As the economy rebounded, foreign orders for Guangdong textile enterprises increased significantly this year. According to a survey report released by the famous B2B media company global resources in early April, up to 64% of the surveyed Chinese suppliers indicated that their overseas orders had begun to show a rising trend.

It is generally believed that with the accelerated pace of economic recovery in the world, especially in Europe and the United States, the growth of consumption demand for textile products will be promoted, thus giving good benefits to the export of China's textile industry.

However, the Guangdong customs pointed out that although the increase in exports has brought confidence to the garment enterprises, worries about the expectation of RMB appreciation, the cost increase, the compression of profit margins, the upgrading of trade barriers and the difficulty of export will make the textile industry's future recovery still confusing.

It is reported that the average net profit margin of Chinese textile and garment enterprises is between 3% and 5%, and some enterprises have less than 3% profit.

It is estimated that when the cost and price of other production factors remain unchanged, the RMB appreciation will be 1 percentage points, and the profits of enterprises will also be reduced by 1%.

Because the bargaining power of Chinese textile and garment enterprises and foreign manufacturers is very weak, the possibility of raising prices is almost zero.

In addition, not only the upgrading of trade barriers has increased the difficulty of enterprises' export, but also the largest increase in textile industry cost since the end of 2009, and the cost of labor and shipping expenses of some enterprises have increased by about 3%.
