Chinese Entrepreneurs Should Think Deeply About Warp Knitting Industry

"This year, warp knitting equipment has gone crazy, and manufacturers' orders have been put to 2012."

A few days ago, when reporters participated in the second general meeting of the China Knitting Industry Association warp knitting Association, they were deeply touched by the fire in the warp knitting market.

This year's textile industry is not only limited to warp knitting, but also the hottest yarn of cotton prices and other chemical fiber materials. It will be the most profound memory of 2010.

The difference is that although warp knitting also gives people the impression of "explosive and extraordinary development", but in the "dialogue - deep thinking on the rapid development of China's warp knitting industry" forum, after the diagnosis of experts from all walks of life, this kind of backfire is a reasonable market demand.

Look at warp knitting prosperity from upstream

The most direct reflection of the warp knitting market is

Yang Zengxing, general manager of Karl Mayer (China) Co., has calculated an account to make the rapid growth of warp knitting equipment clear at this time.

He said that in normal years, the output of Carle Meyer was between 1000~1200 stations, the output of Changde textile machinery was 300~400, the output of riba was around 150, and the total production of warp knitting machines in the whole year was no more than 3000 units.

In 2008, by the financial turmoil, the warp knitting industry has entered a low ebb, and the global output is no more than 1000 units.

In 2009, the spring festival began to pick up. During the Spring Festival, orders poured in, and Carle Meyer's output in Germany and China was about 1500.

In 2010, Carle Meyer's total output was about 2500 units, Changde.

The rapid growth of orders has made Changde spinning machinery feel the urgent need to expand its capacity.

Changde Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. party secretary Xiang Yang said, as Yang Zengxing calculated, Changde spinning machine output reached more than 600 units nearly 700 units, especially in the second half of the year to produce 70 units, the working rhythm is quite tense.

At present, the Changde textile machinery warp knitting machine has booked 1000 units, and the order is scheduled for 2012.

Although this is exulting for enterprises, Xiang Yang believes that high load production will bring some risks. Therefore, Changde textile machinery is ready to speed up its capacity building. Next year, it will strive to achieve the 900~1000 production scale and ensure the simultaneous improvement of product quality and quantity.

During the visit to Changde textile machinery, Xiang Yang pointed to the earth slope outside the workshop. "Next year, we will be levelled off here. We will build a new workshop here and build a new gate here."

Pointing out a new picture of the enterprise.

Changzhou Wujin five ocean Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. is a dark horse in the warp knitting machinery industry. It is also a beneficiary of the rapid development of our warp knitting industry, and was awarded the "China famous trademark" in 2009.

According to Wang Minqi, chairman of the board, the company has produced more than 100 warp knitting machines in the latest stage, and the total production volume is expected to reach over 1000 units in the whole year.

The prosperity of the warp knitting industry not only led to the prosperity of the equipment manufacturing industry, but also benefited the raw material production enterprises.

As a raw material supplier for warp knitting enterprises, Jiangsu Sheng Hong Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. will produce 18 million tons of filament yarn this year. The 500 thousand ton filament project will be put into operation at the end of 2011, and the 30 thousand ton PTT project is also in the process of brewing.

"In 2011 and 2012, our output will grow at a rate of 10%~20% to meet the needs of downstream enterprises."

Sheng Hong chemical fiber chief engineer Mei Feng said.

Market drivers for warp knitting

The prosperity of the warp knitting industry has caused many enterprises to be excited. Meanwhile, Chang Xu, a senior consultant in Changde textile machinery, said: "the market is so hot that people feel explosive and unexpected."

Like many entrepreneurs, he is concerned about the future of the market.

Judging from the overall situation, Gao Yong, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association, described the industry situation this year with "ups and downs and confusing". In his view, this year's entire textile industry has shown a fiery situation. He analyzed this kind of fire is caused by market demand.

In the first 10 months of the domestic market, the retail sales of consumer goods increased by more than 15%, while the retail sales of textile and clothing grew by more than 20%. In a few months or even more than 23%, the growth of per capita GDP promoted clothing consumption demand.

In addition, the export volume of textiles and clothing has reached US $149 billion 810 million in the first three quarters of this year, with a growth rate of over 23%.

Of course, there is a growth factor in Merchants' replenishment and panic growth.

Gao Yong said that the rapid growth of cotton and chemical fiber prices this year has stimulated CPI and has attracted speculation from idle capital.

"I see in many cotton spinning enterprises, cotton stocks are more than 3 months, and even the roadside is stacked with cotton."

Gao Yong said.

Is there any irrational factor in the growth of warp knitting? The answer of many experts and entrepreneurs is negative.

Gao Yong believes that the warp knitting industry began to pick up in the second half of 2009, and entered the accelerated period this year, showing the great potential of warp knitting industry.

The maturity of warp knitting technology and the expansion of application fields are all driving factors for growth.

This view has been unanimously recognized by people.

Yang Zengxing said: "warp knitting is widely used in the fields of civil and industrial applications. The efficiency and high productivity of warp knitting equipment make the warp knitted products occupy the market of the original woven and weft knitted products.

For example, the cloth used for mattresses has accounted for nearly 85% of the original woven products. Now the warp knitting products are gradually replaced by warp knitted products, and the market share of warp knitting has expanded from 10%~15% to 30%, which has led to the expansion of market demand.

"It can not be said that the rapid development of warp knitting is blind and there is a market for development."

This is the most widely heard sentence in the interview.

In addition, the stride forward of warp knitting also created a virtuous circle.

Yang Zengxing said, now the warp knitting industry has attracted the attention of local governments. The banking industry strongly supports, "for example, in Changle, Fujian, banks use mortgages to provide funds for enterprises, which has promoted the development of enterprises and made them dare to take orders."

There is no doubt that China has entered a period of all-around and high-speed growth. Then, the Chinese entrepreneurs and industry leaders are also thinking deeply about where to go next.
