China's textile machinery industry has built a solid foundation over the years. The sector offers a wide range of products, competitive pricing, and moderate technology, with well-established distribution channels. It holds a significant position in the domestic market and enjoys a good reputation internationally. In recent years, exports have been growing at an accelerated pace. For instance, in 2005, total export volume increased by 30.3% compared to 2004, and the export markets have been gradually expanding. This is certainly encouraging. However, the import value of textile machinery in the same year was five times the export value, indicating strong market demand and highlighting the huge potential for further growth in exports. At the same time, it also underscores the urgent need to improve product quality and enhance technological content.
For example, the unit price of carding machines imported is more than ten times that of the exported ones. Similarly, the import price of rapier looms is eight times the export price, and the cost of importing metal card clothing and textile parts is five times the export price. These sharp price differences clearly reflect the urgent need to elevate the technical standards and add more value to China's textile machinery products.
Looking at the global market, Switzerland accounts for 98% of its textile machinery production, Germany for 94%, Italy for 71%, and South Korea’s exports to Asia make up 75% of its total exports. In contrast, China's textile machinery exports only account for 11.5% of the total value. This data reveals that China's textile machinery products are still largely confined within the domestic market, and there is an urgent need to "go out" and compete globally to achieve further development and improvement.
To accelerate the process of entering the international market, we must first focus on the word “good†— ensuring that every product, whether it's a complete machine or just a part, meets high standards. This “good†includes not only the internal quality but also the surface finish, service quality, and environmental safety. By producing high-quality products and building our own brands, we can win customer trust and gain a competitive edge through quality rather than low prices.
Second, we should emphasize “mechanization†and significantly improve the technological level of textile machinery. With the advancement of science and technology, modern electromechanical systems reflect the current level of industrial development. To enhance the technical standards of our products, we must integrate precision mechanical components with advanced control systems. By achieving mechatronics levels, we can better compete in the global market and create more value through innovation.
Third, we need to implement a strategy of “inviting in and going out.†“Inviting in†means bringing in foreign advanced technologies and talents to help us improve our capabilities. “Going out†involves leveraging our financial, technological, and labor advantages to establish joint ventures or sole proprietorships abroad, thereby promoting the export of Chinese textile machinery.
Finally, the industry must adopt self-discipline and regulate exports to prevent destructive price competition. As a legal and rule-based economy, entering the international market requires adherence to global standards and self-regulation. Curbing price-cutting and disorderly competition is now a top priority for sustainable development.
