Since 2012, due to the weakening of international market demand, the slowdown of domestic market growth, and the high price difference between domestic and foreign cotton, the operation of China's textile industry has shown a downward trend, the growth rate of production has decreased significantly, the number of exports has decreased, and the benefits of enterprises have emerged. The decline, the front end of the industrial chain (cotton spinning, chemical fiber) losses, the competitiveness of Chinese textile companies has weakened. As a clothing industry supporting the clothing industry, the impact of the market downturn is also generally felt.

What is gratifying is that some textile manufacturers have made timely adjustments in the face of severe market conditions, and increased the development of new fabrics, which in turn has driven the demand for some clothing products, especially some new unconventional clothing. For example, in the past two years, the market demand for new fabric brushed products has increased rapidly, which has driven the rapid growth of demand for hair products in the clothing industry.

From the first half of 2013, the textile industry is slowly picking up. The clothing companies are beginning to feel the warmth of the market.
