       On March 20th, the fifth plenary meeting of the 7th Council of China Textile Machinery Association was held in Quanzhou, Fujian. Wang Shutian, president of China Textile Machinery Association, Zhu Xiangmin, chief engineer, vice president Lu Honggang, Gu Ping, Li Yi, Secretary General Xu Lin, and more than 100 representatives of domestic textile machinery manufacturing enterprises attended the meeting to analyze market situation and development trend. Explore the future direction of development.

       According to Wang Shutian's analysis, the operation of the textile machinery industry in 2017 reflects several main features: First, the industry's economy is running smoothly and has increased, and the quality of operation has improved. Second, the industry's ability to innovate has improved significantly, making breakthroughs in many areas of technology. Among the Textile Light Technology Awards, four textile machinery projects won the first prize. In addition, in terms of product development, a stable model combining production, education and research has been established. Third, the industry self-discipline level and corporate governance capabilities have improved.

       At the same time, although industry insiders and enterprises are more optimistic about the situation in 2018, Wang Shutian still hopes that enterprises can clearly understand that there are still many shortcomings and difficulties in the development of the textile machinery industry: in terms of high-end equipment and technology and international advanced level. There are gaps; in addition, companies face increasing costs, lack of talent, and difficulty in recruiting workers. Wang Shutian said that the improvement of innovation capability and differentiated development are still the focus of future development. This requires us to continue to do a good job in basic work, continuous management, technology and product innovation, improve product quality and product quality, down-to-earth, and advance with the times. Only in this way can enterprises and industries continue to develop.

        Analysis of the market situation, Wang Shutian believes that the import value of textile machinery in 2017 once again exceeded exports, which shows that domestic textile equipment can not keep up with the pace of upgrading the textile industry, there is still a lot of room for development. In addition, we must continue to work hard in the development of international markets.

        Total profit increased by 23.11% year-on-year

        In line with the development requirements, the overall operation of the industry is stable and good.

        Gu Ping, vice president of China Textile Machinery Association, analyzed the economic performance of the textile machinery industry in 2017. Benefiting from the continuous recovery of the global economy, the steady growth of the domestic macro economy, the overall stable operation of the textile industry and the recovery of demand in the international and domestic textile markets, the textile machinery industry has overcome the unfavorable factors such as large increase in factor costs, and the growth of main business income and profits. Larger, the volume of import and export trade showed double-digit growth. After the slight decline in the export value of textile machinery products in 2015 and 2016, the export value reached a record high in 2017.

        In 2017, the textile machinery industry achieved a main business income of 114.927 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.64%, an increase of 9.13 percentage points over the same period of the previous year; total assets of 106.798 billion yuan, an increase of 10.48%, an increase of 8.68 percentage points over the same period of the previous year; The total profit realized was 8.363 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.11%; the fixed assets investment of the textile machinery industry was 26.403 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 11.76%. According to customs statistics, the total import and export volume of China's textile machinery in 2017 was US$6.965 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25.47%. Among them: the export of textile machinery was 3.439 billion US dollars, an increase of 15.41%; the import was 3.526 billion US dollars, an increase of 37.13%.

        The industrial structure adjustment and transformation and upgrading of the textile industry put forward higher requirements for the equipment manufacturing industry. In 2017, the textile machinery industry conformed to the requirements of the textile industry, the industrial structure adjustment was deeper, the technology continued to improve and innovate, and the enterprise paid more attention to equipment with high efficiency, good reliability and good system controllability. The industry as a whole is operating steadily. In 2017, the key enterprise data tracked by the Textile Machinery Association showed that the key enterprises completed the main business income of 40.195 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.51%, accounting for 34.97% of the whole industry; the operating profit was 5.799 billion yuan, an increase of 13.61%. Among them, the loss of loss-making enterprises was 39 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 35.92%; the loss side was 13.64%.

        Looking forward to the situation in 2018, Gu Ping believes that the domestic market of textile machinery, the demand for equipment renewal and upgrading will be further released. In the international market, with the accelerated industrial transfer of the textile industry and the steady advancement of China's Belt and Road strategy, China's textile machinery products The space for export will be further opened and the textile machinery industry will still be expected to achieve smooth operation.

        According to the feedback from the China Textile Association's 31st Business Operator Survey, 64.3% of the respondents believe that the fourth quarter of 2017 is in good condition. 56.3% of the enterprises indicated that the number of orders in the fourth quarter increased compared with the previous period, of which 46.7% of the enterprises indicated that the orders of foreign orders increased during the current period. 78.6% of the enterprises indicated that the production output in the fourth quarter increased compared with the previous period; 78.6% of the enterprises believed that the average sales price of the current products was basically the same as the previous period; 84.6% of the enterprise equipment utilization rate reached 80% or more. The rising production costs are still an important issue for business operations. In general, enterprises are optimistic about the operation of the textile machinery industry.
