Hubei textiles are mostly coastal "doing wedding dresses"

"High-quality grey fabrics, the factory price per meter is about 20 yuan, through the printing and dyeing factory in Zhejiang processing, 1 meter high-quality dyed gray FABRIC prices will rise to 32 yuan, an increase of up to 60%." Yesterday, Hubei Xiaomian Sun Ying'an, Chairman of Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xiaomian"), described the current situation of the textile industry in our province.

In the past few days, the reporter visited the leading textile enterprise in our province and found that the industrial chain of Hubei textile industry is still not sound enough. Although “spinning and weaving” has a place in the country, due to chemical fiber and “short board” printing and dyeing, the added value of Hubei textile products is not High, the overall overall benefit of the industry is difficult to effectively play, and profits are earned away by the coastal downstream enterprises.

status quo

Hubei textile industry is strong in "spinning and weaving"

"Up to 2017, our province's textile industry will have sales revenue exceeding 10 billion yuan in 15 industrial clusters, 4 billion yuan in 4 enterprises, and 10 billion yuan in self-owned textile and apparel brands." Recently, the provincial government introduced the strengthening of metallurgy and petrochemicals. Opinions on the transformation and upgrading of four advantages of traditional industries, such as building materials, textiles, etc.

The opinion pointed out that our province will form a complete and competitively competitive industrial structure such as textiles, printing and dyeing, and clothing, and increase the production capacity and added value of end consumer products such as clothing, household and industrial use. We will guide enterprises to build brand names with independent intellectual property rights and high reputations, and break through the constraints of “short legs” of chemical fiber and “bottleneck” of printing and dyeing. The textile industry is one of the pillar industries in Hubei Province. As of the end of last year, thanks to the transfer of coastal industries, the main business income of the textile industry in our province exceeded 200 billion yuan.

“Although Hubei is a big province in the textile industry, it does not mean that the entire industry chain is strong.” Sun Yingan pointed out that Hubei Textile is strong in spinning and weaving.

Xiaomian is a leading enterprise in the textile industry in Hubei. In 2012, sales revenue exceeded 2 billion yuan. "2 billion yuan in revenue, spinning and weaving occupy the bulk." Sun Yingan said.

In fact, filial piety cotton is only a "microcosm" of the textile industry in Hubei. From the planned economy to the market economy, Hubei has always been one of the major textile bases in China, with yarn and grey cloths ranked first in the country.

the reason

Chemical fiber "short board" and printing and dyeing "bottleneck"

However, as a traditional textile province, Hubei's textile industry also has weak links. Compared with coastal areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hubei faces a relatively poor level of competitiveness and profitability, but in essence it is poor in the market and industrial chain. Sun Yingan stated that there is a “short board” of chemical fiber and a “bottleneck” of printing and dyeing in the textile industry in Hubei.

From 2006 onwards, Hubei required about 400,000 tons of chemical fiber staple fiber, but the actual spinning capacity of Hubei Chemical Fiber was less than 150,000 tons, mainly in Fuyang and Yichang. However, according to Hubei's “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, by the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the province’s chemical fiber output will reach 500,000 tons, and the industry’s main business income will exceed 10 billion yuan. "But by that time, the demand for chemical fiber in Hubei textile industry may be more than 400,000 tons." Sun Yingan said.

Hubei produces billions of meters of high-quality grey fabrics each year, but its own printing and dyeing volume is less than 1 billion meters. Sun Yingan said that the constraints of printing and dyeing “bottleneck” have made it difficult for Hubei textiles to realize their overall benefits. Take Xiaoxiao Cotton as an example. Currently, 30 million meters of grey fabrics are produced annually, but most of them still have to go to Shandong and Zhejiang provinces for printing and dyeing. “Zhejiang and other coastal areas enjoy the technological progress and technological transformation of the textile industry in Hubei Province. We are They do 'marry clothes'. Hubei's shuttleless looms produce difficult, high-quality grey fabrics for printing and dyeing in Zhejiang, they then earn foreign exchange through exports, or return to Hubei clothing companies to make money."

Sun Yingan calculated the accounts for the reporter: High-quality grey cloth, the factory price per meter is about 20 yuan. Through the printing and dyeing plants in Zhejiang, the price of 1-meter high-quality dyed grey fabrics will rise to 32 yuan, an increase of up to 60 yuan. %. If they are made into ready-made garments, clothing will be repeated several times in accordance with the brand's popularity, ranging from hundreds to several thousand dollars.

Sun Yingan pointed out that the grey fabric is only the most upstream product of the textile industry. Due to the imperfect industrial chain in Hubei and the lack of apparel brands, the added value of the Hubei textile industry is not high, and the overall overall benefit of the industry is also difficult to effectively play. The money is all downstream of the coast. Businesses earn away.

Way out

Pushing technological innovation to target high-end market

“At present, the textile enterprises in the province are all struggling to survive. They must rely on scientific and technological innovation to actively transform themselves and make up for their own shortcomings.” Sun Yingan said that for more than 20 years, Xiaoxiao has vigorously promoted its fine brand strategy and continuously developed new products. In 2007 alone, he was the leader of the research group and developed 120 high-grade cotton yarns. "Tian Xian Li card" series of cotton yarn won the "Hubei famous brand" title, and by the China Textile Association as "weaving yarn users trust products", Xiao-Mian clothing brand is also well-known in the domestic market.

The filial cotton growth pattern gradually changed from quantity-oriented to variety-quality and profit-oriented, and the enterprise changed from labor-intensive to technology-based trade, and incorporated high-tech spinning technology into traditional spinning to achieve textile and human comfort and moisture absorption. , Perspiration and other health functions are matched to develop new functions such as knitted yarns, combed yarns, siro spinning, compact spinning, embedded spinning and other new high-end spinning and high-end clothing and home textiles. In-depth research and development of green textiles, science and technology are The engine promotes the development of the company.

Promoting technological innovation with technological innovation is not the "patent" of Xiaoxiao Cotton. Zhou Xianggui, Chairman of Zhongxiang Jinhanjiang Cellulose Co., Ltd. suggested that Hubei universities and colleges are rich in resources. Enterprises can strengthen cooperation with universities, strengthen independent research and development, and combine independent intellectual property rights with high-efficiency projects.

Zhou Jiagui believes that the added value of the upstream products of the textile industry is low, and it is disadvantageous in the fierce market competition. In recent years, through its own invention patent, Jinhanjiang has targeted the production of cotton cellulose in high-end markets such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and food. The production of cotton cellulose not only accounts for 25% of the domestic market, but also exports to the European Union. South America, Southeast Asia, more than 10 countries.

Compared with coastal areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hubei faces a relatively poor level of competitiveness and profitability. However, in reality, in the market and industrial chain, Hubei textile industry has a “short board” of chemical fiber and a “bottleneck” of printing and dyeing.

Gray cloth is just the most upstream product of the textile industry. Due to the imperfect industrial chain in Hubei and the lack of apparel brands, the added value of Hubei's textile industry is not high, and the overall overall benefits of the industry are also difficult to effectively play. Money is earned by coastal downstream companies. .
