Strengthen Confidence And Tide Over Difficulties

In July 10, 2008, the China Sewing Machinery Association's industrial economic situation briefing was held in Beijing.

Major media such as "finance and economics", "economic report twenty-first Century", "China Financial Daily", "economic reference daily", "China Industrial daily", "China Enterprise News", "China clothing news", "seeking truth and well off" and other major domestic media attended the meeting.

He Ye, executive vice president of China Sewing Machinery Association, introduced and analyzed the current situation and development prospects of the industry.

In response to the current hot topics and focal issues of concern, journalists attending the conference have asked questions, and the chairman of the association, Tian min Yu, has answered them one by one.

This is the first time that the China Sewing Machinery Association has held a briefing on the industrial economic situation.

He Ye, executive vice president, told reporters at the conference that since the second half of 2007, China's sewing machinery industry has experienced eight years of rapid development, and the development of the industry has begun to slow down.

This year, the downward trend of the industry economy is more obvious, and the export volume has negative growth for the first time in seven years.

Especially in the 5 and June, the sales volume of enterprises decreased significantly compared with the same period last year, and the profit fell more sharply, and nearly 1/3 enterprises suffered losses.

At present, enterprises are generally faced with problems such as shortage of funds, underemployment, overstock of products and sluggish market.

Coupled with the recent emergence of some leading enterprises in the industry, a number of problems have also occurred, which has also aroused concern and concern from various sectors of the society in the development of the industry.

This is why the China Sewing Machinery Association convened the briefing on the economic situation of the industry.

　　何烨分析指出，当前缝制机械行业不景气是多重因素叠加共同作用的结果：由美国次贷危机引起的世界经济衰退，导致消费下降、需求萎缩；人民币对美元汇率持续上升、原材料价格不断飞涨、出口退税下调4个百分点、人工成本上升等因素，加剧了企业成本激增；我国为控制投资过热、通货膨胀而采取的从紧的货币政策及宏观调控措施，使企业赖以高速发展的低成本优势受到严峻挑战；国内服装产业调整加剧，大批中小服装企业的关闭直接导致国产缝制机械市场的急剧萎缩；持续多年快速发展的行业对自身提出了周期性调整的要求，盲目扩张、结构失衡、核心竞争力不强等深层次矛盾需要行业把增长速度放下来，调整结构，切实转变低成本、粗放型的增长方式；由于行业相对年轻，基础相对薄弱，企业和企业家都还不够成熟，对行业发展的信心有待增强。

She said that from the perspective of industry supply, China is the largest and most important sewing machinery producer in the world. The comprehensive strength of China's sewing machinery industry in terms of manufacturing foundation, matching advantages, product price performance ratio, market development capability and labor quality will not be replaced in the next ten years to a very long time.

From the perspective of demand, the rapid growth of the global population and the upgrading of consumption mean that the development of downstream industries such as textile, clothing, clothing and so on is huge, which means that the potential of sewing machine market is huge.

Vietnam, India, Brazil, Mexico, Pakistan and other world garment production countries are in the ascendant of garment industry. The sewing equipment needed by these countries is mainly from China.

Therefore, the China Sewing Machinery Association has full confidence in the development prospects of the industry, and the current low tide and difficulties in the sewing machinery industry are temporary.

He Ye expressed the hope that entrepreneurs will remain sober, rational and sober minded, correctly understand the situation of enterprises and take the current adjustment as a good time to practice hard work and build up a healthy body, strengthen confidence and tide over difficulties.

She said that in the face of the current grim situation, China Sewing Machinery Association will actively carry out the correct analysis and guidance, establish a firm confidence in the whole industry, let all sectors of society correctly understand and understand the industry, create favorable public opinion environment for the development of the industry.

In response to a reporter's question, Nagata Mihiro, director of the association, pointed out that over the years, China has developed into the largest sewing machine manufacturing base in the world, and is also the largest sewing machine market in the world.

For the current Chinese sewing machinery industry, the biggest crisis hindering its development is not that the production costs of enterprises are greatly increased and profits decline because of various unfavorable factors, but the low cost advantages of the whole industry are weakened, but it is difficult for enterprises to run funds and stop development.

He appealed that sewing machinery as a mechanical and electrical integration product with high technology content needs the correct recognition and recognition of the whole society, giving greater attention and support to the development of the industry.

At the same time, Da Mihiro pointed out that there is still a certain gap between China's sewing machinery industry and the international advanced level in terms of basic application technology, manufacturing process and quality management.

We should make use of this opportunity to pform the extensive development mode and irrational economic structure to solve some deep-seated contradictions and problems that the industry has not taken into account in the earlier period of rapid development.

Enterprises should strengthen strategic management, take technological innovation as a fundamental measure to break through the bottleneck of enterprises, improve their internal strength and make continuous progress.

The association will also endeavor to guide enterprises to objectively, scientifically and fully understand the favorable conditions and positive factors for the development of the industry, strengthen confidence, unite and tide over difficulties, push forward the development of the industry, and usher in a brand new development cycle in the near future.
