Looking back on 2022 and forging ahead in 2023 | Lin Yunfeng: Knitting companies must improve their internal skills to boost the industrial economy

Since 2022, affected by the complex and severe domestic and international situations and multiple unexpected factors, the growth rate of production and sales in my country’s knitting industry has shown an overall slowdown trend. The pressure on corporate profitability has become more prominent, and the industry has been under pressure to move forward.

The knitting industry is smart and green

The characteristics of intensive development are remarkable

Although the development of enterprises has been subject to various constraints, the pace of enterprise innovation and change has not stopped. In the past year, the development of the knitting industry has also shown new characteristics and trends.

The application of digital technology is accelerating, and the industry’s intelligentization process is accelerating. With the in-depth development of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, especially in the face of the serious impact of the epidemic on offline physical channels, the rapid rise in labor costs, and the changes in consumer consumption behavior, companies have obvious awareness of digitalization and their willingness to implement it. promote. Enterprises focus on the two main lines of intelligent equipment technology and intelligent production and operation management to go hand in hand and cross-integrate. A large number of digital workshops, smart factory benchmark enterprises and industrial brain digital public service platforms have emerged, and an online and offline omni-channel integrated development has initially formed. A new marketing landscape.

Green development has achieved remarkable results, and positive progress has been made in water conservation, efficiency improvement, energy conservation and carbon reduction. The national “dual carbon strategy” is accelerating, and green and sustainable development has gradually become an industry consensus. In order to better adapt to changes in the consumer market, companies have accelerated the research and development of green technologies and products, improved their green product supply capabilities, and promoted green transformation throughout the product life cycle. A large number of greenenvironmentally friendlynew equipment,new materials, new technologies, and new processes have achieved breakthroughs. Taking the 2022/2023 knitted productfashion trends released by the China Knitting Industry Association as an example, a total of 77 companies applied for 351 samples. Among them, the number of companies applying for green sustainable fabric samples Accounting for more than 80%, the number of green and sustainable products accounts for as high as 66%.

　Industrial Clusters The scale and quality of regulated enterprises have been significantly improved, and intensification, specialization and branding have been accelerated. . According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of 2021, China’s knitting industry has 35 industrial clusters licensed by China Textile Council, with a total of about 55,000 enterprises. The main business income has increased by 17.5% year-on-year, and the number of enterprises above the cluster regulations accounts for 6.4%. However, the main business revenue accounted for 65.5%, and the export delivery value accounted for 69.1%. As various industrial clusters implement the “three products” strategy in depth, vigorously support design, research and development, cultural and creative industries, and promote the development of industries from processing and manufacturing to fashion and branding, a fashion system for the coordinated development of manufacturing brands, regional brands, and consumer brands has initially been formed. .

China Acupuncture Association develops diversified businesses

Promote industrial development to a new level

Facing the complex and severe domestic and international situations, the China Knitting Industry Association has always been guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and has taken multiple measures around “technology, fashion, and green” to boost industry confidence and promote high quality in the industry. develop.

First, strengthen industry research, industry segmentation analysis and industry development situation analysis, provide timely reference for the government and industry, and strive for policy support for enterprises;

The second is to strengthen fashion research, research and release the 2023 Chinese knitting yarn fashion trends, Chinese knitted product fashion trends, Chinese hosiery fashion trends, and launch the 8th “Puyuan Cup” PH Value Chinese Knitting Designer Competition to lead the knitting industry Industry fashion development;

The third is to promote the construction of standards and formulate 9 group standards such as “Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Anhydrous Dyeing Knitted Clothing” to help the sustainable development of the industry;

The fourth is to strengthen scientific and technological innovation support capabilities, promote the China Knitted Product Innovation R&D Alliance, establish an innovation collaboration mechanism, and promote upstream and downstream academic exchanges and industrial services. Promote the completion of multiple rounds of product development for viscose filament knitted products, and carry out research on the application of Sorona® in the field of warp knitting, knitting Carbon emission analysis and carbon emission reduction research during the dyeing and finishing process of materials.

The fifth is to organize the national textile industry “Rifa Cup” weft knitting workers vocational skills competition and the third “Datang Cup” international sock industry machinery and equipment competition to strengthen high-quality skills in the industryTalentTeam building;

Sixth, we overcame the pressure of the epidemic, held the fourth/fifth enlarged meeting of the executive directors of the seventh session of the China Knitting Industry Association, hosted the first “China·Chaoshan International Textile and Clothing Expo” and the third Haining Socks Fair, smoothed market channels, and improved Boost industry confidence.

The 20th National Congress provides guidance for the knitting industry to consolidate its industrial advantages

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China opened a new chapter in Chinese-style modernization and provided fundamental guidance for the future development of China’s knitting industry. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that we should adhere to the theme of promoting high-quality development and organically combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with deepening supply-side structural reform. This provides a new opportunity for the knitting industry to consolidate its leading position in advantageous industries and deeply integrate into dual cycle development.The pattern provides policy guidance.

On the one hand, affected by the epidemic of the century and international geopolitical conflicts, the global supply chain is undergoing profound adjustments and reconstruction, from global layout to regional layout, and industrial transfer around regional agreementsBecome an important direction for supply chain adjustment. On the other hand, my country’s per capita GDP has reached US$12,500, putting it at the forefront of middle-income countries. There are nearly 400 million people in the middle-income group. my country’s domestic consumption has entered a stage of quality improvement and upgrading. From the external situation to the endogenous driving force, my country’s knitting industry is required to strengthen technological innovation and accelerate its jump to the middle and high end of the global value chain. We must thoroughly implement the “three products” strategy to “increase varieties, improve quality, and create brands” and promote high-quality development of the industry through supply-side structural reforms to meet the people’s growing demand for a better life. At the same time, we must focus on the “One Belt and One Road” and RCEP to carry out the international layout of productivity and select opportunities to carry out mergers and acquisitions of overseas R&D institutions and international brands, making full use of both domestic and foreign markets and two resources to maintain global leadership in the industry.

Looking forward to 2023, with the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies, the economy will be affected by the epidemic in the short term. However, with the emergence of the turning point of the epidemic, the implementation of various national policies to stabilize growth, especially the “Strategic Planning Outline for Expanding Domestic Demand” (2022 -2035), the economy is expected to rebound quickly in the second half of the year; in overseas markets, the IMF has lowered its global economic growth forecast in 2023 from 2.9% to 2.7%, and it is expected that global consumption capacity and willingness are being impacted. Based on the above factors, the domestic market of the knitting industry is expected to see rapid growth in 2023, while exports are facing downward pressure due to shrinking external demand and high base effects. Enterprises need to focus on their main business, pay attention to cash flow, maintain financial health, and be prepared to deal with the risks caused by the impact of the epidemic in the first half of the year. At the same time, enterprises must increase technological innovation, increase the added value of products, accelerate the application of digital technology, reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve rapid response capabilities and their own competitiveness, and seize strategic policy opportunities to expand domestic demand.
