Recently, the construction of a number of new fabric projects across the country is accelerating. Especially in the vast central and western regions, with the continuous improvement of infrastructure and the accelerated gathering of various factor resources such as talents, the pace of textile project construction is also accelerating.
2,500 looms, 1 million tons of polyester,
Several textile and chemical fiber giants invest in Xinjiang
Recently, the project construction site of Xinjiang Kuntai Textile Printing and Dyeing Technology Co., Ltd. located in Alar Economic and Technological Development Zone is in full swing, and the installation of the steel beam frame structure of the factory building is coming to an end. The project plans to invest 1.3 billion yuan to build 2,500 looms, textile production lines and other related supporting facilities. After the project is put into operation, the annual output value is expected to be 1 billion yuan, creating employment for 1,200 people.
In another corner of Alar Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinjiang Yuxin Textile New Materials Co., Ltd.’s comprehensive project integrating polyester, chemical fiber, weaving, printing and dyeing is also under intensive construction. The total investment of the project is 11 billion yuan, and the construction of projects with an annual output of 1 million tons of polyester fiber, weaving, printing and dyeing, and supporting cogeneration will further open up the “last mile” from petrochemical industry to textile and clothing processing.
Since this year, after years of development in Alar City, No. 1 Division, industrial chains such as spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing have begun to take shape. Currently, there are 16 textile and garment enterprises above designated size such as Alar Tongkun Textile, Xinjiang Dongcai Weaving and Home Textile. home, the effect of industrial agglomeration is prominent. 3 textile enterprises have been established, 5 are under construction, and 5 are planned to be established; the textile production capacity reaches 135,000 tons, accounting for 51% of Xinjiang’s total textile production capacity. After the project is fully put into operation, it is expected to have an annual output value of 12 billion yuan and provide 8,000 jobs.
Anhui, Jiangxi, and Guizhou have recently put into production intensive textile and chemical fiber projects
On May 18, a signing ceremony for a 100 million yuan project was held in Gaoshi Town, Anqing City, Anhui Province. The comprehensive textile industry project with a total investment of 518 million yuan attracted much attention. The project belongs to the spinning and weaving industry chain. After the project is completed, it will have 15 spinning production lines and 20 chemical fiber production lines. It is expected to have an annual output value of 1 billion yuan and realize tax payment of about 20 million yuan. The graphene composite fiber and graphene interwoven fabric projects invested by Jiangxi Shenghong Technology Co., Ltd. in Wuning County Industrial Park have also started construction recently. The total investment of the project is 2 billion yuan. The project will be implemented in two phases. The first phase will provide about 100 acres of land, and the second phase will provide about 103 acres of land. It will produce and operate graphene composite fiber and graphene interwoven fabric projects. Zheng Chengbiao, vice president of the company, said that the first phase of the project is expected to be fully completed and put into operation before the end of November, and the second phase will be fully put into operation before the end of December 2024. After the project reaches full production capacity and meets the standards, it will produce 120,000 tons of low-elastic yarn and 20,000 tons of graphene fabrics annually, with an annual output value of more than 1.5 billion yuan and profits and taxes of more than 200 million yuan.
On May 26, the groundbreaking ceremony for Guiyang Green Ecological Printing and Dyeing Circular Economy Industrial Park and cogeneration and other supporting projects was held in Xifeng County, Guiyang City. The first phase of the industrial park has a planned land area of about 468 acres, with a total investment of 1.76 billion yuan. After completion, it will have an annual production capacity of 540 million meters of woven chemical fiber printing and dyeing fabrics and 15,000 tons of knitted blended dyeing and finishing fabrics. The annual operating income is expected to reach 3.006 billion yuan. The combined heat and power project that is supporting and constructed simultaneously with the industrial park plans to invest approximately 1.84 billion yuan. The overall planning and design is to produce 7.5 million tons of steam and generate 1.17 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
Intensive expansion of production capacity in the central and western regions:
The ‘Sword of Damocles’ hanging over enterprises
Facing the new pattern of industry development, the reporter noticed that the recent new fabric projects in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Guiyang do not focus on the fabric products themselves, but pay more attention to the overall layout of the industrial chain. Fabric companies are accelerating adjustments around high-end functional fabric projects or industrial chain projects, and the trend of survival of the fittest in the market is becoming increasingly obvious. Amid the roar of project construction, some people in the industry have expressed concerns about the intensive expansion of production by fabric companies. Since the beginning of this year, the development environment of my country’s textile industry has become more complex and severe, and the difficulties and challenges in maintaining smooth operation have increased significantly. Against the background of the slow recovery of terminal consumption, once the epidemic recurs, the operations of textile companies may face greater pressure.
“Weak consumer demand, coupled with the decline in capacity utilization, the current textile industry is facing ‘difficulties’ and ‘worries’, and the profits of many textile companies have significantly shrunk. Choosing to expand production capacity at this time may be a good time to ‘buy the dip’, but Potential oversupply may also be the ‘Sword of Damocles’ hanging over enterprises,” said Qi Jinyue, an analyst at Longzhong Consulting.
Opportunities are hidden in crises, and opportunities also lie in challenges. Qi Jinyue added: “Currently, the competition in the textile market is fierce, which requires high cost and efficiency requirements for enterprises. Production capacities with weak scale, backward technology, and high operating costs are facing elimination. New production capacity will rely on their advantages in technology, efficiency and cost. Advantages, replacing old production capacity, survival of the fittest will continue to be staged in the fabric industry, and the industry may undergo further differentiation, forming a situation where the strong will always be strong.”
