　　 Reporters' speeches

Unlimited industrial space

Looking back at the development of the industrial textile industry in the past year, there is not only the excitement of the success of high-tech achievements in "going up to the sky" and "going into the sea" to contribute to the national strategic emerging industries, but also the "magic power" of new products and new technologies to make people's daily life more healthy, convenient, comfortable and warm.

At the recent 2024 China Textile Conference, Sun Ruizhe, president of the China Textile Industry Federation, pointed out that the output of industrial textiles would be stable at more than 19 million tons in 2023. At present, intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing are developing rapidly, and the trend that everything can be woven is more obvious. The industry develops emerging industries and future industries in the integration with bio economy, big health, deep-sea deep space, new energy and other industries. He said that the textile industry should keep up with the pace of the times, promote scientific and technological, fashionable, green and healthy industrial practices, and build a modern textile industry system that is more suitable for new production relations and new quality productivity with the spirit of nails.

Focusing on the above industrial practices, the industrial textile industry has unique advantages and development space. In the sophisticated fields related to major national strategic projects, it is unnecessary to say the mission of industry responsibility; In meeting the people's needs for a better life, the industry has a bright future.

For example, the popularity of new energy vehicles has brought new development space to automotive textiles. "Driving forest", "flower house level driving enjoyment"... A healthier driving environment has also become the focus of competition among automobile manufacturers. Kuangda Technology Group Co., Ltd., the leading enterprise of domestic automobile decorative fabrics, seized the market opportunity to develop healthy cabin interiors from five dimensions of fresh air, antibacterial and sterilization, healthy material selection, electromagnetic cleaning, and low noise and sound insulation. The automobile cabin comfort system series products produced with these self-developed new functional fibers have been widely used by downstream automobile manufacturers.

Adhering to the new development concept and actively transforming, and applying new technology to develop new products, the enterprise also takes on a new look. Shandong Zhenqiao Warp Knitting Co., Ltd. has transformed from a traditional manufacturer of warp knitted fabrics to a preferred supplier of automotive interior fabrics in Shandong Province. In recent years, using double needle bed warp knitting technology, it has developed warp knitted spacer fabric composite fabrics. This product has replaced the traditional product market of polyurethane sponge car seats, making the company form new advantages in the fierce market competition.

For another example, in the field of mass health, various applications of industrial textiles cover more and more application scenarios. Three carding spunlaced nonwovens of General Technology Donglun Technology Industry Co., Ltd. are widely used in high-end medical and sanitary products, and Dawnsens materials of Xiamen Dangsheng New Materials Co., Ltd. are used in sterilization of medical packaging materials and pharmaceutical industry; The application of intelligent textiles represented by "intelligent movement" and "intelligent protection" functions in medical care has gradually become an important direction for the future development of industrial textiles.

According to the industry forecast, the proportion of industrial textiles in the three terminal application fields of the textile industry will continue to grow and is expected to rank first. It can be predicted that the industrial textile industry will exert greater industrial energy in 2025.
