As a big textile country, are China and Pakistan competitive or complementary in the field of textile industry? What are the uses of different textile materials in Pakistan? At the autumn joint exhibition of China Textile Industry Federation in 2020, the reporter of Economic Daily - China Economic Net interviewed many exhibitors who had business contacts with Pakistan for many years.

Cotton yarn: China imports low count yarn for jeans and Pakistan imports high count yarn for fabrics

Ke Jiangwei, general manager of Xiamen Naxin Trading Co., Ltd., a trader who has been engaged in Pakistan's yarn import business for many years, said in an interview with the reporter of Economic Daily - China economic net that Pakistan's coarse yarn just makes up for the shortcomings of China's cotton mills in coarse yarn because of the relationship of cotton fiber. The cost performance is very advantageous for us“ Pakistan yarn is mainly siro spinning and ring spinning. Siro spinning 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 16 are very popular in China because it is very suitable for making denim. "

At the same time, "Pakistani cotton yarn is less like domestic 40, 50 and 60 yarns." Yang Bin, director of Foshan Zhixing textile and Garment Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the reporter of Economic Daily - China Economic Net.

Zheng Peipei, general manager of Hai'an Jinhong Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd., said that the company has cooperated with Pakistan for 15 years“ They mainly buy some yarn, nylon and polyester. High count yarn is used for cloth and socks; Fishing lines are exported to Karachi, where they are used as fishing nets; Twisted threads are dyed and made into sewing threads, which are sold to local factories that make shoes and bags. " She said, "we are manufacturers exporting directly. The price we give customers is at least 10 points cheaper. The quality is good and the supply is stable. That's what the Pakistani market needs."

In order to facilitate the effective connection between domestic and foreign manufacturers, the textile branch of CCPIT, the organizer of the exhibition, has specially set up a "one-to-one" fair. Chinese exhibitors had face-to-face talks with many Pakistani buyers“ Just talked to the Pakistani buyer. He said that their socks were imported from China. " Ke Mingyu, head of the import and Export Department of Shanghai Aigu knitwear and Textile Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the Economic Daily China Economic Net.

Is there competition between China and Pakistan in sock manufacturing? Ke Mingyu said that there are still differences between China and Pakistan in making socks“ Many of our major customers purchase from us and from Pakistan. Pakistan is mainly coarse woven products, and China is mainly chemical fiber. "

Viscose staple fiber: Babu produces about 80% - 90% of China's production capacity in the world

"Our company's main product is viscose staple fiber, with an annual production capacity of 200000 tons, which is exported to Pakistan about 1000 tons a month. It is mainly used to spin yarn into fabrics, and the final products are more exported to Europe and America. They are used to make denim, knitted underwear and so on, and also used to make robes locally. " Xu Leilei, Sales Department of Hengtian Hailong (Weifang) new materials Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the reporter of Economic Daily - China Economic Net.

Is there a similar factory in Pakistan? In this regard, Xu Lei said: "there is no viscose factory in Pakistan at present. China's viscose production capacity has reached 80% - 90%, and the scale of other countries such as Thailand and Malaysia is relatively small. "

Spandex yarn: 70% of the production capacity is imported from Pakistan, China and used as elastic denim

"Spandex is a very elastic fiber, with elongation of more than 400% and rebound of more than 90%. It is mainly used in garment fabrics, socks, sanitary products, etc." Zhou Feiyan, marketing manager of Lianyungang Duzhong xinaoshen spandex Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the Economic Daily China economic network, "the global spandex production capacity is about 1 million tons, 70% of the production capacity is concentrated in China, and 70% of the market is also in China. Spandex will be used in overseas markets such as South Asia, Europe and South America, but they are mainly imported. Our annual export amount is about US $4 million. "

Referring to the cooperation with Pakistan, Zhou Feiyan said: "it is a complementary relationship with Pakistan, because Pakistan has no spandex manufacturers and mainly imports from China, as well as Vietnam and Turkey. Pakistan is a market dominated by denim. It will use spandex yarn to make core spun yarn through the process of yarn wrapping, and then woven into denim. It has high requirements for spandex elasticity and resilience. In addition to good cost performance, Chinese products with high resilience can meet the performance requirements of baton denim for spandex. We export about 20 tons to Pakistan every month. "

Zhou Feiyan is optimistic about the market prospect of Pakistan“ Because the application of spandex in Pakistan market is relatively high-end, and it is in a stable and rising trend, and the customers are relatively loyal, which is more suitable for our products. At present, there are many dyeable spandex, high rebound spandex and high temperature resistant spandex exported to Pakistan. In the future, antibacterial spandex, antiviral spandex, mosquito repellent spandex and traditional Chinese medicine health spandex may be gradually accepted by them. "

Referring to the cooperation experience with Pakistan railway, Zhou Feiyan said that although the content of spandex in the fabric is not high, only 5% - 10%, it has a great value after production. So building trust is very important“ In fact, once a Pakistani customer determines that a product will not be changed easily. After the outbreak, we have a plan to visit the Palestinian market. "

Polyester: the investment amount of production equipment is less than that of similar bus manufacturers

Shi Qiwen, a salesman of Fujian Jinxing group, said that at present, there are few local manufacturers in Pakistan in the field of polyester production“ The threshold is relatively high, basically more than 1 million tons and 500000 tons of production capacity, and the equipment investment is basically several hundred million. "

Shi Qiwen said: "at present, the textile industry is more concentrated in developing countries, such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Vietnam. So exports to these countries will be a little more. Before 2015, it began to make a market in Pakistan. Its main export products are polyester filament and polyester chip, about 1000 tons a month. "
