The Cotton Textile Trade Situation Is Still Serious In 2012.

< p > < /p >.

< p > customs data show that in the first three quarters of 2012, the export volume of our cotton a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > textile "/a" goods was 18 billion 640 million US dollars, down 6% compared with the same period last year, while the import volume increased by 24.9% over the same period last year, reaching 5 billion 340 million US dollars, and maintained a relatively fast growth rate, of which cotton yarn imports amounted to 3 billion 570 million US dollars, up 46% over the same period last year, accounting for 67% of the total imports.

Since 2012, the import and export market of China's cotton textile industry has shown a strong demand for the import of cotton and cotton yarn in the upper reaches, and a weak trend in the export of downstream cotton textiles.

< p > China Cotton Textile Industry Association believes that an important reason for such a result is the long term upside down of cotton prices at home and abroad. It is estimated that the resistance of cotton textile and downstream cotton products will still be greater in the future.

< p > Ouyang, assistant director of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association, pointed out that the price trend of cotton textiles in the past three quarters was affected by the overall downward trend of raw material prices at home and abroad. The prices of cotton and cotton fabrics were negative growth, especially in the case of poor export environment. Compared with the previous year, the export volume of cotton textiles in China decreased significantly.

In terms of imports, the import volume of cotton yarn and cotton fabrics has increased to varying degrees compared with the same period last year under the strong support of import volume.

< p > statistics show that 1-10 months of this year, China has imported 4 million 301 thousand and 600 tons of cotton, an increase of 95.8% over the same period last year.

China cotton textile industry association analysis pointed out that the import cotton has two peaks this year, the first wave peak is in 2-3 months, at this time the domestic storage is coming to an end, the domestic cotton basically enters the storage, and the domestic and foreign cotton price difference continues to exceed 3000 yuan / ton, the enterprise has imported the international low price cotton through the quota to guarantee the raw material supply; the second wave peak stage is 5-7 months.

At present, the difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices is close to 6000 yuan / ton, and the huge price difference has led to unprecedented cotton imports.

2011/2012 cotton year, China's total imports of cotton has reached 5 million 705 thousand tons, an increase of 102% over the same period.

< p > the increase in imports caused by "upside down" of cotton is also highlighted in the cotton yarn market.

In the first three quarters, imports of cotton yarn increased rapidly and imports increased month by month.

Statistics show that China has imported 1 million 88 thousand tons of cotton yarn this year, an increase of 74% over the same period last year.

Analysts pointed out that the fundamental reason for the large number of foreign yarn entering the domestic market is still the poor cotton price inside and outside.

Imported cotton yarns are not subject to quotas. When the international cotton price is much lower than that in China, foreign cotton yarns have an absolute advantage in price. In order to reduce production costs and enhance product market competitiveness, the demand for imported cotton yarn is increasing.

< p > < strong > the trade situation is still grim. < /strong > /p >

In the first three quarters of 2012, the growth of China's cotton yarn export increased from negative to positive. < p >

Statistics show that in 1-9 months, China's total export of cotton yarn 325 thousand tons, an increase of 3% over the same period last year, reversing the situation of cotton yarn exports accumulated negative year-on-year growth before September.

The analysis shows that this is mainly due to the export reversal of pure cotton combed yarn and blended yarn, which has led to the growth of the total export volume.

P, as in previous years, the export of cotton fabrics is the main force of the export of cotton textiles in China.

In the 1-9 month of this year, China's total exports of cotton fabrics were 5 billion 780 million meters, up 4% over the same period last year, and the number of exports remained stable.

However, since China's export situation began to decline in 2011, the price has been weakening as a whole, and the export volume of cotton fabrics has been narrowing gradually in 2012.

< /p >

< p > in addition, in the first three quarters, the export volume of China's cotton bedding products, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > clothing < /a > also decreased to varying degrees, down by 8.8% and 5% respectively.

< /p >

< p > analysts said that the export of domestic cotton textile industry has not yet been good, and the international market demand is still unclear. In the coming period, the export resistance of China's cotton textiles and downstream cotton products is still relatively large.
