The US Textile Industry Is Again Making A High-Profile Voice, Making China The 2025 Predicament.

The revolutionary fiber and textile Innovation and manufacturing center, led by the US Department of defense DoD, was formally established in December 2015 to improve textile materials to the national level.

This news not only makes the military fans curious, but also worries the senior textile experts in China. There are few textile spinning machines in China made in 2025.

American high profile and China's failure

All walks of life in the United States never forget what American soldiers wear.

China's textile spinning machine industry, which was once launched in 60s, has almost been forgotten by the Chinese people.

In addition to the US, the European Union, Germany and Japan began to pform ten years ago.

Germany accounts for 70% of the high-end textile market in the industry. It is a new high-tech city in Germany. But 100 years old spinning machine enterprises still exist and continue to maintain the leading level in the world. The price of similar machines is 5 times that of China.

In the United States, textile machinery accounts for 50% of the carpet market. A tufting machine uses 2200 servomotors. MIT and Boeing are also developing textile machines.

In China, the textile and textile machinery industry that was once brilliant has now been marginalized.

The plight of China's textile machinery industry

In terms of scale, China was in the 12th Five-Year.

The whole industry directly employs more than 20 million of the population, and the textile industry uses nearly 9 million tons of domestic natural fiber, which is directly related to the livelihoods of at least 100 million farmers.

China's textile industry has won the position of "the largest textile country" in the world.

In terms of market share, the domestic market share of domestic textile machinery is more than 70%.

Everything seems pretty good.

However, domestic textile equipment is still concentrated on conventional fiber processing equipment.

The new high-end textile equipment, such as refinement, high-speed, energy saving, consumption and functionalization, is still mainly imported. Textile machinery design and manufacturing integration, modularization, automation, and information technology are still very common.

In fact, if we can not vigorously develop materials and equipment for the future, the textile industry will not only lag behind the basic industries, but also seriously drag the military industry and high-tech industries.

Because we are unable to provide high-performance carbon fiber and 3D looms.

But why does Boeing develop textile machinery, which is closely related to the extensive use of aircraft composites.

The progress of domestic large aircraft is seriously delayed, and it is also closely related to the lack of textile machinery capability.

The US Department of defense is pushing the textile industry again.

As the most important strategy for us re industrialization, NNMI, the national network innovation center, is undoubtedly the most beneficial promoter.

At present, 10 NNMI have been established in various states of the United States, and the latest project is the textile, namely, "revolutionary fiber and textile Innovation and manufacturing research institute" RFTMII (RevolutionaryFibersandTextilesInstituteforManufacturingInnovation).

Do not say that China's manufacturing industry, which is a senior member of the domestic textile industry, is often confused about the establishment of the revolutionary fiber and textile Innovation and manufacturing Institute in the United States.

The project will support $150 million in new research and development of new fibers and fabrics, including $75 million in public investment and over $75 million in private investment. The focus will be on the development of "research, originality and commercialization of special properties".

In fact, the military has long favored the textile industry.

In 2012, the US Department of defense commissioned its senior project research bureau, DAPRA, to lead an unmanned automatic sewing project.

This is a completely new automatic sewing technology. It can control the sewing machine by computer, and can move the cloth accurately and accurately through the needle. Under normal circumstances, this is done by human hands and eyesight.

This is a new technology invented by SoftWeare, an automatic sewing technology company from Georgia, which is responsible for robot programming instead of manual work.

Early The Pentagon has been automatic.

The company has provided a lot of money.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency optimistically believes that factories in the United States will soon be automated and "produce garments without direct labor force".

The Ministry of defense expects that this can be used to replace the work of fifty thousand people.

In other words, China has been kicked out of the US apparel industry.

This is not the only bad news.

Considering the needs of the US Army's actual combat, the goal of the US revolutionary fiber fabric innovation center is to create an innovative "ecosystem" supporting the end to end, in addition to upgrading the manufacturing capacity and scale manufacturing process of the US, and fully supports the soldier's ability of single soldier networking in various hostile environments.

Soft

It turned into an icy weapon to avoid bloodshed and kill enemies at the same time.

However, at home, when there is a huge capacity surplus in civilian consumer goods, textile machinery will not be able to form a new technological core as soon as possible, which will make the textile industry in a difficult position.

Low end industries are struggling, driven by high-end demand, and textile is fading.

If no new light source can be found, the residual light will eventually disappear.
