The data highlights a notable growth trajectory in China's textile machinery sector from 2015 to 2019. Import figures for water jet looms surged from 1,025 units to 3,222 units, exhibiting a robust compound annual growth rate of 33.15%. Air jet looms experienced a steady rise from 4,305 units to 6,446 units, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.62%. However, high-speed rapier looms faced a decline, dropping from 2,561 units to 1,703 units at a compound annual growth rate of -9.70%. Despite progress, the weaving machinery industry in China is notably deficient in air jet looms and water jet looms, relying heavily on imports.

In terms of exports, China primarily exports rapier looms, amounting to 14,500 units in 2019. Nevertheless, there has been a shift in the composition of total weaving machinery exports. The proportion of rapier looms decreased from 64% to 50% from 2015 to 2019, while the share of water jet and air jet looms increased steadily.
