The “Economic Operation Briefing of China’s Garment Industry from January to December 2022” released by the China Garment Association predicts that in 2023, my country’s garment industry will enter a restorative and normalized development cycle after experiencing a phased decline. Based on the industry operation in 2022 With the strong support of the low base effect and the domestic general cycle, it is expected that the overall economic performance of the industry will improve in 2023, and the development trend of “resilient growth and steady recovery” will be obvious.
From the perspective of the international market, under the influence of insufficient international market demand, transfer of overseas orders, Sino-US trade friction, RMB appreciation and other factors, my country’s clothing exports will face greater downward pressure in 2023, and the overall growth rate will decline first and then level off. , there is a clear trend of shrinking in scale. However, it should also be noted that as the destocking of overseas retailers and brand groups ends and global inflation is contained, market consumer demand and replenishment demand gradually recover, overseas orders may pick up in the second half of the year, and the apparel export situation will follow. improving. At the same time, trade cooperation agreements such as the “One Belt and One Road” and RCEP continue to advance, and the new marketing method of “platform traffic + content cultivation + live streaming” promotes the accelerated development of cross-border e-commerce, which will further promote the high-quality development of apparel foreign trade exports.
Under the general trend of global industrial transformation, my country’s textile and apparel industry is still struggling and still has confidence in the future.

The market situation will be significantly different in 2023
As March approaches, under the traditional “Gold, Three, Silver and Four” expectations of the textile market, coupled with the strengthening of expectations for a recovery in consumption, what will be the trend of the textile market in the first quarter and the whole year this year? “Compared with 2022, the market situation in 2023 will be significantly different.” Pang Chunyan, chief analyst of SDIC Essence Futures Chemicals, said, “On the one hand, energy prices fell back after rising in 2022, and are currently mainly stable, which has a negative impact on the industry. On the other hand, it means that costs have stabilized. On the other hand, everyone’s life will gradually become normal this year. The increase in employment will provide a strong guarantee for residents’ expenditure, and the increase in travel will also bring consumption growth in the clothing market. At the same time, real estate and home textiles Consumption in the market is also expected to improve.”
Economic growth forecast for 2023
Among the “troika”, Zhu Haibin, chief economist of JPMorgan Chase China, predicts that consumption will jump from 1 percentage point to 4.1 percentage points last year, investment will rise from 1.5 percentage points to 2 percentage points, and imports and exports will increase from 1.5 percentage points to 2 percentage points. constitute a drag, from 0.5 percentage points to -0.5 percentage points, that is, the current account surplus will drop to about 180 billion US dollars compared with about 400 billion US dollars last year. The full-year GDP growth rate is expected to be 5.6%.
From this point of view, the frequently mentioned concept of “consumption carries the banner” is indeed tenable, but Zhu Haibin believes that the possibility of “excess savings triggering retaliatory consumption” is not high.
Zhu Haibin said that although the discussion on whether to continue to issue consumer vouchers or cash after the epidemic this year has heated up, the actual possibility is unlikely because China has always tended to start from the production side, such as stimulating infrastructure, in order to drive employment and consumption.
