Knitted Fabric Goes Up In Green Clouds, Joy? Worry?

The upper circle machine is Shaoxing County in these two years.

In the 1-5 months of this year, the output data of industrial products above Designated Size in Shaoxing county showed that the knitting industry became the fastest growing industry in Shaoxing county's textile and clothing industry, and the output of knitted fabric in the whole county reached 2 billion 16 million meters in five months, an increase of 35.7% over the same period last year, an increase of 17 percentage points higher than that of dyed cloth, and became a "black horse" in Shaoxing's textile industry.

The sound of knitting rises.

Not long ago, when interviewed by a clothing company in Qian Qing, reporters found that hundreds of square meters of clothing warehouse were filled with yarn, and the clothing warehouse became a yarn warehouse.

"Now investing in circular knitting machines is a money making project," the operator told the reporters frankly. In July last year, the company invested in 30 circular machines, started a knitting mill, recovered less than a year ago, and now plans to buy 20 round machines to expand its scale.

Low entry threshold and fast cost recovery.

Look out

Recently, the "Shu Mei te textile" located in the Keqiao Development Zone changed the plan of investing 300 broad knitting circular machines over a year ago and turned to invest in jacquard knitting machines.

From last year, it invested 10 million yuan to invest in 50 large width knitting machines. Up to now, "Shu Mei te textile" already has 102 sets of large circular knitting machines.

However, the head of the company told reporters, "although the current situation of the knitting industry is promising, the investment in the circular machine is overheated, so we have to invest cautiously in this field."

The worry of "Shu Mei Wu textile" is not groundless.

It is hard to predict whether the knitting industry is saturated or not. However, the pient heat wave of the investment "embroidery machine" once launched in Shaoxing County four or five years ago has kept many people in the industry fresh in mind: because of the advantages of low entry threshold and fast output of embroidery fabrics, the textile enterprises rush to buy embroidery machines, with fewer than 50 units and hundreds of them.

But within less than two years, the embroidery fabric has fallen from the profit of 20 yuan per meter to the era of meager profit, or even a lot of losses and the tragedy of stopping production.

There is a certain similarity between the investment of knitting machines and the investment of embroidery machines. For this reason, insiders call for Shaoxing enterprises to be cautious in investing or reinvesting.

"In the national" 12th Five-Year plan ", the volume growth will no longer be the focus of the textile industry, we should pay attention to the improvement of soft power.

Yang Shibin, director of the China knitwear industry association, said: "we have confidence in the future development of the knitting industry, but it needs more innovation and development, focusing on the quality and documentation of the knitting industry."
