As the most distinctive structural feature and the most important organizational form in the textile industry, industrial cluster economy accounts for half of the textile industry. The continuous development of industrial clusters has strongly supported the expansion of China's textile industry scale and the improvement of international competitiveness.

At present, against the background of global economic slowdown, weakening market demand and increasing uncertainties, industrial clusters are facing new pressures and challenges in supply chain, value chain remodeling, digital intelligence empowerment, product research and development, technological innovation and other aspects. It is a long way to go to accelerate transformation and upgrading, constantly deepen linkage cooperation, innovation and collaboration, and build a modern textile industry cluster system. At the meeting, the principals of wool textile industry clusters such as Dalang, Qinghe, Haiyang, Honghe, Ordos, Chenghai, Lingwu, etc., combined their respective development, shared their experiences and discussed the problems existing in the high-quality development of the cluster, the direction of future transformation and development, and suggestions to the industry associations.

"The current changing international situation, especially the uncertainty of the global trade environment, has brought new challenges to China's wool textile industry." Guo Huaijin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dalang Town It is pointed out that at present, Dalang Woolen has actively explored new possibilities around AI customization, large-scale equipment update, new yarn materials and other new quality productivity. In its development, the Dalang wool industry has the following pain points: First, the uncertainty of international trade has an impact on enterprises; Second, the famous brand effect and enterprise gold content are insufficient; Third, there is a lack of high-end, contiguous and fashionable modern wool textile industrial parks.

As for the ideas and measures for the high-quality development of the future Dalang wool industry, he pointed out that it is particularly urgent to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the wool industry cluster, promote the continuous transformation of new and old drivers, and promote regional cooperation between industries.

Thanks to the interaction between online and offline markets, tangible and intangible markets complement each other." Wang Zhongjie, Director of General Management Center of Cashmere Town, Qinghe County He said that in view of the strong seasonality of cashmere products and low brand awareness, Qinghe has vigorously developed e-commerce in recent years, and this year's e-commerce sales are expected to exceed 20 billion yuan.

He pointed out that although Qinghe has a large group, there are many small, medium-sized and micro enterprises and its manufacturing costs are relatively low. In recent years, in order to control problems such as inventory and difficulty in recruitment of sewing workers, local enterprises have purchased more flat knitting machines for first-line forming. In addition, Qinghe is also a weak link in terms of brand, and the awareness of independent brand is not high. To this end, Qinghe has participated in the Paris Fashion Week, Beijing Fashion Week, Shanghai Joint Exhibition and other activities to help promote its own brand. It is hoped that industrial clusters can strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation, especially in brand promotion.
