Middle And Low End Orders Pfer To Southeast Asia &Nbsp; Small And Medium-Sized Garment Enterprises Are Facing Life And Death.

A survey of clothing industry in Jintan and Nantong of Jiangsu shows that most enterprises are not optimistic about the development prospect of 2012, and now the production efficiency of enterprises is improved.

In from February 10th to 12th, under the guidance of Jiang Hengjie, consultant of China Fashion Association, the Spring Research of Jiangsu Fashion Association of China conducted a detailed investigation in Jiangsu and Jintan, Nantong.

The survey focused on the tax burden, the development of independent brands, the financing situation in 2011, and the questionnaire survey on the internal and external sales orders, operating rates and workers' rework after the Spring Festival in 2012.

The survey shows that the output of garment industry in Jintan and Nantong is still increasing in 2011, but the profits of enterprises are decreasing.

Most enterprises are not optimistic about the development prospects of 2012. Now the efficiency of enterprises is not up to the speed of cost rising.

In the 1 quarter of 2012, clothing exports are expected to decline about 10%.

The small and medium-sized enterprises which are mainly secondhand and three handed, and the foreign trade companies with special orders will be unhappy and may go bankrupt.

In 2012, small and medium-sized garment enterprises will face survival problems, and employees will also face employment problems again.

But most enterprises also think that it is time for the industry to reflect.

The number based development model has come to the end, and the industry will enter a turning point, and the pace of development will slow down.

The "shuffle" will promote enterprises to change.

There is no limit to rising costs.

Sewing workers are becoming more and more difficult to recruit, which is a common problem for enterprises.

Now, it is not the recruitment of employees, but the "inspection" of employees.

This year, garment processing enterprises are not as eager to recruit workers as they used to be, but they are in a wait-and-see trend.

Because enterprises have not seen clearly the whole international situation and the industry situation in 2012, they can not make effective judgments.

Similarly, workers do not rush to work. We are all choosing a well paid and well integrated enterprise.

Now the cost of employment has risen rapidly, and the average wage of workers has reached 3000 yuan, an increase of 20% over the same period in 2011.

Even so, it is difficult for enterprises to find the right workers.

Due to the rapid economic development in the central and western regions, the pfer of textile and garment industry requires a large number of labor force, and many garment workers have been intercepting locally, focusing on Henan and Anhui.

At the same time, the post-80s and post-90s sewing workers are unwilling to work overtime, lack of hardship, and come out to work not to survive, mainly to see the outside world.

Now the new sewing workers who enter the garment industry every year do not have many people who quit every year.

The cost of labor insurance is too high and the growth rate is too fast.

In addition, the tax burden of enterprises is heavier.

Now that enterprises earn no money, they must pay 17% of their taxes. The more wages the enterprises give to the workers, the more taxes the enterprises will pay. The enterprises hope that the state can lower the tax burden and make the workers' wages and social security funds deduct before taxation.

Transfer of middle and low orders to Southeast Asia

At present, many enterprises are afraid to take orders due to the increase of comprehensive cost and the influence of exchange rate.

Some low-end orders began to pfer to Southeast Asian countries, and the trend of pfer is more obvious.

Now Jiangsu garment processing enterprises have begun to gradually shift to high value-added orders, and gradually expand the proportion of domestic brand orders.

But employees are reluctant to make small quantities and demanding clothes.

In addition, the order volume of domestic brands is also declining, which is mainly due to the fact that in 2011, too many domestic clothing brands were stocked, mostly in the digestion of inventory, resulting in a decline in new orders.

Besides, the financing of garment enterprises is rather difficult.

Nowadays, many banks regard the clothing industry as a "high-risk industry", which is difficult for enterprises to borrow. However, the technological pformation, talent introduction and independent brand development of enterprises can not be separated from money, which is difficult to rely on the enterprise's own funds. It is hoped that the state will give financial support and tax support to small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of technological pformation, equipment upgrading and independent brand building.

Accelerate the pformation and upgrading of enterprises

Most of the garment enterprises in the two places have carried out industrial pformation and upgrading, upgrading hardware equipment, realizing "two integration", and upgrading value-added products through quality services, and gradually began to change from OEM to ODM.

Most enterprises begin to extend to the upstream and downstream industries, and integrate the industrial chain to achieve joint and collaborative innovation, reduce operating costs, improve production efficiency and product quality, which has achieved good results.

But the effect of industrial pfer is not ideal, because enterprises will open factories in Henan and Anhui, leading to a series of problems, such as increasing pport costs, imperfect industrial chain matching, recruitment difficulties and so on.

Some processing enterprises began to take the road of independent brand development, but they are still in the stage of exploring and testing water, taking the attitude of "no hurry, no discouragement, no stopping and no risk".

Enterprises want to realize the brand's road, but lack of professional professionals in brand operation, lack of correct understanding of the development path of the brand, and find no effective way.

At present, although the whole situation is not ideal, we are still confident about the future development of the industry. We believe that the clothing industry is a sunrise industry, and the market still exists. The development depends mainly on the enterprises themselves.

At the same time, we hope that the government can focus on the traditional garment industry, the export earning industry and the international competitive advantage.

We should give corresponding support to tax burden, export tax rebate and independent brand building, and attach importance to and support the development of the real economy. We must create a fair development environment for enterprises and establish confidence in the development of enterprises.
