Changes in the external environment and downward pressure on the economy make many textile enterprises feel less and less opportunities in the market. In the new year, how to deal with internal and external challenges and seize future industrial opportunities to achieve sustainable growth and high quality development?


We chose DuPont, Japan, Dongli, Austria, India, Bola, Japan, Holland, DSM, South Korea, France, AACMA, and 9 international businesses in the United States. We explored how they could move the market through their new plan in 2020. For domestic textile and garment enterprises, the direction of market demand changes and the direction of industry layout.


1 DuPont, USA


Continue to promote sustainable development goals



Open the official website of DuPont Co. The front page of the news shows "DuPont Co announces the 2030 sustainable development goal". This is certainly not only a work done in 2020, but a work that runs through 2030. The new goal highlights the importance of adhering to sustainability to achieve its vision of "essential innovation and social prosperity."


The company's nine objectives are divided into three categories: providing sustainable innovation, helping customers and the world's prosperity and development; strengthening the company's sustainability image throughout the operation process; and taking action to ensure the inclusiveness, happiness and health of the human and community. Specifically, the company is committed to achieving the following objectives:


1, we should comprehensively adjust DuPont Co's innovative product mix so as to effectively promote the goal of sustainable development of the United Nations and create value for customers.


2, considering the impact of product life cycle on DuPont Co's market, integrating circular economy principles into business models;


3, when designing products and processes, we must adopt sustainable standards including principles of green chemistry.


4, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, including 60% of electricity from renewable sources of energy, and achieve carbon neutralization by 2050;


5, implement the water strategy at the locations of DuPont Co factories, give priority to the manufacturing factories and communities of high-risk basins, and lead millions of people to use clean water through leading water treatment technology progress and establishing strategic partnership.


6, continue to uphold DuPont Co's commitment to zero harm, zero occupational disease, zero accidents, zero waste and zero emissions.


7, become one of the most inclusive companies in the world, and achieve diversification beyond industry benchmarks.


8, create a working environment that allows employees to have a high sense of happiness and a sense of accomplishment.


9, improve the lives of more than 100 million people through targeted social impact plans.


DuPont's goal of sustainable development in 2030 put forward the principle of integrating circular economy into the business mode. Its circular economy principle was born at the end of the 1980s. DuPont Co creatively developed the three principles of circular economy into a "reduction, reuse and recycling manufacturing method" combined with the chemical industry. By abandoning the use of some environmentally harmful chemicals, reducing the use of some chemicals and inventing new technologies for recycling products, the waste plastics produced by the company decreased by 25% in 1994, and the emissions of air pollutants decreased by 70%. At the same time, recycled chemicals from waste plastics, such as discarded milk boxes and disposable plastic containers, have developed new durable products such as Vic.


In addition to advocating the integration of circular economy into the business model, DuPont's 2030 sustainable development goals are more specific, including more transparent, more detailed emission reduction targets and humane care for employees. The new sustainability goals have expanded the level of related work. Over the years, DuPont has created more value for its consumers through sustainability. The sustainability benefits have created unique competitive advantages for DuPont and drive shareholders and social benefits at the same time.

5 Japanese Emperor


Expand sales of functional outdoor clothing fabrics



In order to expand the sales of outdoor fabrics for spring and summer sports in 2021, the Japanese emperor Fu ruit is promoting a lightweight and high tearing outdoor sportswear fabric. This fabric has light weight and high tear strength. At the same time, it has no concave and flat appearance and soft texture, excellent abrasion resistance and durability. It is an environment-friendly outdoor sportswear fabric.


In recent years, the sportswear market has become increasingly mainstream in combination with sports / outdoor and lifestyle style. Therefore, in addition to its outstanding functions, market demand for products with new appearance and new texture is also growing. For sportswear, as a lightweight fabric with high tear strength, in order to make it have high strength, it is usually used to weave the coarse threads into woven weave knitted fabrics. However, the lattice pattern of such fabric is concave and convex, rigid and prominent parts are easy to wear, and the problem of wire drawing needs to be improved. At present, tearing fabric is difficult to differentiate in terms of performance, appearance and texture. Therefore, the demand for new fabric design is growing.


Against this background, the Tat Ritter company uses high strength polyester yarns and designs with suitable arrangement and braiding density to develop fabrics with lightweight and high tear strength. At the same time, this fabric has smooth appearance and soft texture, and has excellent abrasion resistance and durability. It is hoped that this fabric will not only be for outdoor sports apparel, but also for fashion clothing, school uniforms and work clothes. It is expected that its output will reach 100 thousand meters in 2020, and it will reach 400 thousand meters in 3 years.


For many years, the group has devoted itself to the research and development of functional fabrics. In 2019, the group's research and development paid more attention to outdoor sportswear fabrics. In view of the characteristics of outdoor clothing and casual wear in autumn and winter, we have successfully developed a cotton style polyester high functional fabric "new polyester fabric" which is suitable for outdoor casual wear and has excellent functions such as pure cotton appearance and hand feel, sweat absorption, speed drying and ultraviolet protection. In 2020, the emperor will continue to promote functional fabrics. Taking technological innovation as the core and providing a brand-new solution for global issues, it is becoming the top priority for the development of the group.
