As a key area of textile science and technology innovation, the industrial textile industry is an important direction for the structural adjustment and upgrading of the textile industry. In recent years, with the progress of technology, the industrial industry has made a lot of achievements. For example, breakthroughs have been made in industrial textile processing technology and equipment; new achievements have been made in the application and promotion of raw material diversification, non-woven composite processing technology, high-end weaving molding technology and finishing technology; functional fiber materials have basically reached the international leading level.

The industry as a whole is running well

In 2018, although China's industrial textile industry is facing a relatively complex development environment, the demand of the main market is relatively stable. Various national policies to support the development of the real economy have been introduced and gradually played a role. The overall operation of the industry is in good condition, the situation of steady growth in production and sales and the decline in profit growth has been initially curbed. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the growth rate of industrial added value of the industry from January to November was 8.4, which was higher than the average value of the manufacturing industry, and was also at the leading level in the textile industry.
From January to November, the output of non-woven fabrics of enterprises above designated size was 3.518 million tons, an increase of 9.67 year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 9 percentage points over the same period of the year. The domestic demand and export market of non-woven fabrics maintained relatively strong demand throughout the year; The output of cord fabric was 589000 tons, an increase of 2.08 year-on-year, and the growth rate was basically the same as last year. The decline in automobile production and sales have had a certain impact on the upstream cord fabric market. From January to November, the main business income and total profit of China's industrial textile industry were 231.6 billion yuan and 12.04 billion yuan respectively, an increase of 8.45 percent and 3.76 percent respectively over the same period last year, and the growth rate increased by 2 percentage points and 4 percentage points respectively compared with the same period last year. The total profit gradually returned to the current medium and low-speed growth from a slight decrease last year.
From January to November, the average profit margin of enterprises above designated size in the industry was 5.20, which was on the rise but still 0.24 percentage points lower than the same period last year. The main reason for the decline in the profitability of the industry is the increase in costs due to fluctuations in raw material prices, and the fierce competition in some areas makes it difficult for the selling price of products to rise in tandem with costs. The business differentiation among enterprises has also led to a decline in the overall profitability of the industry. From January to November, the loss of enterprises above designated size in the industry reached 12.51, an increase of 3.4 percentage points over the same period last year, and the loss of loss-making enterprises increased by 43.6. Small enterprises and some enterprises with a single product structure, at the end of the product life cycle, and slow innovation speed are facing greater difficulties, with reduced benefits or even losses; large enterprises have strong technological innovation capabilities, high degree of product differentiation, and fine The management is effective, and the bargaining power with upstream and downstream enterprises is relatively strong, so it continues to maintain a good momentum of development. In the first three quarters, the main business income and total profit of 15 listed companies in the industry increased by 12.26 and 35.69 respectively, and the average profit margin reached 16.27.
By industry, the performance level of nonwovens has improved significantly. From January to November, the main business income and total profit of non-woven fabric enterprises above designated size increased by 8.86 and 1.49 respectively. From the export data, the average price of non-woven fabric increased slightly. The main business income and total profit of other industrial textiles (including filtration, geotechnical, protection, transportation and composite materials) increased by 10.84 and 17.81 respectively, with an average profit margin of 5.96, A year-on-year increase of 0.35 percentage points, in the leading level in the whole textile industry. Although the main business income of ropes, ropes and cables increased by 4.94, the total profit decreased by 6.69.
From 1 to November, the export delivery value of enterprises above the scale of the industry increased by 5.34. According to data released by China Customs, China exported 832000 tons of nonwovens from January to November 2018, with an export value of US $2.58 billion billion, an increase of 2.5 percent and 8.7 percent, respectively, and the export price of nonwovens increased by 6 percent. In the first three quarters, the United States imported 0.255 billion US dollars of nonwovens from China, and the share of Chinese nonwovens in the US market increased slightly. According to Japanese customs data, Japan imported 229000 tons of nonwovens worth 86.59 billion yen in 2018, down 4.64 percent and 5.07 percent respectively compared with 2017, while nonwovens imported from China were 37.88 billion yen, down 12.5 percent from the same period last year.
In 2019, my country's industrial textile industry will continue to rely on the huge domestic market, actively explore the international market, especially the market along the Belt and Road, and enhance the competitiveness of the industry through technological innovation and refined management, and resolve the uncertainty of the macro environment. Various risks to ensure the stable and healthy development of the industry.
