As Chinese traditional advantage industry, textile industry in the first half of this year felt unprecedented pressure. Rising labor costs, the RMB appreciation, raw material prices. Stress, many enterprise's profit margin was cut, insiders have even started concerns the overall competitiveness of industry will be challenged.
  Labour is scarce and prices
  Since the beginning of the year, the lack of work report is rampant occupy the important position of each big media. As a representative of labor-intensive industries, lack of work experience in textiles and more directly. Weifang a textile enterprise responsible for import and export of work, told reporters the engineer will be caught line, "is not working, managers and workers in the busy work, production, container is very normal." Notable is, the lack of work only in eastern coastal areas, hunan, sichuan, Inner Mongolia and other provinces of textile enterprises also expressed, director of work has spread to the inland areas. "Most factories are almost idle, because lack of work line, hard to produce mega-destroyer." Hunan MaFangZhi a responsible person of the enterprise.
  In the lack of work has not been completely solve the problem, a nationwide to a wave of textile enterprises brings new confusion. According to understand, since this year, 27 provinces or plans to raise the minimum wage standard, raise jiangsu, zhejiang, guangdong province of large trade adjustment range in some provinces by more than 10 percent, or even more than 20%. In recognition of the wave of zhejiang province, and raise a silk enterprise vice President told reporters industry is now facing the truth, "half raise to the pressures of textile industry, is likely to exceed the exchange rate fluctuations".
  Exchange rate as mystifying
  In addition to labor force, another concern is with the topic of textile industry, this is RMB exchange rate. Average 3% to 5% of the profit space has become the consensus of RMB exchange rate appreciation, even a point, are likely to low profits disappear. In such worries, a lot of textile enterprises in order to first when carefully. On June 19, the central bank to decide. Based on market supply and demand, with reference to a basket of currencies. Central Banks, the RMB exchange rate fluctuations, hanging in not substantially in textile enterprises "rock" finally landed. Tianjin international group LiYiZhong vice-president north told reporters, it should absorb the renminbi revaluation of the abrupt in 2008. Currently downstream products export clothing, so the pressure still floating exchange rate does not want too big, or export enterprise can't meet long list. He emphasized that gradually rise is acceptable, control in 1 to 2 point between the best. Nonetheless, the reporter interviewed by parties to understand, in the second half of the rate of current market movements still shows some degree of concern, the future of the uncertainty of textile enterprises not connect to big and long list.
  Raw material prices will rise?
  If the labor and the exchange rate fluctuations is derived from the pressure of domestic, raw material is spreading soaring global textile market. In early July announced in June of Chinese manufacturing industry in the purchasing manager index, the textile industry purchase PMI price index 76.6% as raw material price pressure, in industry. A textile enterprise controller, nanjing city, jiangsu province, told reporters today, every day will take cash to factories, etc. Because the price agreement before signing doesn't count, the factory is completely a day price almost.
  With cotton, for example, statistics, from December, successive 5 months, cotton prices rose more than 30% monthly year-on-year. Market participants are expected to be common in the second half, MianJia 2 yuan per ton breakthrough, continue to set the record for 10 years. Not only such, silk, wool, polyester, also in the first half, which have gone, silk climbed to a 15-year high, and the international monetary fund statistics show that the price of wool carpet was used at its highest level since 1980. Various types of textile enterprises are facing the raw material cost pressures. The responsible person of the enterprise weifang, now a lot of export enterprises have orders, but no profit, individual long list can appear even losses, "the product price rise forever with raw material prices are rising faster."
During the first half of the textile industry in the expert inside course of study, has pointed out when accepting a reporter to interview, domestic market, the price has the ability of the enterprise has started to raise prices, but is not, after all, "the global in domestic market, pipeline and cost to occupy the textile industry brand comprehensive cost of the majority. For exports, this year will be destined is difficult year, it is possible to southeast part orders will be cheaper.
  According to insiders concerns about the textile industry competitiveness, experts say, China's textile industry industry, supporting relatively comprehensive competitiveness is still overwhelmingly, "other countries may be a link in the chain, but the whole competitive advantage, China still."
