Specifically, the enhancement of intra industry cross regional cooperation capability will ultimately affect the layout and order of industries and enterprises. In the process of industrial development, inter regional collaboration and cross regional mobility become a new form of industrial organization, especially large enterprises. In the early years, in response to the increasing constraints of industrial development, many countries have made capacity layout in Southeast Asia, South Asia and other developing countries and regions, or have priority in the pfer and layout of production capacity in the central and western regions; coordinated development at home and abroad is more reflected in the design and research and development in the country, and the cost impact factors are pferred to the lower cost production areas.

"The international competitiveness of knitted fabrics is further improved, the output of knitting garments is reduced and the quality grade is improved". The main performance is that the output and export volume of knitted garments have dropped in two years. However, the export of knitted fabrics has been increasing, and the internal adjustment of industry has been made in the process of coping with environmental changes.

At the same time, facing the huge market in China, the industry should pay more attention to domestic market, adapt to domestic market demand, and strengthen the investment from product design, brand and channel expansion in response to international trade frictions and the increase in the uncertainty of overseas market.

The development of high quality industry is the embryonic form.

The high quality development of the knitting industry is mainly reflected in higher production efficiency, better cost control, higher industrial added value and better social and environmental impact, and healthy and sustainable development.

The improvement of production efficiency depends on more efficient production equipment, processing technology and lean management. The introduction and utilization of automation and intelligent advanced production lines and technological innovation provide impetus for the development of the industry.

At the same time, low-end and low value-added products are gradually pforming into high-end, high value-added products, becoming an important aspect of the industry gradually getting rid of the low-end labor-intensive industries. Many domestic garment manufacturers are gradually pforming from simple foundry to design R & D products, and the branding effect of the production enterprises appears.

In terms of social and environmental impacts, knitting enterprises have gradually increased their input in environmental protection and energy saving and emission reduction. They should cope with the increasing pressure of environmental protection. Some enterprises have taken the pfer of production bases to introduce the most advanced domestic and foreign energy saving and environmental protection equipment in the new base, while ensuring that they meet the requirements of environmental protection, the implementation of high standard construction has laid a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the industry in the future.

At the same time, the major knitting industrial clusters continue to strengthen the construction of public service platform serving SMEs, creating conditions for innovation and entrepreneurship, personnel training and new project incubation.

The new trend of kinetic energy gives birth to new power of industry.

With the continuous development of the foundation of the industry development, the new stage of industrial development pays more attention to design and research, product marketing and brand operation. More attention is paid to the introduction and utilization of new materials and new technologies, new business mode innovation and new marketing channel construction, and new economic forms such as Internet +, intelligent manufacturing, collaborative manufacturing, cloud computing, big data and so on have all developed new kinetic energy for the development of the industry.

Especially in the field of intelligent manufacturing, the digitization and automation level of knitting equipment has been relatively high. It will be possible to make intelligent manufacturing of collaborative manufacturing, remote cloud manufacturing, and large-scale customization in the form of appropriate interconnection protocol and remote control.
