Guangdong Clothing And Apparel Industry Association: The Industry's First Growth Is Negative Growth.

Guangdong Province Clothing and accessories Industry Association recently revealed: the province's clothing Total production First appearance this year negative growth A year-on-year decrease of 0.03%, which is the only area where the output of clothing is the main province in China. The export of clothing and accessories in the whole province decreased by 30.1% compared with the same period last year, and exports are expected to decrease by more than US $10 billion this year.

Liu Yueping, President of the provincial clothing and apparel industry association, said that the effectiveness of the garment industry in our province has declined, and the deficit of Enterprises above designated size has reached 26.4%, which is 5 percentage points higher than that of the whole country, and the total profit has dropped by 5.2% over the same period. Also facing the adverse situation at home and abroad, the number of Enterprises above Designated Size in Zhejiang is nearly two times that of Guangdong, and the total profit is nearly 5 times that of Guangdong. The amount of business losses is almost flat with that of Guangdong. To a certain extent, these figures show that the value added of Guangdong clothing enterprises is low, the profit margins of enterprises are small, the profitability is reduced, the market channel is single, and the export environment is prominent. He predicted that the status of Guangdong's largest province of clothing is at stake, and that Zhejiang will probably surpass it at the end of the year.

Chinese clothing association Jiang Hengjie, executive vice president, thinks that design and sales are the two most important added value in the apparel industry chain, which should be the future force of many garment enterprises in Guangdong.

Guangdong provincial economic and Trade Commission responsible person also believes that we can create a regional clothing brand as a whole. Competitive power Abandoning the Guangdong business culture rather than making the phoenix tail can lead the best enterprises in a certain category to take the lead. Other enterprises can cooperate in the form of shares and other ways to form the industrial structure of "you have me and I have you", so as to be invincible in the world.

However, there are many bright spots in Guangdong's clothing industry. For example, there are more than 4200 garment enterprises in Zhongshan, like the national textile and garment industry, which encountered unprecedented development difficulties this year. As the city actively adjusts the development of textile and garment industry and vigorously promotes the independent innovation and upgrading of the garment industry, the textile and garment industry in the first half of this year is still growing at a rate of 12.18%. The total production volume in July and August has dropped slightly, but it still has a substantial increase compared with the same period last year. Take the garment production town Shaxi as an example, the industrial output value (mostly from the clothing industry) increased by 13% over the first 9 months of this year, and exports also went against the market. According to the latest statistics from customs, exports of clothing and accessories in Zhongshan increased by 8.2% over the first 8 months of this year.
