Nanjing Ranked Among The Top Three Cities With The Largest Month On Month Increase In The Tonnage Of Textile Receipts

"The New Year is coming, we must buy new clothes!" Ms. Guo, a citizen, told reporters that she had been busy buying new clothes for her family since the beginning of the year to create a sense of ceremony for the New Year. Recently, the freight data of home textiles and clothing have performed well. Yesterday, Manbang Group, a smart freight enterprise in Nanjing, released the observation report on textile industry freight transport. At the beginning of 2024, Nanjing ranked among the top three cities in the list of "cities with the largest month on month increase in the tonnage of textile goods received".

The booming consumption of textile products in Nanjing is just a microcosm of the development of relevant industries in Jiangsu. Thanks to the advantages of online sales, intelligent manufacturing and stable industrial chain supply chain, the textile industry in our province has performed very well since 2023. As one of the important birthplaces of China's textile industry, our textile industry has formed a complete industrial chain, including fiber, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, home textile, industrial textiles, textile machinery and equipment. The data shows that at the beginning of 2024, the tonnage of textile shipments in our province will rise by 44.5% year on year, 22.29% year on year in 2023, and the total weight of textile shipments will rise by 5.2% year on year, realizing "two wings flying together".

The year 2023 marks the fifth anniversary of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta into a national strategy. In the past five years, three provinces and one city have been closely linked to the two keywords of integration and high quality, constantly promoting the "blueprint plan" to become a "reality picture", and the textile industry has also become a beneficiary of this strategy. Textile and clothing is one of the traditional advantages and economic pillar industries in the Yangtze River Delta. With distinctive product features, significant cluster effect, active market enterprises, and strong employment drive, it has been listed in the Outline of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Integration Development Plan as one of the ten major fields of building a world-class manufacturing cluster. Today, with the acceleration of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, textile trade between three provinces and one city is increasingly close.

In the past year, Master Zhu, a truck driver who often travels in the Yangtze River Delta, felt that he was "too busy". Manbang freight data shows that in the past year, the average transport distance of textiles issued by three provinces and one city has declined to varying degrees. The shorter journey reflects not only the convenient transportation, but also the concentration of textile production and sales points in the Yangtze River Delta.

The Yangtze River Delta gathers the headquarters of major private express enterprises and the head of logistics enterprises. The express logistics industry is developed, and with the advantages of digital and intelligent regional development, textiles are now running faster. In recent years, the logistics industry of our province, especially the development of smart logistics, has ranked the forefront in the country. In 2019, it was successfully approved to become 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.

Liu Jun, the general manager of Nanjing Jiuxin Textile Technology Co., Ltd., has been a veteran in the textile industry, and his years of experience in the industry has made him very impressed with the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, "As the middle reaches of the textile industry, the orders in Jiangsu and Anhui are increasing significantly, and the volume of goods transported through the freight platform is also rising. It is the beginning of the year, the volume of goods is relatively large, and three or four vehicles of goods need to be delivered a day." The policy and enterprise rely on each other, making the development of "Liu Junren" more and more prosperous, and also making textiles in the Yangtze River Delta run against the trend and continue to be popular.
