At this stage, as the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation stabilizes, domestic and foreign markets Demand is gradually recovering, and the operation of my country’s textile industry has improved and is in the stage of continued recovery. On the basis that the decline in industry operating indicators has narrowed in June and the main economic indicators have shown marginal improvement, the industry’s production and supply capacity has further recovered in July, and domestic and foreign demand has gradually picked up. On the track of high-quality development, we have continued to take steady steps forward. , and actively build a new dual-cycle pattern for industry development.
Active supply and production decline narrowed month by month
From the supply side, my country’s textile industry production has recovered steadily, with the decline narrowing month by month. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to July, the industrial added value of the textile industry above designated size nationwide fell by 6.1% year-on-year, and the rate of decline narrowed by 0.6 percentage points from January to June.

Among them, the industrial added value of the textile industry fell by 3.7% year-on-year, and the decline narrowed by 0.8 percentage points from January to June; the textile and clothing industry fell by 11.9%, and the decline narrowed by 0.3 percentage points; the chemical fiber manufacturing industry fell by 0.7%, and the decline narrowed by 0.3 percentage points. narrower by 0.5 percentage points.
It is worth noting that due to the sharp increase in demand for epidemic prevention materials at home and abroad, the industrial textile industry has achieved positive growth in industrial added value since March. Continuous improving. According to statistics, from January to July, the industrial added value of the industrial textile industry increased by 60.0%, an increase of 2.2 percentage points from January to June.
Correspondingly, as raw materials for masks, protective clothing and other anti-epidemic materials, the output of non-woven fabrics in my country has grown rapidly. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from January to July, the output of non-woven fabrics by enterprises above designated size was 10.97%, an increase of 4.42 percentage points from January to June. The top five provinces with the largest output are Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Hubei, and Jiangsu. Except for the non-woven production of Hubei Province, which fell slightly by 6.83% year-on-year, the remaining four provinces all grew at a growth rate of 28.27%, 13.27%, 14.54%, and 5.49%.
The output of other major textile products, chemical fiber, yarn, cloth and clothing, decreased by 2.38%, 15.72%, 24.36% and 13.42% respectively year-on-year. Except for chemical fiber output, the growth rate was lower than that from January to June. In addition to a decrease of 1.4 percentage points, the declines in yarn, cloth and clothing output narrowed by 0.08, 1.57 and 0.27 percentage points respectively from January to June.

Demand recovery The domestic and domestic demand market continues to recover
From the perspective of domestic demand, as China’s epidemic prevention and control continues to consolidate, residents go shopping gradually resumes, and China’s textile and apparel domestic demand market shows a moderate recovery situation. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to July 2020, the retail sales of clothing, shoes, hats, and needlework textiles by units above designated size nationwide were 595.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 17.5%, and the decline was 2.1 percentage points narrower than that from January to June. Online consumption has improved significantly. From January to July, the national online retail sales of clothing products decreased by 0.9% year-on-year, and the decline was 2.0 percentage points narrower than that from January to June.

According to statistics from the China National Commercial Information Center, in July, the clothing retail sales of 100 major large-scale retail enterprises in the country fell by 12.4% year-on-year, and the decline significantly narrowed 10.2 percentage points month-on-month.
From the perspective of external demand, although the new crown epidemic is still raging around the world, the demand for textiles and clothing is slowly recovering, and the demand for masks, protective clothing and other epidemic prevention materials is still urgent. In July, my country’s textile industry Industry exports maintain growth. According to Customs Express data, from January to July 2020, my country exported US$156.482 billion in textiles and clothing, a year-on-year increase of 5.57%, and the growth rate was 2.41 percentage points higher than that from January to June. Among them, exports of textiles were US$90.080 billion, a year-on-year increase of 31.3%, and the growth rate was 3.5 percentage points higher than that from January to June; exports of clothing were US$66.402 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 16.6%, and the decline rate was 2.8 percentage points narrower than that from January to June.
The export of epidemic prevention materials is still supporting the growth of China’s textile exports. According to Customs Express data, from January to July, my country’s textile yarn and textile fabric exports fell by 31.7% and 27.5% respectively year-on-year. ; However, my country’s textile product exports, including masks and protective clothing, increased significantly by 128.4% year-on-year.
Shrinking investment tilts towards high quality
At present, textile companies are still cautious about future investments, and the scale of investment in the entire industry is still shrinking. However, the willingness to invest in high-performance fiber, nonwovens and other industries has increased significantly, helping the high-quality development of the textile industry. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to July 2020, the completion of fixed asset investment in the textile industry decreased by 24.5% year-on-year, and the rate of decline narrowed by 2.8 percentage points from January to June. The investment scale of the entire industry chain has shown a downward trend. The investment in the textile industry, clothing industry and chemical fiber industry from January to July decreased by 17.4%, 36.6% and 21.2% respectively year-on-year. The decline in the textile industry and clothing industry was slower than that from January to June. Narrowed by 5.0 percentage points and 1.3 percentage points, the chemical fiber industry decelerated by 4.3 percentage points.
It is understood that there is currently high enthusiasm for investment in the high-performance fiber and nonwovens industries in various places. For example, recently, Haining Hengyi, Haining City, Zhejiang Province, put into production an annual 1 million tons of intelligent environmentally friendly functional fiber project, and the second phase of a new environmentally friendly high-quality fiber project started, which will create an intelligent factory for high-performance fiber production. Zhangye, Gansu Province invested 6 billion yuan to start the construction of the carbon fiber equipment manufacturing (Zhangye Carbon Valley) project, and built a new T800 high-performance carbon fiber and carbon fiber equipment manufacturing industrial base with an annual output of 4,000 tons. China’s Jilin National Carbon Fiber Industrial Park Project and Jilin Chemical Fiber’s 15,000-ton carbon fiber project have been launched. By the end of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, the production capacity of 45,500 tons of carbon filaments and 17,000 tons of carbon fiber products will be achieved. Hubei Xiantao is comprehensively promoting the transformation and upgrading of the nonwoven industry, building a 14.7-square-kilometer nonwovens characteristic town, and promoting the transformation of the local nonwoven industry from industrial level to medical level. Fujian has started construction of the Jianyang District Health Materials Industrial Park with a total investment of 6 billion yuan. It is expected that 1 chemical fiber company, 2 non-woven fabric companies, 3 end product companies such as protective clothing, 1 supporting equipment production company, and supporting CNC will be settled. There is one manufacturing enterprise, forming a complete industrial chain cluster of sanitary supplies. </p
