China's Clothing Exports Will Still Face Many Difficulties In The Future.

According to China Customs statistics, last year, China completed the export of clothing and accessories 178 billion 224 million US dollars, an increase of 11.28% over the same period last year, an increase of 6.75 percentage points over the same period last year, and 31 billion 359 million clothing exports, an increase of 8.46% over the same period last year, an increase of 9.53 percentage points over the same period last year.

China clothing Chen Dapeng, executive vice president of the association, said that last year, the export volume and export volume of Chinese clothing increased substantially compared with the same period in 2012. There are two main reasons for this: the global economy has recovered moderately and the demand for the international market has recovered. Last year, the growth rate was greatly improved, based on the low base in 2012.

Some entrepreneurs at the clothing conference said that in the next few years, the situation of China's clothing export is complicated, with favorable conditions and unfavorable factors coexisting. It is still facing difficulties such as insufficient demand, excessive intra and extra cotton prices, rising production costs, excessive pressure on emission reduction and intensified international competition.

Deputy chamber of Commerce, Wenzhou, Xinjiang President Yuan Xiufan believes that although the cotton policy has changed this year to narrow the gap between domestic and foreign cotton prices, cotton quotas have not been released. Enterprises can only purchase high priced and poor quality national reserves, which is not conducive to improving the quality of products. At the same time, the per capita monthly wages of enterprises in the eastern part of the region have reached more than 700 US dollars, far higher than that of Southeast Asian countries, and China's labor cost advantage has not been achieved.

"In the international market, the inherent price advantages of our products are gradually disappearing. At the same time, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Indonesia and other surrounding countries' textile industry has developed rapidly, undertaking some of the garment industry in China. Chen Dapeng said.

It is understood that about 80% of China's textile and garment industries are small and medium-sized enterprises, and they are the main force of social employment. But compared with large enterprises, they face more difficulties in international competition, such as limited funds, low social status, and no attention.

Experts and entrepreneurs at the conference believe that the current situation of China's garment export has improved and the overall demand has been warmer. It is estimated that the amount and quantity of garment exports in 2014 will be warmer. Speed up All will be higher than the previous year, but at the same time the pressure on clothing will be long-term.

Qian Jinnai, vice chairman of the Xinjiang Federation of industry and Commerce and chairman of Dehui group, suggested that the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry has always been the direction of enterprises' efforts. With the gradual weakening of price advantage, enterprises should enhance their competitiveness through internal management, equipment transformation, personnel training, product R & D and innovation, industrial chain integration, product quality improvement and good after-sales service.

Chen Dapeng thinks. On the one hand, powerful enterprises can make full use of two kinds of domestic and foreign resources to reduce costs and expand trade channels through "going out" in overseas investment and plant construction. On the other hand, quality enterprises improve production efficiency and product quality through integration of the industrial chain, creating new and reversing the phenomenon of low added value of products.

Participants also suggested that exports should be diversified and less dependent on the three largest markets in Europe, America and Japan. In July this year, Xinjiang introduced measures to promote the employment of textile and garment industry, and put forward the construction of clothing export processing and Trade Center for Eurasia, and developing Eurasian market.

Liang Yong, deputy director of the Xinjiang economic and Information Committee, said: "playing the advantage of the new Silk Road Economic Belt to build the core area and accelerating the construction of a garment processing base to the West are the important measures to widen the export channels of Chinese clothing."
