Double Factors Urge Domestic Textile Industry To "Go Out"

At present, China is the world's largest producer, export and consumer of textile and clothing.

In 2014, China's fiber processing accounted for more than 50% of the world's total, and textile and garment exports accounted for nearly 37.4% of the world's exports.

In recent years, with the change of economic environment at home and abroad, the growth rate of China's textile industry has not only declined in terms of production scale, export volume and total investment, but also the decline of the main export market share, and even some overseas orders began to withdraw from China.

Trade factors and cost factors are the main reasons for promoting the overseas investment of domestic textile enterprises.

In terms of trade factors, some enterprises are coping with some trade protection measures such as Europe and America. For example, Shen Zhou Knitting Group invested in factories in Kampuchea in 2005, breaking through the restrictions of "origin", avoiding the possibility of encountering anti-dumping or "special protection"; some enterprises are trying to avoid trade barriers, such as Tianhong Textile Group's production in Turkey and Uruguay, and directly organize production and sales in the local area, thereby saving 30% customs tariffs set up by the two countries, and some enterprises are enjoying special trade policies. For example, the EU announced the introduction of GSP to the least developed countries in the world in 2011, and many Southeast Asian countries are "on the list".

Therefore, if we export garments to Europe, we need to pay 12% of the customs duties, and the export from these countries can enjoy duty-free preferences, which has attracted many domestic textile enterprises to invest and build factories in Southeast Asia.

In addition to trade factors, comprehensive cost has also become an important factor restricting the day-to-day operation of enterprises.

Land cost.

Most textile enterprises in China are concentrated in the eastern provinces.

The increase in capacity leads to the inevitable expansion of new factories.

However, the price of land in the eastern part of China is soaring, which is beyond the scope that enterprises can afford.

The cost of raw materials mainly refers to the cost of raw materials.

It occupies the largest proportion of production cost of textile enterprises.

Since 2011, in order to raise the income of farmers, China has adopted a large-scale acquisition of domestic cotton, and imposed quota restrictions on imported cotton and imposed a tariff of up to 40%, resulting in a serious shortage of high-quality cotton. The domestic cotton price has been higher than 30% of the international market for three consecutive years, which has directly boosted the rise in production costs of China's textile enterprises.

Labor cost.

Taking the average annual wage increase of the manufacturing industry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian as an example, the data from 2010 to 2013 were 18%, 16%, 17%, respectively, in addition to the textile industry cluster.

In addition to the natural growth, the welfare of the enterprises in the welfare expenditure has also been significantly increased due to the change in the employment structure of the population (such as the accommodation, leisure and entertainment expenses of the employees).

At the same time, the lag of vocational education has led to the shortage of skilled workers in the textile industry, so the rise in labor costs and recruitment difficulties have become a reality.

Other costs: according to the rough calculation of the tax burden, based on the rough calculation of textile enterprises, taking an ordinary clothing with a market price of less than 100 yuan as an example, including the tax burden of the national tax, the local education attachment, the social security and the water conservancy fund, the tax burden is as high as 27.44%, which does not include all kinds of administrative and business charges that enterprises are often faced with. The environmental protection cost, the situation of China's energy conservation and emission reduction is becoming increasingly severe. The new edition of the environmental protection law strengthens the environmental responsibility of enterprises and promotes the environmental costs of enterprises.
