China's textile production and export power, after years of development, China's textile industry competitive advantage obviously, textile fabrics wholesale and have the most complete industry chain in the world, the highest level of form a complete set of processing, industrial clusters of numerous developed to respond to the self-regulation of the market risk has been increasing, to the development of the industry to maintain the steady pace provides a solid guarantee.
From the perspective of the international environment, the international market still has great space and opportunities for expansion. With the expiration of china-europe textile limit at the end of 2007 and the end of china-u.s. textile quota limit at the end of 2008, the era of no quota for Chinese textile is coming. The region, which accounts for more than 60% of the global textile market, is fully open, which will bring great opportunities to China's textile trade. In the next few years, the world economy will still be in a rising range, which will surely promote the growth of international trade, which will bring favorable international market guarantee to the growth of China's textile and garment export.
From the domestic economic environment, domestic demand will become an important driving force for the growth of the industry. About 80% of China's textiles are consumed domestically. With the sustained and rapid growth of domestic economy and the stable increase of household income, the domestic demand market will be further developed.
Chinese textile enterprises should overcome the rise in raw materials, the appreciation of the renminbi and the export tax rebate adjustment difficulties, catch the opportunity of the textile industry development, improve the industry concentration, curb inefficient the blind expansion of production capacity, increase characteristic industrial park construction, strengthen the pace of independent innovation, enhance the brand construction of China's textile industry, industrial adjustment and upgrade. Make China from textile big country to textile big country stride into.
The growing uncertainty in the global textile market is consistent with the global credit crisis and slowing economic growth in the United States and the European Union, which will hit the apparel retail sector. The sharp depreciation of the dollar, the ups and downs of crude oil prices and the lifting of restrictions on Chinese textile exports to Europe are all announcing significant changes. As the us economy slows, sales will decline. And because the United States and Europe may impose new trade barriers, so the global textile industry procurement may appear a significant change trend. In less than three months, the quota system for textiles and clothing will end. This change of international textile and garment trade system is the latest challenge faced by textile and garment enterprises, which brings not only hope and opportunity, but also great risks.
With the shrinking demand of the international market, it brings unprecedented pressure to many textile enterprises. In 2008, China's textile industry is suffering the most difficult year in nearly a decade. Affected by the subprime crisis in the United States, RMB appreciation, reduction of export tax rebate, tight monetary policy, adjustment of processing trade policy, rising labor costs and other factors, the textile industry is facing great difficulties and challenges. In this case, many textile industry production enterprises fell into the dilemma of production and management difficulties, struggling in the edge of loss, enterprises have closed down, and more stopped production, half stopped production. These, already posed austere challenge to spin industry. Although the export tax rebate rate of textiles has been increased, the determination of the state to eliminate low-level products and enterprises has not changed. Independent innovation and cost saving is the best way for the textile industry to get out of the predicament.
From the perspective of the operation of the domestic textile industry, from January to September 2008, the total investment in fixed assets of China's textile industry reached 202.269 billion yuan, an increase of 10.15% over the same period of 2007. From January to September 2008, enterprises above the designated size in China's textile industry produced a total of 15.9792 million tons of yarn, up 9% year on year. The total output of cloth was 41.732 billion meters, with a year-on-year growth of 6.33%. A total of 15.159 billion pieces of clothing were produced, with a year-on-year growth of 5.92%. The cumulative output of chemical fiber was 17.978 million tons, up 2.44% year on year. From January to September 2008, China's textile exports reached us $140.285 billion, up 13.06% from the same period in 2007. Imports reached us $14.194 billion, up 1.59% from the same period in 2007. It is expected that the textile industry will maintain stable growth in the next 5-10 years, and structural adjustment will run through the whole process of development. The total amount of textile fiber processing in China is expected to reach 36 million tons in 2010, and the growth rate of production capacity and output of chemical fiber industry in the next few years will remain between 7% and 15%.
Industry characteristics
The raw materials of textile mainly include cotton, cashmere, wool, cocoon silk, chemical fiber, feather, feather and so on.
The downstream industries of textile industry mainly include clothing industry, household textiles, industrial textiles and so on.
According to the state environmental protection administration, the total amount of wastewater discharged by printing and dyeing industry ranks the fifth in China's manufacturing industry. 60% of the industry sewage discharge also comes from the printing and dyeing industry, and heavy pollution, high difficulty in treatment, waste water recycling rate is low. Chemical fiber industry in the production process, some products use a large number of acid and alkali, finally produced sulfur, sulfuric acid, sulfate and other harmful substances, causing serious pollution to the environment; Some are used by solvents, media pollution of the environment is more serious. Another manifestation of environmental pollution caused by chemical fiber production is the non-degradability of chemical fiber products, especially synthetic fiber, which has a high waste recovery cost and pollutes the air after combustion. It is not easy to degrade after abandonment, which causes the deterioration of soil environment. In addition, the pre-treatment process of the wool and linen industry is also the key point of sewage discharge. In energy consumption, textile machinery, chemical fiber machinery power consumption is very prominent. The total energy consumption of chemical fiber industry is about 10%-30% higher than foreign advanced level.
Sales status quo
In 2009, the United States and Europe will use more anti-dumping, market economy status, social responsibility standards and other new measures to restrict China's textile exports. "Anti-dumping" will become the main focus of trade friction. For export growth, textile exports are forecast to grow only 15% in 2009. Exports to Europe are stable, but much smaller than in 2005; Exports to the United States could fall, affecting about $5 billion.
Due to export and overcapacity, the profit growth of the textile industry in 2006 has slowed down, and the overall profit margin will fall to between 2.5% and 3.1%. Textile market in 2005, in the export blocked at the same time, the domestic market is not "full". Domestic sales have been several times as profitable as export sales.
From January to November 2007, the total industrial output value of enterprises above the designated size in China's textile industry reached 1,690,091,131 yuan, an increase of 21.46% over the same period of the previous year. The accumulated product sales revenue was RMB 1,625,893,972, an increase of 21.22% over the same period of last year. The total profit was 61,878,749 yuan, up 31.27% over the same period of last year.
From January to February 2008, the total industrial output value of enterprises above the designated size in China's textile industry reached 270,235,318 thousand yuan, an increase of 16.44% over the same period of last year. Realized the accumulative product sales revenue of 255,274,904 thousand yuan, an increase of 17.08% over the same period of last year; The total accumulated profit was 7,551,666 yuan, up 17.14% over the same period of last year. By the end of February 2008, there were 28,174 enterprises above the industrial scale.
In terms of exports, from January to December 2007, China's total exports of textiles and clothing reached us $171.206 billion, up 18.9 percent year-on-year, 6.3 percentage points lower than the same period in 2006. Among them, the export of textiles was us $56.104 billion, up 14.99% year on year. Clothing exports totaled $115.102 billion, up 20.93 percent year-on-year.
Issues related to
1. Backward technology and equipment and insufficient development of new products. According to statistics, the output value of China's three major textile industries (textile industry, clothing industry, chemical fiber manufacturing) accounts for about 61%, 28% and 11% respectively. In addition to the chemical fiber production technology and the sewing equipment of the key clothing enterprises close to the international advanced level, the traditional spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing technology and the world advanced level has a big gap.
2. Low standards. China's textile companies are still in the low-end production stage. About 80% of the enterprises produce medium and low grade products, 6% produce medium and high grade products, 4% produce low quality and low price products, and only 10% produce high quality products.
3. Lack of high-quality human resources. The industry lacks talents in brand operation, capital management and international communication, as well as compound talents with international management experience and international competition.
4. The degree of enterprise informatization is not high. The industrial software development force is weak, the software product is few, the enterprise management software application proportion is low, the information penetration rate is low, the electronic commerce starts slowly, the majority enterprise management way is backward, it is difficult to establish the "small batch, many varieties, high quality, fast delivery" market response mechanism.
5. Lack of brand management philosophy. There are many traditional home textiles, small scale, single products, the proportion of processing trade is still large, insufficient means to cope with international competition, in the integration stage.
Industry difficulties
Textile industry experts believe that from the perspective of China's environment, the difficulties of the textile industry are "three rates and two prices", namely interest rate, export tax rebate rate, exchange rate, labor price and raw material price. In addition, there are processing trade margin and cotton textile enterprises cotton value-added tax, input tax, and output tax rates are not unified policy.
The exchange rate. Compared with the factors such as the rising labor cost and the reduction of export tax rebate, the continuous appreciation of the RMB brings more pressure on the export and has a more far-reaching impact. The continuous appreciation of the RMB has become the biggest negative factor for the export enterprises to talk about. Companies are nearing the limit of their room to raise prices, export volumes are already falling, and further price increases will simply shift orders to other international markets.
Export tax rebate. The so-called export tax rebate is mainly aimed at general trade and non-processing trade. Theoretically, the export tax rebate rate can be lowered, which plays a more direct role in curbing surplus industries, eliminating outdated production capacity, and reducing resource waste and pollution. However, as a labor-intensive industry, the textile industry has very limited profit space and low profit margin. Excessive adjustment of export tax rebate makes it difficult for a large number of textile enterprises to bear.
The interest rate. Faced with inflationary pressures, tight money has become monetary policy for the entire economy, and the textile industry is in trouble. Banks know this, so it is difficult for large textile companies to borrow from Banks.
Labor and raw material costs are rising rapidly. In the cost of textile enterprises, the proportion of raw materials in the cost of main business is about 60% to 70%, and the labor cost is about 10% to 15%. In 2008, the price of raw materials in China is accelerating. In addition, from July 1, 2008, China will raise the electricity price by 2.5 cents per KWH, which will increase the power consumption burden of the textile industry by about 3.75 billion yuan a year. Labor costs are rising by 15% to 20% every year, and the lack of operability in many areas of the new labor contract law has made it more difficult for textile enterprises to recruit workers. Labor costs, raw material prices and environmental protection have all added up to an increase of 20 to 30 percent in overall costs, according to a sample survey.
