Apparel / Textiles & Accessories

In recent years, how the textile industry is going, the companies in the upper and lower reaches of the industrial chain can be said to be drinking water and knowing how cold they are. The purchase price of a variety of raw materials has been rising or falling endlessly. In addition, the increasing pressure of factory rents and freight costs and environmental storms has caused the upstream and downstream to appear in a two-day situation of ice and fire.

With the elimination of the production capacity of water jet looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the news of the transfer of the weaving industry has been exposed since the past few years. The news that 80,000 water jet looms were imported into Siyang that year has also become a reality today. The trend of the transfer of the entire textile industry has been Unstoppable.

The Jiangsu-Zhejiang cluster is under pressure again, and the output of Siyang in northern Jiangsu has increased by nearly 20%

According to statistics from various cluster regions, in the first half of 2021, the total output of chemical fiber filament fabrics in Shengze, Xiuzhou, Longhu, Siyang, Pingwang, Keqiao, and Dafeng Xiaohai was 11.208 billion meters, a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. The situation continues to recover, but due to factors such as the epidemic and industrial relocation, it has not yet returned to the same period in 2019, and production has fallen by an average of 4.09% in two years.

Longhu and Siyang regions performed well, with filament fabrics achieving a two-year average positive growth. On the one hand, the increase in production in Siyang is due to the fact that as a transfer recipient of the filament weaving industry, new plants in Siyang have been put into operation in recent years, and the production capacity has been gradually expanded; on the other hand, the products produced in Siyang are mainly home textile fabrics, which is more affected by the epidemic. Small. The Longhu area is mainly made of outdoor sports and cold-proof clothing fabrics. Due to the influence of the season and the rise of "fitness fever", the output has increased significantly.

The Dark Horse in Northern Jiangsu: 80,000 water jets have been launched into Siyang

Shuyang's output value will reach 100 billion yuan in 4 years

Siyang seemed to "break into" China's textile industry matrix overnight and became the sixth largest sector of China's textile industry, with a share of more than one-fifth of the six major sectors. Yan Weifang, Deputy Secretary of the Siyang County Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Wujiang Siyang Industrial Park, introduced: "Siyang's rise from a little-known textile depression to the highland of the national textile industry originated from the important decision of the provincial party committee and the provincial government to "join north and south" Xu Qinzhong, secretary of the Siyang County Party Committee, said that since 2008, Siyang has made full use of its own advantages and industrial positioning in the process of "South-North Joint Construction", actively responding to Wujiang's industrial support and project transfer, and consolidating efforts to build a textile industry-based " Wujiang Siyang Industrial Park".

It is understood that since the construction of Tuoyuan, 23 high-quality projects have newly attracted high-end textile, intelligent equipment and new material industries, with a total planned investment of 34.8 billion yuan, of which 10 projects are over 1 billion yuan. Guowang Hi-Tech and Karen The four projects including new materials have planned a total investment of 26.008 billion yuan. It is estimated that after reaching production capacity, it can achieve sales income of 50 billion yuan, tax payment of 1.2 billion yuan, and create more than 20,000 jobs.

In addition, Shuyang, which is separated from Siyang, is also vigorously developing the textile industry. At present, according to Shi Jingfeng, member of the Standing Committee of the Shuyang County Party Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Economic Development Zone, and Deputy Director of the Management Committee, Shuyang has more than 180 regulated textile companies and has formed three major industrial sectors: covered yarn, smart knitting, and special home textiles. , "Shuyang Textile" has also become a distinctive regional brand. Shi Jingfeng said that in the future, Shuyang Textile will start from the aspects of increasing varieties, improving quality, creating brands, intelligence, and informatization, looking for missing items in the industrial chain, building a global industrial chain, and promoting the industrial value chain from pure production to " The “smiling curve” extends at both ends to increase the overall profit margin of the industrial chain. Strive to reach 100 billion yuan in output value of the textile industry by 2025 and form Shuyang's iconic industrial cluster.

The export of textile and apparel in the central and western regions increased by more than 100%

Under the pressure of environmental protection and cost, Jiangsu and Zhejiang textile companies are busy taking a breather?

While the output of important industrial clusters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is shrinking, the share of clothing exports is also declining! Since the beginning of this year, garment exports in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have not recovered to the scale of 19 years, but the export performance of the central and western provinces and cities has been outstanding. According to statistics, from January to May, Guangdong’s total clothing exports surpassed Zhejiang Province and returned to the top position, with a year-on-year increase of 78.8%, exceeding the national average growth rate and accounting for more than one-fifth of the country. Zhejiang and Jiangsu increased by 28.5% and 29.3% respectively, while Shandong and Fujian increased by 54.6% and 63.2% respectively. The exports of Hebei, Jiangxi, and Hubei in the central provinces and cities have grown rapidly, with growth rates exceeding 100%.

Compared with the same period in 2019, garment exports in Guangdong, Shandong and Fujian increased by 19.7%, 37% and 25.4% respectively. Zhejiang and Jiangsu have not yet recovered their export scale in 2019, and they are still down by 1.8% and 0.7% respectively compared with the same period in 2019.

On the other hand, in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in recent years, environmental protection has almost become a tight curse for textile companies. In the post-epidemic era, various regions of the country have recently carried out environmental protection rectification enterprises again, especially the environmental protection requirements of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are becoming more and more stringent. The survival pressure of enterprises is also increasing. At the same time, the challenges of Southeast Asian trade and the rapid pursuit of textile production capacity in the central and western regions have led to overcapacity and other factors. The situation of textile enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still has a long way to go.

China's textile industry is entering a new stage of industrial migration and industrial transformation. With a large number of textile enterprises moving in, one after another textile high-tech projects have also continued to land in the central and western regions, and the textile industry in northern Jiangsu and central and western regions is entering a new era.

On the other hand, at the same time, many companies and industry insiders have also stated that the sharp rise in ocean freight, the appreciation of the renminbi, and the rising costs of upstream textile yarns, fabrics and products are still important factors that plague the exports of textile companies.

It is foreseeable that the clusters of textile industries along the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coasts must be a big impact, and in the context of increasingly severe environmental protection remediation, the future market competition will be extremely fierce.
