The Fifth Textile And Clothing Exhibition Helps Small And Medium Sized Enterprises Seize Business Opportunities

After a dormant winter, China's foreign trade in textiles and clothing also ushered in spring. The sudden increase of orders at the 20th China International Trade Fair, and the foreign purchasers who came into sight from time to time at the Spring Joint Exhibition of Clothing, Fabrics and Yarns of China Textile Industry Association... all seemed to indicate the revival of foreign trade opportunities. Some enterprises with keen tentacles took the lead in taking advantage of the opportunity of the financial crisis shuffle to re layout the domestic and foreign markets. The 5th China Textile and Clothing Trade Exhibition (Paris), which will be held from September 13 to 16 this year, has naturally become a new journey of hope.

Foreign trade market returns to a new stage

At the beginning of this year, many export-oriented enterprises were faced with "sweet troubles": too many orders, shortage of workers, and had to work overtime to catch up with tasks. The production enterprises struggling in the front line also clearly feel that the yarn is selling well this year. Since the beginning of the year, the price of cotton yarn has risen sharply, but the supply still falls short of demand. Of course, the emergence of this situation is closely related to the shortage of cotton and the rise of cotton prices, but the export growth of downstream garment enterprises has also played a certain role in supporting it. The customs data of the first quarter of this year also confirmed this view: from January to March, textile and clothing exports rose 15.22% year on year, and textile and clothing exports grew 26.54% and 9.04% respectively. Although the export in March declined compared with the previous two months, the pace of growth has been unstoppable. It is expected that China's textile and clothing exports will recover by 5% - 10% this year.

Perhaps, as some industry experts said, the export growth in the first quarter was due to foreign investors replenishing inventories, but it cannot be denied that the global economic recovery is no longer just a clue. According to the data released by the French Bureau of Statistics (INSEE), the comprehensive economic climate index, including French manufacturing, service, wholesale and retail, reached 91 points in March, maintaining an improvement trend for 10 consecutive months. At the same time, the European Commission announced that the consumer confidence index in the euro area also picked up slightly in March.

Europe, as one of China's three major trade markets, has always been a place for export enterprises to compete. Although the financial crisis has severely damaged the European economy, it has not shaken its important position in China's foreign trade pattern. According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Commerce, in 2009, the total amount of textiles and raw materials imported from China by the 27 EU countries reached US $42.832 billion despite a year-on-year decline of 6.2%. China has become the largest source country of textiles and raw materials imported from the 27 EU countries. The amount of textiles and raw materials imported from China accounted for 41.1% of the total amount of imports of EU goods. Since 2002, the textile and clothing import volume of the 27 EU countries has been growing until 2008, when the total import volume was 85 billion euros.

Although the cake of the European market is attractive, it is not easy for a new small and medium-sized enterprise to open its door. According to senior people, for many small and medium-sized buyers in Europe, they need to have a certain degree of understanding of suppliers before they can place orders on the spot. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a mature exhibition as a platform for entry. China Textile and Clothing Trade Exhibition (Paris) provides such a shortcut.
