Data supplement

The spring of textile industry seems to come earlier than other industries.

In the 1~4 months of this year, the whole industry exported two digit growth year-on-year, and the industry prosperity index also showed that textile enterprises continuously improved.

However, when textile exports seem to take the lead, it needs to be seen that the sharp rebound in export data is more or less due to the low base promotion in the same period last year.

The United States, the European Union and Japan are the most important areas of textile and clothing consumption in the world, and also the main export market of China's textile industry.

But at present, the unemployment rate in Europe, the United States and Japan is still at a high level. The EU debt problem is one after another, and the peripheral demand has not seen an unexpected rebound.

In the second half of this year, under the overlapping of trade frictions, European debt crisis and RMB appreciation, the export situation of textile industry should not be blindly optimistic.
