Under the new situation and new pattern, how can the textile industry achieve mutual benefit and win-win?

In the past two years, the world has changed more than expected, and the global textile and apparel supply chain has also been undergoing drastic adjustments. At the recently held 2021 China Textile Industry “One Belt, One Road” conference, experts and scholars focused on the “sustainable dual cycle of trade and investment”, based on the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, and accelerated the promotion of domestic demand. The integration of foreign trade has determined the development direction of the textile industry and issued important guidelines.

New situation, new pattern, new development

Building a mutually beneficial and win-win industrial chain in the textile industry

This year marks the 8th anniversary of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. Xu Yingxin, vice president of the ChinaTextile Industry Federation and president of the Textile Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that the global textile industry is closely connected. After eight years of hard work, China The textile and garment industry has become a pioneer and demonstration industry for the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, and cooperation along the routes has been fruitful. Since 2000, the total foreign direct investment in China’s textile and apparel industry has exceeded US$11 billion, of which more than 70% has flowed to countries and regions along the “Belt and Road”. Adhering to the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” has become a consensus in the textile industry.

Cao Xuejun, a first-level inspector of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also believes that deepening international cooperation in the textile industry, building a mutually beneficial industrial chain and supply chain, and expanding diversified markets are in line with promoting the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” highQualityThe requirements for development are also the necessary strategies for the development of a strong textile country.

Cao Xuejun suggested that Chinese enterprises should overcome the bottlenecks of factor resources and environmental constraints, enhance the sustainable development capabilities of the industry, and develop from productsgoing out to investment, technology, standards and brands, and open up new market, enhance international operation capabilities, accelerate digital, green, high-end, and service-oriented transformations, leverage the domestic ultra-large-scale market and existing technological advantages, promote dual cycles based on the domestic cycle, and enhance competitiveness in the global industrial supply chain .

Promote the upgrading of the textile industry foundation

Filling the gap in new materials cutting-edge technology

Under the new pattern of “dual cycle”, the textile industry is facing a new stage of development.

Zhao Mingxia, deputy director of the China Textile and Apparel Federation’s Industrial Economics Research Institute, revealed that in the first 20 years of the new century, world fiber consumption increased from more than 50 million tons to 110 million tons, nearly doubled. Of the 110 million tons of fiber consumption in 2020, 36% was industrial textiles. “The fastest-growing total fiber consumption is in China, which shows that the rise of emerging economies and developing countries has driven the growth of demand, but developed countries still occupy a very important position in the entire fiber consumption.”

This requires my country’s textile industry to continuously explore new materials and new material industry chains, and expand new areas through the application of new materials.

The “Textile Industry “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Outline” released in June this year proposed to promote the upgrading of the industrial base. Accelerate breakthroughs in the cutting-edge fields of carbon fiber, para-aramid, polyimide and other high-performance fibers and their composites Technical gaps, promote the research and development of key technologies of bio-based fibers and raw materials and their end product applications.

Gao Yong, Party Secretary and Secretary-General of the China National Textile and Apparel Federation, introduced that the “advanced industrial base” mentioned in the outline focuses on the raw material part, that is, high-tech fibers, mainly focusing on carbon fiber, aramid, etc. “Strive to quickly form a production capacity of 100,000 tons within two to three years, and form three relatively large carbon fiber production capacity clusters in Xining, Baotou, and Jilin.”

Data shows that currently, China’s textile fiber processing volume accounts for more than 50% of the world’s total, and the overall technology of the industry chain has reached the internationally advanced level.

Cao Xuejun pointed out that China’s textile industry showed strong industrial chain advantages during the COVID-19 epidemic and took the lead in resuming work and production.MasksProtective clothing and other epidemic prevention materials quickly formed production capacity and were produced in large quantities font color=”#FF8040″>Exports have made important contributions to the global fight against the epidemic. The proportion of textile and clothing exports has further increased, and it has ranked first among manufacturing powers.

“At the same time, there are still problems such as intensified resource and environmental constraints, weak independent innovation capabilities, and low added value of products,” Cao Xuejun said. “Therefore, it is necessary to enhance independent innovation capabilities and strengthen research on weak areas to achieve industrial foundation. Gentrification.”

Gao Yong also said, “my country’s textile industry structure should shift and tilt towards industrial textiles, and strive to expand production capacity to exceed that of clothing during the 14th Five-Year Plan period or longer.”
