2020 Thailand International Textile and Clothing Fabric Accessories Expo_ Textile Exhibition
Exhibition Introduction
Thailand's clothing and textile industry shows a steady growth trend. The Thai market has invested more energy in developing products with high added value, especially environmental protection products. The above products account for about 10% of Thailand's textile and clothing exports. In 2010, Thailand's clothing and textile exports reached 3.21 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.27% over the same period last year. From the perspective of the categories of export products, the export value of clothing ranked first, up to 88 million US dollars; Non-woven fabrics and yarns followed closely, with an export value of 78.9 million US dollars; Synthetic fiber and man-made staple fiber ranked third, with a total export value of 23.6 million US dollars; In addition, the export value of household textiles reached 11.6 million US dollars, while the export value of embroidery and mesh fabrics was 4.6 million US dollars each.
The United States has always been the largest export market of Thai clothing. In 2010, Thailand's clothing exports to the United States reached 1.26 billion US dollars, an increase of 7.26% over the same period last year. The European Union (with exports of US $1 billion) and Japan (with exports of US $253 million) ranked second and third respectively. Compared with the same period last year, Thailand's clothing exports to the two regions increased by 4.69% and 11.73% respectively. According to the report issued by Adsale Publishing Ltd., Thailand's clothing exports to ASEAN amounted to US $118 million, up 34.51% year on year. At the same time, Thailand's clothing and textile market has high technical requirements for printing machinery, and also puts forward requirements for relevant printing and graphic art workshops. According to the information released by the Ministry of Commerce, the import of printing machinery from Thailand's clothing and textile industry in 2010 was about 895 million US dollars, up 29% from 2009. Thailand mainly imports the above printing machinery from Japan, followed by China, Singapore, Germany, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ireland, the United States and Taiwan, China. At present, the labor gap in Thailand's clothing and textile industry is 30000, which will reach 100000 in the future. According to the data released by Fibre2Fashion News Desk (India), of 700000 employees in the clothing and textile industry, only nearly 450000 are officially employed by clothing enterprises. This also means that the industry needs more workers who can work in local clothing and textile manufacturing enterprises for a long time.
In 2008, the Thai government allocated nearly US $72.7 billion to the clothing and textile industry to purchase relevant machinery and technology. The Thailand Textile Institute (THTI) said that Thailand still needs to spend 145.5 million dollars to purchase high-end clothing and textile production technology, so as to improve and upgrade the machinery and technology of the industry. Thailand will use the above innovative technologies to transform its role, that is, from the original equipment manufacturer to the original design manufacturer, and finally to the original brand manufacturer within a few years. At present, the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) has been officially launched, and the ASEAN region has begun to comprehensively reduce taxes. Thailand began to focus on the large market of ASEAN. Mr. Virat Tandaechanurat, Executive Director of the Thai Textile Association, said that Thailand's raw materials cost is low, and Thailand is close to ASEAN countries, so enterprises can transport raw materials to Thailand at relatively low cost.
DejPatanasetapong, former chairman of the National Federation of Thai Textile Industries (NFTTI), said that he believed that Thailand would be able to occupy a place in the world fashion stage in the next decade, because Thailand has excellent design, advanced manufacturing equipment, free brand strategy and good sales channels. Especially the design talents in Thailand have enough ability to design clothes according to the fashion and the demand of the season. DejPatanasetapong also pointed out that in the past two years, the export volume of textiles and clothing of the world's major garment producing countries (such as China, Eastern Europe, Mexico and Cambodia) has dropped sharply.
Today, Thailand's textile and clothing manufacturers are no longer ahead of the cheap and intensive labor force, but turn their attention to the value chain, from the "defensive market" that used to wait for small orders from large customers to the "proactive market", that is, to create new ideas to attract customers' attention. In order to promote the upgrading of Thai clothing and textiles and improve the technical accountants and added value of products, GFT 2017 will strive to become a one-stop platform for the latest textile technology. This will be a grand meeting for textile fabric and textile machinery manufacturers and purchasers, and will provide exhibitors with an excellent platform to display their equipment and technology and negotiate services. GFT 2017 provides a good opportunity for display and exchange in all aspects of industry and technology.
