Xinjiang, with its unique location, resources and policy advantages, is ushering in a critical period of high-quality development. The rise of Aksu Textile Industrial City, Korla Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shihezi Economic and Technological Development Zone, Alar Economic and Technological Development Zone and other comprehensive textile and clothing bases leads the coordinated development of Xinjiang's textile and clothing industry.
At present, Xinjiang's spinning capacity has reached 27 million spindles, and the main products are 32S and 40S pure cotton yarns, which are widely sold outside Xinjiang. However, with the entry of downstream weaving enterprises, the proportion of cotton yarn in Xinjiang is gradually increasing. In order to further optimize the structure of textile raw materials, Xinjiang is accelerating the construction of synthetic fiber projects, including the construction of a 1.2 million ton annual PTA project in the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industrial Park of the Korla Shangku High tech Industrial Development Zone, as well as subsequent projects such as polyester staple fiber and polyester filament. These measures not only provide downstream spinning and weaving enterprises with differentiated chemical fiber raw materials, but also promote the transformation of some enterprises to blended yarn or medium and high count combed products.
In addition, Xinjiang's textile and clothing industry is actively expanding its industrial chain, making remarkable progress in all aspects from cotton planting to spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and garment manufacturing. In particular, the production capacity of air jet looms in Yining and Aksu regions is large, which has attracted a large number of enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to invest. Their products are mainly home textile fabrics and tooling fabrics. At the same time, the investment of chemical fiber enterprises in the east coast has also brought the gathering of production capacity of water jet looms in Alar, and the main products are home textiles. In terms of printing, dyeing and finished product manufacturing, Xinjiang has also been steadily advancing, forming a printing and dyeing distribution centered on the areas where weaving production capacity is concentrated, while finished products are dominated by tooling fabrics, knitted fabrics, socks, gloves, etc.
Development Status and Challenges of Xinjiang Textile and Garment Industry
Xinjiang, as an important base of China's textile and clothing industry, has developed rapidly in recent years. However, with the expansion of the industrial scale, it also faces a series of challenges. In order to regulate market competition, Xinjiang has implemented the Regulations on the Review of Fair Competition, and has successively stopped local subsidy policies in various regions. At present, the subsidy policy in the Notice of the General Office of the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Adjusting and Optimizing Policies and Measures for the Cotton, Textile and Garment Industry of the Autonomous Region is uniformly implemented throughout Xinjiang.
In terms of resources, the electricity charges in the north and south of Xinjiang have been unified, and the final electricity price is 33 yuan/kWh, providing stable energy support for textile enterprises. However, there are still some gaps in employment. The overall proportion of ethnic minority employees in southern Xinjiang is higher than that in northern Xinjiang, and the work efficiency of enterprises needs to be improved compared with that of mainland enterprises. The average wage level is between 4000-5000 yuan/month, and the wage level in some regions is relatively high, but overall, the profitability is not ideal.
At present, market weakness and insufficient orders have become the main problems restricting the development of Xinjiang textile enterprises. The inventory of enterprises has been maintained for about a month, and some enterprises have failed to produce at full capacity, so the profitability is worrying. In the face of these challenges, Xinjiang textile enterprises have put forward appeals, hoping that the government can reasonably plan the industrial layout, actively fulfill its commitments, and avoid overcapacity and capital waste caused by homogeneous investment.
At the same time, the enterprise also realizes that the development of the textile and clothing industry needs the support of diversified textile materials. Although the current market is still dominated by cotton and viscose staple fibers, the use of non cotton fiber materials will gradually increase in the future. However, due to the incomplete industrial supporting facilities in Xinjiang, some chemical fiber raw materials and non pure cotton yarns need to be transported from the mainland to Xinjiang, resulting in increased production costs. Therefore, differentiated spinning and weaving enterprises hope that the government can speed up the improvement of textile and clothing industry supporting facilities and enhance the cost advantage of Xinjiang production.
