It is also a brand new five years for the Chinese clothing industry to start a new journey of building a fashion power. At present and for a period of time in the future, my country's garment industry is facing both new development opportunities and many challenges. In the new period of development, my country's apparel industry must clarify the industry's position and positioning in the new era, clarify the tasks and missions for future development, gather development forces inside and outside the industry, and push the construction of a clothing power to a new height.

The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of China's Garment Industry" is based on the analysis and conclusions of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Outline of Long-Term Goals for 2035" and the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the Textile Industry" On the basis of the current situation of the industry development and the situation facing the "14th Five-Year Plan", the research puts forward the development vision of the industry in 2035, as well as the current development direction, development goals and key tasks, in order to play a positive role in guiding the development of the industry.

1. The development status of China's garment industry

(1) Development effectiveness

Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s apparel industry has achieved rapid development.

(2) Existing problems and shortcomings

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, although the industry has entered a stage of high-quality development, objectively, there is still a big gap between China's clothing industry and the requirements of the international advanced fashion power and my country's new development pattern. This is mainly reflected in the following Aspects:

High-end manufacturing capabilities need to be improved. The innovation capability of the industrial base and the achievement conversion rate need to be improved, the R&D investment intensity is insufficient, the major original innovations are insufficient, and the high-end manufacturing lacks solid industry support. The company's long-term strategic focus and craftsmanship are still insufficient, and the level of lean manufacturing and lean management still needs to be improved. The weakness of high-end product development and manufacturing capabilities has led to insufficient core competitiveness of the company.

Cultural and creative capabilities need to be strengthened urgently. The industrial culture innovation system represented by corporate culture, brand culture, and fashion culture needs to be improved urgently, especially the insight and analysis of contemporary lifestyle changes, the absorption and application of the world’s diverse cultures, the contemporary expression of Chinese excellent culture and Chinese fashion culture The expression and construction of attitudes and propositions are in urgent need of cultural creativity. Strengthen cultural heritage and fashion originality, give the industry new connotation and value, continue to build the mainstream discourse influence of fashion, and greatly enhance cultural leadership, which can fundamentally enhance brand value creativity.

There are insufficient talent support capabilities. With the continuous superposition of information infrastructure, new manufacturing methods, and business models, new technologies, new formats, and new mechanisms continue to emerge. The structure and quality of industry talents cannot fully meet the needs of high-quality development of the industry in the new era. Leading talents and high-end innovative talents in the industry And the shortage of high-quality professional talents and high-skilled talents, especially the structural shortage of compound talents has become increasingly prominent. Only by continuously advancing the construction of a multi-level talent development system can the overall foundation and level of industrial development be fundamentally improved.

Collaborative innovation needs to be continuously strengthened. The synergy efficiency between the industrial chains is low, and the phenomenon of the failure to effectively and seamlessly link is more obvious, which restricts the effective use of the industry's collaborative innovation potential and rapid response capabilities. The integration of the industrial chain has a strong realistic urgency, especially through the expansion of the internal flexibility of the enterprise organization to the external collaboration, and the establishment of a systemic and efficient symbiotic relationship with upstream and downstream, resource-related parties, and the realization of collaborative value, which can effectively promote the integration of the entire industry. The restructuring of the innovation system will vigorously enhance and enhance the overall functions and comprehensive competitiveness of the industry.

Sustainable development needs to deepen vigorously. The awareness of sustainable development needs to be further strengthened, to create a better company for the world with brand-new development concepts and development values, and to assign social responsibilities, values, and beliefs to products and brands, and to be rooted in corporate culture, values, and vision , To build a new system of sustainable fashion development, to achieve warm and respected enterprises, to reflect the value of the times of industrial responsibility, and to contribute to the commercial civilization and innovation of the global apparel industry.

These problems involve multiple levels and fields of the industry. There are not only the basic old problems accumulated by the industry for many years, but also the new contradictions encountered in the innovation and development of the new era, which to a large extent restrict the construction of the industry and the high-quality development. The level of this issue urgently needs to be resolved during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

2. Development Situation of the "14th Five-Year Plan"

At present and in the future, despite the impact of the adjustment of the world economy and political structure and the global epidemic, unilateralism and protectionism have emerged in some countries. The international multilateral trading system has encountered obstacles. Methods and kinetic energy have entered a period of deep interweaving, and the external development environment has become more complex and changeable. However, as a fully market-oriented and innovative industry, the overall opportunities of my country's apparel industry far outweigh the challenges, and the industry has entered a new and important period of strategic opportunities.

my country's modernization of the country drives new market demands. On the basis of building a well-off society in an all-round way, my country has embarked on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. The endogenous driving force for economic growth has been further strengthened. Unbalanced
