The Development Of Textile And Garment Industry In The Elderly Has Huge Space And Broad Prospects.

The main data of the < p > sixth national census show that the proportion of people aged 60 and over has reached 13.26% in China. By 2025, it will exceed 300 million people; in 2045, it will reach 400 million; by 2050, it will reach 1/3 of the total population.

< p > Shang Pu consulting industry analysts believe that: at present, the elderly population in China is nearly 200 million. With the growth of the elderly, the health condition of the elderly is gradually disturbed by many diseases. The demand for < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp" > textile and clothing > /a "will also be diversified. It will change from comfort and health care to adjuvant therapy and rehabilitation, and its development prospect is broad.

< p > at present, the output value of China's aging industry is about 10000 billion yuan, of which the annual consumption potential of elderly clothing is at least 200 billion yuan.

China's textile and clothing market usually divides "middle and old age" into one category. These clothes are old and monotonous, and most products do not reflect the characteristics suitable for the elderly.

In order to meet the needs of this group, old age textiles should be separately classified into "silver hair textile".

At present, the market demand is large, the supply is small, and the supply and demand relationship is not balanced.

< p > at present, China's < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > textile and garment industry < /a > facing RMB appreciation, low foreign demand, increasing raw material and labor costs, and gradually weakening the competitiveness of products with low technology content at home and abroad. It is necessary to find new products with high added value and practical participation in the new round of competition. Silver hair textile is still uncultivated virgin land. The silver industry will form the most profitable industry in twenty-first Century with the ten major industries, such as the real estate industry.

< p > the biggest feature of the elderly is the gradual decline of health, such as insomnia, forgetfulness, three high, lumbago and leg pain, visual hearing loss, various chronic inflammation, prostatic or breast lesions, pruritus, inaction and other diseases.

Elderly products should be developed according to the different conditions of the elderly, such as comfort and convenience, practical textiles, composite multi-functional health care textiles, intelligent high-tech textiles, matching shoes and socks, cap and so on.

Other textile related products include carbon fiber and other high-performance fibers for ultra light wheelchairs, crutches, umbrellas, folding chairs, walking aids, sports equipment for the elderly, geriatric adjuvant therapy and rehabilitation equipment.

< p > Shang Pu consulting pointed out in the "2011-2016 years in-depth analysis report on China's clothing industry analysis": the elderly group is "sunset crowd", but the elderly products industry is "sunrise industry".

The elderly products industry not only refers to clothing, home textiles, crutches and other single products, but also includes many aspects such as daily life care, health care and so on.

At present, there are few product categories and low technology content in the elderly products industry in China. It is far from meeting the consumption needs of the elderly population. The market is basically at a blank stage. In the face of the huge market demand, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_h.asp" > the old clothing industry < /a > has great room for development.
