Economic Operation Of Textile Industry In The First Three Quarters Of 2020

In the first three quarters of 2020, in the face of the huge impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the complex and severe domestic and foreign environment, China's textile industry continued to promote the resumption of production under the condition of normalized epidemic prevention and control, with steady improvement of production demand, smooth industrial circulation, gradual recovery of enterprise profits, and pressure recovery of economic operation, so as to promote the national economy and maintain the global textile industry The stable operation of the industrial chain and supply chain and the support for epidemic prevention and control were provided. However, the global economic and trade activities have not yet come out of the epidemic trough, and various unstable and uncertain factors such as trade friction and geopolitics have increased significantly. Under the condition of normalized epidemic prevention and control, the foundation for the sustained recovery of the textile industry still needs to be consolidated, and the sustained and stable development is facing great challenges.

The business climate of the industry keeps expanding, and the growth rate of production rebounds quarter by quarter

The prosperity of textile industry has been accelerated in the third quarter, and the utilization level of textile industry has been recovered obviously. According to the survey data of China Textile Industry Federation, in the third quarter of 2020, the prosperity index of textile industry was 61.5, 10.5 points higher than that of the second quarter, reaching the highest level since 2018. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the capacity utilization rates of the textile and chemical fiber industries in the first three quarters reached 72.4% and 79.1% respectively, up 2.1% and 2% compared with the first half of the year, but slowed down by 5.6% and 4% respectively compared with the same period of last year.

The decline in industrial production narrowed quarter by quarter. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, in the first three quarters of 2020, the added value of textile industry above designated size decreased by 4.6% year-on-year, the growth rate was 7.5% lower than the same period of last year, and increased by 11.9% and 2.1% respectively compared with the first quarter and the first half of this year. Among the main links of the industrial chain, the industrial textile industry, driven by epidemic prevention materials, continued the high-speed leading trend since this year. In the first three quarters, the industrial added value increased by 59.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 1.7% faster than that in the first half of the year. Under the support of market demand recovery, the added value of chemical fiber industry and filament weaving industry changed from negative to positive, with a year-on-year growth of 0.2% and 1.4% from January to September respectively. Due to the process of industrial chain transmission, the growth rate of terminal consumer goods production is still negative. From January to September, the industrial added value of clothing and home textile industry decreased by 10.6% and 3% respectively.

The domestic demand market continued to pick up and the export growth accelerated

Since the third quarter, the domestic demand market of textiles and clothing has gradually stepped out of the impact of the epidemic, showing signs of accelerating recovery. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, in the first three quarters of 2020, the retail sales of clothing, footwear, knitwear and textiles above the national quota decreased by 12.4% year-on-year, and the decline rate increased by 7.2 percentage points compared with the first half of the year. The deep integration of the Internet and various types of textile and clothing consumption formats, new formats and new models such as live e-commerce and social e-commerce have effectively promoted consumption compensation and accelerated the release of online consumption demand for textiles and clothing. In the first three quarters, the retail sales of online wear goods increased by 3.3% year-on-year, with the growth rate turning from negative to positive since August, and the growth rate rose by 6.2 percentage points compared with the first half of the year.

Under the situation that the epidemic situation caused the international market to decline and the international supply chain was blocked, China's epidemic prevention and control took the lead in achieving positive results. Relying on a complete industrial chain, supply chain system and stable high-quality supply capacity, the textile industry not only made great efforts to ensure the supply of international epidemic prevention materials, but also effectively made up for the gap in the international supply chain and met the consumption demand after the restart of the overseas economy Export growth accelerated. According to the customs express data, China's textile and clothing export volume in the first three quarters was 215.78 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%, and the growth rate rose by 6.2 percentage points compared with the first half of the year. From the perspective of product structure, the textile export value was 117.95 billion US dollars, a substantial increase of 33.7% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 5.9 percentage points higher than that in the first half of the year; the export value of clothing was 97.83 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year decrease of 10.3%, and the growth rate rose by 9.1 percentage points compared with the first half of the year.

The profits of enterprises have gradually recovered, and the decrease rate of investment has been narrowed

Under the influence of the demand for anti epidemic materials and the gradual recovery of domestic and foreign markets, the benefits of textile industry gradually recovered. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, in the first three quarters, 34000 Textile Enterprises above Designated Size realized 3147.72 billion yuan of business income, a year-on-year decrease of 12.1%, and the decline rate was 13.3 and 4.3 percentage points lower than that in the first quarter and the first half of the year. The total profit was 126.33 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.1%, a decrease of 32.2 and 6.9 percentage points respectively compared with the first quarter and the first half of the year. The profit margin of operating income of textile enterprises above designated size was 4%, which has returned to the level of the same period of last year, increased by 0.2 percentage points compared with the first half of the year. Among them, the profitability of industrial textiles industry is outstanding. In the first three quarters, the operating income and total profit increased by 32.9% and 240.1% respectively year on year, and the profit margin of operating income reached 12.3%, ranking first in all major links of the industrial chain. The total profit of home textile industry also achieved positive growth, with an increase of 20.1% in the first three quarters and a profit margin of 5.1%, both higher than the average level of the whole industry.

Despite the trend of profit recovery, the production and operation pressure of textile enterprises is still great, and the operation quality has declined. The loss of textile enterprises above the national scale was 28.6%, and the loss of loss making enterprises increased by 43% year on year; the turnover rate of total assets and the turnover rate of finished products were 1 time / year and 11.5 times / year, respectively, slowing down by 17.2% and 15.3% respectively; the proportion of three fees was 7%, which was increased compared with the same period of last year 2 percentage points higher.

With the recovery of the consumer market and the national "stable investment" related policies have been effective, the decline rate of textile industry investment has continued to narrow. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, in the first three quarters, the completion of fixed assets investment in the textile industry decreased by 20.4% year-on-year, and the growth rate slowed down by 13.4% compared with the same period of last year, and increased by 6.9% compared with the first half of the year.

"High quality" is still to be resolved

This has laid a solid foundation for the textile industry to recover steadily in the three years before 2020. However, from the fourth quarter to 2021, the development situation of the textile industry will still be complicated. From the external environment, the inflection point of global epidemic situation has not yet appeared and there is the possibility of rebound. The world economy is still in recession. The complex situation drives the adjustment and reconstruction of global textile industry chain and supply chain distribution pattern. The development of China's textile industry is facing multiple uncertain and unstable factors. From the point of view of domestic and foreign investment, the enterprise has not yet recovered to a normal level of growth, but the situation of domestic and foreign investment has not yet recovered to a good level, but the situation of domestic and foreign investment has not yet recovered to a good level, and the enterprises still need to maintain a stable development.

On the whole, China's textile industry still has an important foundation and advantages for a sustained recovery. Under the background of the global epidemic "pandemic", China has made great achievements in epidemic prevention and control, and the macro-economy has taken the lead in recovery. The annual GDP is expected to exceed 100 trillion yuan, which will give full play to the advantages of the domestic super large-scale market for the textile industry, accelerate the release of consumption potential, and then form a benign domestic cycle of "enterprise profit recovery, residents' consumption improvement and investment confidence enhancement" Rings provide fundamental support for development. China's textile industry has a complete industrial system and stable high-quality supply capacity, which will play a more important role in the global textile industry chain and supply chain system. The policy effect of "six stabilities" and "six guarantees" will continue to show, which will further improve the business environment, reduce the burden on enterprises, stimulate the vitality of market players, and push the economic operation of the textile industry back to normal track.

The textile industry will implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, continue to deepen the supply side structural reform, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the industry, strive to overcome the downward risk pressure, and maintain the basic stability of economic operation. In order to implement the "six stability" work and the "six guarantees" task, the textile industry will continue to deepen the structural reform of the supply side, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and strive to overcome the downward risk pressure, We should fully realize the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, fight a decisive battle against poverty, and open a new situation of high-quality development of the national economy during the period of the "14th five year plan".
