Production of textile applications gap into China's textile big shortcomings

"At present, the total amount of fiber finishing in China is 53 million tons, accounting for 54.8% of the world and more than half of the world." Recently, at the "Industry Frontier Technology Grand Lecture" co-sponsored by the Science and Technology Communication Center of the China Association for Science and Technology and the Beijing Science and Technology Association, Li Lingshen, president of the China Industrial Fabrics Industry Association, said.

　　In September this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the "National Fabric Industry Progress Plan (2016-2020)" (referred to as the fabric industry progress plan), put forward the policy measures to promote the progress of the fabric industry, encouraging the development of new chemical fiber materials, high-performance industrial fabric products, natural fiber development and application of the three major areas.

　　Fabric industry is China's traditional pillar industry, important livelihood industry and manufacturing internationalization of new advantages of the industry. Nowadays, how the fabric industry can become an industry to preserve growth and adjust structure in the new technology and new business environment, how to become a component of strategic emerging industries, how to transform beyond fabric into a cross-field high-tech industry, has become a new issue.

　　"China is a big fabric country in the world, the reason why we have not become a fabric powerhouse, the big gap lies in the gap between the production of fabric products application." Li Lingshen said.

　　Li Lingshen introduced that the big feature of industrial use fabric products is that they are deliberately designed with engineering structures for very application areas. "Medical and health care fabrics, filter fabrics, transportation fabrics, geotechnical fabrics, structural reinforcement fabrics, etc., all belong to industrial fabrics." Li Lingshen said.

　　"Domestic and foreign fabric consumption market is containing new progress space." Li Lingshen said. 2015, workwear, home textiles, industrial fabrics products fiber finishing volume proportion from 51:29:20 in 2010, adjusted to 46.6:28.1:25.3.

　　According to the progress plan of fabric industry, population growth and economic recovery will support the global fiber consumption demand to continue to grow, it is estimated that the average growth rate of global fiber consumption during the "13th Five-Year Plan" is more than 2.5%. With the steady growth of domestic infrastructure construction, environmental management, medical health and other inputs, industrial fabrics fiber consumption will continue to grow rapidly.

Li Lingshen said, the production of fabrics with large categories of medical and health, including medical fabrics and health fabrics, now the market demand is huge, "for example, our country now disposable surgical gown market penetration rate of only 5% to 7%, while the United States ninety percent, Japan, Europe and other countries are in 70%, 80%".

　　And at the same time, the haze let filter respectively technology industry progress especially fast, become the field of progress progress faster; national defense, military industry's rapid progress, all for the production of fabric industry has brought great progress, the future progress is to high-performance, multi-functional, comfortable, lightweight, modular, intelligent, series of march; the progress of the automobile industry has brought the prosperity of transportation with fabric, transportation with fabric in more and more to meet the European standard, the American standard of recyclability.

　　"'Thirteenth Five-Year' period, fabric science and technology progress has five major tasks, one of which is basic research, this is particularly important to us, very new materials industry, now we still lack basic research, in terms of major key technologies and advanced and applicable technologies, but also need to increase R & D. Other also need to Optimize and improve the science and technology collaborative innovation system, and strengthen the support system of standards." Li Lingshen said.

　　It is measured that by 2050 production with fabrics will reach 170.5 million tons, and this change comes from the "alternative". "Germany a day with a new fabric, we have not done domestic statistics, but unlimited substitution has been the norm in the past five years of our production with fabric industry." Li Lingshen said that the fabric industry will be a "thriving sub-industry".
