Sichuan textile enterprises above designated size are expected to maintain double-digit growth

From January to February of this year, Sichuan's textile industry started well and generally maintained steady growth. Large enterprises, self-owned brand enterprises, and domestic sales companies have sufficient orders, and the operating rate has reached 5%. However, the difficulties faced by some small and medium-sized micro-enterprises are more obvious, especially for export-oriented small and micro enterprises. Orders are reduced, employees are insufficient, funding is tight, and transition is difficult. In spite of this, Sichuan's textile industry is still optimistic about its development prospects this year, and it is expected that the industry's production and sales and benefits will continue to grow, and the main operating indicators of the above-scale enterprises are expected to maintain double-digit growth. However, due to the fact that the end market has less room for increasing consumer prices under the conditions of economic downturn, the growth rate of exports and benefits is expected to decline significantly.

Judging from the situation of the chemical fiber industry, from January to February, production and sales of viscose filaments basically maintained a steady development momentum. Viscose staple fibers and recycled polyester staple fibers were affected by the downstream market, and the market demand was relatively weak.

The pressure on the cotton textile industry is relatively high. The overall performance of yarn, cloth and raw materials in the Sichuan market is weak. The first reason is that after the Lantern Festival, the yarn and cloth market tends to be cold, and the polyester short and cotton prices are pulled down; second, the pressure on the yarns and cloths of the textile enterprises increases, the small and medium-sized textile enterprises once again fall into a large area shutdown difficulties; The shortage of funds, the product can not sell, the return of funds is less, affecting the company's raw material procurement and profits, enterprises can start to maintain the state or in a meager state.

Due to the cost advantage of Sichuan's garment industry, the industry still maintains a relatively fast growth trend under the influence of various unfavorable factors. One of the main reasons is that the recruitment of enterprises this year is easier than in previous years. Due to the difficulty of survival of garment enterprises along the coast, workers are more willing to work in the local conditions under the condition that their wages are not much different. Second, the orders are in good condition, especially the business wear shows steady growth. . However, the sales of apparel and home textile products are greatly influenced by seasonal factors. This spring has been late, the spring outfit has been delayed and the manufacturer’s capital and inventory pressures are high, and some companies have suffered losses.

The internal and external environment facing the textile industry this year is still very complicated, especially in the first half of the year. On the one hand, the international market demand is still relatively weak, and the problems faced by export companies such as insufficient demand, increased competitive pressure, and trade friction will become more prominent. On the other hand, raw material price fluctuations, rising labor costs, and the financing environment for SMEs have not been materialized. With the improvement, the textile industry may face greater difficulties.
