Forecast of garment industry development trend

The clothing industry is one of the traditional pillar industries in China and plays an important role in the national economy. In recent years, clothing consumption has shifted from the consumption demand of a single shelter and cold comfort to the consumption trend of fashion, culture, brand and image. The industry is facing the pressure of transformation. The future trend of China's apparel industry is as follows:

1. Digitalization of garment production mode

The use of mechanical equipment for flow production is the mainstream production mode in the apparel industry. Facing the problems of recruitment, cost and efficiency, garment industry enterprises must arm themselves with clothing technology to improve the core competitiveness of enterprises and accelerate the transformation of production mode.

In the future, garment production will move towards the digital age. Intelligent software, automated machinery and clothing equipment, new technologies and new materials will be applied, such as 3D technology, robot operation, automation technology application and the whole set of streamlined, modern and digital solution services. The production mode of the digital age will subvert tradition and promote the great development of the garment industry.

2, intelligent fashion design mode.

The apparel application software has changed the way of operation of the design and Technology Department of the clothing industry. The traditional handwork has been transformed into computerized digitization and intelligent operation. The two-dimensional style design software has changed the hand drawn design pattern, and the three-dimensional style will subvert the traditional pattern of the garment industry along the way of design, sampling, fitting and walking. The popularization and application of garment CAD and process sheet improves the efficiency of the technology version room. The design, laying out, discharging, process sheet and sample management of the model are completed by using intelligent software, and the high-efficiency operation is achieved by combining input and output automatic clothing equipment.

3, DIY interaction for future clothing purchase way

The new distribution channel and logistics system developed by electronic commerce have the incomparable advantages of communication and sales in traditional sales channels. Taobao has set up a buyer's application center platform. The technology includes three parts: "virtual Wardrobe", "virtual fitting room" and "dream holographic display cabinet". Among them, clothes and costumes will be displayed in the press conference. The experience can not only see the dazzling display, but also try and match the clothing through 3D clothing experience technology. Although the technology is not very mature, we can see the future development trend.
