In the first half of 2013, with the steady progress of structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, the textile economy was running smoothly on the whole, and the main operating indicators basically achieved stable growth. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics and the customs, from January to June, textile enterprises above Designated Size achieved a total of 29.73 billion yuan of main business income, a year-on-year increase of 13.3%, 3.6 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year; The total profit was 135.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.6%, 18.5 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year. From January to June, China exported 130.94 billion US dollars of textiles and clothing, an increase of 11.9% over the same period of last year, and the growth rate rose by 9.7 percentage points over the same period of last year; The total investment in fixed assets of projects with more than 5 million yuan in the whole industry reached 391.59 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%, and the growth rate slightly dropped by 0.2 percentage points compared with the same period of last year.
In the first half of the year, the quality of economic operation of the textile industry was steadily improved, and the effect of industrial structure adjustment continued to show. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, from January to June, the sales profit margin of textile enterprises above designated size was 4.6%, 0.1 percentage point higher than that of the same period last year; The turnover rate of finished products was 19.8 times, up 8.2% year on year; The turnover rate of total assets was 1.6 times, up 2.9% year on year; The proportion of three fees was 6.1%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.1%. From January to June, the main business income and total profit of Enterprises above designated size increased by 18.8% and 23.4% respectively, significantly higher than the average level of the industry; Among all regions, the contribution of central and western regions to the industry's economic growth continued to improve. From January to June, the main business income of Enterprises above designated size increased by 16% year-on-year, 3.6 percentage points higher than that of the eastern region, accounting for 19.9% of the country, 0.4 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year.
In the first half of the year, the economic operation of the textile industry encountered many adverse effects of external factors. The international market is still in the doldrums as a whole. From January to may, the import volume of textiles and clothing of EU and Japan (in US dollars) decreased by 5% and 3.2% respectively on a year-on-year basis. The rebound of export growth of the industry is largely related to the low base in the same period of last year. Domestic and foreign cotton prices still maintain a price difference of more than 4500 yuan / ton, the quality of national reserve cotton is low, which can not meet the production needs of enterprises, and the production and operation of cotton spinning enterprises are still facing greater pressure. The difficulties of small and micro enterprises are still prominent. According to the survey, the growth rate of economic indicators of garment enterprises below the scale is significantly lower than that of Enterprises above the scale, and the limited production and shutdown of small cotton textile enterprises are increasing due to the impact of cotton price difference. Affected by various external pressure factors, since the second quarter, the growth rate of production and marketing and benefit indicators of the textile industry has gradually slowed down compared with the first quarter.
In the second half of the year, the external situation of the textile industry is still complex. On the one hand, there are still favorable factors to support the development of the industry, and the fundamentals of the domestic demand market are still good, with the conditions to continue to achieve steady growth; The industrial structure adjustment, transformation and upgrading will continue to promote, which will strengthen the internal driving force of industrial development. On the other hand, the impact of excessive price difference between domestic and foreign cotton on the industry is still very prominent, the international market still has volatility risk, the rising labor cost has yet to be resolved, and various external pressures faced by the industry can not be ignored. It is estimated that in the whole year, the production and marketing, efficiency, investment and other major operating indicators of textile enterprises above Designated Size will still maintain a stable growth. However, with the increase of the statistical base in the same period of last year, the growth rate in the second half of the year may be reversed.
