Since this year, due to factors such as weak market demand, Hebei spin The overall growth rate of the industry slowed slightly in the first three quarters, but the overall economic operation maintained steady development.

Production growth slowed down. From January to September, 1027 textile enterprises above designated size in Hebei Province completed a total industrial output value of 150.17 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.62%, and the growth rate slowed down by 2.64% compared with the first half of the year. Among the major categories of products, the output of chemical fiber reached 387200 tons, with a growth rate of 45.40%. The growth rate of other categories of products generally declined. The output of yarn and cloth reached 1.444 million tons and 4.477 billion meters respectively, up 10.93% and 4.57% year on year, and the growth rate decreased 9.43 and 10 percentage points year on year respectively.

Investment growth is declining. From January to September, Hebei textile industry actually completed a fixed asset investment of 38.921 billion yuan, up 3.45% year on year, and the growth rate slowed down further compared with the first half of the year. There were 637 construction projects, 406 new projects and 345 completed projects, down 16.51%, 20.70% and 13.97% respectively from the same period last year, indicating that textile enterprises lack confidence in investment.

The benefits have improved. From January to September, Hebei textile industry achieved a main business income of 146.454 billion yuan, up 12.51% year on year, down 2.79% from the first half of the year; The added value was 37.56 billion yuan, up 13.49% year on year; The profit was 8.286 billion yuan, up 25.18% year on year, 5.38% higher than that in the first half of the year; The export delivery value was 10.32 billion yuan, up 10.54% year on year; 104 loss making enterprises, up 6.12% year on year, 5 less than the first half of the year; The total loss of loss making enterprises was 536 million yuan, down 8.38% year on year.

With the rising cost of domestic production factors, especially labor costs, the pressure of international competition is increasing, and the decline of export competitiveness has become an indisputable fact. The increasingly severe situation of energy conservation and environmental protection in the country also restricts the development of Hebei textile industry to a certain extent. According to the Notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China on the Target Task of Eliminating Backward Production Capacity in 19 Industrial Industries in 2013, the plan of eliminating backward production capacity in Hebei textile industry in 2013 involves 9 enterprises, of which 7 wool textile enterprises need to eliminate a total of 44.4 million meters of production capacity; One printing and dyeing enterprise needs to eliminate 8.25 million meters of production capacity; A chemical fiber enterprise needs to eliminate 20000 tons of production capacity. The increasing pressure on energy conservation and environmental protection has made textile enterprises face such problems as arduous task of upgrading standards, increased investment, and tight funding. In the printing and dyeing industry, access, land use and financing are restricted in many ways, and production capacity is shrinking.

Since this year, the cotton price at home and abroad has maintained a large gap. The restriction of raw materials and the depression of the consumer market have squeezed enterprises. Many business operators said that the country should implement the cotton direct subsidy policy as soon as possible, so that the domestic cotton price can be in line with international standards, eliminate the huge price difference caused by dual track manufacturing, and establish a more stable cotton market order.

In addition, the textile industry's cotton procurement and processing policy of high tax collection and low tax deduction, which has been implemented for 20 years, has also been criticized by enterprises. At present, the market economic environment and industry situation at home and abroad have undergone tremendous changes compared with 20 years ago. It is obviously unfair for cotton textile enterprises to bear an additional 4% VAT under the circumstances of fierce market competition and declining benefits. Enterprises urgently need to change this inappropriate policy.
