Silk Fabric and Clothing Manufacturing Industry Data and Analysis
Over the five years through 2024, the Silk Fabric and Clothing Manufacturing industry in China is expected to fall at an CAGR of 2.0%, including a recovery of 3.4% in 2024. The industry performed well from 2014 to 2019, due to rising personal disposable incomes, increasingly diversified industry products, and growth in downstream demand.Since 2020, China's major silk export markets like the United States, Europe and India have reduced their imports from China due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Industry exports decreased by 55.0% in 2020, resulting in a decrease of 11.8% in industry revenue. In 2021, with the epidemic situation well controlled in China, the industry was in the stage of restorative growth. However, in 2022, due to the repeated COVID-19 epidemic, domestic consumption declined, and international trade was affected, leading to a decline of 3.6% in industry revenue.Silk fabric and clothing manufacturers have also had to contend with rising labor, energy and raw material costs and fierce competition from substitute product manufacturers. ACMR-IBISWorld expects that competition from other countries with lower labor costs will be a significant threat for the industry over the long term. As a result, the industry is anticipated to restructure over the next five years and increase research and development (R&D) investment to boost production efficiency and develop more value-added products. Over the next five years, industry revenue is projected to grow at an CAGR of 4.1% by 2029. Increasing competition from external players (like cotton and chemical fiber dyers; and ramie, linen, and hemp processors) is forecast to gradually reduce industry product prices.
