The 7th Executive Council Meeting of the China Textile Machinery Association was recently held in Shanghai, drawing nearly 100 delegates. The event provided a platform for participants to exchange insights on the textile machinery market and engage in deep discussions on key topics such as smart manufacturing development and industrial transfer under the "Belt and Road" initiative.
As the market continues to recover, it's crucial for industry players to remain vigilant about market fluctuations. Since 2017, the textile machinery sector has maintained steady operations. From January to August, large-scale textile machinery enterprises generated a main business income of 83.521 billion yuan, reflecting a 12.46% year-on-year increase. Profit reached 5.915 billion yuan, up by 21.91% compared to the same period last year. Total import and export volume for textile machinery reached $4.4 billion, showing an 18.52% annual growth.
Gao Yong, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China Textile Industry Federation, provided a brief analysis of the industry’s performance this year. He emphasized that textile machinery companies must stay alert to market changes, especially regarding potential sharp increases in raw material prices. He noted that while the textile industry has entered a new era, the stage of rapid expansion has passed. Although main business income is growing, fiber processing volume remains relatively stable. Continuous upgrades in production equipment, improved efficiency, and concentration of production capacity among leading firms are clear trends. Gao urged manufacturers to prepare for these shifts and integrate smart manufacturing into their strategies.
Regarding the "Belt and Road" industrial transfer, Gao suggested that textile machinery companies should collaborate to establish comprehensive after-sales service platforms, helping to boost exports. Wang Shutian, President of the China Textile Machinery Industry Association, raised several critical questions about the industry's future, including the sources of its growth, confidence, and achievements. He also highlighted the need to address over-competition and explore opportunities for cooperation.
Gu Ping, Vice President of the China Textile Machinery Association, shared detailed data on the performance of various sectors in 2017. High-end spinning machinery demand continued to rise, with notable increases in sales of card machines, drawframes, and rotor spinning machines. In weaving machinery, high-speed rapier, water-jet, and air-jet looms saw significant growth. Knitting machinery, particularly flat knitting machines, performed strongly in domestic markets, while circular weft machines had mixed results.
Printing, dyeing, and finishing machinery sales generally improved, with low-bath ratio dyeing equipment and digital printing machines in high demand. Chemical fiber machinery experienced increased orders, mainly driven by new production capacity. Non-woven fabric machinery remained strong, with high-speed production lines becoming popular, and spunlaced nonwoven fabrics facing supply shortages.
In terms of innovation, textile machinery companies have accelerated technological progress. Several projects under the "13th Five-Year Plan" have made significant progress, with some achieving international standards. Awards were given to innovative technologies, including digital winding systems and wear-resistant coating technologies.
Gao Yong stressed the importance of smart manufacturing, noting that while the industry has started early, many areas still need improvement. He called for better product development, data management, and automation. Wang Shutian emphasized the need to consider cost-effectiveness and leverage big data for better user insights. Zhu Xianmin discussed government initiatives on smart manufacturing, highlighting the role of data analysis, decision-making, and AI-driven self-learning capabilities.
As the industry moves forward, textile machinery companies must not only sell products but also provide added value through services and adapt to the evolving landscape of smart manufacturing.
