Due to the restrictions on foreign export trade barriers, the reduction in export orders for China's textile printing and dyeing industry this year is almost a foregone conclusion. The impact on domestic textile auxiliaries is also obvious. However, at the same time, the domestic textile consumption level will have a greater improvement. The expansion of domestic demand will provide valuable opportunities and development opportunities for the development of China's textile auxiliary industry. Therefore, China's textile additives industry in the development of a "crossroads", we must accelerate the upgrading of products, improve the core competitiveness of enterprises, high-tech and products to expand domestic and foreign markets.
Larger gap with foreign countries
In recent years, due to well-known reasons, the production center of the textile industry has gradually shifted from Asia to the United States, and the demand for textile auxiliaries in the Asian region has grown rapidly. At present, China is the world's largest textile producer and exporter, playing a decisive role in the supply and demand balance and trade pattern of the world textiles. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, higher demands are placed on the development of the textile industry, which not only stimulates the competition in the textile industry, but also sets new requirements for the variety and quality of domestic textile auxiliaries.
At present, there are nearly 100 categories of textile auxiliaries in the world, nearly 16,000 varieties, and the annual output is about 4.1 million tons. Among them, Europe and the United States textile additives have 48 categories, more than 8000 varieties; Japan has 5500 varieties. According to reports, in 2004 the world textile auxiliaries market sales reached 17 billion US dollars, far exceeding the dye market sales that year. There are nearly 2,000 types of textile auxiliaries that can be produced in China. There are more than 800 types of textile auxiliaries that are frequently produced, and there are about 200 main types of textile auxiliaries. At present, the output of textile auxiliaries in China exceeds 1.5 million tons, and the output value is more than 40 billion yuan, which exceeds the output value of China's dye industry.
There are about 2,000 manufacturers of textile auxiliaries in China, most of which are private enterprises, mainly in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shanghai, and Shandong. China's textile auxiliaries can meet the domestic textile market demand of 75% to 80%, domestic textile auxiliaries output 40% exported to foreign countries. However, domestic textile auxiliaries have a large gap in variety and quality, as well as in the synthesis and application of technology, compared with the international advanced level. Special and high-grade textile auxiliaries have to rely on imports.
The world average of the ratio of textile auxiliaries to fiber production is 7:100, 15:100 in industrialized countries such as the United States, Germany, Britain, and Japan, and 4:100 in China. It is reported that about half of the environmentally friendly additives are used in the world's textile auxiliaries, while China's environmentally-friendly textile auxiliaries account for about one-third of the existing products.
Heavy pressure on energy saving and emission reduction
Energy conservation and emission reduction has now become a basic national policy in the long-term economic development of the country. Since 2007, the state has formulated a series of policies for access conditions for heavily polluting industries. At present, the textile industry, especially the dyeing and finishing industry, has been identified by the country as a heavily polluting industry. In 2008, China's energy-saving emission reduction efforts to further increase, textile auxiliaries of energy-saving, water-saving, reducing consumption, emission reduction situation is very grim.
The impact of textile auxiliaries on the environment and ecology during production and application and the resulting pollution cannot be ignored. Therefore, vigorously developing environment-friendly textile auxiliaries that are in line with ecological development is extremely important for improving the quality and technical level of textile auxiliaries and improving the overall competitiveness of auxiliaries. It is the key to the sustainable development of the industry. At the same time, textile auxiliaries must not only meet the market demand of the domestic dyeing and finishing industry, but also meet the quality standards for textile exports.
From the current textile auxiliaries industry, some key enterprises can focus on the development of new and high technologies and products, continue to carry out technological transformation, adopt advanced energy-saving and water-saving process technologies, and establish a relatively complete “three-waste†treatment device and put it into normal operation. A considerable portion of environmental protection costs has been digested. However, there are a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises that are restricted by technology, equipment, and funds. It is still a long way to go to fully meet the state's "three wastes" emission standards.
At the same time, the continued appreciation of the renminbi in 2008 has made it more difficult for textile auxiliaries export companies to make quotations, operating costs continue to rise, and business risks have further increased. In 2007, the impact of the state's tax rebate on export of chemical and textile printing and dyeing industries was difficult to eliminate within a short period of time. In addition, the continuous increase in raw materials and energy prices continued to squeeze the company's profit margins. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for some companies with medium- and low-end products, low technology levels, and added value.
High-tech development
In 2008, for textile auxiliaries, challenges and opportunities coexist, with favorable and unfavorable factors.
The favorable factor is that China currently produces 48 billion meters of printing and dyeing cloth every year, of which exports account for 26% of the total, and export volume reaches 12.5 billion meters, which occupies an important share in the international market. With regard to domestic demand, the process of urbanization in our country has only just begun. There is still a lot of room for development. With the steady and rapid growth of China's economy, the income of urban and rural people continues to increase, and the domestic consumer goods market will continue to grow. The consumption level of clothing, decoration and industrial textiles will inevitably increase significantly, and there is no doubt about the expansion of domestic demand. This provides a good external environment for the continued development of China's textile printing and dyeing industry, and also provides valuable opportunities for the development of China's textile additives industry. The domestic market for 1.3 billion people is huge, which is unmatched by any other developing country.
The unfavorable factor is that textile textile printing and dyeing enterprises in the textile auxiliaries industry have experienced a continuous decline in the growth of export shipments of printing and dyeing cloths in the recent two years. From January to November of 2007, there was even a negative growth of 1.37%. With the expiration of the China-Europe, Sino-U.S. textile agreement, anti-dumping, anti-subsidy, and technical barriers have always plagued textile export enterprises in China. While the cost advantage of Chinese textiles has gradually weakened, the textile industry in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam and other countries has rapidly emerged. With cheap labor and low environmental costs, it has gradually become a strong competition for Chinese companies to compete for orders in the international market. opponent. The Canton Fair this spring is a testament. In 2008, the growth rate of China's textile printing and dyeing industry fell, and the reduction of export orders was almost a foregone conclusion. This situation will certainly have a profound impact on China's textile additives industry, and competition may further intensify.
The industry believes that as long as textile auxiliaries can survive with energy saving and emission reduction, seek development with high and new technology, speed up product upgrading, and promote enterprises to change from extensive to quality-oriented, and strengthen independent innovation, they will certainly greatly increase the number of enterprises. The core competitiveness will continue to maintain a steady, healthy and rapid development momentum.
