Current situation in textiles: Improving innovation capabilities is the core

Improving innovation capabilities remains the core of the development of China’s textile machinery industry. In addition to the efforts of textile machinery companies themselves, the China Fabric Machinery Association, as an industry organization and industry enterprise representatives, will also provide assistance.

In 2017, the textile machinery market situation generally recovered, many companies were full of orders, and many companies were “too busy” with too many orders. However, while there are basically no worries about orders, problems such as high production costs and difficulty in making money, homogenization of products, and lack of professional and technical talents still exist.

Will the textile machinery market continue to have a good situation in 2018? How will the environment change as we progress? What should be the focus of industry and corporate progress? Regarding the issues that companies in these industries are concerned about, reporters recently interviewed Wang Shutian, president of the China Fabric Machinery Association.

Four major features display the adjustment results

In 2017, the sales situation of the textile machinery market was generally good, with sales of almost all product categories achieving growth.

Wang Shutian analyzed that the operation of the textile machinery industry in 2017 reflected four main characteristics:

, the industry’s economic operation is stable and growing, and both quantity and quality have improved. Due to the overall stable operation of the domestic fabric industry and the recovery of international and domestic fabric market demand, various economic indicators of my country’s fabric machinery industry have improved, and the import and export trade volume of textile machinery products has both achieved positive growth. The textile machinery industry strives to adjust and optimize the industrial structure, build a multi-point support system, and follow the progress of the “One Belt, One Road”. The performance of the first three quarters of 2017 was better than that of the same period in 2016, and economic indicators such as main business income and total profit achieved year-on-year performance Double-digit growth.

Second, industry structure adjustment has made significant progress. Wang Shutian said that this progress is reflected in many aspects. For example, at the level of national policy support, a number of textile machinery intelligent manufacturing projects have received support and have achieved results in pilot demonstrations in some key areas. The structural adjustment of textile machinery products has achieved results, and product varieties have become more abundant. In the 1980s and 1990s, the output of cotton textile equipment accounted for more than 40% of the textile machinery industry, and now it accounts for about 30%. This does not mean that the total amount of spinning equipment itself has decreased, but that other sub-sectors are growing rapidly. For example, knitted fabric machinery and nonwoven fabric equipment are growing rapidly. Especially in the fields of chemical fiber equipment and nonwoven equipment, which were relatively weak in the industry in the past, there has been leapfrog progress. In these areas, the timely introduction of new models has played a positive role in promoting the structural adjustment of the fabric industry. At the same time, the structure of fabric machinery products has become more reasonable. In addition, many new products have been developed around energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligence.

Third, textile machinery companies pay more attention to technological innovation and have made breakthroughs in many technical fields. In the 2017 China Fabric Industry Federation Science and Technology Award issued not long ago, 4 textile machinery projects won the first prize. “Winning the market with products and technology” has become the consensus among textile machinery companies. Major companies in the textile machinery industry have accelerated the establishment of scientific and technological innovation mechanisms and increased investment in technology research and development. According to a survey conducted by the China Fabric Machinery Association on key enterprises with technical representation in the industry, the amount of investment in technology development accounted for an increasing proportion of the company’s annual sales. In addition, in terms of product research and development, it has indeed established a stable model of integrating industry, academia and research.

Fourth, corporate governance and industry self-discipline levels have improved. Wang Shutian believes that in recent years, the operations of my country’s textile machinery enterprises have become more standardized and their governance has become more scientific. In July 2017, Fujian Ruineng Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, adding a new member to the list of listed textile machinery companies. In October 2017, Guangdong Jinlu Technology Co., Ltd. successfully landed on the New Third Board capital market. By going public or listing on the New Third Board, textile machinery companies have become more standardized in all aspects of their operations, and their business governance has become more open and transparent. Jinlun Card Clothing (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. was awarded the “National Quality Award Encouragement Award” in 2017 after winning the “National Fabric Industry Quality Award”.

In addition, in terms of industry self-discipline, in response to the severe low-price competition and credit sales in the field of looms, major domestic rapier loom manufacturers have signed a self-regulatory convention. The companies basically follow the self-regulatory convention. implement. In the recent stage, the market for high-end rapier looms has been improving, and the supply of products exceeds demand. The down payment and balance recovery period of most rapier loom companies are higher than the requirements of the self-discipline convention. The China Fabric Machinery Association has received unfair competition complaints. less>

In terms of promoting the layout of textile machinery companies, the China Fabric Machinery Association will continue to organize companies to participate in foreign exhibitions such as the Jakarta 2018 International Fabric and Workwear Machinery Exhibition in Indonesia this year. Based on the experience of participating in last year’s exhibition, we will choose an exhibition platform with higher quality and better effects to help companies develop the international market more effectively.

In addition, the China Fabric Machinery Association’s own construction will continue to improve. In order to better serve industry enterprises, the association has adjusted its own organizational structure in the past two years and redivided its business departments into spinning machinery, weaving machinery, printing and dyeing machinery, knitted fabric machinery, chemical fiber and industrial machinery according to process division. and other 5 industrial ministries, and successively established the Knitted Fabric Machinery Branch, Weaving Machinery Manufacturing Branch, Spinning Machinery Branch, Nonwoven Machinery Branch, Printing and Dyeing Machinery Branch and Chemical Fiber Machinery Branch.

Wang Shutian said: “The purpose of each branch of Chengzhan is to better promote industry innovation and market expansion, let industry companies do their own industry work, and truly participate in the progress of the industry. With the help of these branches, similar companies can sit together to discuss issues in various fields and exchange experiences. The China Textile Machinery Association will change its term next year, and there will be changes in the organizational form. In the future, each branch will play a greater role.”
