Who Is Threatening The Growth Of Cotton Fiber Market In The Textile Accessories Industry?

Over the years, the competition between natural fibers and chemical fibers for product market share has never stopped. P

But nowadays, the threat of cotton a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > fiber /a > future market growth is not viscose, nylon or polyester, but mobile phones, education, personal health care, and even food and fuel.

This prediction is a moment of alarm.

< p > < < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank > > textile > /a > industry, the competition of natural fiber, especially cotton and synthetic fiber has not been stopped for a long time.

When the climate is dry, cotton production is reduced and the market supply is reduced, the market price of cotton will go up. The spinning mill will increase the amount of chemical fiber, thus driving the growth of chemical fiber market share.

However, when the price of crude oil rises and the chemical fiber is the downstream derivative product, its cost will be more or less constrained by the fluctuation of the price of the crude oil market.

The fierce competition of the two big industries for their respective market profits has been continuing.

In a 2012 annual meeting of the International Federation of textile manufacturers in Hanoi, Vietnam, there was a topic presentation under the theme of supply chain, which sparked interest among the people in the industry. P

The keynote speech by Mark Messura, senior vice president of global supply chain marketing at Cotton Corp, USA, points out that people's living expenses are quite diversified nowadays. In the United States, the proportion of "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "target=" _blank "clothing" /a "consumption to total daily consumption has dropped from 5.7% in 1989 to 4.7% in 1999, and this proportion has dropped to 3.5% in 2011.

At the same time, the proportion of personal health care expenditure to total daily consumption increased from 5.1% in 1989 and 5.3% in 1999 to 6.7% in 2011.

The consumption of automobile fuel increased from 3.5% in 1989 to 5.3% in 2011.

And spending on education increased from 1.3% in 1989 to 2.1% in 2011.

It can be seen that more and more diversified living expenses make the proportion of clothing consumption in the total consumption of people continue to decline.

< p > when cotton and chemical fibers compete for their respective market share, a wider application area blueprint has been launched for the cotton industry.

< /p >

Less than P and 80%~85% of the world's cotton are processed into textiles and clothing by the textile industry. Therefore, the textile and garment industry will continue to be the most important final application area in the future.

However, cottonseed is also widely used in oil, ice cream, animal feed and building materials.

Technological innovation can improve and improve the quality of cotton fiber.

Cotton is not a synthetic fiber, but it is an excellent engineering fiber, especially in the building materials industry will have a very broad prospect.

Cottonseed can not be used for spinning in textile enterprises, so these applications may be insignificant for cotton spinning enterprises, but this is very important for the economic health of cotton growers and cotton industry. Therefore, expanding the application field of cotton crops will become a driving force for improving cotton production in the future.

< p > Masura also pointed out that when people make consumer purchase decisions, environment-friendly and sustainable development is usually considered as an important consideration, which is fundamentally a supply chain factor rather than a market factor.

A Cotton Corp survey shows that few consumers are willing to pay higher prices for home textile products and clothing in terms of environmental friendliness, organic, sustainable development, recycling and other factors.

About 27% of consumers said they would pay attention to and look for environmentally friendly clothing products in the production process, which is down from 5 years ago.

This shows that environmental protection plays a secondary role in the decision-making process of people's purchasing process.

< p > people often ask: when the world needs more food and grain and cotton compete for land, how should the growers of "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "cotton > /a" face? The answer is that in the future, the world will need more and more East and West. This is why the cotton industry should strive to find solutions to increase production capacity through innovative practices, save the land, water and energy needed for cotton cultivation, and reduce the consumption of chemicals to achieve higher yields.
