How Strong Is The Endogenous Driving Force In The Nonwoven Industry? The Eighth China International Nonwovens Conference Tells You

On June 3rd ~4, the Eighth China International Nonwovens conference was held at the 2019 China International Nonwovens exhibition and high end forum. The conference has set up 1 main forums and 2 thematic forums, including 19 professional reports.


Speaking at the main forum, Li Lingshen, vice president of China Federation of textile industry and President of China Industrial Textiles Association, said that nonwovens were one of the most active areas of innovation and development in China's textile industry in recent years. In 2018, the output of China's nonwovens was 5 million 932 thousand and 200 tons, an increase of 5.13% over the same period last year. In 2018, the total revenue and gross profit of non-woven Enterprises above designated size increased by 5.02% and 0.9% respectively. In the first quarter of this year, the growth rate of the above two indicators has rebounded to 12.65% and 14.25%, and the economic efficiency has obviously improved. The development of China's nonwoven industry has strong endogenous driving force and resilience, and it can resist all kinds of challenges and risks.


Li Lingshen said that at present, the Chinese nonwovens industry is in a critical period of structural adjustment and industrial upgrading. The traditional advantages of demographic dividend and factor resources are weakening. New advantages such as technology, talent, management, capital and brand are being generated, and become an important driving force for the sustainable development of the industry. Facing the complicated domestic and international environment and the changing Nonwovens Market, the Chinese nonwovens industry should adhere to the guidance of innovation and continue to actively promote the supply side reform.


In terms of raw materials, the application of natural fibers, bio based fibers, regenerated fibers and other high functional fibers will give new functions and characteristics to nonwovens.


In the manufacturing process, we should actively promote intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing, increase the application of advanced equipment and software systems in the production process, improve product quality, reduce energy consumption and emissions, enhance the ability of meticulous management of enterprises, and enable enterprises in the industrial chain to efficiently cooperate in product development, inventory and logistics, and construct the core competitiveness of enterprises.


In terms of scientific and technological innovation, we should strengthen the training of high-level non-woven talents and the construction of R & D platform. We should focus on tackling key common technologies and key products in the industry. In terms of market application, on the one hand, we should actively respond to the general trend of consumption upgrading, enhance the quality and grade of products, and actively expand the application scope of nonwoven fabrics and develop new markets, especially to cultivate the market for the elderly's conservation textiles, expand the application scope of household appliances and industrial fields, cooperate with relevant departments in the national standards and policies, promote the application of domestic brands of medical textiles, change the current situation that the industry mainly relies on OEM processing exports, promote the application of medium temperature filter products in indoor air quality and liquid filtration, adapt to the development trend of new energy vehicles, increase the application of nonwoven products in the automotive industry, and play an important role in the lightweight and comfort of automobiles.


In terms of foreign investment, it is necessary to encourage qualified enterprises to "go out" to invest directly, and to carry out international capacity cooperation through the strategy of "one belt and one road", so as to expand the global layout of China's Nonwoven Industry and resolve the risks brought by changes in the trade environment.


At the meeting, the industry professional evaluation standard nonwovens manufacturer was released. Li Guimei, vice president of China Industrial Textiles Association, interpreted the standards. According to her introduction, the standard includes four parts: occupation profile, basic requirements, job requirements and specific scale. The basic conditions, professional ethics, basic knowledge, professional functions, job content, skill requirements, related knowledge, theoretical knowledge and technical energy proportion of nonwovens manufacturing workers are stipulated. The nonwoven manufacturing is divided into five professional skills: five level / junior workers, four level / intermediate workers, three level / senior workers, two level / technicians, and first class / senior technicians. This standard provides a strong technical guarantee for the upgrading and evaluation of the vocational skills level of skilled workers in the nonwoven industry. It meets the needs of the development of non-woven enterprises and the cultivation of high-quality technical talents, and helps to cultivate the spirit of labor model, the spirit of labor and the craftsman spirit of nonwoven workers.


The "2018/2019 China nonwovens industry top 10 enterprises" and "2018/2019 excellent supplier of China nonwovens industry" were released at the main forum. The organizers promoted the awarding enterprises during 2019CINE, and fully affirmed the contributions made by the upstream and downstream enterprises to the development of China's nonwovens industry.


The main forum, focusing on the current and future of the nonwovens industry, focuses on the key technologies and main markets of the industry. China's Textile Industry Association, the American nonwovens Association, the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences and the fiber world share the development of the nonwovens industry in China and North America, the impact of the global fiber industry on the nonwovens industry, the challenge opportunities for the development of the nonwovens in the new situation, and the hot topics of the global health products market and the future development trend. Entrepreneurs from Berri International Group, Dalian reguang group, Tian Ding Feng Holdings Limited, Japan Toyo textile and other well-known enterprises at home and abroad share the development of global nonwovens industry and market trade status, technological innovation and green development of nonwovens industry, as well as the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the former nonwovens enterprises.
