Jinjiang Textile and Garment Industry Growth rate bounces back to positive for the first time in 2020

"On the automatic production lines of Qipai Group, 5000 sets of suits are matched every day, with an accuracy rate of 99.9%, thus saving labor costs by 70% and improving efficiency by 50%." Recently, Hong Bingwen, executive vice president of Fujian Qipai Group, a fashion brand based in Jinjiang, introduced the relevant situation of the enterprise development at a video conference on the circulation of modern textile and garment industry in Fujian province.

Qipai's data are a fair reflection of the collective recovery of Jinjiang textile and garment manufacturers. According to the statistics of Jinjiang Industry and Information Technology Bureau, in the first half of 2020, Jinjiang textile and garment companies achieved an output value of 75.16 billion yuan, up 3.2% year on year. The growth rate bounces back to positive for the first time in 2020, showing a marked rising trend in the industry.

Some comprehensive measures like industrial cooperation, policy support and market development help to overcome the downward pressure in the economy and reverse the adverse situation in the first quarter. For example, clothing capacity docking conferences were organized to enable men's fashion brands such as Qipai, K-Boxing, LiLanz and Septwolves to liaise with 70-plus export-oriented garment enterprises and raw material suppliers; the first local special zone was opened on Fujian Financial Services Cloud Platform, making business loans totaling 1.985 billion yuan to 94 enterprises. Meanwhile, Jinjiang actively explored the online market by making full use of e-commerce platforms like Alibaba and Pinduoduo. Jinjiang live-streaming industry festival was held to promote goods for enterprises, even with city mayor and town heads as live-stream anchors.

Government’s interacting with enterprises has boosted businesses in Jinjiang, helping them improve efficiency and increase productions. The first half of 2020 has witnessed the production value of 23 textile and garment manufacturers increasing against all odds, especially the flagship enterprises, which not only took the lead in recovery and growth, but also brought along increases of capacity and efficiency in downstream and upstream industries.

It is worth mentioning that the traditional textile and garment producers in Jinjiang have already blazed a new, individualized, and intelligent trail of production, which works as the critical driving force for the rest of the year. At present, 5G and industrial internet projects such as SinceTech, Qipai intelligent factory and 361° integrated retail clouds are being orderly carried out.

"5G intelligent factory project is now under construction in Qipai Group. We aim to build a visible and traceable intelligent clothing logistics network by integrating magnetic navigational haulage system with storage, production and management," says Hong Bingwen. He also predicts that when the project is completed and put into production, the productivity is expected to increase by at least 15%.

"We will make efforts in the respects of finance, market, industrial chain and sustained growth so as to get the textile and garment enterprises through current crisis and ensure growth in the second half of the year," says Lin Yonghong, director of Jinjiang Industry and Information Technology Bureau.

  晋江纺织服装行业上半年首次实现转负为正

　　“在柒牌自动化生产线上，每天有5000套西服可以配对成功，配套准确率达99.9%，人力节省了70%，效果提升了50%。”日前，在福建省畅通现代纺织服装产业循环视频会上，福建柒牌集团常务副总裁洪炳文介绍了企业发展的相关情况。

　　柒牌数据的背后是晋江纺织服装企业的集体逆袭。晋江工信部门统计数据显示，2020年上半年，晋江纺织服装企业完成产值751.6亿元，同比增长3.2%，上半年首次实现转负为正，晋江纺织服装行业回升态势明显。

　　产业协作、政策扶持、市场拓展等方面综合施策，克服经济下行压力，扭转第一季度不利局面。其中，晋江组织开展服装品牌产能对接洽谈会，帮助柒牌、劲霸、利郎、七匹狼等男装品牌与70多家服装出口型企业及原辅料企业进行供应链对接；在福建金服云平台开通首个地方专区，为94家企业放款，累计放款金额为19.85亿元；同时，晋江积极拓展线上市场，借力阿里巴巴、拼多多等电商平台优势，开展晋江市线上产业直播节，通过策划市长、镇长带货等线上活动，为企业积极带货。

　　政企互动，助力晋企增产增效。今年上半年，晋江23家纺织服装企业产值实现逆势上扬，特别是龙头企业率先企稳回升后，还带动产业链上下游协同增产增效。

　　值得一提的是，晋江传统纺织服装制造已走出个性化、云“智”造的新路子，这也是行业下半年持续发力的重点。目前，信泰物联、柒牌智慧工厂、三六一度新零售混合云等5G、工业互联网项目正在有条不紊地进行中。

　　“5G智慧工厂项目正在柒牌企业内铺开，通过实施磁导航牵引式搬运系统与仓储系统、生产系统、管理系统相融合，打造可视化、可追溯的服装智能物流系统。”洪炳文说，项目建成投产后，预计将进一步提升生产效率15%以上。

　　“我们将从保资金、市场、链条、后劲等方面下功夫，帮助纺织服装企业熬过生存危机，保障下半年行业实现恢复性增长。”晋江市工业和信息化局局长林永红表示。
