Building a base with Nanya and investing in an industrial park in Xinjiang have become their main choices for realizing their layout. Huafu Colored Textile, which accounts for more than 80% of the gray cotton thread market share, has transferred all its gray cotton thread business to Xinjiang in recent years; Shanghai Fabric Group has joined forces with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to launch the “Sudan New Fabric Industrial Park” project to create a “Sudan New Fabric Industrial Park” Cotton planting-ginning-spinning-weaving-dying and finishing-home textile workwear” and other fabric industry chains and supporting infrastructure construction.

In the ups and downs of market competition, the fabric workwear industry has accelerated its transformation and upgrading, moving towards intelligent manufacturing and green environmental protection. For example, the Vosges Group has strengthened technological innovation and research and development, and launched color spinning technology and digital printing technology products, especially color spinning products, which are well received by the market for their advantages such as environmental protection, chlorine resistance, and low cost. During this Canton Fair, Vosges Group’s passenger traffic increased significantly, and it reached a transaction intention of US$5.5 million.

First of all, it is necessary to deeply transform from “big” to “strong”, and intelligent manufacturing will be an important driving force for industrial upgrading. Secondly, we should take the integration of the industrial chain as the development driver and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises by improving production efficiency and service quality. At present, many enterprises have formed obvious competitive advantages through integration. Ultimately, the development of independent brands will determine the future of Chinese fabric workwear to achieve greater glory.
