In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the direct impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the production and operation of the textile industry, China Textile Federation conducted an investigation on the resumption of work and production of textile enterprises from mid-February to early March. The survey shows that in the past week, the resumption of work and production of textile enterprises has been progressing steadily, and the number of enterprises that have resumed work and the number of returning workers has continued to increase.
The China Textile Federation Cluster Office and the Park Office have investigated 29 key textile industry clusters in 15 provinces across the country. So far, a total of 11,000 textile enterprises have resumed production, accounting for 21.1% of the total number of the above-mentioned cluster enterprises.
The survey shows that in the past week, the resumption of work and production of enterprises in the middle and lower reaches of the textile industry chain has gradually improved, and the progress of the resumption of work and opening of the textile and garment professional market has accelerated. The synergy of the operation of the industrial chain is gradually recovering.
The resumption of work and production in the upstream links of the textile industry chain has been relatively good. In the early stage of resumption of work, it reflects the advantages of a high level of automation and digitalization of production equipment and a low degree of dependence on labor. Among the surveyed enterprises, about 85% of chemical fiber and cotton spinning enterprises have resumed production.
The terminal industry of the industrial chain was affected by factors such as insufficient workers returning to work and the difficulty of epidemic prevention management and procurement of epidemic prevention materials due to the large number of personnel. The initial progress of resumption of work and production was slow, but the situation has improved significantly recently.
At the same time, the progress of resumption of work and production of small and micro enterprises is still relatively slow. According to the survey data of China Textile Federation on 29 key industrial clusters, a total of 9,149 enterprises below the scale have resumed work, accounting for only 18.4% of the total number of enterprises below the cluster scale. In addition to the shortage of workers and the difficulty in purchasing anti-epidemic materials, the decrease in outsourcing orders from large enterprises and the fact that the professional market has not fully recovered are also important reasons for the lack of motivation for small and micro enterprises to resume work.
China National Textile and Apparel Council pointed out that recently, with the gradual implementation of policies and measures by governments at all levels to promote the resumption of work and production of enterprises, problems such as the return of personnel, logistics and transportation, and procurement of epidemic prevention materials that restricted the resumption of work of enterprises in the early stage are gradually being alleviated, but the difficult situation It still exists in some areas, and it will take some time for logistics capacity and prices to return to normal.
