Exports are expected to increase steadily this year

Looking forward to 2011, the international and domestic economic situation will continue to improve, and the National Plan for Adjusting and Revitalizing the Textile Industry proposes to “stabilize and expand the international market” and “accelerate the development of medical textile materials and products such as surgical gowns, isolation garments, and bionic organs. Apply targets and tasks such as breakthroughs in the industrialization of scientific and technological breakthroughs such as anti-microbial, anti-blood and anti-alcoholic surgical gowns and isolation suits, and give corresponding policy support. 2011 is the final of the planning period. In one year, the downstream medical dressing industry will benefit from it, and it will actively promote the healthy development and export of domestic industries. At the same time, we must also see that there are still many problems affecting the sustained and healthy development of medical dressings, such as the large number of small and medium-sized medical dressings exported, the dependence of the export market on Europe and the United States, the structure of export products on the low end, the low price of export prices, and the lack of self-owned brands. The transformation and upgrading is the fundamental way out for the stable growth of China's medical dressing exports. For enterprises, qualified enterprises of the upper scale should increase their financial and human resources investment, develop high-end dressings and new products, and at the same time take an active part in international competition with the advantage of China’s labor cost, and strive to have a place in the international high-end dressing market; We should continue to maintain the stability, continuity, and predictability of current export policies, increase support for industry transformation and upgrading policies, and give the industry certain transformation time and space.
