Current situation

In 2011, the cotton textile market fluctuated sharply.

Affected by this, the vast majority of enterprises encounter difficulties, and most enterprises decline in efficiency.

As raw material prices fluctuated significantly, enterprise orders were greatly affected.

Business representatives generally reflect that the current product orders are mainly small bills and short orders. It is difficult to see long lists and large orders. Some enterprises have great pressure on sales and inventory.

While market demand is not strong, labor costs, electricity costs and financing costs of cotton textile enterprises have risen sharply, and many enterprises are facing difficulties in recruiting workers.

Faced with the difficulties, many enterprises said they should work hard, strengthen internal management, adjust product mix, and take measures to reduce employment, reduce consumption and increase products.

Situation

In 2011,

Data show that 1~11 months, China's yarn production totaled 26 million 319 thousand tons, an increase of 12.46% over the same period, and cloth production of 56 billion 700 million meters, an increase of 13.25% over the same period last year.

The cotton textile industry association of China has conducted a survey of the 1~11 production and marketing situation of 90 cotton textile enterprises in the country. The survey showed that the yarn production of the investigated enterprises decreased by 8.55% compared with the same period last year, raw material inventories decreased by 15.8% compared with the same period last year, and yarn inventories increased by 57% compared with the same period last year, while cloth inventories increased by 41% over the same period last year.

At present, the price of international cotton yarn is lower than that of domestic cotton yarn, resulting in a decrease in export volume.

For cotton textile enterprises

Future

Most enterprises are not optimistic about the future market situation.

Wang Tiankai believes that there is indeed downward pressure. Enterprises should not only make good preparations for dealing with difficulties, but also establish confidence, strengthen internal management and upgrade the level of technology.

Many business representatives expect that the market will improve in the second half of next year or 2013.

Many business representatives think that the industry will enter in the next stage.

Suggestion

Wang Tiankai said that the huge fluctuation of cotton price has great influence on enterprises.

From the statistical data, the operation of the industry basically remained stable in 2011, but there was an obvious characteristic that the growth rate fell by the month by month, which should be fully vigilant.

At present, the difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices has greatly affected the export of enterprises.

He believes that fair competition environment is conducive to the development of the industry, and domestic cotton prices should be in line with international standards.

He suggested that the departments concerned should carry out cotton planting direct subsidy in the cotton producing areas of Xinjiang.

Wang Wei, deputy director of the consumer goods division of the Ministry of industry and commerce, said that although the difficulties can not be ignored, enterprises should maintain confidence.

According to his disclosure, the relevant policies will be tilted to the real economy in 2012, and the state will provide financial support for technological pformation of textile enterprises, and the financing environment is expected to improve.

Xu Wenying believes that the era of high cost has arrived. The cost of labor has risen by 15%~20% this year.

At present, domestic cotton prices are higher than international cotton prices, forcing export products to increase their added value.

Now, the export of cotton textiles has shown a trend of decreasing in quantity and rising in price.
