Textile And Garment Industry Urgently Needs To Release Innovation And Vitality

With the pace of reform and opening up, China's textile industry has achieved all-round and pioneering development.

At present, the structural changes in the internal and external situation and market are both textiles.

The challenge of development is also an opportunity for structural adjustment in the industry.

In the future, the development of the industry needs to strengthen the foundation and further release the vitality of innovation and development.

"40 years since reform and opening up,

The continuous promotion of total factor productivity and value-added products has formed the most complete industrial chain in the world, and the product structure is more diversified, achieving the leap from scale development to quality development.

Sun Ruizhe, President of the China Textile Industry Federation and President of the China clothing association, pointed out at the fourth fourth executive directors' enlarged meeting of the China Textile Industry Federation recently, especially since the eighteen Party of the Communist Party of China, the textile industry has taken the structural reform of supply side as the main line, and the overall ability of independent innovation, technology and equipment and product development have been greatly improved.

Data show that the total amount of fiber processing in China has increased from 2 million 760 thousand tons in 1978 (less than 10% of the world's total) to 54 million 300 thousand tons in 2017, an increase of 18.7 times.

In 1978, China's trade deficit amounted to US $1 billion 130 million, of which the trade surplus of textiles and clothing was US $1 billion 30 million.

Textiles in 2017

The trade surplus was 248 billion 890 million US dollars, 241.6 times that of 1978, accounting for 58.9% of the total trade surplus.

The textile industry has actively integrated into the trend of globalization, grasped the opportunities for development, and realized from the domestic market to

Extension.

In the 80s of last century, the industry complied with the historical trend of global industrial pfer and opening up, and the "three to one supplement" export-oriented economy was developing rapidly.

After China joined the WTO in 2001, especially after the abolition of quota management in the global textile trade in 2005, China's textile industry entered the fast track of globalization.

Export volume jumped from US $2 billion 150 million in 1978 to US $274 billion 510 million in 2017, an increase of 126.4 times, accounting for 35.8% of global textile and clothing exports.

In the 40 years of exploration, the textile industry has deepened independent innovation, and the overall manufacturing capacity of the whole industry chain has reached the international advanced level.

In 2016, the total labour productivity of textile enterprises above designated size was 791 thousand and 600 yuan / person, which was 44.5 times that of 1978.

Fiber materials technology is developing rapidly.

Carbon fiber, aramid fiber and other technologies have broken the monopoly of foreign countries.

Textile manufacturing technology has begun to change to the direction of intellectualization, greening and service.

Scenario economy, platform economy and shared economy are widely infiltrated, and new models and new services are emerging.

"At present,

The focus of international resources has been changed from "original product, capital and technology" to "going out", and it has implemented the leap of product 'going out', 'going out' of capacity ',' going out 'of capital' and 'going out' of brand.

"Sun Ruizhe said that at present, the backbone textile enterprises actively carry out the global industrial chain layout and pnational resources integration through green space investment and capital operation.

By the end of 2017, the stock of foreign investment in the textile industry amounted to US $8 billion 810 million, with an annual operating income of more than US $10 billion.

Facing challenges and actively innovating

At present, the development of the industry is facing new situations and new changes.

From the external environment, the dynamic development of the world is undergoing profound adjustment.

On the one hand, under the impetus of technological innovation and trade cooperation, factor resources continue to break through the boundaries of regions, organizations and technologies, and accelerate the flow in the global scope.

The global industrial chain, value chain and innovation chain are deeply intertwined.

On the other hand, the relative importance of different factors and the resource endowment advantages among different countries are changing significantly.

The focus of production capacity and consumer market is shifting to emerging market countries. The global division of labor is reshaping, and international competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

Global trade relations are more complex and trade frictions are more frequent.

Despite the marked increase in the instability and uncertainty of the global economic development, the textile industry has maintained a smooth operation since 2018, and exports continued to warm up.

According to customs statistics, the total export volume of textiles and clothing in China (excluding 94 chapters) in 1~8 months was 181 billion 400 million US dollars, up 3.7% over the same period last year, and the growth rate was 2.9 percentage points higher than the same period last year.

Sun Ruizhe reminded us that under the background of complex changes in the international and domestic situation, the market is undergoing structural changes in four dimensions, which is worthy of industry attention.

First, changes in the industrial chain structure, manufacturing value is being re recognized.

As information technology is deeply integrated into various links of design, R & D, production, service and other textile value chains, industry enterprises have begun to pform from providing products to providing experience, changing from manufacturing to service manufacturing, and from providing equipment to providing overall solutions.

In the direction of intellectualization and service-oriented, manufacturing links are gradually becoming the center of industrial innovation and value realization.

The two is the change of factor structure. Knowledge as a key element is deeply integrated into the global economy, and the role of innovation has become increasingly prominent. Knowledge intensive technology industry has become an important industry to promote global economic growth.

As far as textile and garment industry is concerned, in the deep integration of information technology, textile technology, material technology and environmental protection technology, the contents of supply are more abundant, and the combination innovation such as intelligent wearable, multi-functional textiles and so on is developing rapidly.

The three is the change of channel structure. As an important industry outlet and value channel, the new economy is playing an increasingly important role in promoting economic and social development and satisfying people's needs for good life. E-commerce as an important component of the new economy is particularly evident.

However, due to its large scale, wide area, new technology mode and rapid growth, the relevant fields of new economy are lagging behind in policy formulation and supervision.

The four is the change of value structure. Green development has become the source of value and lifeline.

Based on this, the future work of China Textile Union will focus on strong foundation, deepen the innovation of industry science and technology, promote the technology and application innovation of the industry in the key fields of new materials, green manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, industrial Internet and other key fields, enhance the independent innovation ability of the industry, strengthen the overseas cooperation, link the market resources, expand the channels and innovate the mode, continue to promote the exchange and cooperation with the international fashion industry, and promote the industry pformation and upgrading.
