Textile And Garment Industry: The Era Of Systematic Compound Competition

On the 29 day of last month, on the fifth member congress of the China Apparel Association and the national garment industry working conference, the China Apparel Association released the "2006 - 2007 China garment industry development report", revealing the latest trend of the current garment industry development.

According to the analysis, from the basic operation of the national garment industry, the garment industry in 2007 has shown a trend of integration, adjustment and upgrading, and entered a more complex business competition pattern. The industrial development exists and pushes on a more systematic and more complex platform.

　　2007年至2008年，宏观经济和市场新环境对服装业的影响有三点：一是服装原辅料成本、劳动力成本、制造成本乃至运输成本等服装产销中几乎每个环节的成本上涨，已给行业发展带来明显的影响，而同时服装产品的价格上升空间不大；二是有关汇率变动，对服装业出口贸易和OEM业务带来更加长期的压力，且国内对出口贸易的倚重和扶持力度进一步弱化，某些地区已出现服装国际贸易和OEM的清淡甚至萧条征兆；三是用工管理进一步规范化后，企业社会化成本和社会责任体系成本加大，给服装企业在人员、制度、法规等管理方面增加了前所未有的压力，一定程度上使得企业在产业拓展和生产经营方面形成力量消耗，尤其是尚未完全摆脱粗放型和经营单一型的中小服装企业，短期内的发展生机和竞争力将受到削弱。

In view of the current situation and future tasks of China's clothing industry, authoritative analysts pointed out that industrial associations are an important component of industrial productivity and production mode to adapt to the development of economic globalization. During the 30 years of reform and opening up, China has become Fei Daguo, a big producer and a big exporter of textiles and clothing.

In view of the situation faced by the garment industry, Jiang Hengjie, executive vice president of the China Apparel Association, believes that China's garment industry is becoming more mature. The international competitiveness begins from the labor cost advantage to the high level of product development and innovation advantages, product quality innovation advantages, brand innovation advantages and cultural innovation advantages, and the industry image is reshaped, and the international competitiveness is facing upgrading.
