The overall shrinking of foreign trade exports, how to break through the textile equipment industry?

Exports of most products slowed due to weak demand and reduced competitiveness. Exports of most products remained sluggish due to weak overseas demand and declining domestic manufacturing competitiveness against the backdrop of rising input costs. Exports weakened against the backdrop of a sluggish global economy. As the performance of the global economy has remained sluggish since the beginning of the year, China's exports remained relatively weak. Since the second half of 2015, the pace of economic recovery in the United States has slowed significantly, while the euro area and Japan are still on the brink of deflation. In addition, with the tightening of overseas financing conditions and shrinking global demand, economic growth in emerging markets has slowed significantly. In May, exports and imports fell 4.1% and 0.4% year-on-year, respectively. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, China's exports fell further in May (year-on-year, the same below; all data are in U.S. dollars) by 4.1%, after a slight decline of 1.8% in April. Meanwhile, imports edged down 0.4% after falling 10.9% in April. On a seasonally adjusted basis, exports and imports fell 6.2% and 4.7%, respectively, in May, after falling 0.2% and 7.3% in April. 2016 was a year of rapid development in the export of textile equipment. Many traditional textile equipment began to focus on exporting to actively participating in exporting. The main reason for this is that since 2014, most domestic textile enterprises have relocated, withdrawn capital, and opened overseas branches. The actions of the domestic textile industry have led to the tightness of the supporting industries corresponding to the domestic textile industry, especially the textile equipment industry. As one of the earliest enterprises to enter the textile equipment industry in China, after nearly 20 years of development The rise of the textile industry, the outbreak, and entering a period of stagnation can be said that this is also the inevitable development process of any industry. For example, Apple in the United States is one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world. In the first half of 2016, your overall sales performance and profit began. It has dropped by nearly 20%, and there is little hope that this trend is continuing to reverse. What does this mean? Weak economic growth and the arrival of the ceiling of the industry, as well as the continuous growth of new technologies, new processes and new demands, and the development law of the industry will all have such an inevitable process. However, textile instruments, like the textile industry, are all rigid demands. Although the textile industry has weak growth in China, its growth rate is very fast in Southeast Asia and Africa. What does this mean? In fact, the textile demand market has not changed much. The only change in the textile industry is the transfer of resources and funds in the region. Similarly, the textile equipment also corresponds to the transfer process of the region. So in this case, the idea of ​​exporting textile equipment is clear. How should instrument foreign trade break through? It is believed that the first step in the export of textile equipment is to understand its own advantages and disadvantages. At present, domestic textile equipment can basically meet domestic demand, but there is still no international brand influence in terms of brand building and quality control. Why do many tenders clearly require the import of international brands, and when domestic textile equipment brands can appear in many tender descriptions, the quality control of domestic textile equipment is guaranteed. At present, the advantage of the domestic textile testing instrument industry is that the production process is good, the quality control is gradually improving, the price advantage is obvious, and the export has advantages in terms of price and quality, but the disadvantage is that the failure rate control is uncertain, and overseas after-sales maintenance is expensive. , Generally, international brands have branches and offices in each country or region, but many domestic textile instruments do not have this condition overseas, which is a problem that foreign customers are more worried about when purchasing textile instruments. Secondly, domestic textile instruments have strong support from the government in terms of export, and can enjoy export tax rebates and foreign trade convenience. This is also a series of trade agreements such as free trade agreements that the country has actively launched with many countries and regions. Preferential policies such as trade agreements for textile instruments. Therefore, textile equipment enterprises can rely on these convenient conditions to speed up foreign trade exports. Third, the textile equipment industry must have a break-in period to enter the unfamiliar market. Therefore, the current domestic textile equipment industry does not need to intervene in the end customer market for foreign trade exports. It is mainly a regional agency model, which is also a common model for many foreign trade exports. It is believed that: If you find a foreign agent, you can completely get rid of the foreign trade after-sales, and concentrate on the expansion of foreign trade customers and the control of product quality. After completing the above steps in foreign trade export of textile equipment, you can basically try your best in foreign trade, lasso the direction of foreign trade export, and then summarize and analyze the problems encountered in foreign trade to optimize, grow first and then dominate.

It isn't just about being on textile testing equipment anymore–it's about maximizing the potential of the platform of manufacturing.
