On December 2nd, the 2026 Annual production and operation Work symposium of the textile machinery industry was held in Fuzhou. Xu Yingxin, vice president of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, Gu Ping, president of the China Textile Machinery Association, Liu Song, Zhao Xiaogang, vice presidents, Cong Zheng, secretary-general, and other leaders from relevant departments, special guests, experts and scholars, as well as representatives from enterprises along the upstream and downstream of the textile machinery industry chain, all attended this meeting. The meeting was presided over by Gu Ping, the president of the China Textile Machinery Association.

At present, it is a crucial juncture for the conclusion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan and the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. Industry colleagues have gathered in Fuzhou to discuss the development plans for the textile machinery industry and plan the future blueprint. Gu Ping, the president of the China Textile Machinery Association, pointed out that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, in the face of the profound adjustment of the global industrial pattern and the dual drive of domestic "dual carbon" goals and digital transformation, the traditional path of scale expansion should be broken through. Systematic changes have been achieved in technological innovation, industrial upgrading, market expansion and other aspects. The transition from being the world's top producer to a new stage of high-quality development has laid a solid equipment foundation for the modernization of the textile industry. He said that looking ahead to 2026, China's textile machinery industry should adhere to the guidance of optimizing traditional industries and strengthening emerging industries. Taking self-reliance and self-strengthening in scientific and technological innovation as the path, high-quality improvement as the key handle, and green and intelligent development as the direction, we will keep moving forward. From a major force in global textile equipment to a leader, the industry has reached new heights in the directions of diversification, high-end development and overseas expansion, making greater contributions to the modernization transformation of China's textile industry and the sustainable development of the global textile industry.

Xu Yingxin, vice president of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, elaborated in detail on the current development status and future trends of China's textile industry. He pointed out that in 2025, the operation of China's textile economy will present distinct characteristics: the growth rate of production will gradually slow down, the domestic sales market will maintain a moderate growth trend, the pressure in the export sector will continue to increase, the growth rate of industry investment will remain at a stable level, and the pressure on the benefit end of enterprises will gradually become prominent.

When it comes to the development prospects of the industry in 2026, Xu Yingxin said that the textile industry will still face phased operational pressure in the short term, but in the long run, it is still in an important period of strategic opportunities. This is specifically manifested in three aspects: the quality improvement and upgrading of domestic demand are expected to achieve multiple breakthroughs; technological innovation will drive a leap in industrial value; and the concept of green and low-carbon will be deeply integrated into the process of industrial upgrading. Regarding the key development directions of China's textile industry, he proposed six aspects: building an internationally leading scientific and technological innovation system, establishing a value-driven innovative fashion industry, creating a green industrial system covering the entire life cycle, cultivating a "healthy textile" industrial chain, building a high-level international supply chain system, and improving the cross-regional collaborative layout system.

Finally, Xu Yingxin addressed his colleagues in the industry with the words, "The road ahead is long and arduous, but the future is promising." He called on all parties to join hands and forge ahead in the face of hardships and challenges, and jointly write a new chapter of high-quality development of the textile industry during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period!
