In the first half of 2020, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the global clothing industry continued to decline. However, Yantai textile clothing people actively group to deal with, fighting against the wind, withstood a big test.

In the first half of 2020, under the most difficult situation, it has achieved "five consecutive increases", which is commendable. Yantai textile and clothing export trade has stepped onto a new stage of development.

According to the staff of Yantai textile and garment industry association, affected by the epidemic situation, it is not easy for Yantai textile and garment industry to achieve such achievements in the first half of the year, mainly for five reasons. First of all, it has provided solid support for the textile industry from the provincial government and the municipal government. Service integrity, excellent technology and brand excellence are the hard core of industrial development. Yantai has a number of leading textile and garment enterprises which are well-known in China. They are the irreplaceable backbone enterprises with super innovation in research and development, top technology, excellent products and excellent brands, which lead and support the stable, sustainable and high-quality development of Yantai textile and garment industry.

Both domestic and foreign markets should be developed simultaneously. Shandong Shulang Garment Group, which has ten independently developed fashion brands, originally operated in the domestic market. After the outbreak of the epidemic, Shulang medical science and technology company was established immediately to produce medical protective articles and become the key unit of national collection and storage. At the same time, fashion, military products, and medical protection materials are working together to develop domestic and foreign markets. Medical protection products are exported to France, Italy and other European and American countries and regions, becoming a model enterprise that focuses on domestic market and drives export to international market.

Yantai Mingyuan enterprises, which used to export home textile products to the international market, immediately organized their superior resources to produce medical masks when the epidemic came. In the situation of domestic textile products export difficulties, driven by the export of medical masks, the export trade is still steadily advancing. At the same time, we should deeply cultivate the domestic market and make sure that the domestic market and the international market turn together. It has become a model enterprise which mainly exports to the international market and drives the domestic market.

We will implement epidemic prevention measures and return to work and production. Under the premise of implementing various epidemic prevention measures, the textile and garment enterprises in the city actively organize the resumption of work, production and transfer of production to ensure the orderly progress of scientific research, production and operation. Since January this year, Yantai Taihe new material group, a benchmark enterprise in China's chemical fiber industry, has been working with full face masks and full staff. The rate of return to work has always maintained 100%, which is an advanced model for anti epidemic and returning to work. Since March, most of the textile and garment enterprises in the city have returned to work with a production rate of over 98%, ensuring the stable and sustainable development of the whole industry.

Looking for opportunities in the epidemic, a number of new textile and garment export enterprises actively respond to the epidemic situation and seize opportunities in the challenges.
