Has 2019 Become The "Most Difficult Year" Of The Textile Industry?

At the beginning of the year 2019, there were people in the textile industry shouting that the traditional textile industry will usher in the "most difficult year". The collapse of large-scale business will hit, some enterprises will be difficult to survive, or the pressure will be alleviated through layoffs.

Now that 2019 is more than half, is the textile industry really as bad as originally predicted?

　　 Since the second half of 2018, many industries are not very prosperous, and some well-known enterprises in China have begun to lay off workers. This has made the textile industry smell, but it is exaggerated to say that the textile industry has become the "most difficult year" in 2019.

Normalization of environmental protection is also a turning point in crisis.

Green hills and green hills are Jinshan Yinshan, which not only solves the problem of economic development, but also promotes green development and sustainable development, and takes account of environmental protection. This makes many heavy polluting enterprises feel deeply uneasy, and with the environmental protection policy landing in all walks of life in China, the typical "scattered and dirty" enterprises are eliminated, and the textile industry is no exception.

The normalization of environmental protection policy will inevitably lead to the acceleration of the textile industry's shuffling. According to statistics from relevant departments, more than 180 printing and dyeing enterprises in Shantou will be closed down and production stopped on 2019.

However, if we look at it from another angle, we will find that the "scattered and polluting" enterprises are out of the way, speeding up the industry shuffling, and perhaps rapidly purify the textile industry. After the labor pains, the textile market will develop in a more large-scale and orderly way. For textile enterprises, they want to survive and change in the direction of greening and environmental protection instead of complaining about others.

Textile industry employment is difficult, automation level is the key.

Labor cost is high and employment is difficult, which leads to the textile industry's price advantage never to return. In the foreign trade market, the competitive advantage has been weakened. After entering 2019, many textile enterprises have indicated that the business is difficult to do, and the volume of orders in the foreign trade market has obviously declined. Recently, several friends who have ploughed the textile industry for many years have reflected to Xiao bu.

Relying too much on labor, once the labor costs rise, the economic efficiency of the textile industry will inevitably be affected. In addition, the textile industry has great labor intensity and long working hours, and labor shortage is difficult to change at the moment. This requires textile enterprises to take more effective measures to solve the problem from the source.

For example, we should carry out technological transformation, improve automation level, adopt more advanced equipment, transform manual operation into mechanized operation, improve labor efficiency and save production cost. Reform and innovation, transformation and upgrading is the next thing that textile industry should think about.

Traditional means are difficult to reverse the trend of decline.

In the face of fierce competition in the textile market at home and abroad, traditional textile industry relies on manual or workshop production to improve economic efficiency. Obviously, it is not very realistic. If we want to break through the bottleneck of development, we must change our thinking. More and more companies like Alibaba enter the textile and dyeing industry. Relying on artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, we may be able to revive the textile industry.

The improvement of technological means will definitely play a strong role in promoting the development of traditional textile industry. However, under the circumstances of accelerated reshuffle and normalization of environmental protection, how to endure the labor pains period is a severe test for small and medium-sized textile enterprises.
