The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee put forward the five development concepts of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing for the first time, drawing a new blueprint for China's 13th Five-Year Plan and beyond. The textile industry is also in a special period in history, standing at a new starting point, facing new challenges, but also having new opportunities. Under the two centennial goals, the textile industry will further strengthen the three positioning, two characteristics, and six functions of the textile industry, and achieve a new leap in the textile industry.

A new starting point: China's textile industry at the intersection of history

At present, China's textile industry is in a special period of historical convergence. It is standing at a new starting point with speed changes, structural optimization, and power conversion as important features. The specific performance is: the steady growth of scale efficiency, and the development speed from high-speed to medium-high speed; The characteristics of structural adjustment are obvious, and comprehensive optimization has become the theme of industry development; the process of industry transformation and upgrading has accelerated, and the development momentum has shifted from factor-driven to innovation-driven.

Speed ​​changes---scale benefits have steadily increased, and the development speed has shifted from high-speed to medium-to-high speed

Since 2010, the growth rate of major economic indicators such as total fiber processing, operating income, total profit, exports and industrial added value in China's textile industry has dropped significantly, showing a medium-to-high-speed growth trend. Although the growth rate has slowed down, the development situation is better than the overall situation of the country's economy. On the whole, the growth rate of the textile industry's added value is faster than that of GDP. From 2009 to 2014, the fixed asset investment of enterprises above designated size in the textile industry maintained growth, but the growth rate declined. The total investment from January to October 2015 was 978.185 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%; from 2009 to 2014, the proportion of fixed asset investment by enterprises above designated size in the textile industry in the total social investment increased steadily and slightly, from January to October 2015 Accounted for 2.19%.

Structural optimization-the characteristics of structural adjustment are obvious, and comprehensive optimization has become the theme of industry development

At present, the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources has been brought into full play, which has led to a comprehensive, multi-dimensional, and in-depth structural adjustment of the industry, and the industrial structure is moving in the direction of rationalization. In terms of raw material structure, in 2014, chemical fiber accounted for 82.2% of the total fiber processing in the country, an increase of 12.2 percentage points from 2010. In terms of product structure, in 2014, the ratio of the processing volume of the three terminal fibers for apparel, home textiles and industrial use was 46.8: 28.6: 24.6, of which industrial textile fibers accounted for an increase of 4.6 percentage points over 2010. In terms of regional structure, the proportion of the main business income of regulated enterprises in the western region of the entire industry rose from 16.8% in 2010 to 22.5%, while overseas investment is showing an acceleration trend. In terms of industrial organization structure, the industry's advantageous resources are accelerating the gathering of leading companies, while a number of small, specialized, sophisticated, and special enterprises have increased and developed healthily; in terms of consumption structure, the growth of physical retail channels has slowed down, and e-commerce has grown significantly. In terms of export structure, the market is clearly diversified. In 2013, ASEAN surpassed Japan to become the third largest market for China’s textile and apparel exports. In 2014, the European Union, the United States, ASEAN, and Japan accounted for 55.11% of China’s textile and apparel exports. Knitting exports developed rapidly. In 2006, the exports of knitted apparel and accessories surpassed that of woven fabrics. In 2013, the export of knitted fabrics and clothing exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars; the proportion of general trade continued to increase, reaching 76.18% in 2014, an increase of 1.75 percentage points over 2010. In addition, about 70% of the 80 listed companies in the textile and apparel sector have cross-border development, and the corporate capital market for cross-border development has performed well. Diversified extension provides a reservoir of funds for expanding and strengthening the main business, but we should be wary of the tendency of capital operation to hollow out the physical industry. The industry encourages enterprises to base themselves on industry and extend to the natural extension of the Internet + lifestyle and cultural and creative fields.

Power Conversion--Accelerating the process of transformation, and the development momentum is shifting from factor-driven to innovation-driven

Since the 12th Five-Year Plan, the transformation and upgrading of the industry has accelerated, and the development momentum has shifted from being driven by factors to driven by innovation. In terms of technological innovation, a number of high-tech fiber complete sets of technologies and equipment have made breakthroughs and broke the foreign technology monopoly. Key technologies of chemical fiber, textiles, printing and dyeing, and industrial textiles have made progress. Through key technology research and integrated innovation, traditional textile products have been promoted to the high-end With the development of industrialization, continuous, automated, and high-speed new textile equipment has been widely used, and breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of intelligent textile equipment, and applications have begun. The rapid development of high-tech material technology industrialization has gradually broken the foreign technology monopoly. The training of talents has been further strengthened to provide intellectual support for the industry. Since the 12th Five-Year Plan, the scale of industry R&D personnel has continued to expand. The multi-level human resource cultivation system has been further improved, professional education, vocational education and on-the-job education have developed rapidly, and a multi-level human resource cultivation system has been gradually established and improved. Enterprises increase investment in cultivating and introducing high-end talents, and cultivate a group of professional and technical talents suitable for enterprises through targeted training, entrusted training, short-term training and self-run universities. In terms of brand building, the brand awareness, innovation and scale of the whole industry have been greatly improved. New leap: Recognize the environment and seize opportunities. Facing the pressure and challenges brought by the slowdown of globalization, cost flattening, decentralized procurement, and aging population, the textile industry needs to recognize the environment and respond to challenges; identify directions and grasp supply Development opportunities brought by side reforms, industry intelligence, new urbanization, and regional synergy; market-oriented, innovation-driven, structural optimization, and green development are the basic paths; smart manufacturing, capital markets, and cultural creativity are the three major grasps In order to promote the optimization and reconstruction of the textile industry chain, extend the links, achieve synergy and integration within and between industries, form a big textile, build a big platform, and create a big ecology.

challenge

The expected decline in economic growth, the slowdown in emerging market growth and the slowdown in global trade growth have become the core features of the new normal in the global economy, affecting the development of the industry. The slowdown of globalization has led to weak growth in international merchandise trade. The dividends of globalization are being diluted with the rapid increase in regional trade agreements, and the fragmentation of the global trading system is becoming increasingly prominent. Flattening costs has brought changes in the industry's competitive landscape. Affected by factors such as technological revolution, capital costs, and raw material prices, global textile manufacturing costs tend to flatten, causing changes in the industry's competitive landscape. The aging population has brought structural shortages of labor in the industry. In 2014, only the per capita monetary wage in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and construction was lower than that in the manufacturing industry. The wage gap in the industry and social employment orientation brought labor shortages to a certain extent.

opportunity

At the macro level, supply-side reforms will increase total factor productivity. From focusing on the troika to focusing on the supply and effective use of production factors, it will prompt the country to do a good job in policy addition and improve policy supply; do a good job in capacity reduction and eliminate outdated production capacity; Innovative multiplication, to give play to the multiplier role of innovation on development, and to improve the supply capacity of products and services; to do a good job in cost division, eliminate institutional barriers, and reduce the institutional transaction costs of enterprises. At the industry level, supply-side reforms will simultaneously guide demand and create demand, from stimulating and expanding demand to accurately matching demand, resolving the contradiction of structural and effective supply shortages, and promoting the industry to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial technology system. Industry intelligence brings opportunities for industrial transformation and upgrading. In the context of the national implementation of the "Made in China 2025" strategy and the Internet + action plan, intelligence will bring huge development opportunities to the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. At present, a large number of companies in the industry have introduced intelligent equipment and intelligent operations to help save energy, resources, labor, and produce high-stability and high-quality products. The new urbanization brings huge room for growth in the industry. The increase in the urbanization rate and the narrowing of the urban-rural gap will drive the expansion of domestic textile consumer demand. Demand diversification, individualization, and fashion become the mainstream, which will also promote the accelerated upgrading of the consumption structure. According to the target proposed in the 13th Five-Year Plan, by 2020, about 100 million migrant workers and other permanent residents will settle in cities and towns. This part of the population will drive an increase in clothing consumption of more than 160 billion. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the growth in consumer demand for industrial textiles is expected to maintain an average annual rate of over 8%. By 2020, the proportion of bag dust removal in coal-fired power plants will increase from the current 25% to more than 40%; the replacement rate of imported medical textile products will reach 15%-20%; the penetration rate of the domestic adult care products market will be less than 2% from the current level Increase to 10%. Regional synergy brings benefits to industrial transfer and cooperation. The implementation of the three strategies of the Belt and Road Initiative, the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the signing of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements will greatly expand the regional development space of the textile industry and enhance the cross-border allocation of technical resources, innovation resources, marketing resources, and management of industrial enterprises. Resources and the ability to manufacture resources to promote regional structural adjustments and the industry to go global.

New blueprint: innovation, coordination, green, openness, sharing

Under the two century-old goals, we will further strengthen the textile industry’s three major positionings, two major features, and six major roles. Three positioning: the status as a traditional pillar industry of the national economy, an important civilian production industry, and the creation of a new international advantage industry; two characteristics: the integration of technology and fashion, clothing consumption and industrial use simultaneously; six major functions: continuity Play its role in beautifying people's lives, driving related industries, stimulating domestic demand growth, building ecological civilization, enhancing cultural self-confidence and promoting social harmony. Through innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development, enhance the strength of the industry, shape the charm of the industry, strengthen the internal strength of the industry, and achieve a new leap in the textile industry.
