Textile Industry: Innovation Needs To Be Created In The "Slow" Process.

At the beginning of the new year, China textile industry The new normal situation has begun to appear. In January, the import and export volume of textile and clothing in China decreased. In 2014, the proportion of working age population in China also declined for third consecutive years, and the demographic dividend subsided further. In 2014, the textile industry's economic operation analysis also indicated that the industry has changed from high speed development to medium speed development, and the industry has been developing steadily.

A few days ago, Wang Tiankai, President of the China Federation of textile industry, gave an exclusive interview with reporters, and made a more in-depth analysis of the industry situation. He pointed out that under the backdrop of China's economic slowdown and the fact that the world economy is still uncertain and not optimistic, the pace of China's textile industry has slowed down.

He stressed that at present, the original production mode has been difficult to continue, and the new mode is still in the process of exploration and formation. Therefore, the core of the industry development is transformation and upgrading, or we must rely on innovation in technology, brand, system and mechanism, management and so on to provide the driving force for the development of the industry.

This is the best time for industry adjustment.

"If we take a more direct view of the industry's performance in the new normal from the perspective of how to understand the new normal, adapt to the new normal and lead the new normal, we can generalize in three sentences: the growth rate is slowing down, the slow development has entered, the development pressure is increasing, the differentiation is quickening up, the power transformation is pressing, and the key is innovation."

At the Tenth China spinning round table forum in early 2015, Wang Tian Kai The trend and characteristics of the external situation and the development of the industry itself are discussed. He pointed out that from the external situation, the textile industry is facing four new trends: first, the upgrading of domestic consumption structure; two, the adjustment and reconstruction of international competition pattern; three, the change of comparative advantage of production factors; and four, the constraint of resources and environment.

Wang Tiankai said that if we take a more direct view of the industry's performance in the new normal from the perspective of how to understand the new normal, adapt to the new normal and lead the new normal, we can use three sentences to sum up: the growth rate is slowing down, the slow progress has entered, the development pressure has increased, the differentiation has been quickened, and the transformation of force is pressing, and the key is innovation.

Specifically speaking, the textile industry as a consumer goods industry is closely related to the development of national macro-economy. As China's economic growth slows, it will eventually affect demand growth in the industry. In the new normal, the textile industry will also enter the medium speed growth from the medium and high speed growth. From last year, the main economic growth indicators of Enterprises above Designated Size have entered the single digit growth from two digit growth.

There is no doubt that China's textile industry is at an important turning point.

"As a member of the global textile industry system, in the face of uncertainties in the current world economic instability, China's textile industry is also facing changes in China's economic growth, structural adjustment, policy transformation and other major macroeconomic changes. The long-term inherent structural contradictions in the industry become more prominent." Wang Tiankai pointed out.

Wang Tiankai stressed that from another perspective, under such a pressure, it is also the best period for China's manufacturing industry to adjust and upgrade, including the textile industry. "Further deepening industrial restructuring, accelerating transformation and upgrading, and adapting ourselves to the new normal of the world and China's economy have become the fundamental task of the development of China's textile industry. Promoting transformation and upgrading is an inevitable requirement of China's textile industry. Wang Tiankai said.

We must recognize "slow" as well as "go in".

"While the industry is accepting and adapting to the slowdown in the textile industry, we should pay more attention to the opportunity to slow down and advance, to find and grasp the opportunities for continuous development of the industry."

In an interview, Wang Tiankai stressed that while the industry is accepting and adapting to the slowdown in the textile industry, we should pay more attention to the opportunity to slow down and move forward, and to find and grasp the opportunity to continue to promote the sustainable development of the industry.

He pointed out that first of all, industrial textiles still maintained good growth. Last year, the main economic indicators of industrial textiles maintained a two digit growth, which was determined by the national economic development strategy for the demand for industrial textiles. In the new normal, industrial textiles will continue to grow rapidly. Moreover, the rapid development of the industry's textile industry needs to learn from the experience gained from the development of scale and pay more attention to the optimization of industrial structure. The industry textile industry should give full play to its important role in driving the growth of the entire textile industry.

The second is the acceleration of industrial restructuring, which is the most typical characteristic of the new normal. Under the new normal, the adjustment of industrial structure, regional structure, enterprise organizational structure and product structure is accelerating.

The other is the pressure of development and the acceleration of differentiation. Under the new normal, the pressure on the overall operation and development of the textile industry is increasing. Both small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises generally feel that the operation is more difficult.

Enterprises generally feel the pressure is increasing. The most important reason is that the original production mode is difficult to continue, and the new mode is still in the process of exploration and formation. In addition, the demand growth is relatively weakened, resources and environment constraints are intensified, the cost of elements is rising and the demand for terminal changes has accelerated. Personalization and differentiation have become the mainstream, as well as some of the micro market characteristics of some industries such as capacity stage and structural surplus.

The second is the urgency of power transformation, the key is innovation. Under the new normal, the core of the development of the industry is to promote transformation and upgrading, change dependence on investment driven and factor driven, and rely on innovation in technology, brand, management, system, mechanism and business mode to promote the development of the industry.

　 Innovation driven is still the fundamental engine

"At present, the industry in the implementation of innovation driven, we must combine the characteristics of the industry, including technology is the cornerstone, the market is the source, talent is the fundamental, system and mechanism is the key."

Wang Tiankai said that we must speed up the development of some technologies that are crucial to the transformation and upgrading of the industry. Nowadays, although enterprises are paying more attention to innovation, overall, the development and technology popularization of key areas such as differentiation, functional chemical simulation fibers and so on are still not very fast. In cross industry and cross sectoral cooperation, there are both technical difficulties and institutional constraints.

In terms of science and technology, it is aimed at the industry, especially the functionalized and differentiated chemistry. Simulation fiber It is the key to speed up the development of intelligent, digital device development and application technology, high-end industrial textiles, energy saving and emission reduction technologies.

Secondly, focusing on the terminal market, aiming at differentiated and personalized consumption demand and changing consumption patterns and consumption needs, we need to accelerate the construction of our own brand and product mix, promote enterprise management, institutional and mechanism innovation, production and business mode innovation, and promote the transformation from production type to production service type enterprise.

In response to this, Wang Tiankai said that we should pay attention to the integration of informatization and the entire manufacturing industry. The key to the future competition among enterprises lies in the accuracy of the market, the rapid feedback to the market, and the clear cognition of the market. All these require the improvement of enterprise information technology and management.

At the same time, we should further speed up the optimal allocation of resources and actively promote regional structural adjustment in line with the decisive role of market allocation of resources, including creating new international advantages and further optimizing the allocation of transnational resources.

Third, we must establish an institutional mechanism of risk sharing and benefit sharing. As the main body of R & D, enterprises should pay more attention to the combination of production, teaching and research, and establish an open and innovative mechanism. At present, some outstanding models and platforms have emerged in the industry, such as industrial alliances, but there is still no effective open mode to absorb all kinds of resources.

Wang Tiankai stressed that to speed up the pace of innovation and innovation, we need to create a good environment at the national level, including cracking down on counterfeiting and shoddy, protecting intellectual property rights, and fully activating the vitality of innovation with the greatest degree of policy tilt. Basically, we need to create an open, transparent and fair external environment. We appeal to the market to come to a decisive role in the allocation of resources as soon as possible, including the cotton policy as an important raw material for textile industry as soon as possible to the market, not to let innovation become a slogan.

At the same time, he emphasized that talents are fundamental. The textile industry must accelerate reform and perfect the system and mechanism of talent growth in talent training. While fully relying on the educational functions of existing institutions and building high-quality personnel training bases, we should fully tap resources, build multi-level training bases for in-service personnel, and promote the training of interdisciplinary, cross industry and cross regional talents, so as to bring up structural optimization, strong high-quality professional talents and large scale highly skilled personnel.

　 Seeking new opportunities in steady growth

"Today, we should strive to win preferential policies for the country, though we must work hard, but what we need to do is to look for new directions in the national macro policy and take the initiative to grasp new opportunities in the process of changing direction, adjusting structure and grasping reform."

The central economic work conference put forward five major tasks of economic work in 2015. Among them, efforts to maintain stable economic growth were ranked first, and the remaining four were deployed around the task of steady growth. The five tasks highlight the ways and means of achieving steady growth through transformation, restructuring, reform and innovation.

Wang Tiankai said that if we talk about opportunities, the textile industry must also take a serious grasp from this aspect. At the macro level, the central government ensures stable economic growth and focuses on changing the way and adjusting the structure. Similarly, the textile industry should seize opportunities in promoting transformation and upgrading, including accelerating the transition from production to production and service.

The central economic work conference also mentioned that the market needs to live, innovate and be practical, and the policy should be wide. The main point is to find and cultivate new growth points mainly by market. Innovation must be implemented to create new growth points, and create a policy environment and institutional environment conducive to public entrepreneurship and market main body innovation. The textile industry is mostly out of the market and small and medium enterprises are the majority. Therefore, the formulation of the new growth point will bring opportunities for the industry to further enhance the driving force and vitality of innovation driven.

Moreover, in optimizing the spatial pattern of economic development, it is necessary to improve regional policies and promote coordinated development, coordinated development and common development in all regions. The overall strategy of western development, Northeast revitalization, central China's rise and the eastern region's first regional development should focus on implementing the three strategies of "one belt and one road", the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and the Yangtze River economic belt, and strive for a good start this year. Through reform and innovation, we should break the regional blockade and interests barriers and comprehensively improve the efficiency of resource allocation. The adjustment of regional structure is an important direction for the structural adjustment of the textile industry. The policies put forward by the Central Committee and the implementation of the new three strategies will bring opportunities for the textile industry to speed up the adjustment.

According to the spirit of the central economic work conference, we should focus on the following four main tasks. First, we must focus on steady growth and structural adjustment. We need to do in-depth research and research, and strive to resolve some outstanding contradictions and problems in the development of the industry, including raw materials, production capacity, environmental protection, layout, and small and medium-sized enterprises.
