As the financial crisis, in December 2008 car sales hit a 27-year low. 32 square meters per vehicle used by textile terms, the U.S. auto industry downturn will make textile consumption plummeted. Meanwhile, the U.S. slowdown also led to reduced sales of vessels. Downturn in these sectors, directly led to the textiles industry sales decline, such as awning market growth rate from 3% in 2007 down to 2008, annual growth rate of 1% to 2%, 2008 sales of marine fabrics than the 0.5% decline in 2007, appeared in 2009, some rebound. Despite the serious difficulties facing the U.S. industrial sector's overall performance is still worth noting. Some U.S. industrial textiles enterprises are with the government, industrial development and production of strategic cooperation between institutions to improve the products and their applications. For example, Auburn University and Georgia Institute of Technology as a R & D team is working with DuPont Richmond Plant Milliken and U.S. chemical companies to research and design a new, demand-driven nature of the reinforcement with the function of light textiles, such textiles primary role is to provide ballistic and fragmentation protection.

The recovery in U.S. domestic apparel manufacturing industry is China's apparel exports will compete? Taking into account the clothing industry positioning the two countries are different now difficult to draw conclusions. Apparel exports to the U.S. price of the product with warp bottoming out in February, after rising to keep vibration, volume and price go up, there is still expected to follow up space.Various types of apparel exported to the U.S. products with the warp, pile fabrics lower, elastic fabric, warp knitting cloth, lace weight upgrade.
