"In 2020, China will account for about 20% of the global nonwovens export trade. China's nonwovens industry is forming significant advantages in process technology, industrial scale and comprehensive cost." At the 15th China International Industrial Textiles and nonwovens exhibition held in Shanghai recently, sun Ruizhe, President of the International Federation of textile manufacturers and President of the China Textile Industry Federation, said that industrial textiles are redefining the value form, market space and scene boundary of the textile industry and are a future industry with unlimited application possibilities.
At this exhibition, nearly 500 high-quality exhibitors from around the world appeared with new products and technologies. The scope of exhibits covered many application fields such as medical and health, geotechnical construction and safety protection, providing new ideas and imagination for upstream and downstream resource cooperation and allocation, new material research and development and application field expansion.
Tap differentiated competitiveness
Under the influence of the epidemic situation, the nonwoven industry has undergone significant changes. The industry has poured in more investors and developed rapidly. However, the competition in the industry is further fierce. How to break through the competition is a problem faced by all enterprises.
"There are more and more homogeneous products in the market, which is not attractive to customers. Enterprises can win in the market competition only by constantly pushing through the old and bringing forth the new and distancing themselves from conventional products." The person in charge of the booth of Xingda Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. of Tangshan Sanyou group told China industry daily that in recent years, various new functional fibers with regenerated cellulose fiber as the carrier have been launched continuously, further expanding the application market of regenerated cellulose fiber. In order to meet the development trend of the market, enterprises must take the road of differentiation in order to attract customers' attention“ At present, the company continues to develop functional fiber varieties for industrial use, providing more choices for the market. " The person in charge of the booth said.
In the transformation from conventional products to differentiated products, enterprises should also upgrade the corresponding supporting equipment. The person in charge of the booth of Sichuan AIA Enterprise Co., Ltd. said that the company has the domestic advanced ss-mms multi-purpose production line, which has the advantages of advanced spinning process, excellent product quality and high operation reliability. The production line can produce sanitary products, materials and medical protection products, with fast operation speed, high production efficiency and low energy consumption per unit product, The products made of it have the characteristics of rich product structure, good uniformity and excellent physical and mechanical properties. It can provide personalized and differentiated nonwovens for users in different application fields.
Taking the road of differentiation and opening up new development space for the industry is undoubtedly the way for enterprises to break the situation when the industry track is crowded. Li Guimei, vice president of China Industrial Textile Industry Association, believes that the future development of the industry is facing the trend of high-end and diversification. We need to develop and improve special resin and fiber varieties, develop high-end equipment, and develop and mass produce high-end nonwovens and products; Support the industry to develop low-cost and high-quality process technology, equipment and raw materials, develop high value-added multi-functional textiles, and develop textiles that serve people's livelihood and improve and affect human life in the future.
Pursuing sustainable development
Novel coronavirus pneumonia has been a major trend in the past years. China's nonwovens industry has begun to enter the digestion stage of its initial capacity. Sun Ruizhe said that the fluctuation and decline of economic indicators will not change the overall trend and trend of the development of the non-woven industry. At present, China is accelerating the formation of a "double cycle" pattern based on the domestic demand market, and the development of nonwovens industry is in an important period of strategic opportunity.
In the new development opportunities, enterprises are also constantly innovating and changing. David Rousse, President of the American nonwovens Association, believes that consumers will prefer sustainable products in the future. Product sustainability is promoting the development of Nonwovens in the fields of substrate, chemicals and packaging, which will also become a hot field for new investment.
Taking the road of green, environmental protection and sustainable development has obviously become the consensus of the industry. Many enterprises have already insight into the opportunity and take a quick step.
"In the face of severe environmental challenges, sustainable development has become an international issue. Nonwoven enterprises must participate and contribute their own strength."
Run out of innovation "acceleration"
At present, China's nonwovens industry is in a critical period of structural adjustment and industrial upgrading, and innovation is essential.
The role of innovation is becoming more and more prominent in the nonwovens industry. Zhu Meifang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the State Key Laboratory of fiber material modification and Dean of the school of materials science and engineering of Donghua University, said that in the next step, the research group will strengthen the research on the diversification of nonwovens, the fiber functionalization of nonwovens, the nano processing of nonwovens and the high value application of nonwovens, and extend the application field to biomedicine Chemical warfare agent protection, battery diaphragm, intelligent sensing and other more subdivided fields.
"We should explore unknown areas, pay attention to cutting-edge and cutting-edge Textile Science and technology research, and pay attention to the essence of things, so as to form fundamental and subversive innovation in the textile industry." Li Guimei also suggested.
