In my country’s eastern coastal areas, the cluster development of the textile industry is becoming an “industrial phenomenon.” This phenomenon is particularly prominent in major textile provinces such as Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong.
This reporter learned this at the National Textile Base and Characteristic Town Industrial Cluster Development Seminar. According to statistics, the total output value, total export volume, and total profit of the textile industry in the five provinces of Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Fujian currently account for 73%, 70%, and 87% of the country’s total, respectively, and the textile cluster effect in these five provinces is very large. Significantly.
According to a survey by the China Textile Industry Association, the output value of Jiangyin City, Zhangjiagang City, Changshu City in Jiangsu Province, Shaoxing County in Zhejiang Province, Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou City, Dongguan City, Kaiping City, and Zhongshan City in Guangdong Province exceeds 10 billion The total output value of the textile industry in the 10 textile base cities (counties) reached 244.2 billion yuan, accounting for 38% of the total industrial output value of these 10 cities and counties.
Experts participating in the seminar believed that textile industry clusters, as a form of regional economic organization, provide favorable conditions for the intensive development of non-public small and medium-sized textile enterprises. Their strong industrial vitality is accelerating rural industrialization and urbanization. It has played an irreplaceable positive role in increasing social employment and fiscal and tax revenue. However, my country’s textile industry clusters, which are in the booming stage, inevitably have blindness and extensive tendencies, as well as various problems such as paving the way, comparing quantities, and regional segmentation in administrative management. Studying the “industrial cluster phenomenon” in the textile industry and guiding the sustainable and healthy development of textile industry clusters in key regions across the country has become an important issue for the development of the textile industry.
