At present, the textile industry has entered a new period of development, which is the key period of textile industry upgrading. On the one hand, a number of advantageous enterprises are improving their competitiveness through continuous innovation. Innovation consciousness, brand influence, creative culture, new technology revolution, creativity and so on, these modern enterprise elements are influencing the development track of textile industry. On the other hand, in recent years, due to the fluctuation of international oil price, the price of chemical fiber raw materials is rising, and the price of cotton is unstable, which has a great impact on the production cost of textile enterprises. The profit margin of some enterprises tends to decline, even in the state of breakeven operation; and a few enterprises are under the pressure of loss. At the same time, the deep-seated problems of long-term accumulation such as lack of independent innovation ability and serious structural contradictions are becoming more and more prominent. Since the financial crisis, with the changes of domestic policy environment and international market environment, the development of textile industry is facing new huge pressure and challenges.

Textile is an ancient and vigorous science, which plays an important role in the history of human civilization. In history, China's textile industry has played an important role in China's political, economic and cultural development. At the same time, China's textile technology and culture, through the Silk Road, have made outstanding contributions to the world's textile industry, and promoted the development of China's textile industry and the exchange of economic and cultural exchanges.

1、 The importance of textile industry in China's economic development

（1） The significance of textile industry to China's economic development

China is the largest textile and garment producer and exporter in the world. The sustained and stable growth of textile and garment export is very important to ensure China's foreign exchange reserve, balance of payments, stable RMB exchange rate, social employment and sustainable development of textile industry. With the rapid development of China's economy, China's textile industry not only creates a large number of employment for China's labor force, but also creates a domestic consumer group with the ability to pay.

（2） The influence of textile industry on China's economic development

Since the reform and opening up, China's textile industry has developed rapidly and has obvious comparative advantages in the world. It has played an important role in increasing the accumulation of national economy, solving employment, improving people's living standards, earning foreign exchange through export, and supporting industries. At the same time, it has also actively promoted the solution of the three rural issues and the improvement of rural urbanization level. With the continuous growth of domestic demand and the expansion of international market, the textile industry will still be in a rapid growth situation.

2、 The present situation of the development of China's textile industry

（1） Development achievements of China's textile industry

At present, China has a textile industry system with the largest scale and a relatively complete industrial chain in the world. Starting from the production of textile raw materials (including natural and chemical fibers), textile, weaving, dyeing and finishing to garment and other textile processing, China has formed the upstream and downstream connection and supporting production, and has become the world's first producer and exporter of textiles and clothing.

（2） Problems in China's textile industry

1. The technology and equipment are backward and the development of new products is insufficient. According to statistics, the output value of China's three major textile industries (textile industry, clothing industry and chemical fiber manufacturing industry) accounted for 61%, 28% and 11% respectively. In addition to the chemical fiber production technology and the sewing equipment of key garment enterprises close to the international advanced level, there is a big gap between the traditional technology of spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing with the world level.

2. The standard is low. At present, China's textile enterprises are still in the low-end production stage. About 80% of enterprises produce medium and low-grade products, 6% produce low-grade products, 4% produce low-quality products with low price, and only 10% of enterprises produce high-quality products.

3. The lack of high-quality human resources. The industry is short of talents in brand operation, capital operation and international communication, as well as compound talents with international business experience and adapting to international competition.

4. The degree of enterprise informatization is not high. Industrial software development strength is weak, software products are few, the proportion of enterprise management software application is low, the popularization rate of informatization is low, e-commerce is slow to start, and most enterprise management methods are backward, so it is difficult to establish a rapid market response mechanism of small batch, multi variety, high quality and fast delivery.

5. Lack of brand management concept. Traditional home textiles are more, smaller in scale, and single in product. The proportion of processing trade is still very large, and the means to deal with international competition is insufficient, and it is in the stage of integration.

6. Labor costs have risen sharply. In recent years, the state has gradually improved and introduced a series of labor and social security measures, which have taken the lead in challenging and testing China's most representative labor-intensive industry -- textile industry. There are many employees in the textile industry. With the increase of labor remuneration and labor insurance expenditure, the labor cost of enterprises is rising continuously, squeezing the profit space of enterprises. In order to recruit and retain workers, many textile enterprises have to give preferential treatment to front-line female workers and improve their labor remuneration.

7. Financing difficulties and increased risks. The development of enterprises can not be separated from the support of funds. The renewal and transformation of existing equipment needs funds, product research and development needs funds, and excessive inventory products need to supplement the working capital. These only rely on the enterprise's own funds is not enough, must get the support of credit funds. Cotton textile enterprises have a large demand for funds and the industry is in recession, which makes the capital turnover slower and takes up more funds. At present, most commercial banks take a cautious attitude towards the capital investment of textile enterprises, and the loan conditions are harsh. Some enterprises have no collateral, so it is difficult for banks to invest funds, and some even reduce the loan amount of textile enterprises.

3、 Suggestions on promoting the development of textile industry

At present, the international market of textile and garment industry is overabundant, and the advantages of different and functional commodities are prominent; the friction caused by trade barriers such as special safeguard measures, anti-dumping and technical environmental protection is increasing day by day; although the domestic market has a large space, the industry is developing rapidly, the market competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the characteristics of "high cost and high risk" of the industry are becoming more and more obvious. The development of the textile industry must be based on the domestic market, open up the international market, grasp the overall situation with the scientific outlook on development, seize the strategic opportunities, update the development concept, accelerate independent innovation, promote industrial upgrading, improve the level of enterprise management, constantly optimize the structure of technical equipment, product grade and market trade structure, and give full play to the basic role of market allocation of resources and national industry The guiding role of the policy is to standardize the market competition environment, improve the comprehensive competitiveness of the textile industry, enhance the cultural, scientific and technological connotation and marketing means contained in textiles, accelerate the transformation of economic growth mode, and strive to achieve sound and rapid development of the textile industry.

（1） Strengthen the construction of textile market and promote the development of textile industry by market.

It is necessary to scientifically and reasonably plan the market construction, give full play to the huge traction and driving role of the market in the process of industrial development, and improve the level and level of industrial development. The government should strengthen the macro guidance for the development of textile industry and provide necessary policy support to create a loose external environment for the textile industry to get rid of the predicament.

First, improve the development plan of the textile industry in the whole city, and put forward guiding opinions on enterprise layout, total capacity control and equipment renovation, so as to avoid low-level repeated construction;

The second is to implement financial subsidies to enterprises that have reached a certain scale of employment and tax payment, so as to protect the production enthusiasm of enterprises.

Third, coordinate the credit relationship between the financial sector and textile enterprises, encourage banks to lean towards enterprises with good development prospects, and help enterprises solve the problem of capital shortage;

The fourth is to put forward suggestions for the adjustment of tax policies of textile industry to the relevant departments at higher levels.

（2） Strengthen the construction of Technology Center, encourage technological innovation of enterprises, and enhance the core competitiveness of textile enterprises.

As the main body of production and operation activities, enterprises should take targeted measures according to their own actual situation, and put pressure on themselves to get rid of difficulties.

First, we should strengthen the development of new products and the adjustment of product structure, conform to market changes and improve the competitiveness of products;

Second, speed up technological transformation, eliminate backward production capacity, and improve equipment utilization and labor efficiency;

Third, we should strengthen the humanized management of the staff, especially the front-line female workers, care about the staff's life, reduce the labor intensity of the staff, improve the wages and benefits of the employees, treat people with sincerity and stabilize the staff team;

Fourth, we should strengthen the internal management of enterprises, open up sources and reduce expenditure, save energy and reduce consumption, and seek benefits from management;

Fifthly, it is necessary to study the market deeply, identify the customer base, and extend the industrial chain, so as to win more business opportunities with flexible operation.

（3） Promote the construction of textile industry cluster, promote product diversification, strengthen brand cultivation, and improve the agglomeration degree of textile industry.

It is necessary to speed up the cultivation and expansion of independent brands, promote the organic combination of technical and cultural productivity, promote the construction of brand culture with quality, innovation, rapid response and social responsibility, build brand design, production and marketing network, and open up international and domestic brand supply chain and value chain. At present, local brands have occupied the dominant position of domestic mass consumption, while the number of Chinese independent brands standing on the international market has gradually increased. The third is to face the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry, especially for the current accounting for 2 / 3 of the total industry We should increase public services, improve the socialized function of industrial clusters, and play an innovative service platform role in the fields of quality, R & D, informatization, logistics and market, training, energy conservation and emission reduction, so as to promote the structural adjustment smoothly, deeply and orderly.

（4） We should extend the industrial chain and pay attention to the extension of downstream products.

The direction of the structural adjustment of textile products should be to extend the industrial chain backward, to the direction of deep processing and finishing processing, and to the development of high-grade, high added value, multi-purpose and functional development. Enterprises should give full play to the advantages of cotton spinning production, extend the processing chain, develop the weaving industry, and strive to develop and produce multi fiber blended interwoven fabrics, high count and high density pure cotton fabrics, high-grade elastic fabrics, high-grade jacquard fabrics, natural color cotton, soybean protein fiber and other environmental protection fabrics, so as to improve the added value and provide high-quality fabrics for printing and dyeing, clothing, household textiles and industrial products.

（5） We should select leading enterprises in the textile industry, focus on cultivation, and strive for the discourse power of the industry.

In accordance with the principle of encouraging participation in resource integration and enhancing competitiveness, we should consciously focus on cultivating the competitiveness of a number of large enterprises. It evaluates the management level, independent intellectual property rights and independent brands of enterprises, selects a number of leading enterprises and compiles the directory of preferred enterprises. Support the preferred enterprises to cultivate their brands and broaden their financing channels. Support multi-channel financing for enterprises and provide medium and long-term loans for enterprise development. Support the selection of enterprises for foreign investment and M & A. Preferential loans, interest subsidy or government guarantee shall be given to enterprises for foreign M & A projects.

（6） Give full play to the coordinating role of textile industry association and build a bridge for the communication between enterprises and the government.

We should improve the construction of textile industry association, strengthen its function and give full play to its coordinating role. However, the industry association not only plays the role of coordinating peers, avoiding excessive competition and independent external communication, but also acts as an intermediary organization between the government and textile enterprises to build a bridge for the communication between enterprises and the government, and actively guide the textile industry to take a new road of industrialization. Facing the severe situation of China's foreign trade friction, the textile industry association should realize the transformation of the system as soon as possible, and become the real industry intermediary organization operating according to the market law. Through investigation and research, trade associations can put forward the overall conception, policy suggestions and work plans for the development of the industry, actively carry out information consultation, training, international cooperation and market development for enterprises, comprehensively track, guide and serve the new industrialization process of the industry, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the textile industry.

The present situation of China's textile industry has been witnessed by history. Looking forward to the future, we still have to prove that the competitive advantage of the world textile industry still belongs to China, and the goal of building a modern textile power will be realized.

One、 Current situation and development trend of international textile industry

The textile industry originated in Britain and then transferred to the United States and Europe. In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan became the main textile producer at that time. In the 1970s, the textile industry shifted its focus to South Korea, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries.

Since the 1980s, due to low labor cost, sufficient supply and balanced development of upstream and downstream, China's textile industry and Southeast Asian countries began to develop rapidly. Especially after entering the 1990s, due to the adjustment of industrial structure and the increasing labor cost load, developed countries such as Europe and the United States have basically stopped large-scale cotton textile industry production, further promoting the development of textile industry in China and Southeast Asia. In the new century, the development trend of the world textile industry presents the following obvious characteristics:

1. The regional structure of textile industry is different. The transnational flow of capital, technology, information and other factors of production in the world textile industry has always been transferred around the comparative advantages of labor resources, industrial upstream and downstream layout. The shift of the center of gravity of the world textile industry will inevitably lead to significant changes in the regional structure of the world's textile industry. In order to reduce labor costs and develop high-tech textile equipment in developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, part of the production capacity has been transferred to the third world. At present, western developed countries have shifted from the early labor-intensive industries to capital and technology intensive industries. The focus of the world textile industry is shifting to Asia. China and India have accounted for nearly half of the world's total spindles, and the Asian cotton textile production center centered on China and India has been formed. In recent years, the textile enterprises in some Southeast Asian countries, such as Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc., rely on their higher labor quality and lower labor cost advantages, adopt OEM development mode, constantly improve their deep processing ability, and form a larger market scale. They are becoming the main competitors of China's cotton textile products in the international market.

2. Technological innovation and information application are accelerating. Great changes have taken place in the production technology of the world textile industry in the 20th century. With the development of computer technology, CAD aided design, ERP enterprise resource planning and PDM Product data. With the application of high and new technologies such as management system, the level of textile technology has been constantly innovated, and the technical content of textile industry has been significantly improved. The development of information network technology has accelerated the process of purchasing, selling and storing commodities of clothing enterprises, improved the market adaptability of clothing enterprises, and made the production, design and management of modern clothing industry more modernized. Textile industry presents a new situation of "four high and one new" with high speed, high automation, high output, high quality and new technology. Since the 1990s, the clothing industry in developed countries and newly industrialized countries has turned to the high value-added clothing industry dominated by high-tech.

3. With the rapid growth of global textile and garment trade, it plays an important role in international commodity trade. The industrial chain dependence of developing and developed countries is increasing. As the main consumer market of the world's cotton textile final products, the United States has greatly increased the supply capacity of cotton textile consumption through the adjustment and upgrading of the cotton textile industry and the development of new textile technology in recent years. In the North American Free Trade Area, the regional circulation of cotton yarn production in the United States gradually formed, and the Mexican and Canadian clothing returned to the United States, resulting in the improvement of efficiency The trend of cost reduction and import dependence reduction. However, the international financial crisis since 2008 has not stopped spreading to the real economy. The demand of major consumer markets such as the United States, Europe and Japan has shrunk, and the global textile and clothing trade volume may decline to a certain extent in the short term.

4. The structural characteristics of textile products are outstanding. Low grade textiles have overcapacity and oversupply, while the supply of high-end products is still in short supply. The textile industry of developing countries, relying on their low-cost resources and labor advantages, has formed a strong competitiveness in the low-end textile market; developed countries such as the United States and Europe occupy the high-end of the textile and clothing value chain with the advantages of technology, brand and high-end market consumption ability, and have outstanding competitive advantages. The traditional clothing powers, represented by Europe and the United States, implement the brand management and development mode, pay attention to the design and development in the early stage and the promotion and sales in the later stage. Through the diversified operation of the brands, they can give full play to their advantages in capital, technology and information, etc., and constantly consolidate their high-end market position and obtain high profits. Traditional clothing powers such as France, Italy, the United States and Japan always maintain their brand monopoly in the international clothing market, and constantly improve their global sales network.

Two、 Development status and trend of domestic textile industry

The development of textile industry is of great significance to promote the development of national economy, improve people's living standards, ensure social employment, solve the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and build a well-off and harmonious society in an all-round way. With the rapid growth of China's economy and the acceleration of the construction of new socialist countryside, the market potential and demand prospect of textile industry will be more broad. Cotton textile is an essential consumer goods in people's life. With the continuous improvement of the quantity and level of people's demand for cotton textile products, the driving force for the development of the industry is constantly enhanced. China has a huge domestic demand market with a population of 1.3 billion, which will be the main driving force for the development of China's textile industry. In the next few years, the development of China's textile industry will present the following major trends:

1. Domestic textile and clothing consumption continues to heat up, and the driving factors of industry growth have changed from export led to domestic consumption. China's textile demand growth presents the market characteristics of "domestic sales growth, export driven" and domestic and foreign sales. China's textile export sales increase sharply every year, while the proportion of domestic sales is also increasing. China has a huge domestic demand market with a population of 1.3 billion, which will be the main driving force for the development of China's textile industry.

2. Technological progress and technological innovation have become the main driving force to promote industrial upgrading and product upgrading. The textile industry will focus on enhancing the ability of independent innovation, transforming the mode of economic growth, improving the quality and efficiency of economic operation, and accelerating the construction of advanced textile productivity. It mainly includes "three innovations"：Innovation of science and technology, management and integration of industrial chain. The use of computer technology, CAD aided design and other high-tech transformation of the traditional textile industry, as well as the application of new materials and new processes, will effectively promote the structural adjustment of China's textile industry, greatly improve the level of China's textile technology, and improve the technical content and product grade of China's textiles. The extensive application of ERP, PDM Product data management system and information network technology will speed up the circulation process of goods purchase, sale and storage of textile enterprises, further standardize the operation process of enterprises, accelerate the production efficiency of enterprises, and greatly improve the market adaptability of enterprises. The textile industry will gradually adapt to the mainstream of international consumption trend, shift from low-grade products to high-quality, high-grade and high-value-added products, gradually improve the upstream and downstream industrial chain, and move forward to the high-end value chain.
