textile industry is an important labor-intensive industries, employed more than 2000 million in direct and indirect employment related to export hundreds of millions [1]. But the financial crisis, the global real economy weak, consumption declined significantly this year, a direct result of the first 4 months of Shanghai Customs District, textile and garment exports dropped significantly. From the just-concluded 105th Canton Fair circumstances, textiles and clothing export turnover of only 3.23 billion U.S. dollars, down 11.7% compared to the previous [2], while the original large single, long single small one and the current replaced by a short one, indicating that the next phase of overall growth of textile and garment export to restore more difficult still, the pressure concentrated in the following four areas:
First, the financial crisis export market demand continues to shrink. As the financial crisis has spread and deepened, three major developed economies are in recession interval, the state consumer demand sharply. If the report pointed out that the clothing needs of the United States last year occurred in the 20th century the first time since the late 40s, after shrinking, apparel sales this year will decline further [3]. Developed economies,(Related articles: wholesale corporate gifts Textile Huanggang four n), the Shanghai Customs District, a major textile and garment export market, the demand continues to slump a direct result of textile and garment exports dropped significantly. 200 A recent large survey of textile enterprises, these enterprises in the first half of the orders were down 20% to 30% [4]. In addition,plush throws, compared with the clothing, textile yarn fabrics and products not only the face of the developed market, but also for India, Vietnam and other emerging countries, a large number of garment industry supply of raw materials. Overall decline in external demand, exports of clothing have also been developing around the shrinking of the demand be reduced upstream fabric, textile raw materials exports fell by double pressure. The first 4 months of this year, Shanghai Customs District of textile yarn fabrics and apparel products, the overall decline in exports over the same period fell 14.2 percentage points higher.
Second, the RMB exchange rate weakened relatively strong export prices competitive. Although this year, the RMB against the U.S. dollar exchange rate remained stable, but the U.S. dollar against the euro and the yen and other currencies, the RMB against the euro and the yen, the rapid appreciation of trends have emerged. As of May 6, the RMB against the euro and the yen has appreciated during the year were up by 5.1% and 7.5%. Since last October, many emerging economies, a sharp depreciation of the currency against the U.S. [5]. The international textile and apparel market is highly competitive, product prices is limited, and the RMB exchange rate firm to market our products in the international price competitiveness weakened.
three main competitors cost advantages gradually. Because our land, the rising cost of labor and other comprehensive, Vietnam, India and other neighboring countries to reflect the cost advantage, part of the garment orders began to shift around the emerging area of textile industry. Data show that labor cost in Bangladesh is 0.22 U.S. dollars / hour, Cambodia is 0.33 U.S. dollars / hour, Vietnam is 0.38 U.S. dollars / hour, India is 0.51 U.S. dollars / hour, while China is 1.08 U.S. dollars / hour, China's textile and garment enterprises, the labor cost advantage decreased, some neighboring countries in Europe and America began to shift orders.
4 is heating up protectionist sentiment in the international market. China's textile and apparel products are of international trade protectionism has been the object of attack, in the current economic situation deteriorating in many countries to protect domestic industries by restricting imports of trade protectionism exacerbated. Such as the February stimulus package the U.S. government to buy U.S. goods in terms of some of the procurement of uniforms for the U.S. products must be 100% [7], this year, China's textile exports to the U.S. Despite the expiration of termination of quota restrictions, but in March the total U.S. textile organization will call on the Government to take measures to monitor the situation of textile imports from China. In addition, trade protectionism has also spread to more developing countries, recently, Argentina, Turkey, and Indonesia have announced restrictions on textile and apparel importation.
concern is that people in foreign countries reduced the spending power consumption in low-end structure to tilt and sharp fall in commodity prices in international circumstances, the price of garment exports rising trend emerged contrarian. The first 4 months of this year, Shanghai Customs District garment export prices rose 8.8%, which exports 10 products export prices showed a rising trend. This not only with the current international prices of consumer goods to deviate from, not in line with China's textile recent findings Chamber of Commerce. According to research data, as European and American businessmen to further lower prices, this year from January to February, the price of general business orders fell more than 20% [8]. China since last August 6 consecutive increases export tax rebate rate of some products, thrust is to enhance corporate profits, so that it can be at a higher price advantage in international competition. However, the high tax rates also led some unscrupulous companies are trying to cheat in various ways increased the risk of the export tax rebate. The State Administration of Taxation had issued a circular calling for investigation of high tax rates also have high CPU utilization report illegal export prices, tax fraud crimes.
the textile apparel industry in order to ensure healthy and stable development, proposal: Yi Shi leading textile and apparel through Keji and brand Chuang Xin Qi Ye, enhance core competitiveness of products; second is to encourage powerful enterprises 海外 plant, the effective use of local 土地 and jobs cost advantages; 3 is to strengthen the regulation of prices of textile and apparel exports, increasing export tax rebate fraud acts of state against efforts to ensure the implementation of macro-control policy effects.
