The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of the textile industry will promote the accelerated transformation and upgrading of independent innovation

For ten years, the Chinese textile industry is now at a new node where the old and the new alternate. The forthcoming “chr (34) Twelfth Five-Year Chr (34) Plan of the Textile Industry Industry” was recently approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is reported that the plan will be announced on a daily basis after going through relevant procedures.

According to reports, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, China’s textile industry will use key technology innovation, industrialization of advanced technologies, independent brand building, sustainable development, industrial park planning, industrial layout adjustment, multi-level talent system construction, and corporate mergers and reorganizations. Eight breakthroughs were made to promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.

As the role of technology in the textile industry becomes increasingly important, the textile industry will transform in the next decade, gradually moving from traditional labor-intensive industries to technology-intensive industries.

The biggest highlight of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for industrial textiles is that industrial technological innovation has been given a heavy responsibility, and industrial textiles with a large number of high-tech fibers have also been placed on high hopes.

High-end fiber has become one of the key words for technological innovation. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China will vigorously increase the ability of independent innovation of the textile industry, especially the innovation of key technologies, form an independent innovation system, improve the innovation of fiber technologies such as ultra-spinning, high-spinning, functional and differentiated, and strengthen the contour of carbon fiber. The R&D and innovation of performance fiber materials and R&D of biomass and other renewable resource fiber technologies have gradually narrowed the gap with developed countries.

Industrial textiles, which are closely linked with high technology, will also take the rapidly developing train.

Industrial textiles include 16 categories, such as construction of highways, high-speed railways, geotextiles used in dams for reservoirs, construction membrane materials, medical artificial skin, artificial blood vessels, and even rocket fairings.

Among them, agricultural textiles, medical textiles, sanitary textiles, automotive textiles, and architectural textiles, which are the five areas with the greatest potential for development, will have very broad prospects for development after condensing high-tech processing technologies.

Gao Yong, vice president of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, said in an interview with the media that in the developed countries, the textile industry has formed a “three points of the world” situation, including apparel, home textiles and industrial textiles. Among them, the share of industrial textiles in Japan and Germany is more than 60%, and that in the United States is more than 40%. The proportion of industrial textiles in China has just reached 20% this year, and there will be a very large space for development in the next decade.

According to industry insiders, the industrial textile industry in China is still growing and it is expected to have a market potential of 1 trillion yuan.

The data show that from January to May this year, the three large-scale enterprises in industrial textiles, namely, ropes, cables, cables, textile belts, and cord fabrics, and non-woven fabrics, achieved a sales value of 47.19 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28.8%, and a production and sales rate of 96.6. %. Dongxing Securities expects that the average annual growth rate of China's high-performance fiber industry during the 12th Five-Year Plan period will be between 20% and 25%.

In terms of exports, the value of industrial textiles exported from January to May reached 6.68 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 29.4%. In particular, export unit prices have generally risen.

"No brand is real pain."

It is reported that during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, China will strengthen the construction of its own brand for domestic consumer goods companies such as home textiles and clothing. At the same time, we encourage qualified companies to carry out mergers and reorganizations. Large-scale enterprises will become stronger and bigger, while small and medium-sized enterprises will develop toward specialization, refinement, and specialization.

At the same time, the layout of China's textile industry will also be adjusted, with the coordinated development of the migration of the eastern master to the central and western regions to the eastern, central and western regions. The eastern region develops high-end products, while the western region, which has natural resources such as natural fibers, develops characteristic textile industries, while the huge market in the central region provides textile companies with consumer markets.

After more than ten years of rapid development, China’s status as a world power in the textile industry is unquestionable, but the distance between a big country and a strong country is beyond the bounds of a word. "Great power" is particularly evident in the industry where silk, cashmere and other raw materials are mainly exported in exchange for low costs, low profits and high energy consumption.

China provides more than 90% of silk, cashmere raw materials for the world, including many top foreign luxury brands. From the merchant to the terminal consumer, the profit difference can reach more than ten times. The Chinese textile industry, which has been at the bottom of the industry chain for a long time, tends to “make people’s profits”: it is also the OEM of Fuyao and the OEM.

Meng Fanshen, director of market operations at Haoshi Weixin Investment Co., Ltd., revealed to reporters that the cost and processing fee of an ordinary cashmere sweater is about 600 yuan to 800 yuan, but there are only one million yuan for the OEM to go back to China and then return to China. "This is the brand gap."

Wu Jianhua, general manager of Jiangsu Wujiang Dingsheng Silk, said that this year's export situation has become increasingly severe, can no longer be satisfied with the export of low value-added raw materials, "can not be willing to do for others", only fabric innovation and brand cultivation can make the company based on invincible position. "The same fabrics, our guests changed hands, the price is ten times more expensive than the original, we are not worse than others, no brand is the real pain."

Perhaps relying on psychological factors, the export enterprises at the beginning of China's accession to the WTO won the world market by low-cost raw materials, but they have no time to improve their quality and brand. This road is a decade away.

Especially in recent years, "money shortage", "electricity shortage", "labor shortage" and "high cost" and "high tax burden" have come one after another and are eroding the profits of China's textile industry. With the rise of domestic costs, the path of China's textile export products to market at low prices has gone further and narrower.

Compared with developed countries, China's textile and apparel industry has a far-reaching gap in brand accumulation, which is hard to predict. The garment processing industry with traditional advantages is also facing more low-price competition from Southeast Asian countries. To solve the difficult problem, we must increase the added value of products, build brand, and complete the change from quantity to quality.
