Recently, the textile industry has been hot, from favorable policies to market trends, which indicates that this traditional industry is ushering in new development opportunities.

Policy east wind blowing, intelligent manufacturing accelerated landing

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other ten departments jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Future Industrial Innovation and Development", which clearly proposed to develop six key directions such as the future textile, and promote the deep application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data in the textile industry. Under the favorable policy, more and more textile enterprises have begun to increase the efforts of intelligent transformation, and new technologies and new equipment such as intelligent spinning, intelligent weaving, and intelligent printing and dyeing continue to emerge, promoting the development of the industry in the direction of high-end, intelligent and green.

Green sustainability has become the main theme, and circular economy is promising

In the context of global carbon neutrality, the green transformation of the textile industry is imperative. Recently, the China Textile Industry Federation issued the "14th Five-Year Green Development Guidelines for the textile Industry", which clearly proposed that by 2025, the proportion of green fiber production should reach more than 25%, and the recycling rate of waste textiles should reach 30%. Under the guidance of the policy, more and more textile enterprises have begun to lay out green environmental protection fields such as recycled fibers and degradable materials, and promote the transformation of the industry to a circular economy model.

The trend of consumption upgrading is obvious, and functional textiles are sought after

With the improvement of people's living standards, consumers' demand for textiles has changed from simple warmth and cold protection to comfort and functionality. Anti-bacterial, anti-mite, anti-ultraviolet and other functional textiles are more and more favored by consumers. For example, a well-known sports brand recently launched an antibacterial quick-drying T-shirt, made of a new antibacterial fiber, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and is welcomed by consumers.

Cross-border e-commerce is booming, and Chinese textile brands are going global

In recent years, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce has opened up new market space for Chinese textile enterprises. For example, data from a cross-border e-commerce platform show that since the beginning of this year, China's textile and apparel exports have increased by 20% year-on-year, of which categories such as home wear and sportswear are popular with overseas consumers. Cross-border e-commerce provides new opportunities for Chinese textile brands to go to the world, and also promotes the internationalization of China's textile industry.
