More Active Market, More Closely Linked Textile Transportation In The Yangtze River Delta Increased By 53.8%

As one of the important birthplaces of China's textile industry, Jiangsu's textile industry has formed a complete industrial chain from fiber, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing to clothing, home textiles, industrial textiles, and textile machinery and equipment. Among them, Suzhou, Wuxi and Nantong are particularly outstanding in terms of industrial chain completeness, and the number of leading enterprises is leading in the country. With the acceleration of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, the textile trade between "three provinces and one city" has become increasingly close. According to the latest big data, the weight of textile transportation in the Yangtze River Delta increased by 14.7% year on year in the past year, and the year-on-year growth at the beginning of 2024 reached 53.8%. The textile transportation in "three provinces and one city" (Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui) ushered in a "good start".

Thanks to the advantages of online sales, intelligent manufacturing and stable industrial chain supply chain, Jiangsu's textile industry will perform well in 2023. Recently, Manbang released the textile freight data report, which shows that since January this year, the tonnage of textile shipments in Jiangsu has increased by 44.5% year on year, 22.29% year on year in 2023, and the total weight of textile shipments has increased by 5.2% year on year, realizing "two wings flying together". At the same time, with the development of freight logistics, Jiangsu textiles take "silk" as the medium, and "trade" and "line" lead thousands of miles. Today, textiles from Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, are even transported to Ali, Xinjiang, more than 5000 kilometers away.

In Suzhou, a major city in the textile and clothing industry, there is not only a complete textile industry chain of "from a drop of oil to a piece of cloth" and "from a piece of silk to a brand", but also the birth of the world's top 500 enterprises. The local China Oriental Silk Market has gathered more than 7000 enterprises engaged in fabric production and trade. Every day, trucks full of goods come in and go out, which is the epitome of the "boom in supply and demand" of textiles.

According to relevant data in the report, Suzhou continues to lead the top five cities in the list of Jiangsu textile shipments and Jiangsu textile receiving cities: the tonnage of shipments far exceeds Nantong and Wuxi, the second and third largest in the province, which is three times the fourth and fifth largest in the province; On the list of destinations for Jiangsu textiles, Suzhou also outperformed Shaoxing and Nantong, almost the sum of the receipts of Jiaxing and Linyi.

In any integration plan or scheme of the Yangtze River Delta, "industrial collaboration" is an important chapter. The year 2023 marks the fifth anniversary of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta into a national strategy. Over the past five years, "three provinces and one city" has been closely linked to integration and high quality, constantly promoting the "blueprint plan" to become a "reality picture", and the textile industry has become a beneficiary of this strategy.

According to the report data, the Yangtze River Delta region occupies three seats in the list of "Top Tonnage Shipped by the Departure Province", with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui ranking first, second and fifth respectively. At the same time, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces also took the "No. 1" position of "the province with the largest month on month increase in the tonnage of textile shipments" and "the city with the largest month on month increase in the tonnage of textile receipts" respectively. Among them, Jinhua, Wuxi, Nanjing, Changzhou and Suzhou ranked the top five cities with the largest month on month increase in the tonnage of textile receipts, which respectively belong to Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province. Three ranking lists of fine products show the prosperity of the textile industry in the Yangtze River Delta. In addition, Suqian, Hangzhou, Jinhua, Anqing and Nantong are the top five cities with the largest year-on-year growth in tons of goods received, all of which belong to the Yangtze River Delta region. Zhejiang Jinhua and Anhui Anqing have a year-on-year growth of 69.9% and 73.7% in tons of goods received. In the top five list of "the main cities where Jiangsu textiles come and go", Shaoxing and Jiaxing of Zhejiang Province broke into the top three, directly catching up with Suzhou, the first city in Jiangsu Province.

The Yangtze River Delta gathers the headquarters of major private express enterprises and the head of logistics enterprises. The express logistics industry is developed. With the digital and intelligent advantages of regional development, textiles are now running faster. In recent years, the logistics industry of Jiangsu Province, especially the development of smart logistics, has ranked the forefront in the country, and in 2019, it was successfully approved as a pilot province for comprehensive reform of logistics cost reduction and efficiency increase with the theme of "smart logistics". Many enterprises, including Yunman, have developed rapidly and become the first echelon of the industry; In Zhejiang, there are 10 national demonstration logistics parks and 20 provincial demonstration logistics parks (including the national level), ranking first among all provinces and cities in China. The Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the People's Government of Zhejiang Province on Accelerating the Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry put forward that innovation scenarios including intelligent logistics will be created in the future.
