looking back at the 40 years of reform and opening up,YesTextile IndustryThe 40 years of bravely standing at the head of the tide and daring to be a pioneer; it is the 40 years of self-revolution of the textile industry; it is the 40 years of the textile industry seizing opportunities, innovating and enterprising; it is the 40 years of the textile industry's rapid progress and brilliant achievements.The following group from the China Textile Industry Federationindustrial economyThe data of the Institute really illustrates this point.

From 1978 to 2018, after 40 years of development, China has become the world's largest textile producer, consumer and exporter. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the manufacturing capacity of China's textile industry has been improved by leaps and bounds, the industrial system has been increasingly improved, the vitality of the main body of enterprises has been stimulated, and it has been integrated into the wave of globalization in an all-round way. The textile industry has remained stable for 40 years,HealthThe development trajectory, in China's pillar industry status has not been shaken, and has become the core force to support the smooth operation of the world textile industry system and an important industrial platform to promote global economic and cultural coordination and cooperation.

In the past 40 years, the textile industry has experienced the process of great liberation and development of productivity, and the processing and manufacturing capacity has achieved rapid development.1978The total amount of fiber processing in China is 2.76 million tons, accounting for less than 10% of the world's total.1982, our countryFiber processing quantityOn the 4 million-ton step, the output of cotton cloth reached 15.35 billion meters, an increase of 39.2 per cent over 1978, which has been able to better meet the basic needs of the people of the whole country for clothing and quilts;1983The official cancellation of limited supply of cotton has become an important milestone in the history of China's textile industry.economy of shortageThe era is officially over.1996China's fiber processing capacity increased to 10.9 million tons, breaking through the 10 million ton mark for the first time, accounting for 22% of the world's total, realizing the textile processing capacity and the proportion of the total population in the world.2010China's fiber processing capacity exceeded 40 million tons, reaching 41.3 million tons, accounting for 50% of the world's total.2017China's fiber processing capacity has reached 54.3 million tons, nearly 20 times that of 1978, and the output of yarn, cloth and chemical fiber is 17, 8 and 173 times that of 1978 respectively. China has become the largest textile country in the world, which not only effectively meets the fiber consumption demand of China, which accounts for nearly 1/3 of the world's 1/5 population, but also provides more than 2000 million tons of high-quality fiber products for other countries.

With the expansion of manufacturing scale, China's textile industry chain continues to extend, and gradually form the world's most perfect modern textile manufacturing industry system, the manufacturing capacity and level of each link of the industrial chain are in the forefront of the world.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, cotton textile and printing and dyeing processing is China'sTextile Industrythe subject,1978Cotton spinning and dyeing industrygross industrial output valueThe proportion reached 46.3 per cent and 20.7 per cent, respectively, and the knitting, silk, chemical fiber and wool textile industries accounted for 8.7 per cent, 7.6 per cent, 6 per cent and 5.7 per cent, respectively;Fiber processing quantityCotton accounted for 81%, chemical fiber accounted for only 15%.1980The proportion of fiber consumption in the three major terminal industries of clothing, home textiles and industrial use is 84:11:5.1984The textile industry formally proposed to focus on the development of clothing, decorative textiles, industrial textiles "three pillars" products, and vigorously develop deep processing products. Since the new century, the chemical fiber industry has developed strongly, with its output increasing from 6 million tons to nearly 50 million tons, providing sufficient raw material guarantee for the textile industry to meet domestic demand and go international; the two major categories of household and industrial use have made rapid progress, and the ability to meet the needs of consumption and industry has been comprehensively improved,2007The proportion of fiber consumption in the three major terminal industries has been adjusted to 52:33:15, the proportion of home textiles has reached a historical high, and industrial textiles are still in an upward cycle.2017In my country's total fiber processing, cotton accounts for only 13.9, and chemical fiber accounts for 83.5; the proportion of fiber consumption of the three major end products has been adjusted to 45.5:27.6:26.9. The advantages of the modern textile industry system with complete categories, rich varieties, excellent quality and optimized structure are fully apparent.

The textile industry is the pioneer and firm practitioner of market-oriented reform. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's socialist market economic system has been gradually established and improved, becoming the most important source of vitality for the textile industry. Before the reform and opening up, the textile industry was in a planned economic management mode, and the main products were purchased and sold.1984, the state began to reduce the mandatory plan products.1985The country is gradually liberalizing self-export. Due to the comprehensive start of economic system reform, the mid-1980s became an important landmark stage in the leapfrog development of the textile industry.

The capital structure of textile enterprises has gradually changed, and diversified capital is bursting with vitality in the industry, reflecting the basic role of the market in the allocation of resources.197893.2 percent of the total industrial output value of the textile industry comes from enterprises owned by the whole people.Late 80 s of last centuryTownship enterprises have flourished and become an effective force for the textile industry to meet domestic demand and promote rural economic development.In the 1990 sThe reform of state-owned textile enterprises has opened, and state-owned enterprises have begun to transform their operating mechanisms, establish their current enterprise system, and become the main body of market competition; encourage the development of multiple economic components,non-state-owned economyVitality is stimulated.1996In the total industrial output value of the textile industry, state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises accounted for 29.6, 44.8 and 25.4, respectively, basically forming a three-part world pattern.Late 90 s of last centuryThe 10 million of cotton spinning production capacity has become an important turning point for the textile industry to seek new development in a market-oriented way, and the national retreat and the advancement of the people have further released the vitality of the industry.2000State-owned enterprises still account for 28.7 percent of the total output value of the textile industry. To2015State-controlled enterprises account for the entire industry.Main business incomeThe proportion of foreign-funded enterprises fell to 16.2 per cent, while the proportion of private enterprises was as high as 76.5 per cent.

The reform and opening up has opened the door to the world for the textile industry. The industry actively conforms to and takes advantage of the development opportunities of economic globalization, promotes the free flow of domestic and foreign factors, deeply integrates the market, and improves the efficiency of resource allocation.

1978, our countryTextile ClothingThe export volume is only 2.15 billion US dollars. After the reform and opening up, the export-oriented economic development of "three to one supplement" has officially promoted the textile industry to the international market. After 1985, the country gradually liberalized self-export, textile and clothing foreign trade into a rapid development cycle.1994China's textile and clothing exports reached 35.55 billion billion US dollars, accounting for 8.6 percent of the world's total, ranking first in the world. China joined in 2001World Trade OrganizationIn 2005, the global textile and clothing trade was fully liberalized, which became a major historical opportunity for the full release of the competitiveness of China's textile industry.2000China's share of global textile and apparel export trade is 14.6 percent, up2008It has increased to 26.1 percent.2017, our countryTextile ClothingExports have reached US $267.39 billion billion, 115 times as much as in 1978, accounting for 36.8 per cent of the world's total.

While developing foreign trade, China's textile industry actively uses foreign raw materials, capital, technology, talents and other advantageous resources to learn from others and make up for their own shortcomings. In 1978, the textile industry imported 1.12 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange. At its peak in 2011, my country's textile industry imported a total of 73.75 billion U.S. dollars in various raw materials, equipment, dye auxiliaries, etc., 66 times that of 1978. With the enhancement of self-supporting capacity and the improvement of the competitiveness of private capital, the textile industry has further increased the pace of using international resources. Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", my country's backbone textile enterprises have established overseas raw material bases, processing factories, brands and channels, R & D centers, etc. through various channels such as greenfield investment and capital operation, and actively built a transnational industrial chain and value chain system. According to incomplete statistics from the Ministry of Commerce, as of the end of 2016, there were 1082 overseas investment companies in the textile industry, with an investment stock of US $6.86 billion, and an operating income of US $7.3 billion in 2016.

Since the reform and opening up, the textile industry has been continuously improving and developing, which has made great changes in people's clothing, which is not only a major development achievement of the textile industry, but also the most intuitive embodiment of China's economic and social development.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, the textile industry is still in the stage of trying to solve the needs of the people across the country to wear clothes and cover food and clothing. The level of clothing consumption is still low, and the variety of raw materials, clothing styles, and colors are relatively monotonous.In 1978,China's per capita fiber consumption is only 2.9kg, 38% of the world average.1990When our country basically solved the problem of food and clothing for the people, the per capita fiber consumption increased to 4kg;2000When the country entered a well-off society as a whole, it reached 7.5kg, which was 46.5 per cent and 80 per cent of the world average at that time, respectively. Since the new century, the rapid development of China's national economy has led to a continuous increase in the income of urban and rural residents, and the development of the domestic demand market has entered a golden cycle, providing a strong driving force for the development of the textile industry.2005China's per capita fiber consumption reached 13kg, exceeding the world average of 11.1kg in that year.2008China's per capita fiber consumption exceeded 15kg,2015More than 20kg, of which industrial fiber consumption has increased significantly, and the quantity and structure of fiber consumption in China are gradually approaching the level of moderately developed countries.2016The per capita clothing consumption expenditure of urban and rural residents in my country reached 1739 yuan and 575.4 yuan respectively, an increase of 16.7 times and 17.4 times respectively over 1985. As my country sprints towards the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the people's demand for a better life is increasing, functional,FashionSex, ecology to replace the simple requirements of good quality and low price, become the new trend of domestic demand upgrade, science and technology,FashionGreen has also become a new self-positioning for the textile industry to comply with the market demand situation.

The total wages paid to employees in that year were 2.1 billion yuan. With the expansion of scale and the rise of private economy, the ability of textile industry to absorb employment has been improved rapidly.
