The United Nations announced that the world’s population reached 80 billion, by the 21 century30 years, the population should exceed 9 billionbillion.
After seeing this news, the editor’s first feeling is that more and more people want to wear clothes, and the market demand is expanding. After all, food, clothing, housing and transportation are basic needs.
Textile, the best choice for “first pot of gold”
The most important markets in the world are still developed countries in Europe and the United States. However, most of the populations in these countries are aging, the population growth rate is very low, and the growth in market demand is very limited, which is a stock market.
The future population growth will be more of a natural result of improved medical, food, and sanitation conditions in India, Southeast Asia, Africa and other places. Food and clothing are the basic needs of the population. The demand for textiles for this part of the emerging population depends on quantity. It’s definitely no less.
Because of their rich natural resources, African countries have always been “a battleground for military strategists.” However, unlike the policies of European and American countries towards Africa, my country’s strategy towards African countries has always been based on win-win cooperation, helping them build infrastructure, acquire their own hematopoietic capabilities, and gradually enter modern society.
What industry is most suitable for a country that has just begun to modernize? History has given the answer time and time again, which is the textile industry. In fact, it is not just Southeast Asia that everyone is familiar with. Even Africa, the textile industry has developed rapidly in recent years.
As early as 2020, the epidemic broke out around the world, and major textile and garment factories stopped operations. However, Africa’s apparel exports quickly recovered from the disruption in the second quarter of 2020, reaching 16.67 in the third quarter of the same year. span> billion US dollars, reaching 1.597 billion US dollars in the fourth quarter.
In 2021, Africa’s clothing exports have increased steadily, with exports in the four quarters reaching 1.674 billion billion/17.03USD/19.23USD/19.89 billion, these figures indicate that Africa’s apparel exports are gradually increasing.
As infrastructure gradually improves, whether it is Southeast Asia in the early days or Africa, which is “full of waste and waiting for development”, they will be competitors of China’s textile industry in the future. But is this completely a bad thing?
It’s a challenge, but also a bonus
Although there is competition between the emerging textile market and the established textile powers, they are more complementary, and many things are difficult to replace in a short period of time.
Take the raw material chemical fiber industry as an example. Although the output is large, the industrial threshold required to produce qualified chemical fiber products is not low. However, these industries are not so dependent on labor costs. Instead, they rely on technology and Raw material prices and talent intensity are more sensitive.
In addition, after years of development, China’s technical capabilities in textile production have become quite competitive in the world in most fields. The high-end markets in Europe and the United States have been preemptively occupied. It is very difficult for China to enter. For some emerging markets, domestic textiles, especially some high-end textiles, have absolute advantages in cost performance, and there are almost no substitutes in the world. Therefore, the international competition for low-end textiles may become more intense in the future, but for textile companies willing to delve into technology, the opportunities outweigh the challenges.
If you want to reap the dividends, you must first survive
Of course, the future is bright, but the road is full of twists and turns. China’s textile industry may be able to flourish in the future, but the current crisis is…�Cannot be ignored.
With the fermentation of the global economic crisis, the growth momentum of textile industry demand has been suppressed, especially after the release of import and export data for October The results of a year-on-year decrease of 13.53% and a month-on-month decrease of 10.79% made textile people sigh that foreign countries may really What’s more, there is no money, and even the “Christmas season” is almost gone.
Although we have been talking about expanding domestic demand and internal circulation in the past two years, after all, this does not happen overnight, so it is still difficult to balance supply and demand in a short period of time. This year’s market is already bad enough, but textile people generally expect that the market will be difficult to pick up next year. If you want to enjoy the fruits, you must first survive.
