Where Is The Way For European Textile Industry To Return?

< p > in a PROMOD brand store in Beijing, the reporter found that some consumers are concerned not only about the fabric composition on the label, but also for the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > clothing > /a > producing area.

"I think the quality of the products made in Spain and Morocco should be better. Now PROMOD's < a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "target=" _blank "> clothes" /a "is also very expensive, and the price of a skirt is nearly thousand yuan, so I prefer it to be produced in Europe.

One consumer said so.

Reporters also found that in addition to Vietnam, Kampuchea, Indonesia, Spain, Turkey, Morocco, Bulgaria and other European countries, the names of European countries also appear on many labels on the origin of clothing.

Can we guess that some French brands have moved from Asia to EU member countries closer to France because of the consideration of production cost ratio? The manufacturing industry in Europe has returned to climate. < /p >

< p > according to the data released by Eurotex, China is the largest a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" in the 27 EU countries in 2011, and the source of textile imports is /a.

According to the French Fashion Association, the share of Chinese textiles in the French market increased from 10% in 2000 to 22% in 2005 and 34.1% in 2011.

< /p >

< p > but this situation changed in 2012. In the first 10 months of 2012, the share of Chinese textiles in the French market dropped to 33.9%.

In the year, clothing consumption in France dropped by 2.1%, while textile imports from China decreased by 2.1%.

< /p >

Below P, China's exports to major markets such as Germany, Italy and Spain are all above 20%.

Last year, China's textile and apparel exports to the EU totaled 47 billion 90 million US dollars, down 11.9%, the first two digit decline in recent years, and the export situation was more severe than the 2008~2009 financial crisis.

< /p >

The decline of China's export to European textile and clothing trade is closely related to the continuous weakening of the European sovereign debt crisis and the weakening of the economy. It is also closely related to the rising cost of China's own p.

Chen Yanyan, general manager of the clothing department of Jiangsu Changshou City haute clothing Limited company, said that P is now trading at cost price, otherwise it will lose more orders.

Hangzhou Chi Shang Trading Co., Ltd. also suffers from the pfer of orders from European customers due to rising costs.

Xu Jing, a sales manager of the company, said: "although some customers have accepted the moderate price increase, our advantage is losing gradually. The big situation is depressed, resulting in a decrease in the original orders, and now we are always worried about the pfer of orders."

< /p >

< p > there is no doubt that China is the largest exporter of textile and garment products in the world and has its own unique advantages. Other regions will not be able to replace China's position in textile export in a short time.

But it is undeniable that the decline of "made in China" in the European market has not only created the opportunity for Asia's other low-cost labor countries, but also made Europe see the possibility of textile industry returning.

< p > < strong > Europe needs to solve employment < /strong > /p >

In recent years, the employment problem in Europe has become increasingly prominent. < p >

According to a survey published by KPMG, a business service firm, the labor market situation in the United Kingdom deteriorated significantly in November last year, and the number of full-time and temporary jobs dropped by at least 11 years in November.

According to official data, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in Britain rose to the highest level in nearly 16 years in October. Because of the pressure on the labour market due to the credit crunch and economic slowdown, the proportion of people applying for unemployment benefits has risen to 3%.

< /p >

< p > the Italy Federation of industry also released a report that the labor market in Italy deteriorated sharply at the end of 2012, and it reduced nearly 200 thousand jobs only at the end of last year's 2 months.

< /p >

The labour market in Germany also suffered a serious blow. In January, the number of jobless jumped by 398 thousand to 4 million 623 thousand people in P.

The average unemployment rate of all Germany reached 11.1%, an increase of 0.7% over the same period last year.

The German government expects unemployment to increase in February.

< /p >

European experts are worried about P.

The rising unemployment rate has not only led to protests among European citizens, but also led to consumption restraint.

Howard Arthur, chief UK and eurozone economist at Global Insight, a London research firm, said that the increase in unemployment will further affect the already depressed consumer market, and that people will curb consumption because they are afraid of losing their jobs.

< /p >

< p > Europe needs to create more job opportunities, and the return of textile industry shows them the appropriate way to alleviate unemployment.

< /p >

< p > < strong > Eastern European countries do not lack "Dongfeng" < /strong > < /p >.

< p > because the cost performance made in China is no longer as high as before, some foreign clothing brands have gradually shifted their overseas production business to Hungary, Turkey and other regions.

The reason why European enterprises have always put production in China, India and other Asian regions is because of the low labor force. Now, with the rise of labor costs in China, labor cost is no longer an obstacle to the development of textile industry in Eastern Europe.

< /p >

< p > according to the Ministry of Commerce's Guide to foreign investment cooperation countries (regions), the minimum monthly wage for labor in Poland in 2012 was 336 euros, which is one of the 11 countries in the European Union with a minimum wage of less than 400 euros.

According to the survey of PwC company in Poland, the cost of employing employees in Poland is 50% lower than that in Western Europe and the United States. For Western companies, Poland has low labor cost but high quality.

In addition, the average monthly wages of Bulgaria, Romania and other countries in 2011 were less than 400 euros, according to the current exchange rate, which is equivalent to about 3200 yuan, which is comparable to the southeast coast of China.

< /p >

< p > besides the production cost, the convenience and controllability of pportation cost and quality control are also considered by buyers.

Compared with distant Asia, Eastern European countries have more advantages, for example, it takes only one or two days from Hungary to France, while shipping from China's coastal areas to Europe needs at least one and a half months.

Eastern European countries such as Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria are increasingly favored by Western European textile and garment enterprises.

When "made in China" no longer has the cost advantage, when enterprises find that people equate European manufacturing and high quality drawing, and are willing to pay higher prices, whether the manufacturing industry withdraws from the European scale begins to tilt in the minds of enterprises.

Some people worry that < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Europe < /a > no longer have the technical personnel engaged in the textile industry, but what we can not forget is that after all, textile has been a traditional industry in Europe. After all, it was once a very famous textile producing area.
