Emerging industries get married, textiles and garments boost industry transformation and upgrading

I recall that Xu Kunyuan, vice president of the China National Textile and Apparel Industry Association, once stated that in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the textile industry will focus on scientific and technological research and industrialization of achievements. He pointed out that in high-performance, functional, differentiated material technologies, new types of spinning, weaving and Non-woven technology, high-tech dyeing and finishing technology, industrial textile processing technology, energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, new textile machinery and information technology have made major progress in key technology research and industrialization. A large number of independent research and development of scientific and technological achievements and advanced equipment Widely used. Today, looking back, many key technologies and key equipment for the textile industry's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period are involved in emerging industries, adding an infinite brilliance to the traditional textile industry.

Although the inevitable textile and garment industry, which is a marriage of emerging industries and textiles and clothing, is a traditional pillar industry, it has no distance from emerging industries. After several decades of development, the field of application of textiles has gradually changed and merged and extended with related disciplines. In particular, the industrial textile industry called technical textiles has emerged in high-tech and high-tech fields and has shown tremendous development. potential.

Aerospace and textiles, one in the sky and one on the ground, were two industries that did not cross the border. However, they met in the development process of the Shenzhou Spaceship and Chang'e II. The three-dimensional weaving technology and three-dimensional textile composite material curing technology and equipment developed by the Institute of Composite Materials, Tianjin Polytechnic University contribute to the application of the engine carrier and hatch cover for China's Shenzhou VII spacecraft and key components of the Chang'e-2 satellite. Cheng Bowen, director of the Science and Technology Department of the school, told the reporter that during the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, the school has carried out a large amount of scientific research work around the application fields of high-performance, functional, differentiated materials, and industrial textiles. For example, in the field of aerospace, there is the development of three-dimensional braided composite material integral connectors for satellite space truss structures; in the new energy and new materials, there are new functions for the preparation of hollow fiber membranes and their industrial applications, and nickel-hydrogen batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Diaphragm development, etc.; in the field of industrial textiles automotive interior and electrical enclosures with plant fiber reinforced degradable composite materials. "A large number of research results on new textile materials have been industrialized and applied," Cheng said.

According to statistics, during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the contribution rate of textile technology reached 52.13%, and investment projects involving emerging industries increased by 20% year-on-year. These figures reflected that the traditional textile industry is increasingly pursuing closer links with emerging industries. In the future, this change will become more prominent. The reporter learned from relevant departments that the "Strategic Development Outline for Strong Countries in the Textile Industry" will be available shortly. It will spur the clarion call of the textile industry to the emerging industries. Once the textile industry enters the fast lane of emerging industries, its production methods and profit models will undergo a revolutionary transformation, and a large-scale industrial transformation and upgrading will follow.

Emerging industries boost textile transformation and upgrading Shandong Dezhou Zhongyuan Group Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in high-grade yarn processing and currently has a scale of 100,000 spindles. Liu Zhitao, general manager of the company, inherited his father’s business. When he took over the traditional textile enterprise, he had the idea to extend to the new field of nonwovens. This idea has become more and more intense recently. The reason that drove him to break through traditional industries was the increase in the cost of textile raw materials and labor, the narrowing of corporate profits and the increased risk. At the same time, he also learned that high-performance fibers, such as microfiber non-woven fabrics and lithium-ion battery polyester nonwoven separator materials used in new energy vehicles, have been increasingly used due to low labor and high technical content. The attention paid by some textile companies is good. Liu Zhitao conducted market inspections in the second half of this year. He believes that the investment returns for new industry projects promoted by the country must not be wrong.

Today, many textile entrepreneurs are no longer satisfied with the game in the meager profits of traditional industries. They are even more inclined to rejuvenate the huge development space of the industry. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the textile industry achieved important results in the transformation, and a group of projects with independent intellectual property rights were gradually put into production to bring benefits. According to a statistics from the China Industrial Textiles Association, production of industrial textiles in China has completed the target of 6 million tons in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” two years ahead of schedule. Last year, the output reached 7.232 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 19.2%. Emerging industries Medical bio-textiles, with output of 300,000 tons in 2009, maintaining an annual growth rate of more than 10%. Although biomedical textile materials have not reached the industrialization level, they have developed rapidly. For example, the investment scale and production volume of SMS nonwovens have been explosively increasing. At the same time, the industrial upgrading and technological advancement of the textile industry are increasing rapidly for high-end equipment. According to a statistic, China’s textile machinery market maintained an annual market scale of 8 billion U.S. dollars in the three years before 2006, and exceeded 9 billion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2006. This growth of 1 billion U.S. dollars mainly comes from the structure of China's textile industry. Adjustments to the purchase of high-end equipment have greatly increased. "Eleventh Five-Year" textile industry is actively and orderly to achieve the goal of industrial restructuring. Moreover, the pace of future transformation will be further accelerated.

The road map for emerging industries is clear and clear. In the “12th Five-Year Plan” Outline of Technology Progress of the Textile Industry recently released, the textile industry will tackle 50 key technologies and promote 110 advanced technologies during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, including Basic research, high-tech industrialization of fiber materials, new spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing high-tech, high-performance industrial textile processing technology, energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, modern garment manufacturing technology, new textile machinery, textile information technology and textile standard research, etc. . From 28 key technologies in the “11th Five-Year Plan” to 50 key technologies in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, not only the increase in quantity, but also indicates that textiles are more closely linked with emerging industries. The application and industrialization of these key technologies and science and technology projects will become the driving force for the transformation of China's textile giant into a textile power.

We have reason to believe that the textile industry will continue to play an important role in expanding employment, increasing farmers' income, accumulating funds, exporting foreign exchange, prospering markets, raising the level of urbanization, stimulating related industries and promoting regional economic development. Emerging industries will show greater vitality along with the adjustment and development of the textile industry.
