The textile machinery market will show polarization in 2013

Since 2012, affected by the global textile industry's operating situation, almost all orders for textile machinery enterprises in China have declined and profits have declined. Market sales have fallen into the lowest level in recent years. How long will this situation continue? Will there be any changes next year? How do companies plan for future production? Over 100 textile machinery owners took these questions to participate in the 2013 annual conference held in Changle, Fujian on December 13-14. National textile machinery industry production management seminar.

In the first three quarters of this year, the main business income of the textile machinery industry was 80.664 billion yuan, an increase of 6.33% year-on-year; the sales value of sales was 79.299 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.73%; the total profit was 4.623 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1%; the loss of loss-making enterprises It was 331 million yuan, an increase of 175 million yuan; the loss was 15.83%, an increase of 6 percentage points over the same period of last year. In the first three quarters, the total value of textile machinery imports and exports was 4.816 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 16.49%. Among them, exports of 1.679 billion US dollars, an increase of 1.62%; imports of 3.138 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 23.76%.

Gao Yong, vice president and secretary-general of China Textile Industry Federation and honorary chairman of China Textile Machinery & Accessories Industry Association, gave a comprehensive analysis of the overall development trend of the textile industry this year and its influencing factors, and made suggestions for the development of the company in 2013. .

Gao Yong said that since the beginning of this year, due to the lack of external demand and the adjustment of the domestic investment structure, China’s economic growth has experienced a more pronounced decline. For the textile industry, in addition to being affected by the global economic downturn, huge domestic and foreign cotton price spreads have brought significant pressure on textile companies, and this has led to a general decline in the efficiency of textile companies this year. The downturn in the cotton and chemical fiber industries has directly affected the market sales of the textile machinery industry this year. Gao Yong said that there is currently no effective solution to the cotton price difference, and it is expected that the cotton price gap will continue to affect the operation of the textile industry. Therefore, he reminded the textile machinery enterprises to speed up the adjustment of the product structure and quickly change the status quo of China's textile machinery industry relying too much on cotton spinning and chemical fiber equipment.

Gao Yong said that the situation in the textile machinery industry is inseparable from the macroeconomic situation. Textile machinery enterprises should jump out of the textile machinery to see the textile machinery. We must pay close attention to the adjustment of the textile industry, products, and regions, and closely follow the adjustment direction of the textile industry to adjust the product structure of the textile machinery.

Wang Shutian, chairman of the China Textile Machinery and Equipment Industry Association, summarized the development of the textile machinery industry in this year as two features. First, the product sales structure has undergone great changes. For example, more than 8,800 cotton spinning machines were sold, a year-on-year decrease of 35.57%, including more than 2,800 long-haul vehicles, an increase of 18.88% year-on-year. This one-litre drop is a symbolic change and is a concentrated expression of technological progress in the industry over the years. Secondly, Jiangsu Jinsheng Industry Co., Ltd. purchased the Oerlikon Natural Fibers and Textile Machinery Components Business Unit as its representative enterprise merger and acquisition, and Changzhou Tonghe Textile Machinery Company joined the cotton spinning machine manufacturing industry as the enterprise transformation represented by the textile machinery manufacturing enterprises. The pattern has undergone some changes. This means that the textile machinery industry will likely have a new pattern next year.

Turning to the development of the textile machinery industry next year, Wang Shutian said that regardless of whether the textile industry will develop in the country or transfer to other countries in Southeast Asia, the sales of textile machinery can be followed. However, at present, the global warfighting capacity of China's textile machinery companies is relatively weak, and the international level of the industry is relatively lacking. For the textile machinery industry, there are two major challenges that must be overcome: First, there is a need to improve the company's core innovation capabilities, and second, there is a need to increase the degree of industry concentration and avoid excessive competition. Wang Shutian said that at present, the textile machinery market is in a cold winter. I hope that companies can use this opportunity to conduct an effective self-adjustment.

Participating companies generally believe that the market situation in the next year will show polarization. Some equipment may be in great demand, and sales of some equipment may be even worse than this year. Manufacturers of cotton spinning, chemical fiber and other equipment believe that if we cannot change the status quo of the huge gap between cotton prices at home and abroad, the situation of textile machinery next year will be even more severe. Looms, especially air-jet looms, have received a lot of orders this year and believe that the market will be better next year than this year. The reason is that user companies have to choose equipment with high degree of automation and high efficiency. Some people think that regardless of the situation in the textile market, the demand for investment and technological transformation in the textile industry exists. Most of the textile industries this year are mostly affected by SMEs. Some large enterprises with strong competitiveness continue to grow. Technological transformation is also progressing in an orderly manner. The Fujian region is particularly prominent. In 2012, Changle Textile Industry invested 4.3 billion yuan in technical reforms. According to the introduction of the local textile bureau, at present, there are 30 warp knitting and weaving articles for Changle Textile under construction. There are 27 cotton spinning products and 7 chemical fiber products. The input of next year will be further increased. These items all require strong equipment support.

At the symposium, enterprises such as Fujian Xinang Textile Machinery Company, Pacific Electromechanical (Group) Company, Oerlikon Textile Group, Jingwei Textile Machinery Company, Chongqing Golden Cat Textile Equipment Company and other companies exchanged their respective product development and production conditions, and they were shared with them. In this year's unfavorable economic situation of the industry, how to obtain maximum benefits through cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
