Under The New Situation And New Pattern, How Does The Textile Industry Benefit From Each Other?

In the past two years, the world has changed more than expected, and the global textile and clothing supply chain is also in the fierce adjustment. At the recently held 2021 "belt and road" conference of China's textile industry, experts and scholars focused on "sustainable trade and investment dual cycle", based on the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, accelerated the integration of domestic and foreign trade, and issued heavy guidance for the development of textile industry.

New situation, new pattern and new development

Construction of textile industry chain of mutual benefit and mutual benefit

This year marks the eighth anniversary of the belt and road initiative. Xu Yingxin, vice president of the China Textile Industry Federation and President of the textile industry branch of the China Council for the promotion of international trade, said that the global textile industry is closely linked. After eight years of hard work, China's textile and garment industry has become the "belt and road" initiative Since 2000, the total amount of foreign direct investment in China's textile and clothing industry has exceeded 11 billion US dollars, of which more than 70% have gone to the countries and regions along the belt and road. It has become a consensus in the textile industry to adhere to the "belt and road" initiative.

Cao Xuejun, a first-class inspector of the consumer goods industry department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, also believes that deepening international cooperation in the textile industry, building an industrial chain and supply chain with mutual benefits and mutual benefits, and expanding diversified markets are in line with the requirements of promoting the high-quality development of the "belt and road" initiative, and are also the proper strategies for the development of textile power.

Cao Xuejun suggested that Chinese enterprises should overcome the bottleneck of factors, resources and environment constraints, enhance the ability of sustainable development of industries, go global from products to investment, technology, standards and brands, open up new markets, enhance international operation capabilities, accelerate the transformation of digitalization, greening, high-end and service-oriented, and give full play to the domestic super large-scale market and existing technical advantages, Based on the domestic large cycle, promote the dual cycle, and enhance the competitiveness in the global industrial supply chain.

Promote the upgrading of textile industry foundation

Fill the gap of advanced technology of new materials

Under the new pattern of "double circulation", the textile industry is facing a new stage of development.

Zhao Mingxia, vice president of Industrial Economics Research Institute of China Textile Industry Federation, revealed that in the first 20 years of the new century, the world's fiber consumption increased from 50 million tons to 110 million tons, nearly doubling. In 2020, 36% of the 110 million tons of fiber consumption is industrial textiles. "China is the fastest growing fiber consumption, which shows that the rise of emerging economies and developing countries has driven the growth of demand, but developed countries still occupy a very important position in the whole fiber consumption."

This requires China's textile industry to continue to explore new materials and new material industry chain, through the application of new materials, expand new fields.

The outline for the development of the textile industry during the 14th five year plan issued in June this year proposes to promote the upgrading of the industrial base. We will accelerate the breakthrough of cutting-edge technology gaps in the fields of carbon fiber, para aramid fiber, polyimide and other high-performance fibers and their composites, and promote the research and development of key technologies for bio based fibers and raw materials and the application of end products.

Gao Yong, Secretary General of the Party committee and Secretary General of the China Textile Industry Federation, introduced that the "advanced industrial base" mentioned in the outline mainly refers to the raw material part, namely high-tech fiber, mainly for carbon fiber, aramid fiber, etc. "Strive to rapidly form a capacity of 100000 tons in two to three years, and form three relatively large carbon fiber production clusters in Xining, Baotou and Jilin."

Data shows that at present, China's textile fiber processing accounts for more than 50% of the world, and the overall technology of the industrial chain has reached the international advanced level.

Cao Xuejun pointed out that China's textile industry showed a strong industrial chain advantage during the outbreak of new crown pneumonia. China's textile industry took the lead in resuming production. The production capacity of anti epidemic materials such as masks and protective clothing was rapidly formed and exported in large quantities, which made an important contribution to the global anti epidemic. The proportion of textile and clothing exports has further increased, and it has become the first camp of manufacturing powers.

"At the same time, there are also some problems, such as the aggravation of resource and environment constraints, the weak ability of independent innovation, and the low added value of products," Cao Xuejun said. "Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the ability of independent innovation and to tackle key problems in weak points and short boards, so as to realize the upgrading of the industrial base."

At the same time, Gao Yong said, "China's textile industrial structure should be shifted and inclined to industrial textiles, and strive to surpass garment production capacity in the 14th Five Year Plan period or a little longer."
