The reasons for the transfer of cotton textile enterprises in the east to Xinjiang

1. Textile and garment industry is a traditional advantage industry in China. Due to the comprehensive influence of the development environment at home and abroad, the international competitiveness of the industry is on the decline.

2. From the domestic development environment, the comparative advantages in labor cost, environmental protection policy and investment environment are declining, the growth of textile and garment industry is weak, and the downward pressure and industrial chain relocation pressure are greater.

3. Due to the need of cost control and industrial upgrading, the textile and garment industry in coastal areas has an obvious trend of transferring to inland areas and abroad.

4. From the international development environment, the rapid rise of emerging textile powers such as Vietnam and Bangladesh to seize the international market share poses a severe challenge to the export competition of domestic textile and garment industry.

In recent years, the state encourages the textile and clothing industry in the eastern region to gradually transfer to inland areas such as Xinjiang.

6. Under the development situation of "domestic big cycle as the main body and domestic and international double cycle", in 2020, the state put forward the programmatic document of "36 articles" for the large-scale development of the western region in the new period, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also put forward "supporting the transfer of textile and garment industry to the central and western regions".

7. Under the COVID-19 epidemic, countries pay more attention to the integrity of the local industrial chain. Keeping the textile and garment processing trade link at home can speed up the process of industrial transformation from labor-intensive to technology-intensive and intelligence-intensive to cope with the "economic decoupling" and the changes in the world economy under the impact of the epidemic.
