Development Of China's Wool Textile Industry In 2012

This year, China's GDP growth rate has hit a new low in recent years. Economics The pace of development has slowed down and the global economic situation has not been clear. The wool textile industry is facing the situation of insufficient domestic sales and weak external demand, and the operation of the industry continues downward. The development of wool textile industry in 2012 has experienced an unprecedented slowdown, which has become a very difficult year for the development of the industry. In the face of difficulties, wool textile enterprises are expanding their demand areas, strengthening exchanges and cooperation, and so on, in terms of product innovation and technological progress. brand We should continue to take positive measures to further develop the wool textile industry.

　 Operation --

Development slowdown

Investment growth

Slowdown in production growth

Important data: in the 1~9 months of this year, the main wool textile products maintained a small increase, but the growth rate slowed down compared with the same period last year. The production of wool yarn in Enterprises above designated size increased by 3.84% compared with the same period last year, an increase slightly higher than that in the first half of the year, and the production of woollen goods increased by 1.39% year-on-year, representing a decrease of 1.43 percentage points compared with the first half of the year.

Cause analysis: in the first three quarters of this year, China's GDP growth rate has reached a new low in recent years, slowing down the pace of economic development, and the global economic situation has not been clear. Wool spinning The industry is faced with the situation of insufficient domestic sales and weak external demand, and the operation of the industry continues to show downward trend. Therefore, since the three quarter, the wool textile industry's growth momentum has not recovered.

Investment growth accelerated

Important data: in 1~9 months, the gross textile and dyeing finishing enterprises actually completed investment of 17 billion 31 million yuan, an increase of 47.47% over the same period last year, 11.33 percentage points faster than the first half of this year. According to the data released by the National Bureau of statistics, up to now, the total number of construction projects above designated size has been 182, down 34.77% compared with the same period last year. The number of new construction projects was 127, which was 38.05% lower than the same period last year. As of the end of September, the number of completed projects has been 85, down 29.75% from the same period last year, accounting for 46.70% of the total number of construction projects.

Cause analysis: all of the above data indicate that industry investment projects are progressing well. This is because, under the situation of slowing economic development, many domestic wool textile enterprises have begun to transform and upgrade, and invest more in product innovation, brand building and science and technology projects. Increasing investment in equipment automation and other assets has also injected a certain impetus for the development of the wool textile industry.

Domestic sales drop month by month

Important data: the gross industrial output value and sales value of the enterprises above 1~9 gross scale of wool textile and dyeing finishing were 149 billion 642 million yuan and 143 billion 174 million yuan, respectively, increasing by 8.68% and 7.35% compared with the same period last year. The rate of increase was obviously slower than that of last year, and the growth rate was basically the same as that of 1~6 month. The production and sale rate of wool textile and dyeing finishing enterprises reached 95.67%%, 1.11 percentage points lower than that of last year.

Since the beginning of this year, the growth rate of domestic wool textile has obviously slowed down, showing a trend of decreasing month by month. In the three quarter, the gross domestic product output value of the above scale wool textile and dyeing finishing processing enterprises increased by 7.53% year-on-year, the decline was basically flat compared with the first half of the year, the growth rate dropped by about 18.42 percentage points year-on-year, and the domestic sales value accounted for 87.25% of the total sales value. It shows that the domestic market, which is the main driving force for the operation of the industry, is obviously insufficient in development and directly affects the operation quality of the industry.

In 1~9, the sales of main wool textile products in the domestic retail market increased. The sales of men's suits in key large department stores increased by 4.50% over the same period last year, and the growth rate dropped by 4.70 percentage points. The sales of cashmere sweaters and sweaters decreased by 13.56% compared to the same period last year, down 10.59 percentage points.

Analysis of the reasons: the domestic retail market of wool textile products has dropped rapidly because of the lack of retail market demand, and on the other hand, the diversification of sales channels has also reduced the market share of department stores' sales products. {page_break}

Exports continue to weaken

Important data: deceleration is obvious this year. In 1~9 months, the total value of export delivery reached 18 billion 261 million yuan, which increased by 6.14% compared with the same period last year, although it was obviously higher than the growth rate of the export value of textile industry in the same period, but it decreased by 17.10 percentage points over the same period last year.

The total import and export volume of major woolen textiles in the 1~9 months was 12 billion 483 million US dollars, down 3.08% from the same period last year, and imports and exports all declined year-on-year, with exports of US $9 billion 158 million, down 3.06% from the same period last year, and imports of US $3 billion 325 million, down 3.10% from the same period last year, and the pace of import and export slowdown continues.

Exports of almost all categories of products showed negative growth in exports. The number of wool products exported from upstream products fell rapidly, down 31.27% compared with the same period last year, but wool fabrics were slightly better than the first half of the year, showing a slight increase, up 1.05% over the same period last year. In the end, the export of products still maintained a relatively rapid decline, while wool woven garments fell by 17.19%, sweaters fell by 17.64%, and carpets also showed negative growth.

Analysis of the reasons: this year the export market continues to show a weak trend. From the export market, the main export destination market, the EU, the United States and South Korea, the decline is larger than the average decline in exports, exports to ASEAN have maintained a slight increase, the growth rate has dropped considerably over the same period last year. All these indicate that the terminal market demand of international wool products is sluggish. In addition, some of the products are sent to low cost countries, and some of our yarn and fabric products are exported to low cost countries to meet the needs of their industrial chain matching.

　 Development --

Technology boost

Innovation-driven development

Strengthening exchanges and cooperation

Typical events: on September 13th ~15, the twenty-fourth China International Wool Textile raw material trading information conference held in Sanya, the representatives of Chinese wool textile industry chain related enterprises and more than 10 countries from all over the world exchanged these topics. Under the meticulous organization of the wool market in Nanjing, more than 400 wool textile circles at home and abroad learn from each other, seek cooperation and seek common development. Facing the difficult situation, building confidence, rationally facing the depressed market, actively exploiting the application field of wool fiber, and sincere cooperation between the upstream and downstream industries chain and realizing the sustainable development of the industry have become the consensus of the participants.

During the meeting, the China Australia wool joint working group held the signing ceremony of "China Australia purchase of wool, wash wool, carbonized wool, wool and other general transaction terms". Xu Wenying, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, said that the signing of the new terms has milestone significance in the history of Chinese and Australian wool trade, making up for the need for updating trade rules after the change of trade environment. It is easier to understand and facilitate operation, and will better safeguard the interests of buyers and sellers in China and Australia in the future. At the same time, the new terms are in line with China's actual conditions, close to the terms of the International Wool Textile Organization, and more conducive to the promotion of other major wool trading countries in China.

Editor's comment: at present, China is the world's largest buyer of wool. Australia is the world's largest supplier of wool. China imports Australian wool annually, which accounts for 80% of Australia's wool exports. Over the past two years, the China Australia wool joint working group has carried out effective consultations on the changes in the pattern of wool trade, and reached a consensus on establishing a long-term and effective communication channel between the two industry organizations and institutions and solving the problem dialogue mechanism, safeguarding the legitimate interests of both sides and stabilizing the wool trade. The cooperation between China and Australia in the wool industry will promote the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the wool trade between the two countries and jointly promote the wool industry of the two countries.

Expanding consumer demand

Typical event: in March 28th, the Chinese wool movement launched by Prince Charles in Shanghai officially launched. In October 24th, an important event of the wool Sports China station was held in the Bund, Shanghai, with the modern wool art exhibition held in 18. The art exhibition breaks the traditional image of wool fiber and builds a new display platform for wool in the twenty-first Century. The wool movement aims to promote the benefits of natural fiber and wool to the world, and encourage the use of wool in various industries such as fashion, interior design and construction, so as to create an environmental concept of natural green living environment. Because of China's economic growth and the rise of the fashion industry, China has also become an important stop for wool sports. {page_break}

Editor's comment: wool is a natural, renewable and biodegradable fiber. It is an excellent sustainable fiber. The wool campaign initiated by Prince Charles is attracting more and more consumers' attention to wool. Nowadays, the wool movement entering China will make people more like this ancient and mysterious textile raw material, and stimulate the domestic demand of the wool textile industry, so that China is not only the largest wool processing country, but also a big country of wool consumption.

Enhance brand awareness

Typical events: in November 20th, the seminar on the development of wool textile industry in Litong District, Wuzhong City, Ningxia Dragon Textile Industry Bureau Director said that it was not allowed to appear the name of "sheep's cashmere" product and resolutely refused to allow the phenomenon of wool filling. For sheep wool after carding, the standard name should be "carding wool". If there are enterprises in Ningxia that use the name of "sheep's cashmere" products, the Ningxia Bureau of light and textile industry will give a notification within the scope of the autonomous region and blacklist it.

Ningxia province will strengthen the management of the wool textile industrial park in the future, conscientiously implement the measures for the supervision and management of the quality of wool and the wool standard of Ningxia carding sheep, so as to prevent the fuzz of wool and the occurrence of wool filling phenomenon, protect the healthy development of the cashmere industry, and guide and promote the orderly development of the wool textile industry.

Editor's comment: in recent years, the cashmere industry in Ningxia has risen rapidly, and has developed into a distributing center for raw materials circulation and an important production base for cashmere products in China and even in the world. Cashmere industry has also become a "gold card" of Ningxia. Ningxia's move shows that the domestic cashmere market has begun to pay attention to the brand effect, and it will also enhance the brand value of Ningxia cashmere.

Strive to innovate products

Typical events: in November, the thirty-second national wool textile annual meeting and the "new product evaluation" of "Wei Er Jia" were held in Ningbo, Zhejiang. A total of 181 entries were evaluated, including 122 worsted fabrics and 59 woolen fabrics. After the selection of the jury, 5 excellent design awards, 12 first prize, two prize 43, three prize 30 were finally awarded. The first prize winners were Jiangsu sunshine group, Shandong Jining Ruyi wool textile Limited by Share Ltd, Ningbo YOUNGOR wool textile dyeing and finishing Co., Lanzhou Lanzhou Sam Mao Industrial Limited by Share Ltd, Jiangsu arrow deer wool textile Limited by Share Ltd, Jiangsu Shenzhou wool spinning Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu keno Polytron Technologies Inc.

Editor's comment: in recent years, the development situation of high cost and low profit in processing and manufacturing industry is becoming more and more obvious. Textile industry is most obvious. Wool textile is no exception as traditional textile industry. How to highlight the tight encirclement under the new situation, so that the ancient wool is revitalized, has become the focus of the industry has been exploring. Innovative products are effective ways to increase the added value of products. The product "you have everything I have" means homogeneous competition, and profits may be "no one"; and innovation products and differentiated development will bring about the situation of "people without me" and create a fist product for enterprises to make profits. And constantly innovating and constantly leading the market, the competitive power will continue to accumulate.

Speed up scientific and technological progress

Typical events: in November 29th, "textile lights" 2012 China Textile Industry Federation's science and technology progress award was presented in Beijing. The key technology development and industrialization of natural ecological multifunctional high-grade woollen fabrics jointly completed by Hai Lan group Co., Donghua University, and keno Polytron Technologies Inc (Jiangsu garment engineering technology research center); the "low energy consumption and low damage production technology and industrialization of wool knitted fabrics" completed by Shanghai Jialin Jie textile Limited by Share Ltd; the Erdos Cashmere Refco Group Ltd Engineering Research Center, Inner Mongolia Fiber Inspection Bureau and the national Plush quality supervision and inspection center, jointly completed the three items of "GSB-2262-2008 atlas fiber appearance profile", and won two awards for scientific and technological progress. {page_break}

Editor's comment: the key technology research and industrialization project of natural ecological multi-functional high-grade Woollen Textiles is developed from the perspective of environmental protection, safety and sustainable development. The natural eco multifunctional high-grade woollen fabric is developed. The key technology of the plant source is the wool finishing agent which combines the moth proofing and health care functions and its ecological dyeing and finishing.

Wool knitted fabric low energy consumption and low damage production technology and industrialization project has developed wool knitted fabric low energy consumption and low damage production technology, and has formed the core and integrated innovation in the knitted fabric design, dyeing and finishing technology and other aspects. The overall technology is at the advanced level of the country, and has applied for 2 invention patents. At present, the industrialization application of these projects has begun. I believe that through the combination of production, learning and research, the vitality of science and technology can be injected into the wool textile industry and the industry will make overall progress.

Strengthen regional development

Typical events: in November 4th of this year, the fashion conference of 2013/2014 autumn and winter China (Dalang) knitted apparel was held in the Da Mao textile trade center. As the highlight of the weaving competition, 2013/2014 autumn and winter fashion conference on China's (Dalang) woolen garments has provided a comprehensive guide for local designers and Chinese and foreign businessmen from popular colors and fashion styles.

In 2009, Dalang won the China Fashion Color Association to award the only "China sweater fashion trend publishing base" plaque. Since then, Dalang has been working with the China Fashion Color Association two times a year to release the fashion trend of sweaters in the next two seasons, bringing the latest international fashion information and design concepts to enterprises. Through constant renovation and innovation, the fashion press conference of woolen garments has become an authoritative platform for previewing Chinese wool fashion, showing the fashion of Chinese wool knitting products to the world.

Editorial comment: the production cost of wool knitting industry has been improving, especially the cost of labor. Wool knitting industry, as a typical labor-intensive industry in the textile industry, has always been faced with many problems, such as excessive employment and poor efficiency. As a famous town of wool knitting industry, Dalang has a complete industrial chain from yarn to product, from product to sale. In the face of this year's difficulties, we should actively develop regional independent brands, seize the opportunity of transformation and upgrading of the industry, promote the improvement of efficiency through brand development, and enhance cooperation with all parties to enhance the market competitiveness of wool knitting products, thus achieving the healthy and stable development of our region and industry.

　　 The future --

Increase of efficiency

Achieve recovery

The development of wool textile industry in 2012 has experienced an unprecedented slowdown, which has become a very difficult year for the development of the industry. Faced with heavy pressure, it is expected that the development trend of the industry next year is also difficult to improve. Whether the industry can achieve recovery is still affected by the following factors.

The first is wool price and market demand. For the future trend of wool prices, we must return to fundamentals. The price of wool is a game between demand and output. If demand continues to fall, it will undoubtedly cast a shadow over China's wool textile industry next year.

The second is whether we can resolve the increasing cost pressure. In recent years, the rapid rise in costs has always been a major problem for enterprises. Labor costs have increased by more than 10% in recent years. Exchange rate volatility has further increased the operational risk of enterprises. The rising cost of enterprises has gradually lost the comparative advantage of China's wool textile industry. Not only the competition among enterprises in the industry has intensified, but also the international competitiveness has weakened. The international market share of some products is being replaced by the countries with lower labor costs, which is a problem that the wool textile industry has to face in the future. In addition to facing the difficult problem of raising labor costs, environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction are also a difficult problem for the wool textile industry. And wool fiber's reputation in this area is not very good, which is very unfavorable to the development of the market. Only the whole industry chain of wool spinning industry attaches importance to this problem, can it transform from solving local problems to upgrading the whole industrial chain.

Third, the impact of the macro situation. The complex internal and external environment has a profound impact on the development of wool textile enterprises' business activities. This year, the domestic and international market's weakness has not improved, and next year's situation is also difficult to improve. The government's response policies and the resulting tense political situation are deeply locked in the global economy and development, which has a great impact on the demand for woollen products.
