The press conference first analyzed the overall development trend of textile and clothing technology in the world, China and Shantou, focusing on the patent development of underwear and home clothes in the world, China and Shantou, and found out the risks and development direction of Shantou in the development of textile and clothing industry. From the perspective of industrial transformation and upgrading, Shantou Municipal Government The industry and innovation subjects put forward measures and suggestions that can be taken.

The press conference pointed out that the advantage of Shantou's textile and clothing industry lies in that after 40 years of continuous development, it has become a characteristic industry with the largest proportion of Shantou's manufacturing industry and complete supporting systems, and is the first industry in Shantou with an output value of more than 100 billion yuan. At the same time, Shantou is the largest underwear production base in China, accounting for 45% of the country's production, and plays a pivotal role in China's underwear sector. Compared with Suzhou, Wuxi, Jiaxing, Shaoxing and other key cities, Shantou's patent layout started late but has developed quite rapidly since 2015. At present, the number of patent applications in Shantou's textile and clothing industry is only second to Suzhou in the country. The number of downstream patent applications in Shantou's textile and clothing industry accounted for more than 96%, far higher than the global and Chinese levels. Among them, the number of patent applications in the direction of underwear and home clothes with Shantou characteristics accounted for more than 10% and about 5% of the world respectively, which is the most advantageous subdivision of Shantou. The number of talents in underwear and home clothes has obvious advantages. Individual innovation subjects are active in innovation, and enterprise strength still needs to be improved. The number of individual patent applications accounted for 91%, much higher than other major cities. At present, the number of appearance design patents in the downstream clothing field of Shantou City has reached 9637, ranking first in the country. At the same time, the number of underwear and household clothing brands ranks first in the same industry in the country, and the clothing design ability is strong. The development of the industry is on the rise.

The press conference pointed out that the strength of the upper and middle reaches of Shantou's textile and clothing industry is weak. Among the key technology branches, the number of Shantou's patent distribution in the direction of dyeing, printing and automatic sewing is only a single digit.

The press conference suggested strengthening upstream cooperation of the industrial chain and actively participating in the research of raw materials, so as to further promote the development of downstream leading cities. Increase R&D investment and targeted investment attraction in the middle reaches of the industrial chain. Expand the influence of downstream brands in the industrial chain. Focus on functional research in underwear and home clothes. We will also strengthen talent training and promote patent operation, transformation and service.

The press conference pointed out that Shantou Chaojie was listed as one of the three core areas of industrial development in Guangdong's Opinions on the Implementation of Further Promoting the High Quality Development of the Textile and Clothing Industry, which clearly proposed that Shantou would become a famous city of Chinese craft sweaters and a city of underwear and home clothes in China, and a series of measures would usher in new opportunities for the development of "weaving" in Shantou. Therefore, it is hoped that Shantou will seize the opportunity to play the role of patent information navigation, further strengthen the use of intellectual property rights, serve the innovative development of Shantou's key characteristic industries, help the role of "building a city through industry and strengthening the city through industry", and achieve the goal of "building a textile and clothing industry cluster with an output value of more than 200 billion yuan".
