The textile machinery industry needs a price linkage mechanism

In November, when Beijing supermarkets opened their doors every morning, large numbers of people flocked in and bought rice, eggs, cooking oil, and vegetables that were cheaper than farmers' markets. This situation that has not been seen for many years seems to have made people return to the mid-1980s. In view of the increase in prices of nearly 80% of more than 30 kinds of monitored commodities, the National Development and Reform Commission and various ministries and commissions have jointly issued relevant measures to control inflation. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also formulating measures to control the rise in the prices of industrial raw materials and intends to prevent those industries from suffering from rising prices of raw materials. Give policy subsidies.

For the textile industry, in addition to the increase in the prices of some agricultural products, the prices of industrial raw materials remain high. Cotton increased from 18,000 yuan/ton on September 1 to 27,000 yuan/ton now, up by 53%; the low-carbon ferrochrome production price required for spinning machine manufacturing was 13,600 to 13,800 yuan/ton (60 basis price) for one week. It rose by 300-400 yuan/ton; the monthly increase of polyurethane raw materials was 1,500 yuan to 2,000 yuan/ton. The rise in the prices of various raw materials has caused textile companies to also have to consider price increases.

Today, the market finally reacted. Currently listed winter clothing and autumn clothing prices have been raised compared to previous years. However, due to the influence of domestic and foreign market bulls, the price of domestic textile machinery products has been difficult to increase for a long time, and it cannot reflect the market rules of domestic textile machinery products with higher prices and better prices.

After more than 30 years of development in China's reform and opening up, the Chinese textile machinery industry has been unable to match the price of textile machinery products, regardless of the level of technology, the establishment of domestic and foreign markets, or the contribution rate to the industry. . Since the price of textile machinery products has always been at a relatively low level for a long time, with the increase in raw material prices, labor costs, and social costs, the textile machinery industry has been squeezed and profits have remained at only 10% or even 5%. Over time, our country The sustainable development of the textile machinery industry will be seriously affected. Therefore, the textile machinery industry should also implement the linkage mechanism between the prices of products and raw materials, and establish a price system with high quality and high prices as soon as possible to truly safeguard the interests of companies with intellectual property rights.

It is not difficult for us to see that in the current market competition, the Chinese textile machinery industry can no longer take the old road of winning with the price alone. The Chinese textile machinery industry should increase its investment in science and technology and increase product addition in the future transformation and upgrading process. Values, to promote the product to the direction of precision processing, high value-added upgrades, break through the developed countries on China's textile industry set up technical barriers. This requires that our textile machinery enterprises must increase the technological content of products, expand brand awareness, and form a virtuous cycle between profit levels, technological progress and market competition.
