China'S Textile Industry Steadily Towards High Quality Development

Positive growth of 9.6%! In 2020, China's textile and clothing industry will export 291.22 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%, driving the growth of China's exports of goods trade by 1 percentage point.

The stable release of export competitiveness is the epitome of the deep adjustment and improvement of development quality of China's textile industry. Recently, at the 15th Annual Meeting of China Textile round table forum sponsored by China Textile Industry Federation, Gao Yong, party secretary and Secretary General of China Textile Industry Federation, said that although the total scale of the textile industry declined year on year due to the impact of the epidemic situation, thanks to online sales, intelligent manufacturing and stable industrial chain supply chain advantages, the textile industry still has a bright performance——

From the perspective of growth rate, from January to November last year, the growth rate of industrial added value of textile enterprises above designated size increased by 13.4%, 3.6% and 1.5% respectively compared with the first quarter, the first half of the year and the first three quarters; in terms of profits, the sales profit margin of Enterprises above designated size was 4.3% from January to November last year, which was not only significantly improved from the level of 2.2% at the end of February, but also increased by 0.1% over the same period of last year.

"Warm" - thanks to the rise of online sales, the domestic demand market of China's textile industry showed an obvious warming trend in the second half of last year. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the year-on-year decline in retail sales of clothing, shoes, hats, needles and textiles of units above the designated size in China has gradually narrowed from more than 30% at the beginning of the year to 7.9% in the first November.

"Increase" - under the pulling effect of anti epidemic materials such as masks and protective clothing, China's textile export competitiveness has been steadily released, and the export scale is close to the best level in 2014.

According to Gao Yong, in terms of scale, China's total fiber processing accounts for about 50% of the world's total fiber processing, 70% of the chemical fiber output, and about 1 / 3 of the total export volume. From the perspective of comprehensive capacity, China's textile industry chain has generally reached the international advanced or leading level in terms of categories, output quality, production efficiency, and independent technology and equipment. Not long ago, the Chinese Academy of Engineering released the "strategic research on promoting the construction of a manufacturing power in 2035", which shows that the textile industry has become one of the most advanced industries in the world.

How to develop the textile industry with high quality during the "14th five year plan" period? Gao Yong said that the key is to enhance the independent innovation of cutting-edge science and technology, soft power of brand and fashion, leading ability of green development and control ability of international supply chain, strengthen the advantages of manufacturing system and solve the short board of supply chain of industrial chain.

"The textile industry should upgrade from" made "to" refined "and finally to" well made ", so as to truly realize precision manufacturing, green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing." According to Shan Zhongde, academician of Chinese Academy of engineering and President of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, we should continue to promote the research and development of intelligent high-quality textile equipment, improve efficiency, performance and digital level, truly realize automatic perception, intelligent decision-making and automatic execution, and actively develop service-oriented textile manufacturing and promote personalized customization production mode.

Production and manufacturing is more "green", not only to recycle the waste products, but also to make the production process energy-saving and carbon reduction. "In the past, the textile industry was more concerned about end pollution control. Next, we should promote the whole process control and carry out targeted and accurate pollution control." Professor Wen zongguo of Tsinghua University environmental school said.

Textile products are more "excellent", strengthen the research and development of fine processing technology in the whole industrial chain, and develop the market with high-end products. "We should integrate new materials, new technologies and domestic consumption upgrading trend, develop high-end textile products with high comfort, easy care, antibacterial health care and other functions, continuously improve the quality and technology added value, and explore new market demand." Gao Yong said.
