Korean fiber industry: standing on the shoulders of innovation and fashion

- View the leading technology and fashion concept of South Korean fiber fabric research and development Outstanding performance of South Korea's fiber industry, as well as the performance of the international textile market in recent years for all to see. Recently, I personally felt the influence of Korea's fiber industry on its leading technology and products in continuous R & D and innovation and their more mature fiber production enterprises. Indeed, a framework for the development of the textile industry in South Korea can be seen through Korea's fiber industry, which has pioneering innovative functional fabrics, raw silk, dyeing and finishing processes. Unique fiber industry South Korea's fiber industry technology level in the world's fifth. South Korea in order to continue the development of the fiber industry, but also focus on cultivating a number of talents in the fiber industry. For example, fashion designers will cultivate 8-900 people each year, and there are about 670 people in the fiber industry each year. Officials in the Korean fiber industry have also made plans for the development of the industry. The goal is to achieve an industry-to-fabric ratio of 55% in 2015 and 30% in apparel products. It is precisely because of the many types of fiber fabrics in Korea, fast color renovation, the price is relatively low compared to European fabrics, South Korea won the majority of fiber fabric women's high-grade Chinese enterprises of all ages. Korean fiber fabric enterprises are mainly supplied to large-scale Chinese enterprises doing OEM. With the overall improvement of China's garment industry, Korean enterprises now provide fabrics not only for processing enterprises but also for some high-grade and functional fabrics for brand clothing enterprises. Data show that China's high-end clothing in the procurement and use of Japan, South Korea fabric accounted for more than 30% of its use of fabric, and the share is still increasing. Because of targeting high-end market, South Korean fabric companies are optimistic about Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, the main production of these high-grade clothing city. He Minggen, executive vice president of Korea Federation of Fiber Industries, said in an interview: "For the forthcoming 14th China International Fabrics & Accessories Fair (Autumn / Winter) Show, the Korean Fiber Association is very concerned and appointed Korea Fabric Import and Export Association Through this exhibition, we can get a more detailed understanding of China's textile fabric development and status quo. In the past, South Korea's exports to China were mainly fiber raw materials. But now China has a strong capacity in this area, South Korean companies are more willing to march into the world on the basis of their own planning capabilities, technological development capabilities and China's production capabilities. "The Korean Fiber Look at Daegu Today, the textile industry knows that there is a place in Korea called Daegu where there really is The representative industry is undoubtedly the research and development of fiber and fiber production enterprises. Its famous ItsMemory (memory fiber), Z-Entra fiber and a variety of fabrics are from here. The memory fibers they produce have excellent stretchability and recoverability, and are superior to other elastic fibers in dyeing and finishing and are highly regarded in the global fiber fabric market. The Korea Institute of Fiber Development established in Daegu is a technology-centric, continuous research and development, high value-added product technology, to promote the two-step R & D and marketing. Unlike other R & D institutes, the Institute is primarily focused on providing relevant technology to the textile industry and enterprises for the ever-changing market. Through the continuous research and development of materials to create new materials, new product samples, new technology services in the textile industry and fiber manufacturers. In the research and development exhibition hall of the Korea Fiber Research and Development Institute, a number of fiber research and development achievements were seen. Characteristics is a butterfly-shaped fiber, which has a full 123-layer fiber structure. This composite fiber is regarded as the pride of R & D products by the Korea Fiber Research and Development Institute. Not only is it widely used nowadays, Won the honor for South Korea fiber research and development. Eicomty fiber is expanded from apparel to industrial fibers, which are high-density fibers spun from one yarn. DODECANE fiber fabric is woven out with a new machine, feel fine, in the color rendering more three-dimensional. DEEPLON is in the fabric surface by adding a unique ingredient, so that weave the fabric weight loss. To be sure, the Korea Institute for Fiber Development has played a catalytic role in the development of Korea's fiber industry. What they are doing is really understanding what kind of fabrics manufacturers want to produce, they are responsible for research and development. And these needs and research results into zero, with advanced technology to promote the development of the entire fiber industry. To look at the difference through fiber To be fair, China and South Korea do not differ much from each other in terms of average textiles, but South Korea is indeed ahead of China in the development and production of functional fabrics such as thermal insulation, waterproofing, radiation protection and other fabrics . In addition, the lagging fabric design has been a bottleneck restricting the development of the domestic garment industry. The data show that China's import and export apparel fabrics in the value of roughly the same. Among them, 51% of imported apparel fabrics belong to feed processing, 45% belong to processing. If only from the number of view, domestic apparel fabrics can fully meet the needs of domestic consumers, but in terms of quality, feel and pattern design and other aspects of the imported fabric is still a big gap. The face of aggressive foreign fabric manufacturers, fabric manufacturers in China but because of low quality, low technological content, lack of innovation and appearance of color varieties emboldened. We must admit that many enterprises are more willing to undertake sample processing instead of investing more capital and time to do market research and development and are unwilling to take more market risks. In addition, because the current fabric manufacturers can not provide small quantities of fixed-dyed products according to the requirements of the apparel manufacturers or designers, this makes the apparel manufacturers and designers prefer to invest in imported fabrics that have a very flexible business model. A colleague clothing company executives said: "The production of high-quality clothing must first have high-quality fabrics, the reason why the domestic garment enterprises difficult to compete with the world-renowned garment enterprises, the fatal weakness is the fabric quality does not go." "My family The door is always open. " Inspired by the Olympic spirit, with the continuous development of China today, I believe there will be more innovative technologies to enrich our ever-developing textile industry. Exchanges and cooperation will help win-win cooperation.
