New Year'S Message: Textile Man 2020: Meet The Decisive Year

2020 is coming!

How many times, when we talk about this year, we will feel overwhelmed with emotion: this year is the year to win the victory of building a moderately prosperous society in an all round way and the end of the 13th Five-Year plan. It carries the target nodes of many historical tasks, connecting the infinite possibilities of the greater journey in the future.

In the past 2019, Chinese textile people were proud of their achievements and great achievements in the past 70 years since the founding of new China. They also profoundly experienced the dialectical reality of stability and change, danger and machine. They experienced the test of ice and fire in uncertainty, and practiced the way of self promotion against the current and sailing backward. Under the complex situation of risk challenges at home and abroad, the downward pressure on the industry has increased, but it still plays a positive role in steady growth and stable expectations.

Scientific and technological innovation has achieved a new leap, brand building has reached a new height, and sustainable development has entered a new stage. Overall, most of the indicators of China's textile industry have reached or even advanced the world's advanced level. The goal of building a textile power program (2011-2020 years) has basically been achieved. China's textile industry has become a well deserved textile power in the world, and the industry is emitting great vitality and vitality in the process of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

However, the prospects are limitless and the road is not smooth. Since 2019, influenced by trade disputes and geopolitical factors, world economic growth has slowed down significantly and international demand has been sluggish. The global economic growth was downgraded for the 4 time in IMF, and the world economic outlook released in October reduced the global economic growth rate to 3% in 2019. Facing the severe external environment and realistic transformation pressure, the industry development is in a difficult period.

Data from the National Bureau of statistics show that in the first 10 months of 2019, the textile industry maintained low growth, domestic sales growth slowed down, export pressure was obvious, industry investment was sluggish, and operation quality and efficiency fluctuated. In 1~10 months, the industrial added value of textile enterprises above designated size increased by 2.4% over the same period last year, 0.6 percentage points slower than the same period last year; the export volume of textile and clothing was 232 billion 310 million US dollars, down 2.2% compared with the same period last year; the fixed assets investment in textile industry decreased by 7% compared with the same period last year; the 34 thousand Textile Enterprises above Designated Size reached 4 trillion and 27 billion 104 million yuan, an increase of 0.2% over the same period last year, a 3 percentage point lower than that in the first half of this year, and a total profit of 168 billion 810 million yuan, a decrease of 8.7% percent compared with the same period last year, and the decline continued to deepen by more than 168 billion 810 million percentage points in the first half of this year. Corporate profitability has declined compared with the same period last year.

In 2020, risks and opportunities existed simultaneously. Textile people should see that on the one hand, our country is at a critical stage of transforming development mode, optimizing economic structure and changing growth momentum. Structural, institutional and cyclical issues are intertwined. The "three phase superposition" will continue to deepen and the pressure of economic downward pressure will increase. At present, the world economic growth continues to slow down, and is still in the deep adjustment period after the international financial crisis. The characteristics of accelerating evolution of the world's great changes are becoming more obvious, and the sources of global turbulence and risk points have increased significantly. Industry enterprises must actively adjust and guard against them.

On the other hand, the basic trend of China's economic stability and long-term improvement has not changed. The textile industry is still in an important period of strategic opportunities. The strong leadership of the party and the remarkable advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the solid material and technological foundation accumulated since the reform and opening up, the super market advantage and the domestic demand potential, the huge human capital and talent resources have provided the industry with the stamina and vigor.

In 2020, the policy environment will be new. In the fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, the party raised the governance system and governance capacity to a new height, providing a fundamental follow-up for China's comprehensive deepening reform in the new era. Although the short-term situation is complex and grim, it does not adopt the way of dealing with headache and pain, but pays attention to the overall, systematic and overall grasp. High quality national governance system and governance capacity are being formed; high quality economic system, domestic demand market and open pattern are emerging. This will provide strong support and friendly environment for the high quality development of China's textile industry.

The central economic work conference, which was closed recently, carried out the central plan, and outlined the direction of economic work in 2020 with "four adherence" and "one overall plan": namely, closely linked to the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, upholding the general keynote of the steady progress, adhering to the new development concept, persisting in taking the structural reform of supply side as the main line, persisting in reform and opening up as the driving force, promoting the development of high quality, resolutely winning the three major battle of upholding, and carrying out the work of "six stability" in an all-round way, promoting steady growth, promoting reform, adjusting the structure, benefiting people's livelihood, preventing risks and maintaining stability, and keeping the economic operation in a reasonable range. In this direction, the textile industry must play a positive role in the whole industry.

We must see that after years of development, the connotation of China's textile industry has undergone a qualitative leap, becoming an innovation driven technology industry, a culture led fashion industry, and a responsible green industry. The high quality and high performance fiber industry, the intelligent high-end textile manufacturing industry, the fashion industry driven by brand and creative design, the industrial textile industry deeply integrated into the national economy and the people's livelihood are the organic components of the textile industry. In 2020, in the important year of "13th Five-Year" and "14th Five-Year", we should further improve the industry planning, guide the development of industries, and accelerate the new orientation of "science, technology, fashion and green" industries to form new industrial practice and new social cognition.

We must see that the world industrial structure is in critical adjustment period, and the fourth industrial revolution window period is coming. China's textile industry should study the general trend and find a good location; seize the opportunity and speed up the assault: highly sensitive to the new development and pattern of the technology, the new changes in the policy, and constantly improve the basic capabilities such as technological innovation, fashion innovation and sustainable innovation, and achieve breakthroughs in the core areas of future industrial revolution, such as intelligent manufacturing, interconnected manufacturing, customized manufacturing and green manufacturing, so as to realize the transformation and upgrading of production mode and occupy the commanding heights of future development.

We must see that China's textile industry already has the largest volume in the world, but the industry concentration remains to be improved. Fragmentation of industrial structure makes homogeneous development from enterprises to clusters. The industry should establish a global comparative advantage with a higher quality and efficiency, explore new platforms and mechanisms to integrate social resources and integrate all sectors of the industry, and promote intensive development of the industry.

In 2020, the strong textile nation decided to win on schedule, and the development of high quality was endless. The "textile power" is not a static end of the blueprint, but always a continuous ongoing effort. The future is long and dread. Let's meet bravely and go to the decisive year.
