??? While developing new industries, the basic supporting role of traditional industries is very important. Textile and garment industry is one of the traditional industries with large output value in Jiangmen. At this year's "5 + n" industrial cluster development conference in Jiangmen, textile and garment industry cluster, as one of the chains, has become an important part of promoting the high-quality development of advanced manufacturing industry in Jiangmen.

??? According to relevant data, in 2020, Jiangmen textile and clothing industry will achieve an industrial output value of more than 23 billion yuan. There are 185 Enterprises above Designated Size, including 45 enterprises with more than 100 million yuan and 4 enterprises with more than 1 billion yuan. Under the background of "5 + n" industrial cluster, Jiangmen will promote the high-end development of textile and clothing industry with health, intelligence, personalization, fashion and greening as the key direction, and strive to achieve 50 billion yuan of textile and clothing industry output value by 2025.

??? Recently, the reporter visited the representative textile and garment enterprises in Jiangmen City to understand the current situation and direction of the development of Jiangmen textile and clothing industry.

??? Current situation: deep family background, obvious competitive advantage of industry leader

??? Textile and garment industry started earlier in Jiangmen. Since the reform and opening up, relying on the geographical advantages adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao and rich overseas Chinese resources, a large number of textile and garment enterprises have invested in Jiangmen. Chen Weizhuang, who has been engaged in the textile industry for more than 30 years, is the director general of the high tech materials division of Guangdong Caiyan Co., Ltd. he has witnessed the process of Jiangmen textile and garment industry from spinning to weaving, dyeing and finishing, and gradually forming a complete industrial chain.

??? It can be said that from the 1980s to the beginning of this century, Jiangmen's textile and clothing industry was in a glorious period. Textile and garment enterprises were booming. In the 1990s, many listed companies in Jiangmen were engaged in textile industry. Jiangmen textile and garment enterprises are mainly distributed in Xinhui, Kaiping, Heshan, Enping, Pengjiang and other places, with a layout in the upper, middle and lower reaches, forming a relatively complete industrial chain and growing a number of well-known enterprises in the whole province or in the country.

??? “ In recent years, although the pace of development of textile and clothing industry has slowed down, Jiangmen has established a production pattern of comprehensive development of polyester, nylon, polypropylene, aramid, color masterbatch, warp knitted blanket, knitwear, household textiles, denim and clothing, non-woven fabrics, etc., forming an industrial chain system from raw materials to finished products such as clothing, shoes and hats, leather goods, bags, etc Chen Weizhuang said that Jiangmen textile and garment enterprises have a deep family background and obvious competitive advantages in the industry. In particular, the upstream production of chemical fiber products has greater advantages in the province and even the whole country.

??? The reporter learned that in terms of industrial technology R & D and innovation ability, Xinhui Meida nylon Co., Ltd. has established a national enterprise technology center, and Enping Jinxing textile printing and Dyeing Enterprise Co., Ltd. has established Guangdong functional fiber and textile engineering technology research center relying on Wuyi University. In terms of brand building, Jiangmen textile industry has two Chinese famous brand products of "Jinfan" nylon filament and "Caiyan" intermediate aramid fiber products, "Caiyan" fiber coloring masterbatch and elastic lace, Kaiping "Chunhui" polyester filament, and "Huashida" spunbonded nonwovens; Four product trademarks, including MEDA "Jinfan" polyacetamide chip, Kaiping Huashida "figure" non-woven fabric, Caiyan textile's "Caiyan" color masterbatch and "Chunhui" polyester filament thread were rated as famous trademarks of Guangdong Province.

??? Dilemma: the industrial cluster is relatively weak, and the overall brand is difficult to establish

??? In recent years, with the continuous development of some cities in the Pearl River Delta and the rapid development of the textile and clothing industry in the Yangtze River Delta, Jiangmen textile and clothing industry is relatively backward, and the advantages accumulated in the past are no longer obvious. In addition to a few "star enterprises", most of the textile and clothing enterprises are small in scale and scattered, and the industrial clusters are relatively weak, which is especially obvious in the downstream clothing enterprises.

??? “ Jiangmen has a relatively complete textile and clothing industry system, which has basically formed a complete textile industry chain in Jiangmen, from chemical fiber materials in the upstream, textile printing and dyeing in the middle reaches, and clothing and apparel in the downstream Jia Yongtang, chairman of Guangdong Textile Professional Teaching Steering Committee, has long been engaged in the production, teaching and research of textile and garment engineering. He said that even so, Jiangmen is relatively weak in the research and development of new materials, textile and clothing and the construction of its own brand. It has not built a professional cluster wholesale market and has not formed the overall brand of Jiangmen's textile and clothing industry.

??? “ Compared with the textile and clothing industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the textile and garment industry in the Pearl River Delta has certain deficiencies A person in charge of a textile enterprise in Xinhui said frankly that Jiangmen's industrial textiles industry advantages are not outstanding, and industrial textiles are characterized by high technology content, high product added value, high labor productivity and wide industrial penetration. They are important materials for medical, health, aviation, aerospace and other industries, and are closely related to emerging industries in the country“ No matter from the advanced level of products, industrial structure and scale, the degree of attention of enterprises, or the guidance of industrial development, we all have some practical problems, which has become a constraint on the textile and clothing industry in Jiangmen to become bigger and stronger. " The person in charge said.

??? “ In the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of foreign investment was invested in Jiangmen textile and clothing industry, and advanced international production equipment and technology were introduced. Jiangmen textile and garment enterprises can still walk in the forefront of the country. However, in recent ten years, the capital investment for upgrading is obviously not as good as that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Some enterprises still use the old equipment of that year, and there is a gap in product varieties and quality, and the productivity efficiency is also low. " Enping Jinxing textile printing and dyeing enterprises Co., Ltd. deputy general manager Song said.

??? Jia Yongtang said that the bottleneck problems faced by Jiangmen's textile and clothing industry are highlighted, and the structural contradictions of the textile and clothing industry are mainly manifested in the lack of industrial chain agglomeration; Due to the lack of unified planning, the development of enterprises is restricted by many factors; The level of industrial technology and innovation ability need to be further improved; There is a lack of large-scale textile parks and professional markets, with little external influence and few well-known brands.

??? “ Most textile and garment enterprises in Jiangmen lack the awareness and ability of technological innovation, and the phenomenon of homogenization competition with low technology level is prominent Chen Weizhuang said that Dongguan, Zhongshan, Puning and other places in Guangdong have formed large-scale specialized markets, but Jiangmen, as the four national textile and garment industrial bases in the province, does not have a large-scale specialized textile market.

??? Talent problem is also an urgent problem to be solved in textile and garment industry. On the one hand, young people are unwilling to engage in blue collar work; on the other hand, they have a fixed thinking on the textile and clothing industry. In the view of song of the whole country, the problems in the textile and garment industry are a microcosm of today's manufacturing industry, but in fact, the office environment of many textile and garment enterprises is very comfortable and the degree of automation is relatively high“ Our chemical fiber materials are used in baby diapers and other skin friendly products. How can the factory environment be bad? " For the young people's misunderstanding, Chen Weizhuang also has some helplessness.

??? As for personnel training, Wuyi University has set up textile related majors for the purpose of serving the development of local industries. What worries Jia Yongtang is that many young people nowadays do not want to apply for textile majors. They think that the textile industry is only a traditional industry, but they do not know that it is closely related to new materials, big health and other industries, and has already entered the high-tech era. In addition, some students prefer to do sales after graduation, rather than do a good job in technology, research and development in textile and garment enterprises, and need to strengthen guidance in concept.

??? Opportunity: "5 + n" industrial cluster empowers textile and garment industry

??? According to the statistical bulletin of national economic and social development of Jiangmen City in 2020 issued by the Bureau of statistics of Jiangmen City, among the traditional industries with advantages above scale, the cloth output increased by 25.2% to 201.208 million meters, the clothing output decreased by 42.8% to 68.248 million pieces, and the chemical fiber output was 278400 tons, an increase of 95%.

??? In May this year, at the "5 + n" industrial cluster development conference in Jiangmen, the textile and garment industry, as one of the chains of Jiangmen's traditional superior industrial cluster, "n", has become a strong signal to promote the high-quality development of advanced manufacturing industry in Jiangmen. In the next step, Jiangmen City will continue to consolidate the advantages of textile fibers and fabrics, develop industrial textiles, high-performance fiber products for special decoration, military and medical use, cultivate and introduce textile and garment enterprises with independent brands, and strive to achieve an output value of 50 billion yuan by 2025.

??? News came, Jiangmen textile and clothing people excited. In recent years, the textile and clothing industry is also undergoing a change, all kinds of new materials and new technologies constantly refresh people's original cognition. From "clothing and quilt" to national defense and military industry, from transportation to health care, from environmental protection to new energy development... China's textile industry has penetrated into various industries. In a word of Jia Yongtang, emerging industries are closely related to traditional industries.

??? Since the outbreak of the epidemic, industrial textiles have come into the public view from a small number of areas. The enterprises producing epidemic prevention materials such as masks and protective clothing belong to industrial textile enterprises.

??? What is industrial textiles? Jia Yongtang said that industrial textiles, which are specially designed and have engineering structure characteristics, are characterized by high technical content, high added value of products, high labor productivity and wide industrial penetration. They are widely used in medical and health care, environmental protection, transportation, aerospace, new energy and other fields, and are closely related to people's life, production and social development. Agricultural textiles, construction textiles, medical and health textiles, packaging textiles, safety and protection textiles, sports and leisure textiles, etc., all belong to industrial textiles. As a part of strategic new materials, industrial textiles have become one of the most dynamic fields in China's industrial system, showing a huge development space under the dual cycle development pattern.

??? The development of Jiangmen "5 + n" industrial cluster and the broad market of industrial textiles bring new opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of Jiangmen textile and garment industry. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the industrial added value of Enterprises above Designated Size in China's industrial textiles industry will increase by 54.1% in 2020. In terms of production, as the main raw materials for masks, protective clothing and disinfectant wipes, the annual output of nonwovens of Enterprises above Designated Size reached 5.791 million tons, up 15.8% year on year. In terms of economic benefits, in 2020, the operating income and total profit of Enterprises above Designated Size in China's industrial textiles industry will be 319.84 billion yuan and 36.53 billion yuan respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 32.6% and 203.2%, and the operating profit rate is 11.4%“ It is hoped that Jiangmen textile and garment industry can seize the opportunity and take a share in the field of industrial textiles. " Jia Yongtang said.

??? Voice: build industrial clusters and enhance scientific research and innovation ability

??? At present, it is the best time for Jiangmen textile and garment industry to strengthen its body and seek a better position in the industrial chain. How to strengthen the combination of textile and clothing industry with emerging industries and improve the scientific and technological content of advanced industrial textiles industry in Jiangmen City has become a challenge in the development of the industry.

??? Industrial development cannot do without scientific research and innovation. Jia Yongtang suggested that Jiangmen should set up a special science and technology innovation project for advanced industrial textiles in the major projects of strategic emerging industries, vigorously support scientific research and innovation in high-end and sustainable advanced industrial textiles processing and equipment technology, and strive to improve the original innovation ability and integrated innovation ability.

??? The government sets up the stage, the enterprise sings the opera“ The government can build bridges for enterprises, hold clothing exhibition Festival, shopping festival and other activities, widely publicize enterprises and brands, and make Jiangmen textile and clothing industry famous; We will strengthen the manufacturing of textile printing and dyeing equipment and the research and development of textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, actively introduce downstream key enterprises, especially large downstream enterprises of chemical fiber and non-woven fabric manufacturing industry, improve the textile industry chain, and form a Jiangmen agglomeration highland of textile and clothing industry. " Chen Weizhuang said.

??? In terms of talent construction, Jia Yongtang proposed to strengthen industry university research cooperation, attach importance to the cultivation of enterprise engineering technology and management talents, and promote the agglomeration of scientific and technological talents; We should support enterprises to adopt equity incentive, option distribution and technology equity investment, establish a distribution mechanism to encourage innovation, and attract high-tech talents to join the textile technical team.

??? “ High skilled talents are the first priority for the development of the manufacturing industry. Jiangmen City can increase the training of talents in the field of vocational education of textile and clothing specialty, and cultivate "national craftsmen" for China's manufacturing Song said all over the country.
