The latest data shows that in the first half of this year, the industrial added value of the nine hundred billion yuan industrial clusters in Quanzhou increased by "7 positive and 2 negative", including 8.2% year-on-year growth in textile and clothing.

As a pillar industry, the growth of Quanzhou's textile and clothing industry stems from its accumulated product innovation, green low-carbon upgrading, informatization and digital transformation, etc. In the 2024 China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories (Autumn and Winter) Expo, which ended not long ago, Jinjiang textile and clothing enterprises fully displayed their new development orientation of "technology, fashion and green", attracting the attention of global merchants.

　　 Burst innovation vitality

Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center, a hot atmosphere pervades every corner of the exhibition hall. The sound of heated discussion, excited negotiation and price inquiry interweaves to form a unique and dynamic "symphony" at the exhibition site.

"We love the bustle. It shows a thriving industry." Du Guohai, director of Xiangxing R&D, told reporters that the Xiangxing Textile Exhibition Hall was besieged during the three-day exhibition. On the first day of the exhibition, an international famous sports brand arrived to dock. At the beginning, only one designer of the brand was present for docking, and then general managers of planning and supply chain were present for in-depth exchanges with Xiangxing. "Although Xiangxing has not received a large number of orders from this enterprise at present, customers have seen Xiangxing's strength and potential through this exhibition, and the two sides will further explore the cooperation space."

During the exhibition, Xiang Xing met many similar customers. "The domestic sports giants also showed up one after another to send a positive signal. The precise matching and gathering are not only extremely popular, but also orders," said the above person in charge.

Data shows that in the first half of this year, the revenue of Xiangxing (China) Group Co., Ltd. increased by about 20% year on year. "Our export and domestic sales of our products are" two eight opening ". In March and April this year, our export orders increased significantly, while the domestic sales remained stable. We have maintained stable cooperative relations with Decathlon, Anta, Li Ning and other brand customers." Huang Zaixing, president of Xiang Xing, analyzed that with the increase of fitness crowd, especially the growth of outdoor sports consumption, The rapid growth of demand for functional fabrics has also become an important growth point for enterprises.

"For example, our rush suit fabric has increased by 40% to 50% year on year, and our sunscreen clothing has increased by 30% year on year." Huang Zaixing said that product innovation is the lifeline of enterprise development. Over the years, Xiangxing has invested tens of millions of yuan in innovative research and development every year. For example, for the product of assault jacket, "assault jacket should be waterproof and breathable, and the breathable film in the fabric is one of the" secret weapons "of waterproof and breathable. Previously, we bought the breathable film from a Korean company. In order to enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise, last year, we cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, applied their newly developed domestic nano film for bonding, and developed a new type of high waterproof and breathable shock jacket fabric. Some time ago, this product realized mass production. "

Not only Xiangxing, but also Fengzhu Textile gained the leading edge in the industry in the first half of the year with the achievement of "double increase" in revenue and net profit. In the first half of this year, Fengzhu Textile achieved an operating income of 460 million yuan, up 4.66% year on year; The net profit was 6.03 million yuan, up 38.69% year on year; Non net profit deducted was 4.78 million yuan, up 146.38% year on year.

Relying on the two cornerstones of innovation and quality, Jinpai warp knitting expanded its circle of friends at the exhibition.

　　 Ignite the technology engine

From cotton, linen, wool and silk to new textile materials, from single component to multi-component, from conventional products to multi-functional superposition... New technologies, new materials and new products continue to emerge. New products with high cost performance, multi-function, high-performance, intelligent and green compete to create diversified demands with high-quality supply. Many exhibitors actively carry out independent, original and leading scientific and technological research, ignite the downstream innovation engine with the fire of science and technology, and accelerate the formation of new textile productivity.

Industrial clusters are dancing together. The "black technology" in the textile and clothing industry is emerging one after another, and new materials, new technologies and new functions are emerging. As the most cutting-edge display platform in the industry, many Jinjiang enterprises made their debut with "black technology". Jinjiang Yaoshang Textile Technology Co., Ltd. will display the latest fabric product series, and its intelligent temperature regulating fabric, unidirectional moisture conductive fabric, odor management and other new fabrics are favored by many merchants.

Xu Changchun, general manager of Yaoshang Textile, told reporters that the products displayed by the company covered various materials, styles and uses. Whether it is fashionable swimwear fabrics, or comfortable functional yoga, fitness, sports fabrics, the company can meet customer needs.

Xiang Xing Textile has exhibited a series of products, such as ultralight assault suit, ultra fine featherless down, original yarn durable sunscreen, elastic quick drying, etc.

"This year, many customers want to seek new growth points from the exhibition, so they have a great demand for new products. To this end, we insist on unswervingly investing in research and development, better empowering the brand, and serving consumers well with customers." Du Guohai said.

In Lu Zhenxing's view, Shanghai Expo is an annual grand event of the textile industry and a platform for the integration and exchange of the entire upstream and downstream industrial chains. From the perspective of this exhibition, exhibitors are more innovative and fashionable from booth design to product display. The products directly correspond to the terminal in combination with the scene, and can perceive the use scene of the corresponding products at a glance. Therefore, the display of this product is more integrated with fashion, differentiation, functionality, and green environmental protection. Through visual and perceptible forms, the visitors can see clearly, connect as needed, and improve the appearance and efficiency.

　　 Implant "green gene"

Behind the order growth and technological innovation, green development has also become the consensus of the global textile and clothing industry. At present, the green, low-carbon and resource recycling manufacturing system is accelerating to take shape. More and more textile and clothing enterprises integrate "green genes" into their blood and work together with the industrial chain to create a green future.

"Digitization is a process of continuous promotion." Huang Zaixing recalled that around 2020, the company started the pace of digital construction. By networking all equipment in the production workshop, the information barrier between equipment was broken, and the whole process traceability of equipment status, product quality, production progress, etc. was achieved. "Taking advantage of digitalization to better control equipment energy consumption, promote energy conservation and consumption reduction, and achieve green development is our important direction."

Not only that, Xiangxing also promotes green transformation to the front. "Printing and dyeing is characterized by high energy consumption and high water consumption. The latest supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing process can change this situation. We are investigating and preparing to introduce this kind of new equipment." Huang Zaixing revealed that the equipment can be liquefied by compressing carbon dioxide and then used for fabric printing and dyeing, greatly replacing water consumption. "In addition, carbon dioxide can also be recycled, and excess dyes can also be recycled, which not only reduces energy consumption and consumption, but also reduces pollution."

The upstream transmits the vigorous development trend of scientific and technological innovation and green low-carbon, which will provide a new engine and inject new momentum into the transformation and upgrading of downstream enterprises.

In the 361 ° digital production workshop, the intelligent hanging track extends in all directions.
