Textile Industry Is Neither A Sunset Industry Nor A Backward Industry.

Once upon a time, there was such a view that the textile industry was a sunset industry and a backward industry, far less than the supporting role of automobile electronics and other industries to the national economy. In some places, it was also proposed to eliminate some textile enterprises within a certain period of time. The banks in the country were responsible for the majority of the people's Congress and were not optimistic about the textile industry. They believed that the textile industry was a high-risk industry and did not dare to lend to textile enterprises.

In fact, the textile industry has made or is still making important contributions to the GDP of our country.

Not to mention the leading position of the textile industry in the whole country's industry at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China.

Even now, under the environment of industrial development in China, the development of the textile industry is still better than that of steel and cement industries.

Statistics Bureau data show that in 1~4 months, the total profit of 33 industries in 41 industrial sectors of the whole country has increased compared with the same period in 2015, of which the textile industry grew by 6.8%, which is better than the national average of 6.5%.

Actually, about

Whether the sunset industry has been debated for a long time.

So, what is the sunset industry? Is the traditional industry necessarily a sunset industry? At present, the definition of the public is that the so-called sunset industry refers to the image of the traditional industrial sector which tends to decline.

The sunset industry is related to the product life cycle. Some products are mature technology, continuous innovation tends to dry up, the market is saturated, and the products tend to be homogeneous.

Fierce and low profits.

According to this definition, it seems that some characteristics of the textile industry are consistent with the sunset industry.

More than a decade ago, when the renminbi was at its initial stage of appreciation, the result of the economic circle, including the calculation of the enterprise itself, was that if the RMB appreciated by 5%, the whole industry would lose money, and the textile industry would be faced with the risk of bankruptcy.

But our appreciation of the renminbi has already exceeded that ratio, and we have not failed.

When we first joined the WTO, many enterprises said that according to the WTO rules, the textile industry would be faced with the risk of "downfall". But the result is that we have not failed, but on the contrary, we have made better progress.

As we all know, sunrise industry is relative to the sunset industry.

In fact, when many Chaoyang enterprises rose, they entered their countdown to the sunset industry.

Whether an industry is a sunrise industry or a sunset is not determined by the time in which the industry appears, nor is it determined by some experts, nor by the level of industry.

It is determined by the market. As long as there is a market and a sustainable market, it is a sunrise industry.

In this sense, traditional industries are not the same as sunset industries. For example, the film industry is late than the development of the textile industry, but with the popularity of digital cameras, fewer and fewer people are using film, and the film industry is disappearing, so it should be said to be a sunset industry.

For example, a few years ago, people were called

Sunrise industry's polycrystalline silicon industry has suddenly become a declining industry.

However, the development of textile in the world has continued for several hundred years. Despite the ups and downs of the development of China's textile industry, no matter how bad the living environment is, no matter how bad the environment is, only a little sunshine can bring vitality and glory.

Therefore, we can confidently say that the textile industry is neither a sunset industry nor a backward industry.

The industry is merging with high-tech and many other fields.
