In the last week of May, Shengze Textile Enterprises ushered in a textile machinery feast at home.
As we all know, the textile industry is a traditional pillar industry of the national economy and an important livelihood industry, and textile equipment is an important production tool for textile enterprises. This textile machinery exhibition brings together new equipment and new technologies. What signals do these send to textile companies?
01 Focus on energy conservation and environmental protection, while maintaining innovation and upgrading.
Faced with problems such as insufficient domestic and foreign market demand and rising costs driven by inflation, the growth rate of the textile machinery industry continues to weaken, and operations are gradually coming under pressure.
Data show that in 2022, the actual revenue of my country’s textile machinery enterprises above designated size was 96.639 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.24%; the total profit was 6.072 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 21.14%.
Through on-site research at the textile machinery exhibition, we found that most textile machinery companies will simultaneously promote R&D innovation and technological upgrading, adopt new technologies and new processes, and comprehensively upgrade textile equipment through digitalization, intelligence, automation and other means.
Manager Wang of a machinery company:
“What we bring this time is a proofing equipment for the printing and dyeing industry. The equipment uses PLC + computer touch screen, which is easier to operate than traditional equipment. And through the latest technology, it can save 1/3 of water and electricity, and is improving Production efficiency while achieving energy conservation and environmental protection.”
A new loom manufacturer:
“Our core product is a new self-developed water-jet loom. This model has been upgraded to dual-pump four-jet looms. The product applicability and production efficiency have been significantly improved. In addition, in terms of energy saving, a single loom can save 10% of water. %, reducing power consumption by more than 20%.”
The person in charge of a certain textile machinery:
“This exhibition mainly promotes two products, among which a dobby machine is a newly upgraded equipment. This equipment reduces the area occupied by the machine by reducing its own structure, thereby saving the area used in the workshop.”
The above-mentioned textile machinery companies are all sending a signal. As competition in the textile industry becomes increasingly fierce, industrial upgrading and environmental protection and energy conservation have become the main theme of the textile market. Textile companies are turning more attention to the quality, energy consumption, intelligence, and return on investment of equipment. etc.
02 Active purchasing, equipment update is imminent
Under the pressure of rising costs, increasing environmental protection requirements, and a complex international environment, the textile industry wants to “rejuvenate old trees with new shoots”, and the upgrading of textile equipment is urgent.
This can be gleaned from the transactions of intention at the Textile Machinery Exhibition. Visitors coming and going at the exhibition stopped to discuss cooperation or listen to the explanations. Some booths had continuous traffic, and even the prototypes of some exhibitors were sold out.
A local textile machinery company in Shengze:
“Because the products we bring can replace foreign products in terms of functions and are extremely cost-effective. On the first day of the exhibition, the intended orders for the main products have reached more than 300 units!”
Manager Wang of a machinery company:
“We have a lot of intended orders at our booth, and we can add dozens of WeChat messages every day. Nowadays, textile companies have a high frequency of product development, and printing and dyeing companies are paying more and more attention to energy conservation and environmental protection, which coincides with our product positioning.”
For a long time, Shengze’s textile industry has been dominated by woven fabrics. Therefore, local textile companies have extremely huge purchasing demand for such textile equipment.
Mr. Li from a mechanical technology company:
“Our company is deeply involved in the field of water-jet looms and has a high market share. We brought three water-jet looms to this exhibition. On the first day of the exhibition, the intended orders exceeded 300 units.”
“If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.” Advanced textile equipment can not only improve the production efficiency of textile enterprises, but also provide a strong boost for the enterprise’s new product research and development. Overcapacity has caused the textile industry to enter a “shuffle period”, and differentiated and high value-added products have gradually become the only choice for companies to seize market share and improve their bargaining power.
Postscript:
As the textile market gradually opens its off-season mode, textile companies adapt to development needs and accelerate the pace of upgrading textile equipment. The future textile industry must be smart, fashionable and green.
