2016-Analysis of the development of textile instrument industry

In 2016, the demand of the world textile industry tends to grow. However, due to the regional imbalance of economic development and consumption, it will not be obvious in China, an economy that has been developing at a high speed for more than 30 years, due to the world economy. Transfer and structural reform of China's economy, the current growth of my country's textile industry will become the norm. If these phenomena cannot be adapted, then Chinese textile companies will face more severe tests. The textile instrument industry is an industry that survives with the textile instrument industry. The turmoil in the textile industry will inevitably affect the development and trend of the textile instrument industry. At present, my country's textile instrument industry is also facing many difficulties. The first is the high-end market competition from internationally renowned manufacturers. , Followed by the price fight of domestic low-end instruments, which can be said to be internal and external difficulties. So how should my country's textile instrument industry stand out in such a dangerous situation? This article focuses on the analysis of how to make changes under the current situation. At present, my country’s textile instrument industry market is weak in domestic demand, and its growth is slow. Many textile instrument industries have even closed down directly. The export of the textile industry has declined, and the expenditure for testing and research and development has been greatly reduced. At the same time, the export quality of the textile instrument industry is insufficient, resulting in the operation of the textile instrument industry difficult. Of course, there is also the rising cost of domestic raw materials, the rising labor costs and the rising costs of various items have made the textile instrument industry more and more difficult. Of course, labor prices have become the second largest cost in the industry. Except for China, no other places in the world have appeared. Any signs of large fluctuations in labor prices. The labor price in mainland China continues to rise, leading to fierce competition in the Chinese textile instrument industry, while the textile industry costs in other parts of the world are relatively stable. The reason is: in the textile industry outside China, wages rose only a few percentage points in 2015, and such a slow rise has been offset by continued productivity growth. This is a great thing for garment production.     The wage level in the US textile industry will not change much, at least within next year. As far as the fiber textile industry is concerned, the less labor cost will naturally be, the better. The low cost makes manufacturers happy, which at least shows that there is not much cost pressure in the past few years. What's even more surprising is that by combining labor costs and material costs, the percentage of sales represented by manufacturers has dropped to around 67%, which is far lower than 85% a few years ago.     Not only that, but in countries such as the United States, the level of production technology is constantly improving, and production costs may be further reduced. Other expenses in this industry have not fluctuated too much. The transportation cost has basically not changed in recent years. Due to mature industrial technology and relatively stable prices in Europe and the United States, the competitiveness of the textile instrument industry in Europe and the United States is significantly greater than that of domestic manufacturers. This has led to the low recognition of domestic textile equipment exports to Europe and the United States. Many textile equipment manufacturers are saturated in the domestic market, and it is difficult for foreign markets Foothold deadlock.
