Since the 12th Five-Year Program， China textile industry has maintained a sustained， steady and sound development with the expanding scale of industrial volume， effective implementation of science and technology， brands， sustainable development， qualified personnel and other important strategies as well as the promotion of constructing the powerful textile country strategy. However， as the great changes took place in external macro situation and internal development pattern， the economic growth of the textile industry was gradually slowing down to a moderate speed during the 12th Five-Year Program compared with the high-speed period of the 10th Five Year Program and the medium-high speed period of the 11th FiveYear Program， moreover， the optimization of the industrial structure and the promotion of the development quality would stimulate the economic growth prominently and the character of transforming the development stage and accelerating upgrade became increasingly obvious. Here are some characteristics that appeared in China textile industry since the start of the 12th FiveYear Program.

The economic scale and benefit run steadily with a decline at growth speed

In 2014， the fiber processing volume amounted to 50 million tons in Chinese textile industry with an average annual growth rate of 4.9% compared with year 2010 and the average annual growth rate fell by 6.8 percentage points， compared with the first decade of the 21st century. The fiber processing volume in China remained steady at more than 50% of the world share. In 2014， the total export of the textile and garments was 307 billion dollars with an average annual growth rate of 9.7% and fell by 5.4 percentage points， compared with year 2001 to 2010 and the total exports accounted for 37.4% of the world and increased by 3.1 percentage points， compared with year 2010. The main business income of the enterprises ADS （above the designated size） was 6，722 billion yuan with an average annual growth rate of 10.3%， 8.5 percentage points slower than that in the first ten years （2001-2010）. The total profits of the textile industry registered 366.3 billion yuan， up by 13.1% on the average （2011-2014） and declined by 9.5 percentage points， compared with the first ten years in the new century.

The industrial structure and running quality are gradually optimized

The positive progress has been made in the industrial structure adjustment of textile industry to such an extent that the fiber processing proportion of garment， household textile and industrial textile is adjusted to 46.8：28.6：24.6 in year 2014 from 51：29：20 in the year 2010. The industrial textile has played an increasingly important role as the new source of economic growth point， as indicated by the increase of 4.6 percentage points in the above cake-share. The chemical fiber accounted for 82% of the whole fiber processing volume and increased by 13 percentage points， compared with year 2010， playing a vital role in ensuring the supply of textile materials and improving the structure of the materials in the case of the short supply of the natural fiber and the differentiation rate of it was above 50% in its product portfolios. The main business income of the textile enterprises accounted for 22.5% of the whole industry and increased by 5.7 percentage points， compared with year 2010 in Middle and West areas with the gradual promotion of the regional structure adjustment at home. The multinational layout ability of the textile enterprises has ascended and the backbone enterprises tried aggressively to build up a “China+ surrounding countries” pattern， starting to penetrate into high-end field of the industrial chain in developed countries.endprint
