Keqiao, Zhejiang: The Largest Textile City In Asia

Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province has a well-known "gold card" of Asia's largest textile city. On October 26, a native of Keqiao, who came out of the new product launch venue of the 10th Keqiao fashion week, said, "I don't know Keqiao any more. It's becoming more and more metropolitan, grand and fashionable."

At this time, the fourth world cloth merchants conference was held in Keqiao. In the next four days, there were nearly 20 press conferences on textile fabrics, fashion design and raw material innovation. With cloth as the medium, Keqiao chemical fiber textile industry warms and beautifies global residents.

In 2020, the output of chemical fiber in the region will be 2.5173 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 20.2%; Printing and dyeing cloth was 19.148 billion meters, an increase of 4.3% over the same period last year, equivalent to 2.53 meters of cloth printed and dyed per capita in the world. However, behind this bright industry, once every village was in charge of weaving, and there were dyers and dyers in every village, which once brought a severe test to the local ecological environment.

In the "century test" of energy conservation and emission reduction, carbon compliance, carbon neutralization and other development, Kecheng district has broken the ranks of textile printing and dyeing enterprises with high energy consumption and high pollution, and implemented the development strategy of "integrating and gathering a batch, withdrawing and eliminating a batch, and merging and reorganizing a batch", which has upgraded 212 printing and dyeing enterprises in the whole district to 108, It will move to the core area of Binhai Industrial Park, blue printing fashion Town, and comprehensively promote the recycling transformation of printing and dyeing industry with the goal of green high-end and world leading.

After the promotion of agglomeration, the printing and dyeing enterprises in the region have saved 5205 mu of land and saved 78.37 million tons of water every year. The average tax revenue per mu of printing and dyeing industry has increased from 75000 yuan / mu before agglomeration to 287700 yuan / mu now. At the same time, focusing on the "market + base" agglomeration advantage and large textile inheritance advantage of Asia's largest light and Textile City, the company introduced a number of green fiber and functional fiber enterprises such as China textile green fiber and hengming chemical fiber, and introduced a number of high-end textile printing and dyeing machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises such as Japan Dongshen, Hengtian Lixin, Dutch stok, and Wanjia trade, and initially formed new textile materials, high-end weaving, and Textile printing and dyeing intelligent machinery and equipment manufacturing, artificial intelligence, energy conservation and environmental protection and other emerging industries develop simultaneously.

At the Keqiao 2021 Forum on the sustainable development of global textile industry, industry representatives from more than 60 countries and regions, including China, France, Brazil, India, Vietnam, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Italy, made suggestions on the themes of green transformation, digital upgrading and international cooperation, and jointly described the future of integrated development of global textile industry.

Keqiao has become a sample of promoting digital transformation and intelligent remodeling of textile industry in Zhejiang Province. Zhu Congjiu, vice governor of Zhejiang provincial government, said that in 2020, the total industrial output value of textile and garment enterprises above Designated Size in Zhejiang Province will reach 928.4 billion, ranking first in China; The export volume of textiles and clothing reached 491.2 billion yuan, ranking first in China. The province has three industrial clusters over 50 billion, including chemical fiber, Keqiao Textile and Tongxiang nylon filament, and has built 12 national textile and garment creative design pilot parks.

According to Zhu Congjiu, during the "14th five year plan" period, Zhejiang will vigorously develop new business forms and modes of foreign trade. Guided by digital reform and "double carbon" strategy, Zhejiang will strive to promote the deep integration of big data, artificial intelligence and textile industry, develop towards high-end, green and international development, and build a world-class modern textile advanced manufacturing industry cluster.
