The textile industry is my country’s traditional advantageous pillar industry and plays an important role in promoting economic growth and stimulating employment. How has my country’s textile industry performed since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China? What achievements have been achieved?
Industrial competitiveness continues to be consolidated and improved
At the seventh press conference on the theme of “Industrial and Information Development in the New Era” held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, industrial and Cao Xuejun, a first-level inspector of the Department of Consumer Goods Industry of the Ministry of Information Technology, said that my country is the world’s largest producer, exporter and consumer of textiles and clothing. It has the advantages of a complete industrial chain and its technological innovation has moved from “following and running alongside” to “running alongside and running alongside.” In the coexistence stage of “leading the way”, digital and green transformation are accelerated, application fields are continuously expanded, and industrial competitiveness is continuously consolidated and improved.
In terms of technological innovation, the collaborative innovation mechanism of the textile industry chain continues to improve, and corporate R&D investment continues to increase. The entire industry has built 2 national-level manufacturing innovation centers, 6 national key laboratories, and 81 national-level enterprise technology centers. and other innovative institutions have made breakthroughs in a large number of key technologies in the fields of fiber materials, textile equipment, green manufacturing, etc., and the independent controllability of the textile industry chain continues to increase.
In terms of production methods, the application of digital and green technologies has promoted the transformation of textile production methods. The digital cotton spinning production line has reduced the number of cotton spinning spindles from 60 to 15 people, and the chemical fiber smart factory has realized raw material transportation. , process control, automatic winding packaging and even warehousing digitization of the entire process. A number of green factories and green supply chains have been built, and textile production has transformed from large batches to personalized and flexible production, meeting the needs of small batches, multiple varieties, and just-in-time.
In terms of industrial application fields, in addition to meeting basic people’s livelihood needs such as clothing and household use, the textile industry continues to expand in industrial application fields. Industrial textiles are widely used in many fields such as medical health, environmental protection, geotechnical construction, aerospace, etc. Industrial textiles such as space suits and deep-sea ropes play an important role in key national projects. Especially during the COVID-19 epidemic, my country’s production capacity of industrial textiles such as masks and protective clothing has rapidly expanded, making important contributions to global epidemic prevention and control. The processing volume of industrial textile fibers in 2021 is 19.35 million tons, nearly double that of 2012, accounting for one-third of all fiber processing volume.
In terms of international cooperation, the textile industry actively uses mechanisms such as the “Belt and Road Initiative” and RECP to build a mutually beneficial and win-win industrial cooperation system and explore diversified markets. In 2021, the total export volume of textiles and clothing will reach US$315.5 billion, a record high, accounting for more than 30% of the global exports of similar products. Since 2012, the textile industry has invested more than 11 billion US dollars in foreign investment, involving all aspects of the industrial chain such as chemical fiber, spinning and weaving, and clothing. It has strengthened production capacity cooperation with Southeast Asia, Africa and other regions, and established a diversified and flexible supply chain.
Brand building has achieved remarkable results
In recent years, my country’s brand building has achieved remarkable results, especially the rise of national fashion brands, which are loved by consumers. Clothing consumption has become personalized, differentiated and Convenience trend. The textile industry continues to strengthen brand building and promote new models such as large-scale personalized customization to meet differentiated consumer needs. Cao Xuejun introduced that with the continuous development of the economy and society, consumers’ personalized, differentiated and diversified consumption needs continue to expand, becoming the main trend of consumption upgrading. In order to meet differentiated consumption needs, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology mainly carries out three Work in this area:
First, develop functional fiber materials. Together with relevant departments, we have continuously formulated and issued guidance on the development of chemical fibers during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” and “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” to support the development of differentiated, functional and high-performance fibers, release China’s fiber fashion trends, and guide the fiber and industrial chain Collaborative innovation, chemical fibers currently account for more than 85% of textile materials. Functional fiber materials such as conductive intelligence, ecological antibacterial, functional insulation, quick-drying and cooling, and green fibers are being promoted, enriching consumers’ understanding of the diverse functions of textiles. sexual choice.
The second is to cultivate new industry formats and new models. Promote the in-depth application of big data, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet and other information technologies in the textile industry, develop three-dimensional body measurement and virtual fitting systems, textile intelligent design and manufacturing systems, promote new models of large-scale personalized customization, segment consumption scenarios and strengthen categories Innovation. Support enterprises to develop online and offline comprehensive marketing, use live broadcast and other methods to directly target consumers for precise promotion, and meet consumers’ personalized, convenient and diversified consumption needs.
The third is to promote the construction of national fashion brands. Continue to carry out the tracking and cultivation of textile and clothing brands, organize pilot demonstrations of textile and clothing creative design parks, support various localities and industries in organizing fashion weeks, design competitions and other activities, promote the inheritance and innovation of textile intangible cultural heritage, and enhance brand cultural confidence. At present, domestic brands occupy a dominant position in domestic textile and apparel consumption. The proportion of original trend brand consumption in brand consumption is rapidly increasing. The awareness, reputation and influence of domestic textile and apparel brands continue to increase.
