Two, operation characteristics of the industry

1, the application field of knitting products is expanding, and the product differentiation is developing in depth.

Knitted products cover all aspects of clothing, household and industrial use. With the continuous improvement of product development ability of knitted enterprises in recent years, knitted products have gradually developed from traditional clothing and trousers to traditional clothing, such as cotton, sweater, trousers and so on, and the application fields of knitted products have been expanding.

Design, brand and quality assurance provide diversified choices for the market, and knitted sweaters and other clothing areas are more and more integrated and accelerated in the fields of design, fashion, culture and creativity. Knitted apparel shows more unique advantages from yarn to garment weaving and design. Seamless knitted underwear, integral forming vamp, fashionable design flat sweater and other knitted products are emerging constantly. Knitted products have become an important part of home, sports and leisure fields. Lace, lady's Bottomwear, sportswear, yoga suit and other diversified knitted products become daily consumer goods, and comfort and functional product innovation provide diversified product choices for daily consumption of residents. Underwear products fully reflect the characteristics of knitted products such as skin care, softness, comfort and so on. They continue to develop towards more comfortable, more environmental friendly, healthy and more functional functions.

2, accelerate the layout of the internal industrial structure of knitting.

In 2018, the knitting industry, while working hard to adapt to all kinds of environmental changes, accelerated the pace of the adjustment of the industrial structure inside the industry, mainly reflected in the enhancement of inter regional cooperation ability in the industry, the further enhancement of the international competitiveness of knitted fabrics, the parallel reduction of the output of knitted garments and the improvement of quality grades, and the prominent role of the domestic market.

Specifically, the enhancement of intra industry cross regional cooperation capability will ultimately affect the layout and order of industries and enterprises. In the process of industrial development, inter regional collaboration and cross regional mobility become a new form of industrial organization, especially large enterprises. In the early years, the capacity distribution of Southeast Asian and South Asian developing countries and regions has been carried out, or the pfer and layout of production capacity has been given priority to in the central and western regions. The coordinated development at home and abroad is more reflected in the design and research and development in China, and the cost impact factors are pferred to the lower cost production areas.

The international competitiveness of knitted fabrics is further improved, and the output and quality of knitted garments are reduced in parallel. The output and export volume of knitted garments have been reduced in recent years, but the export trend of knitted fabrics has increased, and the industry has taken the active adjustment in the process of environmental change, and the decrease of garment production and the increase of the added value of processing exist at the same time.

At the same time, facing the huge market in China, the industry should pay more attention to domestic market, adapt to domestic market demand, and strengthen the investment from product design, brand and channel expansion in response to international trade frictions and the increase in the uncertainty of overseas market.

3, the development of high quality industry is beginning to take shape.

The high quality development of the knitting industry is mainly reflected in higher production efficiency, better cost control, higher industrial added value, better social and environmental impact, and more sustainable development.

The improvement of production efficiency depends on more efficient production equipment, processing technology and lean management. The introduction and utilization of automation and intelligent advanced production lines and technological innovation provide impetus for the development of the industry.

At the same time, the pformation of low end and low added value to high-end products with high added value gradually becomes an important aspect of the industry's gradual release from the low-end labor-intensive industry. Many domestic textile enterprises are gradually changing from simple foundry to design R & D products, and the branding effect of production enterprises appears.

In terms of social and environmental impacts, knitting enterprises have gradually increased their input in environmental protection and energy saving and emission reduction. They should cope with the increasing pressure of environmental protection. Some enterprises have taken the pfer of production bases to introduce the most advanced domestic and foreign energy saving and environmental protection equipment in the new base, while ensuring that environmental protection requirements are met, high standard construction has laid a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the industry in the future.

At the same time, the major knitting industrial clusters continue to strengthen the construction of public service platform serving SMEs, creating conditions for innovation and entrepreneurship, personnel training and new project incubation.

4, new kinetic energy and new trend give birth to new impetus for industrial development.

With the continuous development of the foundation of industry development, the new stage of industrial development pays more attention to the design and development, product marketing and brand operation. More attention is paid to the introduction and utilization of new materials and new technologies, new business mode innovation and new marketing channel construction, and new economic forms such as Internet +, intelligent manufacturing, collaborative manufacturing, cloud computing, big data and so on have all given birth to new kinetic energy for the development of the industry.

Especially in the field of intelligent manufacturing, the digitization and automation level of knitting equipment has been relatively high. It will be possible to make intelligent manufacturing of collaborative manufacturing, remote cloud manufacturing, and large-scale customization in the form of appropriate interconnection protocol and remote control.

At present, the development and popularization of knitted intelligent manufacturing, especially the workshop MES management system, will play an important role in the production, scheduling, monitoring and execution of flat knitting machines, circular machines and warp knitting locomotives, and improving the utilization efficiency and productivity of equipment.

In 2018, the state promoted the pilot project of intelligent manufacturing. "Two pilot projects of intelligent manufacturing of warp knitting" (Jinjiang Huayu Weaving Co., Ltd. of Fujian province) and the "pilot demonstration of intelligent manufacturing of knitted garments" (Wuhan Aidi Group Co., Ltd.) were included in the Ministry of Commerce's "intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration project in 2018".

Three. Influencing factors of Industrial Development

1, short-term and long-term factors that affect industrial development.

Knitting industry is an important part of the textile industry. With the changing demands of the world's textile and clothing to individuation, leisure and comfort and health, China's knitting industry has experienced rapid development in fifteen and 11th Five-Year.

The 2013 is basically consistent with the overall development trend of domestic manufacturing industry, and the growth rate of industry is gradually declining. The growth of industrial development and the improvement of volume are no longer the ultimate goal of industrial development. To meet the needs of the consumer market and maintain the sustainable development of the industry is an important feature of the industry to adapt to the new development environment.

At the same time, the short-term and long-term factors that affect the development of industries interact with each other. Short-term factors include the impact of domestic and foreign economic fluctuations on orders and markets, and the impact of unfavorable factors such as trade friction on the export market. The medium and long term factors are mainly reflected in the factors affecting the development of the industry in the next ten years, such as technological innovation, labor productivity improvement, cost control, industrial layout and macro strategic pformation of enterprises.

However, as an important product of daily consumption of residents, the stable supply of knitting products and the stable development of the industry complement each other. Adapting to different markets and developing environment, constantly innovating and keeping pace with the times are inevitable requirements for the development of the industry.

2, the overseas market is warm and uncertain.

In 2018, the industry experienced trade frictions and increased competition in foreign countries. After four consecutive years of negative export growth, industry exports resumed positive growth, and exports increased by 91 billion 490 million US dollars, up 3.58% over the same period last year. This shows that our knitting industry has strong international competitiveness.

According to sub market data, in 2018, China's performance in the traditional export markets of the United States, the European Union and Japan varied.

In the US market, according to the statistics of the US Department of Commerce, the United States imported $82 billion 881 million from the world in 2018, an increase of 3.38% compared with the same period last year, and imports from China 27 billion 371 million US dollars, an increase of 1.34% compared with the same period last year. Imports of textiles 6 billion 526 million US dollars, an increase of 7.85% over the same period last year, and imports from China 2 billion 7 million US dollars, an increase of 9.02% over the previous year, of which knitted fabrics imported 619 million dollars, an increase of 3.69% over the same period last year, and imports from China 268 million dollars, an increase of -2.15% over the same period last year.

In the EU market, according to the statistics of the European Union statistics bureau, 28 EU countries imported knitted apparel and accessories 42 billion 223 million euros in 2018, an increase of 2.13% over the same period last year, and imported 12 billion 638 million euros from China, up from -1.37%, and 1 billion 561 million euros of imported knitted fabrics, an increase of -4.03% compared with the same period last year, and imports 589 million euros from China, an increase of 3% over the same period.

In the Japanese market, according to statistics from the Ministry of foreign affairs of Japan, Japan imported knitted apparel and accessories 1 trillion and 521 billion 704 million yen in 2018, an increase of 5.91% over the same period last year, 942 billion 605 million yen from China, -1.44%, and 13 billion 256 million yen of imports of knitted fabrics, an increase of 8.56% over the previous year, and 5 billion 408 million yen from China, an increase of 21.18% over the same period last year.

The import scale of the above market expanded overall in 2018, creating a better external market environment for our knitting industry to expand overseas markets.

But at the same time, the intensification of international competition will continue to have an impact on the development of the industry. China's share in these major markets has declined in recent years.

Compared with 2017, the proportion of knitted apparel products in the above market decreased generally. The clothing market in the United States accounted for 33.02%, a decrease of 0.67 percentage points. China's knitted fabrics accounted for 43.27%, which decreased by 2.58 percentage points. The EU market accounted for 29.93% of the knitted apparel and accessories in China, accounting for 1.06 percentage points, knitted fabrics accounted for 37.77%, an increase of 2.58 percentage points, and Japanese knitted apparel and accessories in the Japanese market accounted for 61.94%, decreased by 4.65 percentage points, knitted fabrics accounted for 40.08%, and increased by 4.65 percentage points.

In addition, the Sino US trade frictions in 2018 involved sixtieth Main knitted products (knitted goods and crochet knitted fabrics), which accounted for about 57% of the export volume of knitted fabrics to the United States. Although the overall proportion of knitted products exported to the United States was not high, the impact on orders of us export companies was large. Diversified market development, accelerated industrial internationalization layout and product structure adjustment were important strategies for these enterprises to cope with changes in the trade environment.

3, stable growth of domestic market and upgrading of consumption for a long time.

In recent years, with the steady growth of China's economy and the improvement of residents' income level, consumption plays a more and more important role in the national economy.

According to the national economic and social development statistics bulletin published in 2018, the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to GDP growth in 2018 was 76.2%, an increase of 17.4 percentage points over the previous year, and the per capita GDP was 64644 yuan, an increase of 6.1% over the previous year. The total retail sales of consumer goods in the whole year increased by 9% yuan, representing a growth of 9% over the previous year, of which the retail sales of urban consumer goods amounted to 325637 billion yuan, an increase of 8.8%, and the retail sales of rural consumer goods amounted to 55350 billion yuan, an increase of 10.1%; in the retail sales of above units, clothing, shoes and hats and needle textiles increased 8%; the annual online sale volume of physical goods was 18 billion yuan, an increase over the previous year, accounting for a share of the total retail sales of social consumer goods, a percentage point increase over the previous year.

From the perspective of domestic consumer demand for knitted products, the consumption of fashion among young people is strengthened, and the perception of product brand is being strengthened.
