises in Inner Mongolia also took part in the exhibition. Feng Baogang, Secretary General of the Inner Mongolia import and export enterprises association, said that Canada has a large number of people, and the cost of logistics and labor is relatively high. However, the recognition of the cashmere products is gradually deepened by the influence of the US market. This exhibition is to take into account the possibility of market growth here.

Shen Yijun, executive deputy general manager of the cross border trade operation center of Changshu garment city from Jiangsu, said that this year, a number of enterprises with positive intentions have been organized to participate in the exhibition. The main purpose is to open up awareness and display product advantages in overseas markets, and at the same time, push enterprises to transform some inherent ideas in the past period of domestic trade.

Cao Jiachang said that textile and clothing exports played an important role in the process of China's reform and opening up. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the total number of Chinese textile and garment exports has been increasing. But he admits that the share of China's textile and apparel in the global market has declined in the past two years. In 2015, China's textile and garment exports accounted for 38.5% of the world's total share. In 2016, the proportion dropped to 36.7%.

"I personally believe that the share of China's textile and apparel industry may continue to decline," Cao Jiachang said. "This is not what I want to see as president of the chamber of Commerce, but it must also accept this reality." But he stressed that this is a decline in the adjustment process of the Chinese government and the textile and garment enterprises themselves in promoting the "upgrading of quality and efficiency", improving the export structure and promoting the innovation driven development of enterprises. Global buyers' orders have gradually shifted to strategic changes in Southeast Asia and Africa, and have also had an impact on China's textile and garment enterprises.

Cao Jiachang said that China is still the world's largest producer and exporter of textile and clothing. But he hopes that through more global cooperation, China's textile and garment production capacity can be transferred to provide textile and apparel services to the whole world. He believed that under the promotion of the Chinese government's "high quality development" strategy, the textile industry should be promoted. Clothing industry It can provide better products and services to the global consumer goods market.

Apart from Canada, the China Textile Import and export association also hosts the international sourcing Exhibition on clothing and textiles in Australia, the United States and Burma. Cao Jiachang said that such a platform is designed to better promote China's high-quality products to the international market, and attract global peers to participate in the wider realization of international interests sharing.

The preliminary feedback information of the organizers showed that the first two days of the Canadian apparel and textile procurement exhibition were over two, and the number of key customers from some famous department stores and clothing brands increased significantly.
