Overview and Current Status of the Sewing Machinery Industry

The sewing machinery industry is one of the important industries in China's light industry, which can be divided into two major categories: consumer goods (household) and production materials (industrial). Household sewing machinery includes ordinary (traditional household sewing machines) and multi-functional household sewing machines (new generation of household sewing machines), household sergers, overlock machines, household knitting machines, household small embroidery machines, etc.; industrial sewing machinery includes various sewing machinery, embroidery equipment, CAD/CAM pattern making systems, cutting machinery, ironing machinery, finishing equipment and packaging machinery, etc.

China has become a global production base for sewing machinery.

After more than 30 years of development, China's sewing machinery industry has become a major production base for industrial sewing machines in the world. A complete industrial chain has been formed, including machine shell casting, heat treatment, rough and fine processing of parts, complete machine assembly, product packaging and transportation. Through continuous investment and research, the backbone enterprises in the industry now have strong process technology levels, design and development capabilities, and a relatively complete quality management system. China's sewing equipment manufacturing enterprises are now able to mass produce industrial sewing equipment with a high cost performance, high technical content, and good quality.

Increased Industry Concentration

With the gradual deepening of industry restructuring and transformation, on the one hand, downstream users pay more attention to the quality, brand, price, and service of the equipment, promoting the emergence of backbone enterprises in the industry; on the other hand, with the increasing difficulty in recruiting workers, the voice of workers choosing enterprises and even sewing equipment brands for employment is rapidly increasing. The advantages of backbone enterprises in terms of quality, brand, technology, and service have a great impact on downstream industries, which has jointly driven market orders to concentrate on advantageous backbone enterprises in the industry, and the trend of increasing industry concentration is obvious.

Recommendation

A delegation from the China Sewing Association traveled to Malaysia for an exchange and inspection visit.
