Due to the slowdown of the global economy and the large inventory in Europe and the United States this year, the factories in the denim industry basically have relatively few orders this year, and everyone is not as busy pushing up with production as before. We can calm down and think about the future seriously. . As a person who has ideas about the future, regular thinking is the key to making progress. I believe that the dark days will not be too long, and we will soon enter a new journey.
First question? Under the environmental protection and high-pressure policy, where is the future of the denim industry?
Everyone knows that the denim industry is really a very difficult industry. The environmental inspections from time to time, and the short-term shutdown of steam, water, and electricity have kept the denim industry in a state of being unable to continue its normal production and operation.
This intermittent state is extremely harmful to any link in the industrial chain.
I remember that the denim industry in Xintang Town, Guangzhou, China was once very brilliant. In just 20 to 30 years of development, it has acquired the reputation of being a world-class jeans manufacturing town. The world’s cowboys look at Xintang, which shocked the world, but the documentary " The Price of Jeans also makes everyone who cares about the denim industry miserable. Although some opinions in it are not pleasing, there are also irrefutable facts, which really make countless cowboys very uncomfortable. Earning a small amount of money, but having to bear the notoriety of causing pollution, people can't hold their heads up; finally, on a certain day, under a mandatory order for rectification within a time limit, the denim industry chain of Xintang Town, a strong denim town, Being ruthlessly dismembered, countless factories were forced to relocate, and the fate of countless people changed;
Why shift positions? Because environmental protection policies are getting stricter? Or is it just because the cost is getting higher and higher? No matter what the reason is, the shift from high-cost areas to low-cost areas is the general trend, and the direction from low-price competition to high-quality development is the direction, but the bigger trend is to develop from low-tech to high-tech, which is the real way out!
The world's demand for denim clothing has not plummeted because of the high-pressure environmental protection policy. On the contrary, it still shows a slow growth trend. Clothes rank first in the basic necessities of life. This is just demand! For the clothing industry, denim is not necessarily popular, but denim must be popular! And those of us who continue to stick to this industry and work hard every day always believe that the future of cowboys must be beautiful
Why is denim so attractive? That's because the biggest feature of denim is tolerance and change! It is innovation! And this innovation spreads all over every corner of the entire denim industry chain! It can be said that the gene of denim is innovation!
Technological innovation in the textile industry is changing with each passing day. From the perspective of spinning technology innovation, from rotor spinning to ring spinning, vortex spinning, from core-spun yarn, twisted yarn, empty package yarn, to Double-core yarn, three-core yarn, and various functional special fibers emerge endlessly, and all of these quickly integrated into denim fabrics. In terms of the innovation of denim fabrics, from simple 10*7, 7*7, large and small yarns to slub style fabrics, super soft fabrics, super high elastic fabrics, and various functional denim fabrics, the category changes very quickly, From the perspective of innovation in the finishing process, from simple singeing and anti-shrinkage, mercerizing, sanding, napping, etc., and the innovation of washing water is more complicated and changeable. From simple washing, Yeast washing to fried sand fried salt, and all kinds of ever-changing new washing techniques, which are amazing. It can be said that as long as there is technological innovation in the textile industry, it will definitely appear in the denim industry as soon as possible!
Anyone who has a certain understanding of denim clothing knows that denim clothing in Zhongshan has been very popular in recent years. Cowboys from all over the country have opened branches or offices here, and the business is booming day by day. The most important reason is That, in addition to the fashionable styles of Zhongshan denim, there are endless new washing techniques for denim in Zhongshan, and the production efficiency is super high.
- “Cowboys are playing with washing water”, this concept has already won the hearts of the people. The washing factory in Zhongshan City, China is small in scale, with many washing patterns and large shipments. A few washing machines can be small factories In a small town like Dayong Town, Zhongshan, there are at least more than a thousand washing masters. They spare no effort to study various new washing techniques every day after busy mass production. Although most of them have no educational background They are not high, but they have a strong sense of innovation. They are not restricted by theoretical rules and regulations. With the deepest and most direct understanding of the market, they have grasped the pulse of the market and created countless new washing techniques. If the advanced washing technology is recognized by the market, it will immediately cause a wave of sales, and the new washing technology will be imitated and used by the washing masters, which is also a characteristic of this industry! There are new things appearing every day, making the denim wash in Zhongshan unique! This has also become a place where the denim washing water in Da Chung Town is difficult to surpass. But the coercion of environmental protection still makes all the employees in the denim industry feel uneasy. Everyone is thinking about such a question: How long can this industry last? Will one day, like Xintang Town, be forced to change jobs by a government order? As for the specific requirements of environmental protection, the real cowboys are still at a loss, and it seems that they can only accept it passively. When it is time to check, they will stop power, steam, water, and work. After the inspection, continue to work overtime and hard work. Everyone can only watch The face of the government, but no real solution. Environmental protection is a general trend, which cannot be changed by anyone. If we want to continue to survive or develop in this industry, perhaps only technological innovation can really have a way out! Where is the future of the denim industry? High quality, high technology, diversification, and branding are the real way out, and technological innovation is the key!
