2024 Global Textile New Materials Innovation and Development Forum Talks about the Future of the Industry
As a strategic and basic field, new textile materials determine the system advantages and value height of the industry, and are the basic foundation of development and the commanding heights of the future. In the increasingly broad scenes and tracks, new textile materials are an important support for the modern textile industrial system and an important engine for promoting new industrialization and accelerating the formation of new quality productivity. On May 6, the 2024 Global Textile New Materials Innovation and Development Forum entered the international textile capital - Shaoxing Keqiao. With the theme of "focusing on new quality and efficiency development new momentum", it focused on the cutting-edge achievements, innovative applications and market trends of new textile materials, and in-depth discussion of the future development direction and potential space of the industry. New Textile Materials: The top priority for developing new quality productivity. Yuan Xiaowen, member of the Standing Committee of the Keqiao District Party Committee of Shaoxing City and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of China Textile City, pointed out in his speech that in recent years, Keqiao District has relied on the advantages of the existing printing, dyeing and chemical fiber industries, and has taken advanced fibers and composite new materials as the direction, and has cultivated leading enterprises with high starting point and high standards; based on projects, it has made every effort to cultivate emerging industrial groups and build a new textile material procurement center; based on industry reality, it has strengthened the research and development and industrialization of functional fibers, high-end fabrics, high-value-added textiles, fashion clothing, home textiles and other fields, and efficiently promoted the process of new textile technology industries. He expressed that he hopes to promote the research, development, promotion and application of new technologies, new processes and new products in the field of new textile materials through this forum, cultivate new quality productivity for the high-quality development of Keqiao's textile industry, and promote global textile cooperation to a new level. "The development of new textile materials promotes the deepening and extension of product applications. The reconstruction and upgrading of the industrial system are the top priority in developing new textile productive forces." Sun Ruizhe, president of the China Textile Industry Federation, put forward three expectations in his speech. First, establish first and then break, enhance leadership, focus on the forefront of development, strengthen original innovation and technology accumulation, and guide the high-end development of new fiber materials. The second is to play to the strengths and make up for the weaknesses, improve support, give full play to comparative advantages, promote the aggregation, sharing and optimal allocation of resource elements such as technology, data, and funds, and improve the overall efficiency of the industry. The third is to connect the past and the future, improve transformation, drive the industry and drive the market, build an innovation consortium, and accelerate the industrialization and commercialization process of innovative achievements. "Big fiber +" era: Deeply expanding the field of fiber application, Wang Huaping, director of the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education and professor at Donghua University, delivered a theme report on "Development and Outlook of the Textile New Materials Industry" at the meeting. He pointed out that new fiber materials are moving towards ultra-high performance, multifunctional, green and low-carbon, intelligence and high value-added. The industry mainly shows eight major development trends: high-performance fiber technology and industry, application and market progress in synergy; general fiber production capacity is under pressure and market fluctuations are intensifying; bio-based synthetic fiber technology is iteratively accelerating, favored by capital and brands; the development of recycling fiber has entered a period of specialized differentiation; the incubation process of cutting-edge fiber industry has accelerated; functional fibers have developed steadily, entering a period of breakthrough bottleneck; the application of industrial textiles has expanded to a new field; military and civilian dual-purpose textiles continue to innovate in an indispensable way. Looking to the future, he emphasized that the development of China's fiber manufacturing is closely related to the technological progress of China's manufacturing. Under the guidance of the strategy of building a strong country in science and technology, the industry will adhere to the "big"
