Garment Textile Industry Innovation Industry Upgrading

China's textile industry has become the largest textile industrial cluster in the world. Now, China's textile industry is entering another critical period of change.

The reason for the change is from the outside. More and more small and medium-sized private enterprises are being tested. How should they survive the crisis?

Textile industry has always been a turbulent industry.

In the past six months, from the chemical fiber to weaving, printing and dyeing, the entire textile industry chain is facing unprecedented pressure.

In March 11th, the China Cotton Textile Industry Association put forward an unprecedented proposal to "smooth through 2008" at its enlarged meeting of directors.

At the end of March, the China Textile Industry Association conducted a thorough investigation of textile enterprises in 6 provinces and cities such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong. It was found that the average profit of 2/3 in textile industry was only 0.62%, while that of the remaining 1/3 enterprises was only 6% to 10%, with an average profit of 3.9%.

According to the National Bureau of statistics, the output of domestic silk products was 943 million 365 thousand and 500 tons in May, down 3.9% from the same period last year. This is the first negative growth this year.

In the town of Shengze, Wujiang, Jiangsu, the silk fabric with "sunrise, silk, clothes and quilt" has already seen a large number of enterprises shutting down and closing down.

The media reported that the small and medium-sized enterprises that were discontinued locally accounted for 1/3 of the total number of SMEs.

The recession is mainly reflected in exports. Customs data show that the export amount of textile yarn, fabrics and products in April amounted to US $5 billion 980 million, and the export volume in May was US $5 billion 850 million, and the export volume in June was US $5 billion 648 million, basically slowing down.

In July, although it was off-season for China Textile City in Keqiao town of Shaoxing County, the Asia and the world's largest textile distribution center was still too cold.

In the Eastern market, the north market and the joint market, there are not many customers in each store.

An intuitive performance is the best combined market. In the second half of last year, the annual rent average price of a 20 square meter facade was 550 thousand, and the highest price was about 800000.

On July 14th, Gao Hucheng, Vice Minister of Commerce, said that at the appropriate time, a policy of support would be introduced to help textile industries such as export problems.

This is the first time that the government has made a statement since the recession of the textile industry.

10 years ago, the state took the textile industry as an entry point, squeezing out 10 million of the backward cotton ingots in 3 years, and distributing 1 million 200 thousand laid off workers.

Constrained by the system, the textile enterprises at that time were flooded with backward production capacity, a large number of redundant personnel reduced efficiency, and heavy historical debts also dragged the enterprises down.

The outbreak of the Asian financial crisis is even worse. There is a rare negative growth in textile exports. It is a must to compress backward production capacity and reduce staff.

It can be said that the endogenous factors of the industry contributed to the change. At that time, the biggest impact was state-owned enterprises. Because of the flexibility of the mechanism, private enterprises got broader development space.

In the past 10 years, China's textile industry has become the largest textile industrial cluster in the world, no matter the scale or the completeness of the industrial chain.

This time, the motivation for change comes from outside, and more and more small and medium-sized private enterprises are being tested.
