Industrial Textiles Focus Area 2015

Medical and sanitary textiles

Medical and sanitary textiles are one of the largest industries in the industry. With the increase of income levels and changes in consumer attitudes, the potential market space for the industry will continue to be released, and due to its close relationship with life and health, its demand is stronger. rigidity.

The production capacity of medical dressings, surgical holes and disposable hygiene products in China is very large. It is the world's major producer and exporter. From January to November 2015, China exported 3.91 billion U.S. dollars of medical and sanitary textiles, an increase of 1.35% year-on-year, of which the export value of sanitary napkins and baby diapers was 1.43 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 3.89%; the export of non-woven fabric medical protective clothing was 990 million U.S. dollars. , an increase of 4.27%, while gauze, bandages and other medical dressings exported 770 million US dollars, a decrease of 6.28%.

Due to the domestic ** procurement system, China's medical auxiliary materials and medical protective clothing manufacturers will take the overseas market as the main direction of development. Pengchang Town, Xiantao City, Hubei Province is an important medical textile industrial cluster in China. In 2015, its main business income was 13.1 billion yuan.

Geotextiles

Geotextiles are mainly used in various infrastructure projects and environmental projects. In the first half of 2015, a large number of projects were in the planning and design stage and there were few start-up projects, so the growth of the geotechnical industry faced some challenges. In the second half of the year, as a large number of railway and water conservancy projects started, the number of orders in the industry increased substantially, and production and operations returned to normal and increased. Dezhou City, Shandong Province Lingcheng District is China's main production base for geotextiles. The cluster's main business income in 2015 exceeded 10 billion yuan, and the output of various geotechnical materials was 820,000 tons.

Filtration and Separation Textiles

In 2015, due to the large-scale continuous haze weather, the whole society pays great attention to the quality of the atmospheric environment, and the country continues to strengthen the atmospheric environmental management efforts, providing good opportunities for the development of the air filtration industry. At the same time, with the development of high-performance fibers and the improvement of filter bag manufacturing technology, the filtering effect of bag-type dust-removal technology has reached near-zero emissions, and its average service life has also reached about 4 years. A comprehensive breakthrough has also been made in the recycling of waste filter bags. The advantages of bag dust removal technology are even more pronounced.

In July 2015, the “Emission Standard for Air Pollutants in the Cement Industry” was implemented. The cement industry invested a lot of funds in the transformation of environmental protection equipment, and the market for metallurgy and electric power continued to grow. The growth of the market has led to the rapid development of the industry. Yucheng County, Jiangsu Province, Yucheng Street is a high-temperature filter material industry base. In 2015, the cluster produced nearly 200 million square meters of filter material, and its main business revenue increased by 13.64%. According to the statistics of the member companies in some filtering fields, the total revenue and total profit of main operations in 2015 increased by 15.67% and 32.33%, respectively, and the average profit rate was 7.4%.

Vehicle textiles

In 2015, China’s auto production and sales completed 24,503,300 and 24,497,600 vehicles respectively, a record high, up 3.3% and 4.7% respectively over the previous year, showing a steady growth overall, while the growth rate of production and sales dropped by 4 and 2.2 percentage points respectively over the previous year. . Due to the slowdown in the growth of the automotive market, it has brought pressure on the development of the transport textiles sector.

In the long run, China's traditional automotive industry will continue to grow at a moderate to low speed. Lightweight and new energy sources will be an important development trend for the automobile industry in the future. Textile composite materials have the advantages of light weight, high strength, low cost, etc. The proportion of applications in automobiles is gradually increasing, and the textile materials consumed by a single car will increase. In the future, transport textiles will also have much room for growth.
