Transformation And Upgrading: The Only Way For The Development Of Socks Industry

A few days ago, reporters at the Eighth China International Hosiery Industry Procurement Fair held in Shanghai saw that China's socks industry faced a severe situation last year when textile and clothing faced a half month of decline in exports.

Sun Yiren, chairman of Shanghai AI Gu knitting and Textile Co., Ltd., who is engaged in socks production for decades, is director of the socks Specialized Committee of the China knitted Industrial Association. He told reporters that the economic downturn made the small socks show a "lipstick effect", and the purse was shrunk, while the stocking buyers were more than that at the same time. This made the "transformation and upgrading" enterprises have a broad international market.

The statistics of Shanghai Underwear Industry Association confirmed his statement. In 2012, China's textile and clothing exports increased by 2.8% in recent 10 years, but only increased by 2.8%. But the socks grew obviously, the total export amount was 5 billion 580 million dollars, the total volume was 12 billion 396 million pairs, up 7.78% and 3.84% respectively.

Reporters found that the popular socks not only "healthy, fashionable, comfortable", the technology content is also getting higher and higher. Sun Yiren told reporters that at present, domestic socks have such characteristics: the derivatives are constantly increasing, socks have now become clothing accessories, hats, gloves and scarves are all inclusive, and there is still a trend of expansion. After a large number of natural fibers are used and the cotton price advantage is lost, the hemp jute jute, which is humid, perspiration and breathable, has become the most popular product. The application of wood fiber and bamboo fiber is also very common.

Speaking of socks design, Sun Yiren said, fashion socks are colorful. This year is neon fashion second years. Their company has nearly 20 kinds of products, bright yellow, bright orange and so on, which is consistent with the fashion trend of shoes.

Reporters at the exhibition saw many enterprises' amazing innovative ingenuity. Zhuji Datang Risheng hosiery has changed from selling socks to selling culture and selling creativity. Personalized gift socks can be customized to make socks more comfortable and satisfy people's special needs for socks.
