Analysis on the Economic Operation of China's Textile Industry and the Market Environment at Home and Abroad

▲ Zhang Qian

Zhang Qian, deputy director of the Institute of Industrial Economics of the China Textile Industry Federation, said that China's textile industry is operating in a cycle of stable quantity and quality. Since 2024, China's textile industry has achieved a bottoming out recovery trend. Domestic sales of the textile industry have grown steadily. For example, online retail of basic models, sports, outdoor products, and sunscreen products is highly popular; Exports recovered slowly from a low base, and the ASEAN market played a supporting role in the export growth of the textile industry; The capacity utilization rate was improved, and the production growth rate was accelerated. From January to May, the chemical fiber output increased by 15% year on year, and the nylon output increased by 9% year on year; The overall performance of quality and efficiency has improved. Except for cotton spinning, the profits in the middle and upper reaches of the industrial chain have increased rapidly, and the profits in the nylon industry have increased by 72% year on year. Although investment confidence in the textile industry has recovered, textile enterprises still feel operating pressure. She said that against the backdrop of sluggish global economic growth, both the digital economy and the green economy will enable the industry to cultivate new quality productivity, and enterprises should seek structural improvement opportunities in the domestic demand market.

　　 Operation Analysis and Forecast of China's Chemical Fiber Industry

▲ Wu Wenjing

In 2023, the global economy will move forward difficultly, while China's economy will pick up and improve, and supply and demand will steadily improve, providing important basic conditions and active support for the smooth operation and development of the textile chemical fiber industry chain. In this context, although the chemical fiber industry faces many difficulties in operation, overall, high-quality development is still continuing to advance, and the industry's operation is gradually improving month on month. Since 2024, the operation of chemical fiber industry has shown a recovery growth trend. In the case of a low base in the same period of last year, various indicators have shown a rapid growth. It is expected that with the increase of the base, the growth rate will gradually fall back. In terms of downstream demand, the startup load in the peak season of March and April 2024 will remain high, especially the startup of texturing and weaving will be significantly better than that in the same period of 2023, returning to the high level in the same period of recent years, and falling back in May and June.

Wu Wenjing, Deputy Secretary General and Director of the Information Department of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that the chemical fiber industry is the core support for stable development and sustainable innovation in China's textile industry chain, an industry with international competitive advantages, and an important part of the new material industry. However, the development of the chemical fiber industry has entered a new stage of diminishing marginal benefits of scale. It is necessary to optimize the industrial ecology, resolve the contradiction between supply and demand, promote the high-end, intelligent and green transformation of the industry, accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, and achieve high-quality development of the chemical fiber industry through technological progress and product structure adjustment.

　　 The current situation and situation of high-quality development of new energy in China

▲ He Yanli

He Yanli, the former inspector of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission and the former vice president of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, made a special report on the Current Situation and Facing Situation of High Quality Development of New Energy in China, which broadened the horizon for the green and high-quality development of nylon enterprises.

She introduced that by the end of 2023, the installed capacity of new energy and renewable energy power generation in China had exceeded 1.5 billion kilowatts and reached 1.52 billion kilowatts, historically surpassing the installed capacity of thermal power, becoming the main body of power installation, accounting for more than 50% of the total installed capacity of power generation in China, accounting for about 40% of the world. At present, China's wind power photovoltaic technology leads the world, with significant cost reduction and parity access. China's new energy contributes significantly to carbon reduction, directly reducing carbon emissions by 2.26 billion tons.

The chemical fiber industry should accurately grasp the new situation facing the high-quality development of new energy. At present, promoting the development of new energy has become a global consensus; Wind power photovoltaic throw is the main body of new energy development; Hydrogen energy storage has become a necessary support for the development of new energy. However, the development of new energy in China is also faced with the risks of complex external environment, growing pressure on China's energy demand, insufficient land and sea space and technology iteration.

She said that the country will strengthen top-level design and improve relevant policies in the development of new energy in the future; Second, promote new energy infrastructure and build new power systems; The third is to strengthen scientific and technological innovation and R&D investment, and the fourth is to accelerate the deepening of energy system reform. Our chemical fiber industry should accelerate green development and jointly promote the high-quality development of new energy in China.

Representatives from upstream and downstream enterprises in the domestic nylon production chain, such as master batch, finish additives and equipment, introduced the overall development status, market operation, industrial technology upgrading, new product development, green development and other contents of the nylon industry, with special emphasis on the supporting role of master batch and finish additives in the research and development of new nylon products. Everyone agreed that it is necessary to strengthen product research and development, carry out differentiated product development, actively expand the application fields of downstream markets, and the industry enterprises should jointly protect the market to achieve high-quality development of the nylon industry.
