Export Problems Of China's Textile Fabrics

Because of the unstable demand in the international market, our country Spin Fabric exports have dropped sharply, and Fabric Companies' profits have declined. In order to reverse the gloomy situation, textile enterprises began to focus on brand research and development, develop integrated accessories, and get out of the road of sustainable development.

Over the past few years, China's textile exports have dropped sharply. Insiders say that this is mainly due to the unstable demand in the international market, and the slowdown in international market demand has restricted the export volume of China's textile fabrics. At the same time, the import of chemical fiber raw materials has declined, and the profit of chemical fiber industry has achieved a slight increase.
