Not “Jin” like this! See the fancy applications of nylon from the 2022 China International Fabric Design Competition
From the well-known “nylon socks” in the past to today’s textile and apparel fields such as outdoor sports, fashion down jackets, swimsuits, casual wear, shirts, underwear and home furnishings, nylon is everywhere. With excellent properties such as good elasticity, abrasion resistance, skin-friendliness and moisture absorption, nylon has become the first choice material in the field of high-end clothing. Benefiting from the continuous improvement of R&D technology and the wide application in downstream industries, my country’s nylon production increased from 830,000 tons to 4.15 million tons from 2006 to 2021. With the continuous enrichment and expansion of nylon application scenarios, more potential value and huge market prospects are beginning to emerge.
“The products participating this time have more prominent features of ‘fashion, health and green’.

He said that relying on the international professional platform of the competition can further promote the diversified innovative applications of nylon fiber in fabric product development and enhance the innovation level and market competitiveness of nylon fabric products.
In 2022, the China International Fabric Design Competition will once again join hands with Fujian Yongrong Jinjiang Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Yongrong Jinjiang”) to jointly set up the “Nylon Product Development and Application Award”, with 743 fabric products from 230 textile companies participating. Whether it is color, style, feel, technology, function and other aspects, the “fancy” applications of the products participating this time have reached a new level compared with previous years.
Trend-driven: Find the new direction for nylon development
“Nylon fabrics are not popular in the short term because of temporary consumer psychology, but because they have good performance and are in line with the fashion of leisure sports in today’s world.” Chen Baojian, chief engineer of the National Textile Product Development Center, said that the elasticity and resilience of nylon It has excellent elasticity, anti-static, anti-pilling, easy dyeing and high color fastness, which gives it unique advantages incomparable with other chemical fibers in blending applications.
Li Xiaofei, deputy editor-in-chief of “Textile and Clothing Fashion Trend Outlook”, explained at the meeting the “2023/2024 Autumn and Winter Chinese Textile Fabric Trends” researched and released by the China Textile Information Center and the National Textile Product Development Center, and interpreted the future lifestyle and consumer market , changes and trends in product development.

Regarding the consumer trends in the next 3-5 years, Yisheng, the head of Tmall Forward Insight Alliance TWTA and the head of TMIC ecological operations, introduced at the review meeting, “Fashion clothing, beauty & care, life and home furnishing, sports and leisure “, food and health, technology consumption” will be the six key innovation areas. She said that in terms of integrating with market trends, it can be seen that nylon fabrics already have functional market performance such as moisture absorption and breathability, but the fabric’s close-fitting and skin-friendly properties still need to be further improved.
Judging from the participation in this year’s “Nylon Product Development and Application Award”, the applied product categories are mainly concentrated in the three major fields of women’s clothing, leisure, and sports. The proportion of environmentally friendly certified products has reached 18%. The application functionality is related to sports and underwear applications. The scenes are closely related to antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet, and waterproof. In terms of weaving, dyeing and finishing, it integrates techniques and technologies such as jacquard double-sided knitting, ice crack wrinkle dyeing, uninsured powder indigo dyeing, environmentally friendly dyeing, fleece technology, and air interlayering. . “Guiding companies from the fiber source to improve the level of fabric product development and innovation based on market demand and fashion trends is the original intention of the nylon award.” According to the person in charge of the competition, in line with the needs of today’s consumer market, consumer environmental protection trends and this season’s fashion trends is The focus of the judging criteria for this award.
Innovative application: exploring the diverse market value of nylon
Jiang Gaoming, director of the Knitting Technology Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education of Jiangnan University, believes that the downstream application fields of the nylon products participating in this year’s competition have significantly expanded, and the application trend shows the expansion from underwear to outerwear. In addition, the fabrics participating in the evaluation have a denser structure and are developing towards high counts and high density. With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, people have higher requirements for the comfort of clothing. The application of nylon improves the comfort of the fabric, and has better skin-friendliness, moisture absorption, and breathability. In the past, nylon was not widely used due to its high cost. Now, as the size of the nylon market continues to increase, costs will also fall, and the nylon industry will develop better.
