China's textile industry's "China's intellectual creation"

Introduction: At the award ceremony for the innovative figures of the 2015 Chinese textile industry and the “Twelfth Five-Year” innovation figures held recently, industry experts, entrepreneurs, and others began to discuss how the textile industry will transform and innovate.

The Chinese textile industry, which was once synonymous with processing, is embarking on the road to “intelligence in China”, driven by technological innovation. The "Textile Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)" issued recently expressly states that technological innovation is still the main line for future industry development. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the amount of invention patents granted by the textile industry will increase by an average of 15% per year.

Did you know that in addition to cooking food, shrimps and crabs can be dressed in clothes. The purified chitosan bio-fibers obtained from the shell waste of marine shrimps and crabs as raw materials are not only natural antibacterial, anti-mold odor, moisture fast drying, but also green production. The new fabric technology makes clothes more comfortable and beautiful, and intelligent textile machinery equipment improves production efficiency... Looking around, new technologies are reshaping the textile industry, bringing changes to traditional production methods and lifestyles.

Whether textile and apparel products can develop new markets and play a vital role as the fiber of the upstream raw materials. Hu Guangming, chairman of Huaxing Textile, said that it took 10 years to spray the first thread and make it into a product. Not only has it broken through a series of core technologies, but it has also taken the lead in globalizing industrialization. In the future, the new fiber will be applied to more fields to create a health industry chain covering apparel home textiles, protective filter media, and medical dressings.

If the innovation of raw materials opens up a "new window" for industrial development, innovation in the manufacturing sector will increase production efficiency and reduce the pressure on enterprises.

In the current weak global growth of the textile industry, Jiangsu Jinlun Clothing Co., Ltd. has carried out technical innovations on the textile machinery coverings, not only increasing the production of spinning products by about 30%, but also bringing about considerable profits for the company. Jin Chunhui, Chairman of Golden Wheel Cloth, said that last year it achieved sales revenue of 475 million yuan and its global market share increased to over 25%.

According to data from the China Textile Industry Federation, scientific and technological progress has led to an increase in labor productivity of the industry by about 60% compared with the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period.

In addition, the application of information technology in the textile industry also promotes the transformation of the production model towards flexibility, intelligence, and refinement, and usher in new opportunities.
