Three-minute introduction to the macroeconomic environment of the textile industry
Since the beginning of this year, due to the continuous impact of multiple complex factors such as repeated epidemics, prolonged geopolitical conflicts, energy shortages, high inflation, and tightening monetary policy, the downward trend of the global economy has gradually become clear, demand-side pressure has become more significant, and the risk of economic recession has increased significantly.
At the end of the third quarter, the global manufacturing industry entered a state of contraction. In September, the J.P. Morgan Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) was 49.8, which was the first time it fell below the boom-bust line since July 2020. The new orders index was only 47.7. Business confidence fell to a 28-month low;
The OECD consumer confidence index has stayed at 96.5 since July, staying in the contraction range for 14 consecutive months;
The global trade in goods barometer index remained at the benchmark level of 100 in the third quarter. However, according to calculations by the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB), after excluding price factors, global trade volume fell by 0.9% month-on-month in July and only increased by 0.7% month-on-month in August.
Affected by tightening liquidity and expectations of economic downturn, global commodity prices gradually fell after August, but the overall price level is still at a high level. The IMF energy price index in September was still at a year-on-year level. An increase of 55.1%.
Inflation has not yet been fully controlled. The U.S. inflation rate peaked in June and gradually fell back, driven by factors such as slowing wage growth. However, the inflation rate in October was still as high as 7.7%. The euro zone inflation rate was 10.7%. Half of the OECD member states Inflation rates have reached over 10%.

my country’s macro-economy has withstood the impact of multiple unexpected factors such as the impact of the epidemic and the complex and severe external environment, and worked hard to repair losses. With the implementation of the national economic stabilization package and subsequent policies and measures, the macroeconomic recovery and development momentum is better than that in the second quarter. In particular, the production and domestic demand markets continue to recover, demonstrating good development resilience.
In the first three quarters, my country’s GDP grew by 3% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 0.5 percentage points from the first half of the year; the total retail sales of consumer goods and the industrial added value of enterprises above designated size increased by 0.7% and 3.9% year-on-year respectively, and the growth rates rebounded by 1.4 and 1.4% respectively from the first half of the year. 0.5 percentage points.
Exports and investment have basically achieved steady growth. In the first three quarters, my country’s total exports (denominated in US dollars) and fixed asset investment completions (excluding farmers) increased by 12.5% and 5.9% respectively year-on-year. , and make positive contributions to stabilizing the macroeconomic market.
Although my country’s macro-economy has shown a recovery momentum, the profit growth rate of industrial enterprises has not yet turned positive, the manufacturing boom has fallen under pressure, and the foundation for recovery still needs to be further solidified.

In the first three quarters, the pressure on both supply and demand sides of the textile industry was superimposed, and the growth rate of main operating indicators slowed down. After entering the peak sales season in September, market orders have increased, and the start-up rate of some links in the industrial chain has increased. However, the overall industry operation situation has not yet shown obvious signs of bottoming out. We strive to improve and demonstrate development resilience, and effectively prevent and resolve various risks. Challenges remain the core focus of the industry.
