Next Year, The Textile Machinery Industry Will Face The Order Test.

Affected by the operation of the textile industry and entering the fourth quarter of this year, the sales of our textile machinery equipment have entered a downward turning point.

How long will this situation last? How can we grasp the economic situation next year? How should enterprises plan their future production? From December 13th to 14, 2011

Participating enterprises generally reflected that the textile machinery industry in the first three quarters of the economic situation is good, business orders are full, but customers postponed.

At the meeting, Gao Yong, vice chairman and Secretary General of China Textile Industry Federation and honorary director of China Textile machinery and equipment industry association, analyzed the overall development trend of the macro-economy and the market situation of the textile industry affected by this year and the general trend of 2012.

Gao Yong pointed out that, for the textile industry, whether the hot market last year or the cold market this year is closely related to the sharp fluctuations in cotton prices.

Under this influence, textile enterprises show a marked decline in both raw material reserves, finished products sales and profits.

According to a survey of some cotton spinning enterprises, raw material inventories in October dropped by 17.39% compared with the same period last year, of which raw cotton inventories dropped by 17.85% and chemical fiber staple inventories decreased by 2.99%.

Yarn inventories increased by 52.1% year-on-year, of which the stock of purified yarn grew by more than 1 times, and the backlog of chemical fiber products was the most serious.

The total inventory of cloth products increased by 44.7% over the same period last year.

The business situation worsened further, the number of loss making enterprises increased, and the total profit decreased by 1.67% compared with the same period last year, showing a sharp decline compared with the first few months of this year.

Speaking of the impact of changes in the textile market on the sales of textile machinery, Gao Yong pointed out that the weakening of the textile industry this year will undoubtedly affect the textile machinery industry. However, because of the long industrial chain in the textile industry, the market performance of various textile machinery equipment is also different.

For example, sales of cotton spinning equipment, printing and dyeing equipment and computerized flat knitting machine have been slowing down since the second half of this year, but there are also several kinds of equipment, such as chemical fiber filament equipment, non-woven fabric equipment, warp knitting machine and so on. Sales increased year by year, and some chemical fiber filament equipment orders even went to 2014.

He believes that the sale of the entire textile machinery in 2012 will continue such a situation.

Wang Shutian, director of China Textile machinery and equipment industry association, encourages enterprises to face the market changes with a positive attitude.

He said: "this year's market demand structure has undergone great changes, although some equipment sales are not satisfactory, but there are several kinds of equipment, such as the collective doffing spinning machine, air spinning, automatic winding machines and other sales have reached a new high. In the first three quarters of this year, China's import and export equipment 4 billion 100 million US dollars, all of which are the objective needs of the textile industry's technological progress."

He said that automation and informatization are the necessary conditions to meet the industrial revolution. As long as the industry grasps the general trend of development of the industry and increases the intensity of technological upgrading, every industry has business opportunities.

After in-depth exchanges and discussions, the participating enterprises believed that the decline of equipment sales in the fourth quarter was a normal reflection of the general downturn in the macroeconomic environment.

Moreover, affected by various factors such as the European debt crisis, this situation will certainly continue until the first quarter of next year, or even longer.

Many entrepreneurs have expressed their attitude towards the market after several market fluctuations. Many entrepreneurs said at the meeting that they would take advantage of the temporary drop in the market to further improve the technical performance of the products and improve the quality of products, and at the same time, we should find ways to expand overseas markets.

They believe that during the "12th Five-Year" period, with the adjustment of industrial structure and technological progress in textile industry, the market space of textile machinery industry is still huge.
