China'S Textile Industry: Pformation After Gorgeous Growth

10 years of growth and 10 years of gratitude.

Behind the high growth brought about by China's accession to the WTO,

The Chinese textile and garment industry, which has always been labeled as the most beneficial industry label of China's accession to the WTO, has indeed failed to meet expectations. It has made a brilliant report card in China's 10th anniversary entry into WTO.

According to statistics, China's textile exports totaled 206 billion 500 million US dollars in 2010, an increase of 75.72% compared with the 117 billion 500 million yuan export volume in 2005, which was 268.75% higher than that of 56 billion dollars in 2000.

Not only is the total export volume doubling, but China's textile industry's position in the global market is "no longer what it used to be".

At present, China's textile exports account for more than 3 of the world's market share.

It is understood that in 2010, China's textile and clothing exports accounted for 32.71% of the global market share, compared with 2000 before the accession to the WTO, China accounted for 15% of the total proportion of Global trade doubled.

While enjoying the substantial increase in numbers, China's international trade frictions also showed a trend of rapid growth. Especially since the outbreak of the international financial crisis, trade protectionism has been constantly warming up, and China has become the main target country of trade protectionism.

However, as the main product of China's export earnings, textile and clothing inevitably fall into the increasingly frequent trade frictions.

According to the data, in 1980~1989, China was accused of anti-dumping accounted for 4.6% of the total number of anti-dumping cases in the world, and 13.2% in 1990~1999. In 2000~2009, China was accused of anti-dumping accounting for 26.3% of the total number of anti-dumping cases in the world, of which 2005~2009 reached 34.7%.

Nevertheless, in the future, the EU is still the most important overseas market for China's textiles and clothing. Under the economic situation of the rising cost of domestic production factors and the dilution of foreign trade profits, it is a severe test for China's textile and clothing trade.

Export rotation

Due to the poor export, many enterprises have begun to shift more energy to expand the domestic market.

The development trend of the entire textile industry will be the idea of expanding domestic sales, which has reached a consensus in the industry.

However, the domestic market trend is not smooth sailing. The soaring prices of raw materials and the continuous increase of labor costs will become the shackles of the development of China's textile industry.

Therefore, China's textile and garment industry can not be blindly exported to domestic market, while expanding the domestic market, the decline of exports should not be too large.

In this regard, Wang Qian, editor in chief of the first textile network, suggested that China should adjust its product mix and export products should gradually move towards the middle and high end in order to avoid more and more.

Adjusting the upgrading of industrial structure is the key.

If we want to break the "internal and external troubles" situation, we must solve the fundamental problem only by adjusting the upgrading of the structure industry and increasing the added value of the products, that is, we must improve the technological content and create the brand.

Li Xuerong, a senior researcher at CIC, pointed out in an interview with the author.

In the changing market, only by improving the ability of product design and innovation and changing the way of production and processing, can enterprises obtain more room for existence.

What is the upgrading of the whole chain including process upgrading, product upgrading, and functional upgrading rather than simple product upgrading? "

Gu Qingliang, a textile economics and management research center of Donghua University, said in an interview with the author.

Of course, the strength of enterprises is far from enough, and the support of national policies is needed.

Gu Qingliang pointed out that, first of all, the government should play a guiding role in planning the overall layout, which can not lead to overcapacity and vicious competition.

Secondly, the government should set up some platforms for labor training and reduce the production cost of enterprises.

Thirdly, the policy of workers should be well coordinated. Local governments should correctly guide the flow of labor. If the cost of mobility is high, the advantages of the central and western regions can not be brought into play, and industrial upgrading will be more difficult.

Finally, the government should support technological innovation and use the development of materials and new fields to stimulate the textile industry, which should not only be expressed in quantity, but also at the level.
