China is the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles, commanding over 50% of global fiber processing and 37.4% of international textile and apparel exports. The industry supports millions of jobs, drives rural income growth, and fuels regional economic development. Its robust supply chain spans upstream raw materials (cotton, synthetic fibers), midstream processing (spinning, weaving, dyeing), and downstream product manufacturing (garments, home textiles). In 2021, China’s textile sector achieved a 4.4% year-on-year increase in industrial value-added, with rises in revenue and profits. Despite challenges like rising labor costs and intensified global competition, the industry is transitioning toward high-quality growth through automation, digitalization, and sustainability initiatives.
