Recently, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the industrial value added of industrial textiles grew by 9.4% in the first quarter, an increase of 1.3 percentage points over the same period last year. In the first quarter, half of the 18 listed industrial textile companies achieved double growth in revenue and profit of their main business, while the total revenue and profit of Enterprises above the industry scale increased by 13.43% and 16.86% year on year.

Obviously, in the first quarter of 2019, China's industrial textile industry has overcome various unfavorable factors and maintained a high growth rate. In particular, medical and health non-woven materials, filtration and separation non-woven materials, automotive interior non-woven materials usher in the best development opportunity.

Demand for medical textiles will exceed 600,000 tons by 2020

China is a major producer of medical and health textiles. With the continuous upgrading of the market and the continuous improvement of people's demand for a better life, the performance of medical and health textiles presents a diversified development trend.

According to the data released by China Industrial Textile Industry Association, the fastest-growing products in medical textiles in the next few years include conventional bandages, biocompatible implants and tissue paper, anti-bacterial wound dressing materials, prosthesis materials and intelligent textiles. These five kinds of medical textiles are widely used. The raw materials for processing these textiles, such as single-layer fibers, multi-layer fibers, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, knitting and composite materials, will show great prospects. Relevant data show that in 2018, the consumption demand of medical textiles in China will exceed 500,000 tons, and by 2020, this figure will exceed 600,000 tons.

Experts predict that the industry will grow at a rate of more than 15% in the next 15 to 20 years. Medical textiles have become one of the key investment directions in the industry. Moreover, with the trend of high-end consumption, the full implementation of the Second Child Policy and the intensification of aging, investment hotspots will focus on the research and development of middle and high-end products, as well as technological transformation and equipment updating of enterprises. Research and development of more human-friendly medical textile materials will become an important direction to improve the level of treatment and medical services, so that the performance of medical textiles presents a diversified, high-end development trend. These trends have obvious extrusion effects on low-grade medical and health textiles, and are conducive to promoting industrial structure optimization and transformation and upgrading.

Xiqiao Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, relying on the advantages of industrial agglomeration and resource matching, is constantly promoting the agglomeration of emerging factors. Xiqiao sanitary products industry has been in its infancy for a few years, and the industrial cluster has begun to take shape. Nowadays, Xiqiao sanitary products industry not only actively constructs a new format and gradually realizes the transformation from manufacturer to service provider and brand merchant, but also develops new momentum. Competent enterprises should pay attention to technological innovation and enhance their innovation and brand influence.

It is worth noting that although the demand potential for textile materials in China's medical and health field is huge and the scale of the industry continues to grow, it also exposes some restrictive shortcomings and gradually highlights the bottleneck of development. For example, the comprehensive technical properties of medical textiles can not fully meet the market demand, especially in the field of implantable textiles for surgery and textiles for in vitro filtration, currently mainly rely on imports. Moreover, due to the relatively late start, the market share of medical materials in China is relatively low in the world market. At the same time, the application of domestic hospitals and health institutions has not yet been fully opened, and its application prospects need to be expanded. In addition, the global demand for disposable medical textiles in 2018 has exceeded 200 billion US dollars, and the future development of the industry is expected.
