Some people say that 2019 will be an ultra-cold winter in the textile industry;
Some people say that the textile industry is facing a reinvention;
Others say that intelligently upgraded textiles will bring a new life.
How is the development of the textile industry in 2019?
It is understood that since entering 2019, the number of textile and apparel, apparel industry, and enterprises has hovered between 13,637, which is a large gap from the average of 14,555 in 2018. The number of textile and apparel enterprises in August 2019 is 13,660, almost Low for nearly 4 years. Sure enough, after 19 years, the profits of the textile, apparel and apparel industry are shrinking.
In May-August 2019, the total profit of the textile, apparel and apparel industry was -1.3%, -0.8%, -3.5%, and -1.1%, respectively. Businessmen are pursuing profits, the industry is in a slump, profits are falling, and practitioners are switching or even going bankrupt, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the number of enterprises.
Although the number of textile, apparel and apparel industries is declining, the proportion of loss-making companies is increasing. The average proportion of loss-making companies in 16-18 was 14.9%, 14.1%, and 18.2%, respectively. The average proportion of loss-making companies in 2019 is 21.5%. In other words, 21.5 of the 100 textile and apparel industries are losing money. It is understood that the export of textiles and clothing is blocked, the domestic market is under great pressure from competition, and there are too many monks, and price wars are intensifying. Profits are naturally declining, and losses are not difficult to imagine.
The textile and apparel and apparel industries not only declined in quantity but also inferior in quality.
After 2019, the loss-making enterprises in China's textile and apparel and apparel industry have increased, especially after entering April. The number of loss-making enterprise units from April to July was 10.2%, 7.2%, 9.2%, and 10.1% year-on-year, and even more alarming was that the number of loss-making enterprise units in August increased 14.1% year-on-year. It is not difficult to imagine that the growth rate of China's textile and apparel and apparel industry losses in 19 years is expanding. The accumulated loss in August increased by 33.3% year-on-year, and the average year-on-year growth rate in January-August 2019 was 29.8%.
From the data point of view, this year's textile and apparel market is clear at a glance. No wonder practitioners say that this year's profits are shrinking, not making money, and some people even say "no loss is winning."
Total imports and exports show steady growth
Since 2015, China's total import and export of textile machinery has shown steady growth. According to customs statistics, from January to March 2019, China's textile machinery import and export totaled US $ 1.721 billion, a decrease of 1.50% compared with the same period last year. Among them: the import of textile machinery was USD 919 million, a decrease of 4.69% compared with the same period in 2018; the export was USD 902 million, an increase of 1.58% compared with the same period in 2018.
Import market maintains high growth rate
Driven by the transfer and upgrading of industries and the growth of downstream demand, textile machinery has maintained a high import growth rate. From January to March 2019, a total of 58 countries and regions imported textile machinery, with a total import value of USD 919 million, a decrease of 4.69% compared with 2018. The main importing countries and regions are mainly Japan, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Taiwan. The top five imports of trade amounted to USD 698 million, an increase of 1.83% compared with the same period in 2018, and accounting for 85.25% of the total imports.
From the perspective of imported product categories, the import of auxiliary devices and spare parts ranked first in 2018, with a total import of US $ 889 million, an increase of 7.73% compared with the same period of 2018, and accounting for 24.16% of the total import; the seven major categories of products rose three and fell four; The growth rate of auxiliary equipment and spare parts, chemical fiber machinery and weaving machinery were higher than the industry average.
One of the US sportswear giants, Undermar has cut its full-year forecast for fiscal 2019. To cut expenses, they closed underperforming stores, cut jobs and cut product procurement costs, but still narrowed their net loss to $ 17 million.
Intelligentization must be the future development trend
Intelligence is not only an inevitable trend in the development of future textile machinery equipment, but also the most important feature of the development of the textile machinery industry in recent years. As smart manufacturing related technologies continue to be vigorously promoted in the textile field, the textile industry has evolved from the intelligence of stand-alone machines to the digitization, automation and intelligence of systems.
Regarding intelligence, the current government-level guidance includes the following four points: establishing a demonstration area; improving smart manufacturing standards; promoting smart manufacturing supplier alliances; developing Internet +, big data and artificial intelligence. The intelligentization of the textile industry has achieved some promising results. At the level of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a total of 12 projects were included in the "Smart Manufacturing Pilot Demonstration Project" during 2017-2019; a total of 6 projects were included in 2018-2019. Intelligent manufacturing comprehensive standardization project; ten projects are included in the new model application project of intelligent manufacturing.
The six intelligent production demonstration lines proposed by the textile machinery industry for the spinning, chemical fiber, printing and dyeing, nonwovens, knitting, and garments have already taken shape, laying a solid foundation for the final realization of the "13th Five-Year Plan" period.
All in all, the loss of textile and apparel companies is not an exception, and the industry as a whole is in a weak state. Apparel companies are struggling to survive and are transmitted to weaving mills. Weak orders from fabric mills and prices still have a downward trend. Profits of fabric mills will probably narrow again. According to observations, conventional cotton varieties are abundant in stock, increasing domestic supply pressure; destocking is slow; and the phenomenon of dumping is increasing, and the price performance is weak. Among them, the prices of 21 yarn cards, 32 fine slants, and 40 poplins are all in the past four years. Historical low.
Therefore, from the perspective of the industry or the grey cloth market, it is an indisputable fact that the textile and apparel market is weakening. The winter of the textile and apparel industry has already arrived.
