In view of the fact that the external environment faced by the industry is still complex and severe, the growth momentum of consumer demand in the domestic and foreign markets is generally weak, the pressure of rising commodity prices is greater, the production and operation of enterprises are more difficult, and the uncertain and unstable factors in the economic operation of the industry cannot be ignored. To this end, it is recommended that industries and enterprises should pay close attention to changes in the domestic and international economic situation, seize the country’s strategic opportunities to expand domestic demand, accelerate the cultivation of a domestic silk demand system, rely on the strong domestic market, and connect all aspects of production, research and development, design, circulation, and consumption to form demand. Drive supply and create a higher-level dynamic balance of demand, and inject strong momentum into industrial transformation and upgrading with new technologies, new business formats, and new models. At the same time, it is necessary to continuously optimize the structure of silk export commodities, promote upgrading from the low end of the value chain to the mid-to-high end, further consolidate and enhance international competitiveness, and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles reinforcing each other. In order to promote The “14th Five-Year Plan” has laid a more solid foundation for the high-quality development of the industry. </p
