On the other hand, the middle and high-end manufacturing lines are returning to Europe, and Quanzhou textile and garment enterprises will face more severe market challenges.


Garment foundry companies are changing


Recently, a company in Shishi is in a difficult position.

Two years ago, the company was still making garment processing. Now it has switched to the electronics industry.


The company official said: "in 2006, we made a set of European outdoor clothing to make two hundred or three hundred yuan, but in recent years, the situation is getting worse and worse. At the worst time, it only earns a few cents. Sometimes, in order to fight for customers, we even get orders that are not profitable."

Many textile and garment enterprises do OEM for European fashion brands.

However, since the European debt crisis, orders and OEM profits from Europe have been declining.

The cost performance is no longer satisfying.

A fashion brand in France recently moved its overseas production business to Hungary, its production leader Lopez said in an interview with the media.

Independent innovation promotes core competitiveness


As for the phenomenon that Chinese manufacturing has been increasingly "neglected", the industry has said that on the one hand, enterprises should increase their independent innovation and create their own brands. On the other hand, they should expand their marketing capabilities with the help of new platforms such as e-commerce, and get rid of the inherent mode of relying on wholesale and external markets.
