Attention: China'S Textile Machinery Performance Reversed

China Textile Machinery Association has investigated the operation of 95 key enterprises in spinning machinery, weaving and weaving preparation machinery, knitting machinery, printing and dyeing machinery, chemical fiber and non-woven machinery. The survey shows that the order situation of enterprises in the third quarter of 2020 is generally better than that in the second quarter of 2020. The impact of the domestic epidemic is gradually alleviating.

Statistics show that from January to September 2020, one-third of the surveyed enterprises have higher order levels than that in 2019, and 67% of the enterprises' orders are lower than the same period in 2019. Among them, 11% of the enterprises' orders have fallen seriously, with a decrease rate of more than 50%. The sales price of the main products of the enterprise decreased slightly. Nearly 50% of the enterprises said that the price was flat compared with the same period in 2019. The enterprises with price reduction were mainly spinning machinery, weaving machinery and knitting machinery, while the enterprises with price increase were mostly dyeing and finishing enterprises.

Industry leader runs steadily

Since 2020, the market performance of each subdivision of textile machinery industry is different. The water jet loom in weaving machinery, flat knitting machine in knitting machinery and elastic equipment in chemical fiber machinery have decreased greatly; the market of warp knitting machine, printing and dyeing machinery and chemical fiber filament spinning equipment is relatively stable; and the market of non-woven equipment is growing significantly. Since the third quarter, the market of subdivided industries has shown a trend of accelerating recovery, and the overall operation index of textile machinery industry has continued to recover.

At present, the market share of domestic textile machinery is between 70% and 80%, and the average annual export growth rate is 5.19%. The proportion of China's textile machinery export in the global textile machinery export volume is gradually increasing. In 2019, China's textile machinery export reaches 3.78 billion US dollars, ranking first in the world. The data show that China's textile machinery has strong market competitiveness.

The person in charge of the Textile Machinery Association told reporters that in the first three quarters of 2020, the main problems encountered by textile machinery enterprises in production and operation were mainly manifested in insufficient market demand at home and abroad, high pressure on cost rise, blocked sales channels and cancellation of orders by customers, difficulties in purchasing raw and auxiliary materials, great pressure on energy saving and emission reduction, and the proportion of RMB exchange rate fluctuation significantly increased compared with the second quarter of 2020 aspect.

Nevertheless, the survey data still show that under the overall adjustment of the textile machinery industry in 2020, the operation of leading enterprises in the industry is more stable, can better cope with market fluctuations, and the overall performance of business indicators is more prominent.

Printing and dyeing machinery is improving as a whole

With the effective national epidemic prevention and control work, the printing and dyeing machinery industry has gradually overcome the adverse impact of the epidemic situation, the production and operation has remained stable, and the overall operation has gradually improved. At the same time, relying on the advantages of the complete industrial chain and supply chain system with China's textile industry, it has effectively made up for the international supply chain gap.

According to the survey and statistics of Textile Machinery Association, affected by the epidemic situation, in the first quarter of 2020, enterprises in the printing and dyeing machinery industry suffered from serious shortage of labor, widespread cancellation or postponement of orders, blocked exports, reduced market demand and reduced new orders. Most of the orders of enterprises came from before the epidemic. With the positive results achieved in domestic epidemic prevention and control, the domestic demand market will gradually recover from April 2020, and the production capacity and orders of various types of mainframe will continue to rise in the second and third quarters of 2020.

Statistical data show that from January to September 2020, the market situation of domestic main pretreatment equipment in the third quarter is good. According to the statistics, 33 mercerizing machines were sold, an increase of 18% compared with the same period last year, 55 sets of desilting, scouring and bleaching combined machines were sold, which was 9% lower than that in the same period in 2019. Most enterprises reported that the orders of pretreatment equipment were good, and the normal delivery of export orders was affected by epidemic conditions, but the domestic market made up for the loss of export orders caused by the epidemic situation.

From the market situation in the first three quarters of 2020, the traditional printing equipment is better, the digital direct jet printing equipment is basically flat compared with that in 2019, and the high-speed printing equipment is more than 10% higher than that in 2019. The digital printing equipment is relatively flexible, which can better meet the demand of small batch and multi batch orders in the market during the epidemic period. The total sales of setting machines were nearly 900, about 10% lower than the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2020, the capacity of the setting machine will basically recover, with a month on month increase of nearly 40% compared with the second quarter of 2020.

It was also reported that affected by the epidemic situation, China's traditional textile machinery export markets such as India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and so on fell significantly. The top five export provinces and cities are Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Shandong, with an export value of 556 million US dollars, accounting for 79.85% of the total export of printing and dyeing finishing machinery.

The spinning machinery began to pick up

From the statistical data of the first three quarters of 2020, it can be seen that, affected by the epidemic situation, the total demand of spinning machinery market at home and abroad is low. The sales volume of all kinds of main machines and special parts equipment have decreased to varying degrees; among the imported equipment, only the air-jet vortex spinning equipment is still growing, indicating that the domestic demand for air-jet vortex spinning is still hot.

Due to the continuous epidemic situation in foreign countries, import and export logistics and personnel flow are difficult, the economic recovery is still slow, and the recovery of export market still needs a long time. Under the condition of sustained and stable domestic epidemic situation, the potential of domestic demand has been continuously released. In addition, some foreign textile orders have been transferred to China. The market of textile enterprises will gradually recover after July 2020, and the demand for equipment and equipment will gradually increase. The orders of spinning machinery enterprises will gradually rise from August 2020.

Relevant data show that in the first three quarters of 2020, the sales of high-speed carding machines are about 1500; the sales of drawing frames with autoleveller are about 900, accounting for 56.3% of the total; the roving frames equipped with coarse and fine devices are about 220, accounting for 61.1% of the total; the sales of long cars (with collective doffing devices) are about 1.02 million spindles, accounting for 81% of the total spinning frames; and the sales of compact spinning devices are about 2.06 million spindles, The year-on-year decrease was 41.1%.

Chemical fiber machinery

In the first quarter of 2020, due to the impact of the Spring Festival holiday and the epidemic situation of new crown pneumonia, chemical fiber equipment enterprises could not return to work and production normally. In response to the needs of epidemic situation and epidemic prevention, some chemical fiber machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises adjusted their product direction and actively switched to production of anti epidemic materials and equipment.

In the first three quarters of 2020, the shipment of polyester, polyamide and other filament spinning machines was about 11000 spinning positions, an increase of 15.78% compared with the same period in 2019; the shipment of high-speed texturing machines was about 840, with a year-on-year decrease of 40%. Orders for texturing machines have declined, but they have rebounded substantially since the third quarter of 2020. With the effective control of the epidemic situation of Xinguan in China, the process of enterprises returning to work and production is speeding up, which will pick up in the whole year. The new production capacity of polyester staple fiber complete equipment is about 230000 tons, which is 48.88% lower than that in 2019. The newly increased production capacity of viscose complete equipment has increased compared with last year.

According to the person in charge of the Textile Machinery Association, at present, 639 textile machinery enterprises above Designated Size in the industry have achieved 47.704 billion yuan of business income, a year-on-year decrease of 16.04%, and the growth rate decreased by 19.073 percentage points compared with the same period last year. The decrease of operating revenue in the first three quarters of 2020 will be 0.98 percentage points lower than that in the first half of 2020.
