Fabric 2022: As soft as it is, it is as tough
In 2022, my country’s fabric industry will be in some pain, but it does not lack high-gloss performance.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that in the first three quarters of 2022, the industrial added value of textile enterprises above designated size nationwide decreased by 0.4% year-on-year, operating income increased by 3.1% year-on-year, and total profits decreased by 23.6% year-on-year. Although the fabric and other sub-industries in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain are generally operating well, the pace of progress has slowed down significantly.
The fabric industry is very tough. Just like the words of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the book “The Black Swan Effect”: “Some things benefit from shocks when exposed to volatility, randomness, chaos and stress, risk and uncertainty In times of crisis, they can thrive and grow.” In every crisis, there is an opportunity. In order to dispel the clouds and fog in the process of industry change, fabric companies have new ideas in their “overt and covert struggles”, starting from the creation ofnew productsTo digital technology, from functionality to informatization, we try to find ways to deal with them, and we are not willing to lag behind…
Innovative products emerge in endlessly
In the context of intensifying competitive pressure, innovation is still the key word for fabric companies.
If the sudden COVID-19 epidemic three years ago pushed the accelerator button on the research and development of antibacterial fabrics, then this year’s adjustment in epidemic prevention and control policies has made antibacterial fabrics “orange red” again.
In the second half of this year, antibacterial fabrics will be revived. Soochow Securities pointed out that there are currently 31 listed textile and apparel companies deploying anti-viral and anti-bacterial patents and products.
Among related companies, Shenzhen Anner Co., Ltd. is undoubtedly the one that has received the most attention from the market. Since the beginning of November this year, Anair has received a total of 7 rounds of institutional surveys, and has repeatedly talked about the situation of “anti-viral and anti-bacterial” fabrics in the survey records, such as “the company’s exclusive anti-viral and anti-bacterial fabrics can disinfect enveloped products” Viruses and various bacteria, fungi, etc.” “Electron beam grafting technology has the characteristics of broad spectrum, long-term effect and safety. It is effective against all enveloped viruses, bacteria and fungi, and it is still effective even if the virus mutates.” The company is currently building an anti-viral and antibacterial fabric production line and is expected to be able to mass-produce it early next year. “We are currently negotiating with many companies in adult apparel, medical health, medical hospital, cleaning, school uniforms, etc.”…
The product has not yet been mass-produced, but the stock price has surged first, including Shandong Ruyi Technology Group Co., Ltd. Ruyi Group’s antibacterial and antiviral machine-washable wool worsted fabric patent specification shows that the fabric is characterized by the preparation of graphene wool worsted woven fabric, functional water-based polyurethane emulsion and silver ions in the inner, middle and outer layers of the fabric respectively. Antibacterial and antiviral layer, and said that the fabric not only has safe and permanent antibacterial and antiviral functions through the interaction of the inner, inner and outer three-layer mechanisms, but also has far-infrared and anti-static functions.
Zhongwang Fabric Co., Ltd. also stated on the interactive platform that the company applied for a patent for “an anti-fouling and anti-virus warm fabric” this year. At present, Zhongwang Fabric’s anti-fouling and anti-viral fabrics have obtained a patent certificate in July 2022 and are currently in the process of commercialization.
The elastic fabric market also contains unlimited business opportunities.
As a high-tech enterprise specializing in outdoor sports and urban sports fabrics, Jiangsu Sanfeng Special Materials Technology Co., Ltd. adheres to technological innovation as its leadership. It is understood that the ice-feel Vita fabric launched by the company this year has been widely recognized by the market.
Wu Wanyu, manager of the company, said that the fabric is made of nylon-coated spandex, which has its own cooling gene. It is light, silky, feels good, and has ultra-high elasticity. , efficient recovery after stretching, improving stretchability during exercise. This fabric also combines the titanium muscle foam bionic technology independently developed by Mitutoyo, which allows moisture to be directly eliminated through the spiral channel during human movement, allowing movement to “breathe”. It can be used for skin clothing, jackets, light down jackets, etc. , to achieve comfortable and sustainable sports.
Jinan Yuanshou Knitting Co., Ltd. is actively grasping the fashion trend of knitted fabrics and accelerating towards functionalization and fashion. development in the direction of culture and innovation. This year, the company launched graphene modal silver-plated spandex jersey. This fabric not only has good elasticity, but also has fine texture, smooth feel, comfortable and skin-friendly, high moisture absorption and breathability, and is antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet, and anti-static. The relevant person in charge of the company said: “High value-added fabrics can not only meet the higher-level needs of clothing brands, but also help us obtain higher returns.”
Shaoxing Ruicai Textile Co., Ltd. has a professional fabric development team and works closely with Donghua University and domestic and foreign textile institutions to continue to launch fashionable and textured fabrics. The company’s first product this year is cotton nylon stretch satin fabric. This fabric is made of satin intertwined with 80-count combed long-staple cotton and nylon. The surface of the fabric has an elegant and high-grade luster, soft to the touch and delicate texture. The addition of spandex bringsGet full.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first three quarters of 2022, printing and dyeing enterprises above designated size achieved operating income of 229.639 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.07%; total profits were 8.969 billion yuan , a year-on-year increase of 1.07%. The export data is even more gratifying. According to China Customs statistics, in the first three quarters of 2022, the export quantity of eight major categories of printing and dyeing products was 22.529 billion meters, a year-on-year increase of 9.04%; the export value was US$23.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.91%.
Under the intertwined influence of multiple unfavorable factors, these achievements are obviously hard-won.
Facing the ups and downs of the market, Chen Yulin, chairman of Suzhou Hanta Textile Technology Co., Ltd., seems very calm. The company accounts for 60% of the export market and mainly provides fabrics for international sports brands such as Nike and Adidas. “Orders in the first half of this year have increased compared with last year. One of the reasons is that companies have begun to increase investment in research and development a few years ago, and have transformed into low-carbon and high-end products through technological innovation. While developing degradable materials, they have also and cold protection and other functions are constantly improved.” In Chen Yulin’s view, high-end production capacity will eventually remain in China, and future international competition will be a competition for scientific and technological talents.
Zhejiang Xinmen Textile Co., Ltd. uses practical actions to interpret details is the key to success. Zhao Chunqian, general manager of the company, said that the company does not miss the details of every link, strictly controls the entire process of raw materials, design, technology, inspection, packaging, etc., and has established a strict quality supervision system and a complete supply chain coordination mechanism. Bringing customers a better product and service experience.
“The company does not launch new products frequently, but each product is developed from the perspective of customer needs and consumers to ensure that all aspects of parameters and performance are optimized.” Zhao Chunqian said, relying on his attention to details In order to improve its control capabilities, the company has also further strengthened cooperation with international high-end brands and large-scale conglomerates such as Calvin Klein, J.C. Penney, and Samsung C&T to consolidate the company’s foreign trade market.
“We carry out a series of innovations such as refined management, technological improvement, and product upgrades from top to bottom.” Yu Shaobo, general manager of Zhejiang Baofang Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., said that innovation drives development, and the company seeks changes and innovations in new products. , one of the polyester yarn products has improved the process technology to increase the color yield and saturation of the product color. Although the price has increased by 15%, it is favored by the market.
There is no doubt that the export structure of my country’s fabric industry is changing. The export of high-end products is strong, the trade structure continues to be optimized, and it continues to climb up the value chain. In order to promote my country’s foreign trade enterprises to “go out” as soon as possible and actively expand export business, various policies to stabilize foreign trade continue to be strengthened.
On September 13, the State Council executive meeting clearly proposed supporting guarantee orders to expand the market and strengthen service guarantees such as outbound exhibition participation and negotiation. On September 14, the 2022 National Foreign Trade Work Video and Telephone Conference held by the Ministry of Commerce proposed to unblock the channels for foreign trade companies to obtain orders, support foreign trade companies in ensuring production and contract performance, and cultivate new foreign trade formats, new models, and new growth points.
Major textile foreign trade provinces are also taking active actions. In the same month, the first chartered flight overseas to receive orders from Haining City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, concluded its trip to the Osaka International Living Products Exhibition in Japan. During the exhibition, Haining enterprises exhibited more than 3,800 exhibition samples, received more than 400 merchants, and conducted nearly 200 business negotiations, with the intended transaction amount reaching US$5.1 million.
Although the current overall global demand is not strong, my country’s textile industry exports are expected to maintain a good growth trend with the support of measures such as the fabric industry’s proactive encouragement of companies to go out to participate in conferences, receive orders and secure orders.
The China Printing and Dyeing Industry Association stated that in the next step, relevant enterprises should pay close attention to changes in the international situation and trade environment, be guided by market demand, and continuously optimize production and operation models. , actively expand diversified markets, and continue to improve corporate efficiency and market competitiveness.
