2012 in April 6th China Cotton Trade Fair On this occasion, Zhu Beina, President of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, summarized and reviewed the current cotton textile situation, and analyzed and prospected the industry situation in 2012.

Zhu said that in 2012, yarn production capacity remained stable and output increased slightly (Statistics Bureau data showed that the yarn production was 28 million 940 thousand tons, while the China Cotton Textile Industry Association survey yarn production was 20 million 500 thousand tons). At the same time, the import and export volume of cotton textiles slowed down, the import and export volume of cotton yarn and cotton fabrics increased year by year, and the import demand of cotton yarn increased. Due to the low demand in the international market, domestic high priced cotton has weakened the export advantage of cotton gauze, and enterprises prefer to import international gauze. The import quantity of cotton gauze has increased and exports have declined in 1-2 months.

according to China Cotton Textile Industry Association Tracking survey shows that in 2011, the monthly cumulative raw material inventories of enterprises decreased year by year. Compared with the same period, the yarn and cloth finished products inventory increased, the yarn output decreased overall, and the main economic indicators such as enterprise profits and export delivery value were significantly lower.

At present, the main characteristics of production and marketing are as follows: enterprises purchase cotton carefully and seldom store cotton; under the influence of downstream demand, products are not sold well, inventory is the key point; enterprises reduce the proportion of raw materials and cotton; the use and demand of imported cotton increase; the proportion of non cotton fibers such as chemical fiber increases.

President Zhu said that at present Cotton textile industry Indeed, it is in a difficult position. The price difference between domestic and foreign cotton is too large, and the production of enterprises is not competitive. The cost of cotton spinning enterprises has increased sharply and the sales profits of enterprises have declined. At the same time, the financing of enterprises is difficult and the operation is very difficult. The market demand is still weak and the market sales are not smooth.

But Zhu is hopeful about the future of cotton textile situation. She encourages everyone to have confidence. First of all, the growth of chemical fiber is an inevitable trend, which can reduce the risks brought by cotton. Secondly, adjusting the product structure can improve the quality and efficiency of enterprises; the import dependence of the third and medium end textiles increases, and the market demand is still great; fourth, improving product quality and added value, speeding up brand building; besides, China's large population and sustained growth in demand, domestic demand should maintain growth should be a trend.
