The Tenth Five-Year Plan of the Textile Industry and its Development

1. Development Objectives
Growth rate: The average annual growth rate will be 6.5 percent; the
industrial value added will increase from 267.8 billion yuan (US$32.26
billion) in 2000 to 430 billion yuan in 2005.

The total processing volume of textile fibers will rise from 12.1 million
tons in 2000 to 14.25 million tons in 2005; the average fiber consumption
per capita will go up from 6.6 to 7.4 kilograms.

Foreign exchange income from textiles and apparel exports will jump from
US$52 billion in 2000 to US$70-75 billion in 2005.

The proportion between clothing, decorative and industrial textiles
products will be readjusted from 67, 20 and 13 percent in 2000 to 64
percent, 21 percent and 15 percent in 2005 respectively.

Labor productivity will reach 35,000 yuan in 2005, a 40-percent increase
over 2000.

The contribution rate of technological progress will reach over 50
percent in 2005.

Energy and cost efficiency: energy consumption per 10,000 yuan worth of
output will fall 15 percent in 2005 against 2000.

Water conservation: the recycling rate of water in the textiles
dyeing-printing industry will reach around 30 percent; water consumption
of dyeing-printing per 100 meters of fabric will drop from 3.6 to three
tons.

2. Highlights of textile development and adjustment

1). Technological and product structural adjustment

During the Tenth Five-Year-Plan period (2001-2005), the textiles industry
will keep up with the international development trend of new technology
and restructure the traditional industry by using advanced, new
technologies to accelerate technological improvement and upgrade the
industry.

Cotton textiles: The capacity of 10 million spindles together with the
looms will be renovated to enable 60 percent of the spun-yarn machinery
to reach the advanced 1990s level; the proportion of combed yarn,
unknotting yarn and fine-count yarn and no-shuttled fabric will reach 30,
50 and 40 percent respectively.

Wool textiles: To realize electronic, serial and concatenating production
for high speed and efficiency. To raise the general quality of wool
fabric and develop high-count yarn and light and thin products. The
proportion of high-class fabric will reach 70 percent; to further expand
exports.

Linen-leave fiber textiles: Focus on developing technical equipment for
biological de-gumming of ramie, carding spinning and tow-to-yarn process
and finishing technology after dyeing and printing to solve the problem
of drought evenness, color fastness and color brightness of fine-count
yarn. To improve quality to ensure wearing comfort and to expand the
utilization of linen-leave textiles in apparel and in household textile
products.

Silk textiles: New types of composite fibers with silk as the main
content will be developed; the serialization of raw materials with silk
contents will be made and high-grade silk products will be stressed; a
shrink-proof and crease-proof finishing level will be upgraded; blended,
inter-woven and composite products using mulberry silk and other fibers
will be promoted and copies of natural products using chemical fibers
will be developed.

Knitted textiles: The use of new-type knitting machines will spread and
the capability of product design and development will be improved; the
development of the utilization of new types of raw materials and
environmental protection fibers in knitted products will be a priority;
health-care-based knitted products, knitted garments for the outdoor,
high-grade knitted underwear and high-grade warp-knitted fabrics will be
promoted and exports of knitted textiles products will be expanded.

Chemical fibers and chemical fiber raw materials: To develop new product
varieties and increase quality. By 2005, the differentiation rate will
reach 40 percent and the production capacity of enterprises with an
annual output of 100,000 tons will account for about 60 percent of the
total capacity of the chemical fiber industry.

A number of large chemical-fiber and chemical-fiber raw material bases
will be set up. The connection of all up-stream and down-stream
enterprises in the industrial chain will be better coordinated.

Textiles for industrial use: Focus on developing covering materials,
planting-base materials, fabrics, medical and hygienic materials for
health care, materials for industrial use, construction materials,
environmental protection materials, packaging materials, framing
materials and automobile-interior decoration materials.

Textiles machinery: Focus on the research and development of 40 kinds of
textile machineries in the areas of chemical fibers, yarn spinning,
weaving, knitting and dyeing and finishing; a break-through in the
development of 36 key manufacturing technologies; electronics technology
will be applied extensively to raise the level of tech-electronic
integration.

Post-dyeing and print finishing: Focus on increasing the level of
post-finishing technology for natural fibers, dye-finishing technology
for chemical-fiber copies of natural fibers, dye-finishing technology for
multi-fiber blends and composite fibers, biological ferment dye-finishing
technology, clean-production technology, laser screen-making technology,
no plate-making dye-finishing print technology; products with high added
value and ecological and environmental protection products will be
highlighted to increase the proportion of high-grade products to 60
percent and to meet demands for garment making and exports.
