China is the largest textile industry in the world and the country with the most complete industrial chain and the most complete categories. Chinese textiles include yarn fabrics, garments, etc. As early as 2015, China's fiber processing volume reached 53 million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the world's share.
China is the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles and apparel. China's textile industry was once the world's No. 1 for a decade ahead. China's garment exports are the first in the world. The competitiveness of the textile and garment industry, divided into textile and garment manufacturing, is the most competitive industry in China, both in terms of international market share, trade competitiveness index, realistic comparative advantage index in the world is the strongest, that’s why there are many fabric inspection machine manufacturers and fabric roll wrapping machine manufacturers in China.
In 2020, China's textile industry accounted for more than 50% of the world's total fiber processing, exports accounted for 1/3 of the world, always the country's largest foreign trade surplus industry, domestic per capita fiber consumption has reached the level of the world's medium developed countries.
The fabric manufactures are not focus on fabric inspection machine price, machine quality is more important for them. China's textile industry, which was once mistaken as a "sunset industry", is now the largest among its global counterparts, with not only the largest scale, but also the most comprehensive industrial categories, the most complete industrial chain system, and the forefront of industrial technology in the world, especially the national brand is widely recognized by both domestic and international markets. In China is included in the world's manufacturing industry first array of five industries (textiles, home appliances, building materials, iron and steel, high-speed rail) the textile industry ranked first.
China's textile and garment industry ranks second in the world in terms of product market share, which almost a decade ago was six times that of Italy, seven times that of Germany and 12 times that of the United States.
China's trade competitiveness index used to stay above 0.6 for a long time, while the trade competitiveness index of the garment industry was at a level close to 1 for a long time. The indicative comparative advantage index is generally above 2.5, and reaching 2.5 or more indicates that the industry is extremely competitive internationally.
The productivity of China's textile and garment industry was once nine times that of Italy and 14 times that of the United States, which undoubtedly means that this industry has strong international competitiveness.
Especially in the third decade of reform and opening up, China's production of chemical fiber, yarn, cloth, tweed, silk fabrics and garments all ranked first in the world. In addition, according to the relevant statistics of the United States, Europe and Japan, in 2020, China's share in the total imports of textiles and clothing of the United States, the European Union and Japan was 33%, 43.9% and 58.6%, respectively. Among them, China's mask products occupy an absolute advantage, accounting for 83%, 91.3% and 89.9% of the imports of masks in the United States, the EU and Japan, respectively.
China has a wide variety of fabrics, a wide layout, the country formed a lot of textile industry heavy town as follows: 1) knitting: weft knitting category, in Suzhou Zhangjiagang, Changshu. Shaoxing Keqiao. Changle, Fujian. Foshan, Guangdong. Warp knitting, in the area of Haining. 2) Woven chemical fiber: Wujiang Shengze, Shaoxing Keqiao; 3) Woven cotton: Shandong, Hebei, Changzhou. 4) Home textile: Nantong area.
It is worth mentioning that Suzhou Shengze, Jiangsu, is the largest cloth market in the country, fabric (chemical fiber and interwoven category) production base, the world's first silk index is published here. Shengze fabric production capacity is the first in the country. Seventy-five percent of China's production capacity is concentrated in the five coastal provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong.
China remains the world leader in chemical fiber filaments. The world's total fiber production is about 90 million tons. 70% of the 90 million tons of fiber production is chemical fiber, about 65 million tons, of which chemical fiber filament is about 40 million tons. It can be seen that chemical fibers are dominated by filaments. The vast majority of the world's more than 40 million tons of chemical fiber filaments produced in China.
