How Does Ningbo's Textile And Garment Industry "Fashion Change"?

From the "Hong Bang tailor" once popular in Shanghai to the famous YOUNGOR, Taiping bird and Shanshan, Ningbo has a deep accumulation of textile and garment industry. It has formed an industrial system with complete categories and complete industrial chain, and the total industrial output value has exceeded 100 billion yuan. In the first half of this year, Ningbo's textile and garment industry achieved a total industrial output value of 56 billion 470 million yuan, an increase of 12.8% over the same period last year, and realized an industrial added value of 11 billion 680 million yuan, an increase of 10.9% over the same period last year.

However, behind the high growth, Ningbo's textile and clothing industry still concealed the lack of synergy of clusters, the short board of fashion communication, and the slow pace of consumption upgrading. How to achieve a total industrial output value of over 160 billion yuan in 2025, and put on a "fashion" hat for Ningbo's traditional textile and garment industry, Ningbo still needs to intensify its efforts to transform its management ideas, focus on R & D and innovation, and embark on the road of transformation.

Innovation engine keeps running

Last month, Shenzhou and the Beilun district government signed a framework agreement, which will invest 7 billion 200 million yuan and implement 18 projects to increase capital and expand production. These include high-grade fabrics, clothing production and talent apartment construction. Shenzhou's exploration is a microcosm of Ningbo's quickening the transformation of the textile and garment industry.

According to the plan, Ningbo will take the leading enterprises in the industrial chain as the main body, develop products such as yarns, casual fabrics, cotton blended yarns, etc., and develop new products with new fiber materials, new textile processing technology and green processing technology; speed up the research and development of industrial textiles, and encourage the development of a number of industrial textiles that should be used in automobile interior decoration, high-speed rail transportation, medical and health care, etc.

This means that more functional fabrics with low carbon, environmental protection, health and comfort will become the mainstream and gradually penetrate into the daily life of ordinary people.

Data show that Ningbo textile and garment industry achieved remarkable technological innovation last year, and invested 1 billion 390 million yuan in technology research and development throughout the year, an increase of 42.6% over the same period last year. In the future, the innovation engine will continue to operate. According to the plan, Ningbo will comprehensively promote the application of new technologies in the textile and garment industry, actively explore new models and new formats, accelerate the development of high-end industry value chain, and realize the innovation and development of industrial clusters.

According to the plan, our city strives to make up to 2% of the enterprise's technology investment in 2025, and the proportion of new product sales to sales revenue is no less than 30%.

Accelerated iteration of intelligent equipment

In July 31st, YOUNGOR Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Mobile Ningbo branch, and decided to jointly promote the landing of 5G intelligent factories and intelligent stores.

Intelligent equipment is the common choice of many garment enterprises in Ningbo. At present, Ningbo has the most advanced production equipment, such as shuttleless loom and other international advanced production equipment with the largest number of national jacquard, and the production technology of high-density, high-density and wide bedding in the whole country. The key technology and equipment of key enterprises have reached the international advanced level. Concieri plush, Cixing, precision machinery 3 companies were included in the Ministry of industry manufacturing single champion demonstration enterprise, Bailong East was included in the Ministry of industry manufacturing single champion nurturing enterprises, YOUNGOR, Shanshan, Taiping bird, Bo Yang was selected the national enterprise information technology 500 strong enterprises.

With the rapid development of new technologies and concepts such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and 5G, Ningbo will continue to develop high efficiency, low energy consumption, flexibility, automation, digitalization and intellectualization of textile and garment equipment, forming a systematic solution for intelligent manufacturing of textile and clothing in various fields.

By 2025, the application rate of big data service, Internet convergence and intelligent manufacturing of Ningbo textile and garment industry will exceed 90%, and the number of manufacturing high-quality demonstration enterprises will reach 5, and the level of technology and equipment will enter the first tier of the country. "We should also actively introduce and cultivate garment related equipment manufacturing industry, and strive to increase the number of key enterprises in the field of CNC and machine networking to 95%, so as to fully realize the digitalization, refinement and intellectualization of industries." The relevant person in charge of the city's Bureau said.

Creative design changes life

Design research and development and fashion transformation are short boards of Ningbo textile and garment enterprises. Next, our city will adapt to the new development trend of science and technology revolution, accelerate the introduction and cultivation of fashion design talents, improve the level of creative design, and guide textile and garment enterprises to focus on creative and innovative design, create a platform for fashion and creative design, and promote the industry to "smile curve" two sides to climb, and continuously improve the added value of products.

According to the plan, our city will take the fashion and creativity as the characteristic, take the science and technology innovation as the motive force, and take the intelligent manufacture as the foundation. We will strive to cultivate 30 famous textile and clothing brands and 3 to 5 international famous brands before the end of 2025, and let the "Ningbo outfit" enjoy a world-wide reputation, and realize the transformation from the textile and clothing market to the fashion, textile and clothing strong market.
