Analysis Of China'S Textile Industry In 2017

With the implementation of "made in China 2025", the Chinese textile industry, as a traditional pillar industry in China, is undergoing a revolution in the widening gap between traditional textile technology and new technology.

With the "textile industry"

With the release of the "development plan", China's textile industry has stepped into the pformation of intelligence and digitalization.

The status quo of China's textile industry

China's textile fiber processing volume has maintained steady growth over the past few years. According to the Ministry of industry statistics, in 2016, the processing volume of textile fiber reached 54 million 200 thousand tons, an increase of 2.3% over the same period last year, accounting for more than 50% of the total fiber processing in the world. According to the "13th Five-Year" development plan of the textile industry, China's fiber processing volume will continue to grow at the rate of 100-200 tons per year in the next four years, reaching 60 million tons in 2020, and the growth rate will be stable at 3.5%.

China is already the largest textile processing country in the world, and China is also the largest textile exporter in the world.

According to the China Textile Industry Association, since 2010, China's textile and clothing exports accounted for a steady growth in global textile and clothing exports, but the growth rate gradually slowed down, accounting for 38% of global textile and garment exports in 2016.

However, according to customs data, in 2015, China exported $291 billion 100 million of textiles and clothing, down 4.8% from the same period last year.

Among them, China's textile exports amounted to 115 billion 260 million US dollars, down 2.3% compared with the same period last year, and clothing exports were US $175 billion 890 million, down 6.4% compared to the same period last year.

This is also the first negative export growth of China's textile and clothing industry since the financial crisis.

In 2016, the export situation still did not improve. Similarly, customs data showed that the total volume of textile and clothing trade in 2016 was 290 billion 600 million US dollars, down 6.1% from the same period last year.

Among them, exports of US $267 billion 250 million, down 5.9% over the same period last year.

This is the first time in the past 20 years that China's textile exports have been declining for two consecutive years, and the decline has been increasing year by year.

In terms of retail sales, the retail sales of clothing, shoes and hats and knitted fabrics increased steadily. The retail sales amounted to 14433 billion yuan in 2016, accounting for 9.95% of the total retail sales of consumer goods above the limit.

Entering the 2017, with the withdrawal of TPP from the US, China's textile industry began to warm up, and the textile industry added value growth rate rose gradually month by month. In 1-6, the added value of industrial added value increased by 5.3% compared to the previous month. The total investment in the textile industry over 5 million yuan was 603 billion 14 million yuan, an increase of 9.11% over the same period last year.

In 1-5 months, the main business revenue was 2 trillion and 945 billion 570 million yuan, an increase of 9.4% over the same period last year, and realized a total profit of 149 billion 500 million yuan, an increase of 10.6% over the same period last year.

Exports of textile industry showed a rising trend.

In 2017 1-6, China exported 124 billion 50 million US dollars of textile and clothing, up 2.1% over the same period last year.

The growth rate of domestic sales has also accelerated. In 1-6 months, the retail sales of clothing, footwear and hat textiles increased by 7.3% over the same period last year, up 0.3% from the same period last year.

Two, China's textile industry faces major challenges.

Although China's textile industry is beginning to warm up after 2017, it will still face many challenges.

1, consumer choice tendency

According to the information of the Ministry of industry and information, in 2014, Chinese residents consumed more than one trillion yuan in overseas consumption, and accounted for about 500000000000 Yuan in shopping consumption.

According to statistics of China Textile Federation information statistics department, in recent years, the volume of textile business pactions has increased year by year, but the growth rate has been declining.

The main reason is that there is still a certain gap between Chinese textile industry and foreign level in terms of brand and design.

2, the increase in labor costs is higher than productivity.

At present, labor costs in China are rising year by year, which is far higher than those in Southeast Asia and Africa. In 2014, China's labor cost was 3 times that of Vietnam.

According to DDT's report, labor costs in China increased five times in ten years from 2005 to 2015. According to the research results released by global economic research and Oxford Economics, the labor cost of China's manufacturing industry is only 4% lower than that of the United States and much higher than that of India. However, the productivity of unit labor between China and the United States is very different, and the productivity of the United States is 80% to 90% higher than that of China.

3. Foreign policy implications

Because of the labor cost problems mentioned above and the impact of the p Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), manufacturing powers such as Europe and the United States have shifted their focus to developing countries such as India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Pakistan, and the textile and garment industry of TPP members is developing rapidly. Whether it is equipment or technology, the pace of upgrading is very fast, and even some individual foreign invested factories and equipment are more advanced than those of Quanzhou and other places.

Although the situation has improved slightly with the withdrawal of the United States, the overall situation remains unchanged.

4, technology is relatively backward.

At present, textile technology in China still relies heavily on traditional handwork, so that technology is far behind the manufacturing power in Europe and the United States. Although many enterprises have introduced advanced equipment abroad, they still can not change the overall backward technology and low productivity of the industry, and some enterprises have not achieved good results in importing the imported products.

The pformation of digitalization and intellectualization is imperative.

Three, China's textile industry is facing new changes.

With the progress and development of society, under the influence of multiple factors such as the environment, consumer demand and cost, China's textile industry is also undergoing new changes. It is mainly divided into three points: "speed up innovation", "consumption demand diversification" and "intelligent deep integration".

1, speed up innovation.

(1) technological innovation.

At present, with the characteristics of intelligence, green and ubiquitous technology, technology is emerging in the form of platform, agglomeration and integration.

Information technology, textile technology, material technology and environmental protection technology blend with each other, and the technological innovation speed of the industry accelerates.

According to statistics, the number of invention patent applications in China's textile industry increased year by year and increased rapidly from 2008 to 2015.

(2) product innovation.

R & D cycle and fashion cycle are shortening, product iteration is accelerating.

Lack of patience and short attention are forming a consumption trend. This demand is pmitted to the front-end of the industrial chain, which requires that product development and supply must be faster and more agile.

Inditex, one of the world's four largest fashion retailing groups, has grown 12% in the 2016 fiscal year to 23 billion 300 million euros with its fast fashion style of its brand Zara, operating profit rose 9.4%, 4 billion euros, and net profit of 3 billion 200 million euro, up 10% over the same period.

For example, Boohoo and ASOS can produce goods in 2 to 4 weeks, while Zara and H&M are 5 weeks, while traditional retailers need 6 to 9 months.

Boohoo and ASOS can reach 100 units and 4500 units a week.

(3) mode innovation.

New tools and new markets spawn new models.

Technological innovation and product innovation make industry mode innovation increasingly rich and accelerating.

Dior, Topshop, Moschino and so on use virtual reality technology to play fashion show in the physical store.

Modern Avenue introduces VR, AR, smart glasses and other technologies to realize the socialization and entertainment of shopping.

The joint venture and the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly build virtual reality technology and shoe industry laboratory, combining gait measurement with VR technology.

Boboli and Tommy Hilfiger tried to buy new models.

2, diversified consumer demand

At the moment of "consumption upgrading", consumer demand for textiles is also changing. According to McKinsey's 2016 Chinese consumer survey, Chinese consumers are more picky about where to spend their money, and the widespread fast market growth is no longer there. Consumers are beginning to increase the cost of improving their quality of life and experience.

Secondly, according to Ai Rui consulting and DDT data, at present, the younger generation of Chinese consumers are more concerned about the three aspects of high quality, high cost performance and design personality. This shows that the pursuit of personalized consumption has replaced the price as the main consideration of consumers at this stage.

3, intelligent deep integration

Although the technology is relatively backward from the industry as a whole, more and more advanced intelligent devices have been developed and imported, and the domestic textile industry has developed rapidly in the development of intellectualization.

China Textile Information Center and national textile product development center rely on the CNCS color system, adopt the artificial intelligence visual recognition platform of the code long technology, carry on the research of fashion color; the cotton spinning intelligent production line, the automatic fully formed knitting production line, the printing and dyeing online detection automatic distribution system, the chemical fiber automatic packaging, the clothing intelligent storage system and so on have been applied in the industry; the dual enterprise provides the 3D foot type scanner for its store; seven wolves install and promote the 3D fitting mirror in the store.

Four, pformation of China's textile industry

In order to further speed up the pformation of the textile industry's intelligence and digitalization, the Ministry of industry and Commerce released the "13th Five-Year" development plan of the textile industry in 2016.

1, automation, digitalization and intellectualization of textile equipment development.

We should strengthen the development and production of high performance fiber, bio based fiber and other new materials, complete equipment, new spinning and weaving equipment, new printing and dyeing equipment, and improve the production efficiency, performance and function, as well as automation and digitalization level of the equipment.

We will develop new textile sensors, intelligent measuring instruments, quality control and execution systems, and promote the industrialization development and application of high-end intelligent equipment with automatic perception, intelligent decision-making and automatic execution functions.

Promote the development and application of hanging system, intelligent logistics packaging, intelligent robot, network management information system, etc.

2, promote intelligent plant (workshop) construction.

Promote the application of information technology in textile production, research and development, management, storage, logistics and other links.

The research and formulation of intelligent manufacturing standards for textile intelligent manufacturing system, digital factory (workshop) reference model, general technical conditions, evaluation and verification, etc.

In the textile, printing and dyeing, chemical fiber, clothing, knitting, home textiles and other industries, the automation and intelligent production, online process and quality monitoring, automatic pportation packaging, intelligent storage, intelligent management are the main features of the digital and intelligent chemical plant (workshop) demonstration.

Through intelligent production and integration of information management, improve labor productivity and product quality stability.

The labor productivity of the pilot project of intelligent manufacturing increased by more than 30%, the product development and production cycle shortened by more than 20%, and the defective product rate dropped by 30%.

3, cultivate and develop mass customization.

The standard of garment measurement method should be formulated to promote the establishment of human body database and the standard of garment size, and improve the accuracy and practicability of 3D body measurement, garment 3D visualization and simulation technology.

We encourage the construction of information interaction platform for consumers and production enterprises, collaborative supply platform of industrial chain, and promote customization and mass customization in clothing and home textile industry, directly connect with consumer demand, and use industrial means to produce personalized products.

Both have been included in the key tasks of the next five years.

Secondly, in order to better and faster promote the application of intelligence and digitalization in China's textile industry, the Ministry of industry and Commerce has published a list of intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration projects from 2015, covering various fields, among which the textile industry is also one of the key projects.

Now, over the past three years, many enterprises have also made achievements.

The pilot project of garment customization of Qingdao red collar group is one of the first batch of intelligent manufacturing pilot projects. Nowadays, the personalized dressing platform of red collar group has been able to realize the information and intelligence of the whole process, integrate the information technology such as Internet and Internet of things into mass production, and create flexible and personalized products on a pipeline.

It has formed requirements data collection, pformation of demand into production data, intelligent R & D and design, intelligent planning and scheduling, intelligent automatic typesetting, data driven value chain collaboration, data driven production execution, data driven quality assurance system, data driven logistics distribution, data driven customer service system and fully digital customer service operation system.

And the red collar has signed the shoe and garment enterprise personalized production pformation plan of the Putian Footwear Association's president unit.

After signing a strategic cooperation agreement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, co developing the foot scanning equipment and building the "Chinese foot data database", the company has independently developed the personalized customization system, and has actively launched the personalized customization business of footwear, creating C2M demand driven manufacturing plant new production status.

According to the personal foot data obtained by the 3D foot scanning device, users can choose shoes in real time according to their own preferences, choose shoes color, embroidery patterns and patterns, and so on, only need to place orders on the screen of the equipment. The customized customization system will send these inputs to the intelligent factory production management system and send instructions to the factory production line and supply chain according to the user's choice. The fastest time is only twenty minutes, and customers can get private customized shoes.

Nowadays, the double car enterprises will gradually extend their stores from Putian to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities throughout the country.

"Nowadays, the demand for products is more and more diversified. For China's textile industry, the original large-scale production mode is high efficiency and small cost, but the variety is single, and it can no longer meet the needs of consumers. Although the traditional customized production has many varieties, but the regulation mode is small, the cost is high and the efficiency is low, many Chinese textile enterprises are discouraged from personalized customization.

"When we talk about how to make personalized customization in the textile industry," said the general manager of the project, Gu Wei Ming said: "the personalized customization system we are making now is to complement each other in these two modes. After placing orders on our personalized customization system, the order information will be decomposed into multiple processes and pushed to each production line, which greatly improves the production efficiency. The system will also replenish shoes in real-time and dynamically based on the change of orders. The order of users is also a supplement to dynamic inventory, so that the cost can be reduced to the greatest extent.

Moreover, the measuring equipment in our store can help consumers understand the foot shape, foot pressure and gait data, and recommend appropriate shoes and insoles to help consumers correct the foot shape and bad habits of consumers. If shoes can not solve the problem, consumers can also borrow the value-added health care services to eliminate health risks.

Overall, although there are still some problems in the industry as a whole, it can still be seen that China's textile industry is moving towards intelligent and digitalized pformation smoothly.

With the gradual increase of export volume, China's textile industry will have more rapid progress and development after that.
