1、 Industrial adjustment changes silk production pattern

1. Gradient transfer of cocoon silk production

In terms of total volume, developing countries such as China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. have developed rapidly, while developed countries such as Italy, France, Japan, South Korea, etc. have declined sharply.

2. Silk production tends to multipolarization

There are 65 countries regions with silk production in the world, of which nearly 40 have a certain scale, about 10 occupy a certain position in the world silk production. As a large-scale Chinese silk industry in the world, the annual output of cocoons reaches 440000 tons, which once reached 700000 tons in one year, accounting for about 70% of the world's total output. With the rapid development of cocoon silk production, India has replaced Japan as the second largest silk producer in the world. Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Malaysia other countries also attach great importance to the investment of silk industry, have taken a series of measures to promote the development of domestic silk industry.

2、 Science technology innovation guide silk consumption trend

1. Intensive production technology

Japanese researchers have developed aseptic silk production technology, developed low-cost artificial feed with bean curd residue as the main component, which has broken the pattern of silk production based on seasons for thousands of years, the cocoon produced has the advantages of good whiteness, high silk yield direct silk reeling. At the same time, the "clone silkworm", gene transplant technology, new protein material, artificial spinning so on, which are produced by advanced technology in the world, emerge in endlessly, will replace the traditional cocoon production mode.

In terms of industrial production, Japan, Germany, Italy, South Korea other developed countries take advantage of their comprehensive scientific technological advantages to continuously innovate in the deep processing technology of silk products take a leading position in the international market. The United States, Switzerland, Spain other countries have strong strength in the development of filament fiber raw materials silk technology equipment, leading the development trend of new silk technology in the 21st century. In many countries, in addition to retaining part of the traditional process, the production process is constantly evolving to the technology intensive direction, to the direction of automation, high-speed, electronic development.

2. Diversified silk products

The development trend of new silk technology in the world is to develop in the fields of clothing industry, decoration, military, cosmetics medical treatment. Japan, Italy, the United States other advanced silk producing countries have made significant breakthroughs in the research of silk comprehensive utilization. For example, the application development of silk in food, cosmetics, medicine other fields are in a leading position. Japan also uses cocoons silk to develop car decoration materials, contact lenses, artificial skin, etc. At the same time, the combination of silk, rayon synthetic fiber, blending coating of various raw materials, make the fiber more colorful.

3. Fashionable wearing performance

Silk products are closely related to fashion trends in fabric, texture, pattern style. The newly developed elastic fiber, tencei fiber, real silk invisible printing silk art all represent the trend of fashion, fashion environmental protection in the silk industry. For example, the knitwear blended with silk cashmere has gained great popularity in the international market. The blended silk cashmere has greatly improved the wearing function of knitted fashion become a new fashion favorite favored by customers in Western Europe North America. Major breakthroughs have been made in the research development of new functional silk fabrics, which conforms to the development trend of diversified, composite fashionable silk products in the international market promotes the upgrading of silk products.

3、 Occupy market intensify silk trade competition

With the increase of world population, adjustment of silk industrial structure innovation of science technology, as well as the deepening of people's understanding of natural silk products, silk consumption will continue to grow steadily. However, with the global economic integration China's accession to the WTO, the silk market competition will become increasingly fierce.

1. Silk trade barrier restricts fair competition

the perspective of the whole textile industry, the trade barriers of silk export are relatively few, the export environment is relatively loose, but it has also been restricted by quotas, tariffs other trade barriers. At the same time, due to the influence of textile trade barriers, the export of cross products interwoven with silk, cotton, hemp other textile raw materials is greatly restricted. The European Union the United States are the main markets of Chinese silk. In order to resist a large number of low-cost imports of Chinese silk silk clothing avoid the impact on the silk circulation industry, the European Union the United States began to impose quota restrictions on Chinese silk clothing imports in 1994. Since 1998, although some quotas for Chinese silk products have been cancelled in Europe the United States, certain restrictions have still been implemented. In order to protect its own interests, Japan sets the most restrictions on the import of Chinese silk products. With the popularity of silk, linen, cotton other blended fabrics in the international market, the impact of textile quota restrictions on the expansion of silk clothing products market space is more more obvious.

2. Countries have occupied the International Silk Market

Silk consumption spreads all over the world. China Brazil are the main export suppliers of cocoons raw silk in the world silk market. China, Japan, South Korea, India Thailand are the main export suppliers of silk fabrics in the world. China, Japan South Korea are also the main export suppliers of silk clothing in the world silk market. France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland Hong Kong, China have almost no silk industry, mainly through the import of raw silk silk other raw materials after deep processing to supply domestic foreign consumption. The United States, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia some countries in North America directly import silk products for domestic consumption. With the recovery growth of the world economy, all countries are aiming at the global silk market striving to expand the export of domestic silk products. The rise development of silk producing countries such as India Vietnam
