China's Textile And Clothing Exports Decreased By 2.91% Over The Same Period Last Year.

Textile is a kind of handicraft industry serving for the human beings. Spinning and weaving, making clothes, covering up the ugly and decorating the beautiful, protecting the cold from wind and preventing insects and bodies are the important motives for the origin and development of textiles.

Because the textile industry is a traditional industry, but in fact, it has high technology content in many fields. As a representative of China's labor-intensive industry, the textile industry needs to be pformed and upgraded.

According to reports, China in the first half of the year

Exports fell by 2.91% year-on-year, the first negative year-on-year growth in recent years.

The market forced the pformation and upgrading of enterprises as soon as possible.

In the factory workshop of Shekou, Shenzhen, the workers making clothes are busy.

Zhai Xiaoping, honorary president, said that although the factory was still producing, the number of processing has been greatly reduced.

Zhai Xiaoping: "in the past, our average output would be about 400 pieces a day, and maybe 200 now."

The reduction is not only in the daily production, from the number of garment factories to the number of workers, but also to the shrinkage of profits by at least 30%.

Zhai Xiaoping: "at that time, if gross profit should be calculated, there should be a profit of 20% to 30%. Now the profit is only one digit, and the digit is decimal."

According to statistics, in the first half of 2015, China's textile and clothing export prices fell by 1.45%, and the number of exports decreased by 1.48%.

Zhang Qinghui, vice president of China Fashion Designers Association: "the export market is shrinking due to the rising labor costs and the increase of the cost of production elements. We are losing competitiveness in some low-end markets."

As a representative of China's labor-intensive industries, the textile industry is in urgent need of pformation and upgrading.

Yuan Lei, director of Industrial Operation Research Institute, Institute of industrial economics, Academy of Social Sciences,

Yuan Lei: "the first is the upgrading of technology, because the textile industry is a traditional industry, but in fact, in many areas, the technology content is very high.

For example, some outdoor products.

And so on. At present, China can not produce.

If we can achieve technological breakthroughs, there will be a big increase in the added value of the products. The second aspect is that on the brand, textile and garment exports are the most fundamental problem of brands, but China's brand is relatively weak. Third, it is the market channel, how to establish a network of mainstream sales channels, which is also an urgent need to establish.
