Problems in my country's non-woven fabric industry

In recent years, my country's non-woven fabric industry has continued to develop rapidly, and emerging fields such as medical textiles, flame retardant, protective, special composite materials and other textiles have also shown a novel development trend. Although the development prospects of non-woven fabrics are very optimistic, due to the low level of new production capacity and the lack of diversification of products, some types of products even have oversupply, the market expansion is relatively slow, and the price of raw materials is high, and the price of finished products has fallen. Vicious competition among enterprises has affected the healthy and orderly development of the industry. Therefore, the problems existing in the non-woven fabric industry should not be underestimated.


Problem 1: The industrial layout is too concentrated


my country's industrial textiles and non-woven fabrics have developed rapidly and are relatively concentrated. The coastal provinces and cities such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Hebei, and Shanghai accounted for more than 70%, the Central Plains accounted for more than 20%, and the western region was very few. In future work, more attention should be paid to the development of inland areas. Some companies have already started to take this step and have invested in construction in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu and other provinces, but the progress is very slow.


Problem 2: Obviously insufficient special materials


my country's textile raw materials are growing rapidly in both production and demand. However, as a special raw material for industrial textiles, it is still insufficient. Not only is the high-tech fiber basically dependent on imports, but also the conventional special varieties are also insufficient. In other words, there is a lack of special raw materials for industrial textiles. We have called for this matter on different occasions, of course, high-tech fiber called more. Here again, let everyone, especially raw material manufacturers, understand more about the raw material requirements of industrial textiles, develop special raw materials, and promote the development of industrial textiles in our country.


Problem 3: Low-price competition disrupts the market


In order to seize the market, some manufacturers and equipment manufacturers have adopted improper price reduction methods, resulting in the prices of some composite products even lower than those of a single raw material. These are obviously unreasonable. We encourage fair competition and carry out price competition within a reasonable range, which is to reduce losses and costs as much as possible under the premise of ensuring quality to obtain a price advantage. Only in this way can the competition principle of survival of the fittest be fully embodied.


Question 4: Talent engineering is about the future


The current development of industrial textiles and non-woven fabrics in China has shown a serious problem of lack of talents, not only lack of professional technology and management talents, but also lack of professional technicians and technicians. Training professional talents will become one of the important factors affecting the future development of the textile industry.


Question 5: Innovative products for the market


With economic development, the demand for industrial textiles will continue to be renovated. The first is the continuous development of raw materials. Now our country has some high-performance raw materials, but they are far from enough. There are still higher requirements, such as PLA, PPS, PBO, PPTA, etc. Some are to meet the needs of environmental protection, some are the needs of product performance, and some are green economy , The need for circular economy. Therefore, new breakthroughs must be made in raw materials. The second is the innovation of product performance functions. Products cannot be made consistently for decades, and new products must be developed continuously. Such as new packaging products, hoisting products, covering products, filtering products, etc. To develop and produce new products according to market demand. Then there is technological innovation. Only new technologies can create new products. We must keep up with the international development in terms of production equipment and production technology, so that our technical level gradually reaches the international advanced level.


Question 6: Energy saving and consumption reduction have a long way to go


Really play the actual effect of the scientific development concept of high technology content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution, and full use of human resources. At present, most textiles need to have a high technical content, and a single process may be difficult to achieve. It is necessary to take the route of composite processes and multiple materials. At the same time, reducing energy consumption is also a big issue. my country’s energy consumption is relatively large. The energy consumption per unit of GDP is 2.5 times that of the United States, 6 times that of Germany, and 9 times that of Japan. This shows that the energy consumption is huge. Of course, this has a lot to do with the economic structure of different countries, but my country’s energy consumption per unit product is also much higher than that of developed countries, about 40-60% higher, and the energy consumption of domestic textile equipment is 20% higher than that of advanced foreign equipment. ～30%, so how to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction through technological and technological innovation has a long way to go.
