On July 29, the Industry Department of Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission held a symposium on the chemical fiber industry in Zhejiang Province. The meeting was chaired by Yu Xiaoyan, Director of the Industrial Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, and included 11 companies from the province including Tongkun, Hengyi, Xinfengming, Rongsheng, Tiansheng, Quandi, Guxiandao, Hailide, Yufu, Huafeng, and Huading. Representatives from key chemical fiber enterprises and the Zhejiang Textile Industry Association attended the meeting and made exchange speeches, reporting on production and operation conditions and major difficulties in the first half of the year, analyzing the market situation in the second half of the year, and putting forward policy demands and suggestions.
It is reported that this chemical fiber industry symposium was held in accordance with the National Development and Reform Commission’s work arrangements on establishing an industrial observation of the light textile industry in our province to efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and manufacturing enterprise production, and strengthen industrial economic operation monitoring Analysis, ensuring the stability of industrial production order, helping enterprises solve difficult problems in production and operation, and promoting steady growth of the industrial economy. This symposium was only more than a month away from the symposium also focused on chemical fiber held by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology on June 8. The recent development of the chemical fiber industry has received such attention from the provincial economic authorities. Businesses are encouraged.
The textile industry is a traditional advantageous industry in our province. It is also an iconic industrial chain and a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster that our province has strived to build. It has formed an industrial chain consisting of chemical fibers, textile printing and dyeing, clothing and home textiles and other end products, as well as special textile equipment. Complete textile industry chain. The modern textile industry in our province is huge and ranks first in the country. The total industrial output value and operating income are also showing a rapid development trend. Both will exceed one trillion yuan in 2021. Among them, the textile and clothing export volume has ranked first in the country for many years. , driving the rapid growth of gross industrial production.
Data show that chemical fiber accounts for about 85% of my country’s total textile fiber processing, and my country’s chemical fiber output accounts for more than 70% of the world’s. Conventional fibers maintain the leading international level, and some high-performance fibers have reached the international advanced level. The industrial chain and supply chain are secure. The sustainability, stability and competitiveness are increasing day by day, providing a solid guarantee for the construction of a strong textile country. Zhejiang Chemical Fiber accounts for nearly half of China’s chemical fiber output. It is the largest province in the country’s chemical fiber industry and the world’s largest chemical fiber production base. In 2021, the total industrial output value of the province’s chemical fiber industry above designated size is 316 billion yuan, and the chemical fiber output is 32.1 million tons, accounting for 49.2% of the country’s total chemical fiber output and more than 30% of the world. The output ranks first in the country, and a number of companies with advanced technology and equipment have emerged in the country. A leading chemical fiber company with great influence abroad.
On April 21, 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on the High-Quality Development of the Chemical Fiber Industry” (also issued the “Guiding Opinions on the High-Quality Development of the Industrial Textiles Industry” 》), in the textile industry chain, only two industries, chemical fiber and industrial use, have jointly issued “high-quality development guidance” by the two ministries and commissions. This shows the importance of the chemical fiber industry in the entire industry chain and industrial manufacturing. .
Representatives at the meeting believed that compared with the situation at the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, this year’s situation presents the characteristics of multiple difficulties. In the first half of 2022, the textile and apparel industry will be in a situation of high costs, declining supply, and sluggish demand; the operating rate has dropped , the economic benefits have shrunk, the production and operation of enterprises have been greatly affected, and the entire industry has experienced a phenomenon of “slow peak seasons and even weaker off-seasons”.
In the second half of the year, the impact of rising costs on the chemical fiber-textile industry chain will weaken. It is expected that with the arrival of the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” peak season for textile and apparel consumption, the demand side will strengthen its support for the market. Under the influence of residents’ consumption tendencies , it is difficult for the textile and apparel industry to regain high growth in the second half of the year, but with the arrival of the peak consumption season, industry demand will be restored to a certain extent.
Yu Xiaoyan, Director of the Industry Department, emphasized in his concluding speech that the National Development and Reform Commission included our province’s chemical fiber into key industries for observation and became an industry model. This was determined by the special status of Zhejiang’s chemical fiber industry. It will definitely have a positive impact on our province’s chemical fiber industry. have a positive impact on the industry. It is hoped that enterprises will provide production and operation status and forecast data for next month in a timely manner every month, and provide feedback on problems and needs; the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will report to the National Development and Reform Commission as soon as possible to strive for policy support, and will strive to build a good communication platform, provide precise services, and jointly promote chemical fiber Maintain industry stability, improve quality and efficiency, and develop with high quality.
