Ten years of extraordinary prosperity

High quality development of textile industry

Sun Ruizhe

President of China Textile Industry Federation

The ten years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a milestone in the history of the development of the Chinese nation. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has brought socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era at the height of historical development. Building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way has achieved the first centenary goal on schedule, and the Chinese nation has made a historic leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong. As an important participant in Chinese style modernization, textile industry resonates with national prosperity, national rejuvenation and people's happiness. It develops in the trend of the times and advances in the general trend of historical progress.

Over the past decade, the industry has been guided by Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, thoroughly implemented Xi Jinping's economic thought, and comprehensively implemented the decisions, arrangements and policy requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. Focusing on "science and technology, fashion and green", the industry has accelerated the transformation from made in China to created in China, from China's speed to Chinese quality, and from Chinese products to Chinese brands. Scientific and technological innovation, brand building, personnel training and green development have leapt to a new level, and the goals set in the outline of building a textile power (2011-2020) have been basically achieved. The research of Chinese Academy of engineering shows that textile industry is one of the five advanced industries in the world.

Over the past decade, the position of the industry in the global value chain has been steadily improved, and the advantages of industrial scale and system have been strengthened. The industry's manufacturing capacity and international trade scale rank first in the world. China's total fiber processing volume increased from 45.4 million tons in 2012 to more than 60 million tons in 2021, accounting for more than 50% of the world's total fiber processing; The output of chemical fiber increased from 38.37 million tons in 2012 to 67.09 million tons in 2021, accounting for more than 70% of the world. China's textile industry stands on the top of the world industry.

A little thread, showing toughness; A little bit, carrying the people's livelihood; A little bit, connecting the world. In the past decade, with high-quality development and historic achievements, China's textile industry has established an industrial image of "innovation driven technology industry, culture led fashion industry, and responsibility oriented green industry", The industrial orientation of "pillar industry of national economic and social development, basic industry of solving people's livelihood and beautifying life, advantageous industry of international cooperation and integrated development" is constructed, and the industrial vision of "the main driver of world textile science and technology, the important leader of global fashion, and the powerful promoter of sustainable development" is outlined.

The mountains and rivers are covered with beautiful scenery, and in the prosperous times, they are written in splendid chapters. After ten years of hard work, ten years of hard work and ten years of leapfrogging, China's textile industry has delivered an answer that is worthy of the times and can stand the test.

First, focus on high-quality development,

Textile industry is the pillar industry of national economy and social development

In the face of the profound evolution of world economic and trade relations and the significant changes in major domestic social contradictions, the industry has actively promoted the supply side structural reform, and has always maintained a steady and progressive development trend.

Quality reform, efficiency reform and power transformation were systematically promoted, and the formation of modern textile industry system was accelerated. With the continuous optimization of production capacity structure, high-end, intelligent and green products, the manufacturing capacity has been steadily improved. The self-sufficiency rate of chemical fiber and fabric is more than 95%, that of yarn is more than 90%, and that of equipment is more than 80%; The localization rate of key basic parts of high-end equipment is more than 50%; Textile supporting self-sufficiency is in the forefront of China's industrial system. The proportion of fiber consumption of clothing, household and industrial end products is adjusted from 46.4:28.1:25.5 in 2015 to 40:27:33 in 2020. China has become the country with the widest coverage of fiber production varieties, and the total production capacity of high-performance fiber accounts for more than one third of the world.

The industrial ecology is more stable and robust through the integration of large, medium and small-sized enterprises and the coordination of upstream and downstream. The intensification and internationalization of Chinese textile and garment enterprises has become an indispensable part of the global supply chain. From 2012 to September 2022, a total of 99 textile enterprises were listed on the Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing stock exchanges, and the net amount of funds raised by initial issuance exceeded the sum of the previous 20 years. A large number of small giant enterprises, single champion enterprises and leading enterprises in the industrial chain have emerged in large numbers. In the list of Fortune 500 and Forbes China's top 50 innovative enterprises in 2022, 6 and 2 textile enterprises were selected respectively.

The epidemic situation of new crown pneumonia is the touchstone of development effect. At the critical moment under the epidemic situation, the textile industry returned to work and production at the first time. The timely and sufficient supply of emergency prevention and control materials such as masks and protective clothing has effectively guaranteed people's lives and made outstanding contributions to global epidemic prevention and control. "The epidemic situation should be prevented, the economy should be stable, and the development should be safe". The industry should seek balance and optimal solution among multiple objectives. In 2021, the operating revenue of textile enterprises above Designated Size will reach 5174.94 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 12.3%; The total profit was 267.68 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 25.4%; The operating revenue margin reached its highest level since 2018.

The industry plays an irreplaceable role in stabilizing economic development, balancing the balance of payments, creating employment space and promoting the improvement of people's livelihood.

Second, promote common prosperity,

Textile industry is the basic industry to solve people's livelihood and beautify life

With people as the center and development as the center, the industry reflects the people's livelihood temperature of "clothing and quilt world" and the value pursuit of protecting human rights.

The development of textile industry in the past decade is a process of continuously serving the people's better life and fulfilling the mission of strengthening the country and enriching the people. From meeting the material needs to meeting the spiritual needs, from improving the quality of life to improving the quality of life, from promoting consumption upgrading to promoting industrial upgrading, increasing varieties, improving quality and creating brands, the industry conforms to the changes of major social contradictions, and effectively meets the growing needs of the people for a better life. When the per capita GDP is 10000 US dollars, the quantity and structure of China's per capita fiber consumption have reached the level of 20000-30000 US dollars per capita GDP of medium developed countries. Employment is the biggest livelihood. The textile and garment industry chain is long and highly related, and the proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry reaches 99.8%. Diversified ecology and low entry threshold endow the industry with huge employment capacity and innovation and entrepreneurship space. The industry has promoted the employment of more than 20 million people in the whole society. The development of the industry directly benefits "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", which not only promotes the production of natural fiber, but also provides difficult, suitable and promising jobs for rural migrant workers. The development of the industry makes the process of common prosperity visible, tangible and real.

Textile industry is one of the most abundant industries in China's basin economy and cluster economy. Over the past decade, industrial development has been deeply integrated into regional major development strategies. Due to the poor industrial development in the eastern and western regions and the supply-demand relationship between the central city and the surrounding towns, the textile industry has become an important engine to promote regional coordinated and integrated development. Focusing on the development of the Yangtze River economic belt and the construction of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area, the eastern region is forming a world-class fashion birthplace, and a number of world-class textile industrial clusters are rising rapidly. In the process of industrial linkage and gradient transfer, industries in Guangxi, Guizhou, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan and other central and western regions have achieved leapfrog development. Especially in Xinjiang, the development of textile industry has greatly improved the regional economy and people's life in the past ten years. "Xinjiang is no longer a remote area, but a core area and a hub area." The industry has made positive contributions to maintaining social stability and long-term stability in the border areas. County and township are the main carriers of textile industry cluster. In 2022, among the top 100 counties in China, 8 of the top 10 counties have textile as their characteristic industries; 43 counties with GDP over 100 billion, most of them regard textile and garment industry as the pillar industry. At present, China Textile Federation has 210 textile industrial clusters in China, covering more than 200000 enterprises, including 16000 Enterprises above the designated scale. The textile industry cluster plays a key role in consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural comprehensive revitalization, and in building a new type of industrial, agricultural and urban-rural relationship.

3. Double circulation pattern of service,

Textile industry is an advantageous industry of international cooperation and integration development

It is a strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee according to China's development stage and environmental changes to build a new development pattern with domestic big cycle as the main body and domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other. In the new development pattern, the textile industry has created an independent, controllable, safe and reliable industrial system, which has effectively dealt with the adverse effects of the game between big powers and geopolitical changes on the industry.

The industry firmly grasps the opportunity of building a unified national market and takes expanding domestic demand as the strategic basis for industrial development. In 2021, the retail sales of clothing, footwear, knitwear and textile products of units above the national quota will reach 1384.2 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 12.7%; The retail sales of online wear goods increased by 8.3% year on year; The per capita clothing consumption expenditure was 1419 yuan, up 14.6% year on year, accounting for 5.9% of the per capita consumption expenditure. The industry actively explores the advantages and potential of China's "world market". The superposition of digital economy and real economy promotes the deepening and extension of consumption space. The potential of rural market and sinking market has been released, and cross-border e-commerce platforms such as sheen are popular overseas. Add cultural creativity and product innovation to promote the formation and enrichment of product value. The application of IP, the rise of national tide, the innovation and development of virtual idol and time Shangyuan universe. Superimpose lifestyle and consumption scenarios to promote the segmentation and integration of category innovation. Wearable intelligent textiles and big health are becoming the important direction of industrial value chain extension.

Integrate global resources and serve the global market. From fiber raw materials, design innovation to production circulation and brand operation, the textile industry is an important field of international cooperation and a key force to maintain the toughness and stability of the global textile industry chain supply chain. In the past ten years, the export volume of textiles and clothing has increased from US $255.1 billion in 2012 to US $315.5 billion in 2021, accounting for more than one third of the global textile and garment exports, and the trade scale has steadily ranked first in the world. The industry actively integrates into the "belt and road" construction, develops an open economy at a high level, and speeds up the pace from "product going out" to "capacity going out", "brand going out" and "capital going out". Since 2012, the total foreign investment of the industry has exceeded US $11 billion, effectively driving the industrial development of Southeast Asia, Africa and other regions. The entry into force of RCEP agreement brings new opportunities for the industry to create a more diversified and efficient trade market pattern and production capacity cooperation system. The ability of enterprises to allocate resources around the world is also increasing. Anta, Hengli, Shenzhou, Hengshen, and Li Ning integrate international resources and build competitive and cooperative advantages through mergers and acquisitions and holding shares.

Over the past decade, China's textile industry has taken practical actions to build a global textile industry chain supply chain system that is safe, stable, smooth, efficient, open, inclusive, and win-win. The international influence of the industry is growing, and the circle of partners is becoming wider and wider. China's textile industry is steadily transiting from "approaching" to "stepping into" the center of the world textile stage, and from actively "integrating" to gradually "leading" the development of the world textile industry.

4. In scientific and technological innovation,

Promoting the transformation of traditional industries into sunrise industries

"Enterprises are the main body of innovation. With first-class technology, traditional industries can also become sunrise industries." General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions have pointed out the direction for the high-quality development of the textile industry and provided the fundamental follow-up.

Over the past decade, the industry has always placed innovation at the core of the overall development. R & D input and innovation output of the industry have been greatly increased, and the collaborative innovation mechanism of innovation infrastructure and industrial chain has been constantly improved. The industry has broken through a number of "neck sticking" technical problems. In 2016-2021, 15 achievements in the textile industry won the national science and technology award. We have successfully built 2 national manufacturing innovation centers, 6 state key laboratories and 81 national enterprise technology centers. On the whole, textile technology innovation has entered the coexistence stage of "following, running and leading" from "following and running together".

One generation of materials, one generation of industry. The breakthrough of fiber materials is the source and forerunner of industry design innovation, process innovation, equipment innovation and product innovation. The breakthrough of materials promotes the reconstruction and upgrading of industrial system. Over the past decade, focusing on self-control, high-performance fiber innovation has developed rapidly. The key technology and equipment of dry jet wet spinning high performance carbon fiber industrialization led by Zhongfu Shenying has broken the long-term monopoly of foreign countries. T1000, M40, M40J, m55j and other high-end carbon fiber products have the ability of engineering preparation, and 25K large tow carbon fiber has been industrialized. In 2021, China's carbon fiber production and sales will exceed 20000 tons, and the industry as a whole has reached the international advanced level. Breakthrough has been made in key technology and equipment of 1000 ton para aramid fiber engineering, and high strength and high modulus para aramid products have been localized; High strength and high modulus polyimide fiber, meta aramid fiber, polyphenylene sulfide fiber and continuous basalt fiber have achieved rapid development. In the past decade, the development and application of functional textiles have been strongly supported by the emergence of differentiated and functional fiber materials such as conductive intelligence, ecological bacteriostasis, functional heat preservation, quick drying and cool feeling, and green circulation. High efficiency and low resistance melt blown, nanofiber materials and three repellent and one anti-medical materials developed by the industry are widely used in protective masks, protective clothing, isolation clothing, etc., and play an important role in the fight against new crown pneumonia.

"You can go up to nine days and catch turtles in five oceans." Scientific and technological innovation redefines the value form, market space and scene boundary of textile industry. From spaceships, spacesuits to deep-sea ropes, textiles follow our every step towards deep sea, deep earth, deep space and deep blue; From the plateau railway to the undersea tunnel, textiles pave a splendid and smooth road, supporting the extension of the economic artery every kilometer; From a mask, a car to a building, textiles are integrated into every field of life guarantee, ecological protection and life improvement. With the development of material technology and industrial textiles, the trend that everything can be woven is more obvious. In 2021, the processing capacity of industrial textile fiber is 19.35 million tons, nearly double that of 2012, accounting for one third of the total fiber processing capacity.

Digital economy promotes the renewal of industry elements, process reengineering and scene extension. Over the past decade, remarkable achievements have been made in the construction of intelligent production lines for chemical fiber, spinning, printing and dyeing, nonwovens, knitting, clothing, and home textiles. The labor force for ten thousand spindles of cotton spinning decreased from 60 to 15; The whole process digitalization of chemical fiber intelligent factory has been realized. Network collaborative manufacturing, large-scale personalized customization, small order fast reverse flexible manufacturing and other new formats and models are developing rapidly. Industry enterprises are active in "going to the cloud, using numbers and giving wisdom". In 2021, the overall development level of the integration of industrialization and industrialization will reach 56.6, 18.4% higher than 47.8 in the early stage of the 13th five year plan.

5. In the rise of culture,

Building the influence and discourse power of Chinese fashion

Historically, every adjustment of relative strength between countries will bring about changes in cultural centers and fashion centers. With the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation entering an irreversible historical process, China's speed and Chinese miracle build confidence and confidence in the consumer market; Chinese history and Chinese civilization contain the details and charm of fashion development; China's concept and plan attract worldwide recognition and participation. The industry has ushered in the best opportunity to transform cultural confidence into brand confidence and product confidence.

Over the past decade, the industry has focused on masters, big brands and major events, and the fashion leading force and discourse power have been steadily improved. From Hanfu fever, Wenbo fever to intangible cultural heritage craze, Chinese traditional culture is gathering value torrent in a systematic way. Clothing brands such as Li Ning and bosden are considered to be the beginning of the current "new national trend". The industry continues to tap the value of different regional cultures, forming differentiated and characteristic value symbols and fashion products. Miao embroidery, Tibetan blanket, Chao embroidery and other national culture and intangible cultural heritage culture are radiating more and more value of the times. The sense of community of the Chinese nation has been strengthened in the development of the industry.

From color, fiber, yarn to fabric, clothing and home textile, the industry has formed a collaborative research system covering all aspects of the industry chain and a release mechanism relying on the exhibition platform of the whole industry chain and China International Fashion week. New technologies such as artificial intelligence have been applied to the design and development of the whole industry chain. Over the years, the textile and garment industry has continued to improve the brand cultivation and promotion system, the market awareness and international influence of independent brands have been continuously improved, and the industry's creative level and talent quality have been improved. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, there are more than 100 undergraduate colleges and 300 higher vocational colleges with clothing design and engineering major; There are about 4500 clothing and home textile brands in major domestic commercial entities, about 85% of which are independent brands. The original trend brand is gradually mature in quality, design and culture. The industry has formed a vivid situation of collaborative development of manufacturing brand, consumer brand and regional brand.

As the main value carrier of fashion development, the status of excellent brands has been further consolidated. Bosden was selected as one of the top 50 most valuable clothing brands in the world by brand finance for two consecutive years, and the brand recognition of "down jacket experts" continued to consolidate; Focus on the men's clothing of Jinba for 42 years, release the strategy of "high-end new domestic products", and strengthen the concept of "made in China by eggplant"; From "warm the whole world" to "Rongyao Xinsheng", Ordos brand has been continuously strengthened, ranking 51st among China's 500 most valuable brands in 2022

Chinese design, Chinese brand and Chinese platform are gaining more and more recognition and respect in the world. Concept is brand, flow is brand, ecology is brand. The development of new economy and new platform promotes the renewal and reconstruction of traditional brands and helps the derivation and rise of new brands.

6. In the process of green transformation,

Conservation of industrial foundation and future

Sustainable development is a global consensus. The textile industry adheres to the principle that protecting the ecological environment is to protect the productive forces, and improving the ecological environment is to develop the productive forces. Taking the "double carbon" goal as the strategic orientation, the textile industry will promote the green and low-carbon circular development of the industry in an orderly manner.

Waste plastic bottles are recycled and processed into soft fibers, which is the innovative practice of Jiangsu Ruibang Technology Co., Ltd. The company can digest 12.5 billion waste polyester bottles a year and produce 250000 tons of recycled fiber, thus reducing about 500000 tons of carbon emissions. Dali silk cultural industrial park, in the unity of economic value, ecological value and aesthetic value, interprets the industrial practice of "green water and green mountains, golden mountains and silver mountains"; Solar photovoltaic power generation, 60% of the green area, amo group's ecological factory is exploring the practical path of transformation from industrial civilization to ecological civilization paradigm.

The industry has made remarkable achievements in energy saving and water saving, pollution prevention and control, comprehensive utilization of resources and construction of green manufacturing system. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, the proportion of secondary energy in the industry reached 72.5%, the comprehensive energy consumption per 10000 yuan output value decreased by 25.5%, the water intake per 10000 yuan output value decreased by 11.9%, and the cumulative decline rates of wastewater discharge and main pollutants discharge exceeded 10%. The supply capacity of recycled chemical fiber has been significantly improved, and the resource utilization level of waste textiles has been further improved. Since 2016, 251 green design products, 91 green factories, 10 green supply chain enterprises and 11 green design demonstration enterprises have been listed in the list of green manufacturing system construction by the Ministry of industry and information technology.

Starting the "carbon management innovation 2020 action", textile industry is one of the first industrial sectors in China to put forward the carbon neutral target. The United Nations Climate Action charter for fashion industry was launched and signed, and the framework plan for promoting carbon peak, carbon neutralization in textile industry was issued. Launched the "30.60 China fashion brand climate innovation carbon neutral acceleration plan". A large number of leading enterprises, including Ordos, Luolai, taipingniao, Jinba, an Lifang, Hengli, Xinxiang Chemical fiber, CHENFENG, Weiqiao, Lutai, Shenzhou, and other 100 billion level industrial clusters such as Keqiao and Shengze have joined in. From production system, management system to innovation system and marketing system, more and more textile enterprises regard sustainable development as the overall strategy and global strategy. The dimension and connotation of China's textile and garment enterprises' social responsibility management system (CSC9000T) has been expanding, and it has begun to cover factories invested by domestic enterprises overseas. Responsible for the development of green industry, is becoming the label of China's textile.

In the past, thousands of brocades have been displayed, and now we are moving into a hundred foot pole. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to be held. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will start a new glorious journey. Knowing where to go, the more firm you are, the more courageous you will be.

China's textile industry will always adhere to the leadership of the party. Guided by Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, we should have a deep understanding of the decisive significance of "two establishment" with the "big country" in mind, enhance the "Four Consciousness", strengthen the "four self-confidence", and achieve the "two maintenance", so as to promote the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee to take root in the industry.

China's textile industry will always adhere to the people's supremacy. "People" is regarded as the value scale of industrial development and the background color of industrial development. Always put the people's interests in the highest position, rely on the people and serve the people, give full play to the role of the industry's livelihood industry, "seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.".

China's textile industry will always adhere to innovation and development. Based on the new development stage, we should carry out the new development concept, build a new development pattern, put development on the basis of our own strength, take the correct road in line with China's national conditions, adhere to the market-oriented and open-ended orientation, and promote the high-quality development of science and technology, fashion and green in the trend of the times.

"I hope you will take Zhao Mengtao as an example, be brave in innovation, be willing to contribute, and strive for improvement in work, strive to be the most beautiful fighter in the new era, and pass down the dream peach spirit from generation to generation." This is General Secretary Xi Jinping's cordial encouragement to Zhao Mengtao group of Xianyang textile group, and it is also an instruction requirement for textile workers in the new era.

On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, the textile industry will strengthen its historical self-confidence, enhance its historical initiative, never forget its original intention of serving the country, bear in mind the mission of strengthening the country and enriching the people, work hard, forge ahead bravely, and work together. With the endless heart of spring silkworms and the ambition of turning an iron pestle into a needle, the textile industry will add to the world's warmth.
