Textile industry will maintain a steady development trend

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the industry trends in the new year are affecting everyone in the industry. The plan for the reforms promulgated at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and the convening of the Central Economic Work Conference set a clear goal for the development of China's economy in 2014, which also pointed out the goal for the textile industry in 2014.

The analysis of relevant institutions believes that under the influence of factors such as a better external environment, the deepening of reforms starting in China, the promotion of new urbanization, and the resumption of consumption growth, the Chinese economy will continue to “stabilize and improve” in 2014.

Reform brings development opportunities

In mid-November 2013, a lot of Chinese people were encouraged by a news story. The "Decision of the Central Government on Several Key Issues for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms" passed at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee made all walks of life see a new hope.

The same is true for the textile industry.

In the “decision”, “the market plays a decisive role in the allocation of resources”, “encouraging the non-public ownership enterprises to participate in the reform of state-owned enterprises, encourage the development of mixed-ownership enterprises with non-public capital controls,” and “establish a collaborative innovation mechanism for production, learning and research” and “promotion Promote better integration of internal and external opening, mutual promotion, introduction and outreach, promote the orderly and free flow of international and domestic factors, allocate resources efficiently, deepen the integration of markets, accelerate the cultivation of new advantages in participating in and leading international economic cooperation, and promote reform through openness.” A series of measures allow the industry to see opportunities and hopes, and will also allow the industry to usher in a major period of development in 2014.

“It is a great advantage for the textile industry.” Wang Tiankai, president of the China National Textile and Apparel Industry Federation, said in an exclusive interview with the reporter of the “Textile and Apparel Weekly” that the “Decision” profoundly analyzed the important theoretical and practical issues faced by China’s reform and development and realized The major breakthroughs in a series of reforms in theory and practice have pointed out the direction for solving the deep-seated contradictions faced by industrial restructuring of the textile industry. The development of the textile industry will usher in a new round of rare opportunities for development.

This rare opportunity for development has been recognized by first-tier companies.

Wang Jiangen, president of Tongkun Group, believes that the reform plan announced at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee will have an extraordinary significance for China's textile industry and enterprises. It will provide a more comfortable and fair market environment for the development of the industry, and for companies in the market. The positioning and development of China will provide a broader space for the development of enterprises.

"The new ideas, new conclusions, and new measures of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Party Congress will inevitably stimulate the vitality and creativity of the non-public economy. Private enterprises with core competitiveness will usher in a new round of development." Bosideng International Holdings Gao Dekang, chairman of the company, said.

Shortly afterwards, the Central Economic Work Conference was convened to set a general tone for the economic development in 2014: “Stability in progress, reform and innovation”, which further highlighted reforms and made some deployments in deepening reforms.

At the same time, the central economic work conference put forward the "implementation of proactive fiscal policies and sound monetary policy" and "vigorously adjust the industrial structure" and "release effective demand, give full play to the basic role of consumption, the key role of investment, exports The supporting role of the three-carriage driving the growth of consumption, investment, and foreign demand is very important for guiding the development of the textile industry in 2014.

Industry will continue to develop steadily

In the context of deepening reforms, 2014 was also known as the "first year of reform." Analysts believe that in 2014 China's economy will maintain the steady growth of high speed.

Then what will happen to the overall trend of the textile industry in the "reformed first year"? A number of industry experts and business leaders said that due to the need to slowly advance the reform policy, so in 2014, the development of the textile industry will continue to maintain a steady development trend, there will be no great ups and downs.

Wang Tiankai pointed out that in 2014, with the effects of various regulatory policies with steady growth and structural adjustment as the main goals, the conditions for the steady growth of the domestic economy and the gradual increase in the consumption capacity of the domestic demand market existed, especially at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. The gradual advancement of various reform measures will also have a positive impact on the market environment and confidence. But at the same time, we must also see that China's economy is in a period of shifting growth speeds, structural adjustment pains, and a period of stimulated digestion in the previous three phases. It is a matter of stability in economic growth, and there are risks. There is still a large downward trend in economic performance. pressure.

“I think 2014 will be a smooth year,” said Gao Yong, vice president and secretary-general of the China National Textile and Apparel Federation. Although the cotton policy will change in 2014, the country’s income collection and storage policy will also be adjusted and implemented. Farmers' direct subsidies policy may reduce cotton prices, but it will not change the industrial structure of the textile industry in a year.

“Because we still have a lot of cotton stocks, these will still have an impact on the cotton price. In addition, I think that exports, domestic demand and so on will be similar to last year and will not change much. Overall, 2014 will still be maintained. Smooth development." Gao Yong said.

However, in the eyes of some heads of textile companies, they are not optimistic about the industry situation in 2014.

“I think the situation in 2014 will not be too optimistic. There are still some uncertainties in the economic situation at home and abroad, so the future trend of the industry will not be too optimistic.” Ma Xiaofeng, deputy general manager of Shandong Yanchun Textile Co., Ltd., said that in the new one The severe situation faced by industrial enterprises in the year will not be much improved.

At the same time, he reminded that the polarization of textile companies is now more serious, with 80% of the profits concentrated in 20% of companies. Therefore, in the future, companies must continue to make steady progress in some high-end products and adjust their own marketing models.

“The situation in the first half of 2014 may be about the same as in 2013. It is expected that the second half will be better than the first half, because the cotton issue may be effectively resolved in the second half of the year. Now many companies are watching the adjustment of cotton policy if the policy is to be adopted in the second half of the year. Clearly, then the industry situation will naturally be better.” General Manager of Nantong Shuanghong Textile Co., Ltd. Ji Yijun said.

He Xiaosi, information manager of China Cotton Textile Information Network, also analyzed that in the new year, there will be no big rebound in the industry situation. “I don’t think the overall situation in 2014 will be too optimistic. Especially in the first half of the year, it may still maintain its current status. There will be no significant improvement. The industry situation is still relatively more difficult and the industry will continue to shuffle.”
