Domestic seamless equipment market is vast

Recently, the reporter conducted a random survey on consumer awareness of seamless underwear in a large clothing store in Beijing. The results show that up to 85% of consumers do not understand seamless underwear and its characteristics; 10% of consumers know it, but do not know what the advantages of seamless underwear are willing to try; only 5% of consumption The person said that bought seamless underwear is not bad, but the price is higher than similar products.

It can be seen that at present, seamless underwear is still relatively "fresh" in the eyes of most domestic consumers, and the seamless underwear market has not yet been truly formed. In the future, with the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, people’s demand for sports underwear and body underwear will gradually increase and their functions and characteristics will be understood. Most domestic consumers once fully embrace seamless underwear products will certainly show a huge market space, which is unmatched by other countries and regions. With the hot sales of seamless underwear products will also drive the full and rapid development of seamless weaving equipment.

Seamless equipment market is vast

The concept of seamless knitting began in the 1980s when the production equipment was mainly used for the industrial production of Socks and knitted garments. Today, the seamless process has achieved great development, and it has been increasingly applied to various aspects of the apparel industry, not only occupying a considerable proportion in the underwear market, but also moving towards sportswear and Swimwear. At present, more than 90% of seamless garments produced and consumed are concentrated in Europe, North America, and so on. Although Asia has only just begun in recent years, it has developed very rapidly.

Patrick Silva Szatkowski, marketing manager of Santoni Italy, believes that in recent years, although China has just started in seamless garments, it has developed rapidly. In recent years, the development of seamless products has gradually shifted from the European market to the Asian market, and China is one of the largest markets. In addition, investors' investment in high-tech equipment with market potential is also a factor in the rapid development of seamless equipment.

According to reports, in 2010, the seamless product investment in the Asian market accounted for more than 80% of the global total, and seamless products in the Chinese market have also been on the rise in recent years. Compared with other knitted products, the product volume has been from 2000. The 2% to 3% increase to about 14% in 2010, and the future development space is also on the rise. It can be said that seamless products have a lot of room for development.

Xu Ning, general secretary of the Yiwu Seamless Weaving Association, introduced that at present, the market share of seamless weaving equipment in China's underwear industry is about 5%. However, from the perspective of development trends, seamless clothing will become an upgraded alternative to traditional textile and apparel products. As far as the underwear market is concerned, the development of seamless underwear is quite mature. At this stage, it extends from the statistical analysis of equipment to the market share of the product, which is about 20% in the world and 10% in the domestic underwear market. However, with the development of the seamless weaving process, the increase in machine capacity, and the shift in consumer spending, especially in the domestic market that is still dominated by seamed products, in the next 3 to 5 years, the underwear market will It is expected that 30% of products will be seamless products.

Technical advantages Obvious operating difficulty requirements

Seamless weaving technology is based on the human body curve and physiological function, relying on computer-assisted programming design styles, using intelligent digital processing and production methods, so that the finished product with a three-dimensional, one-piece modeling structure directly from the machine to produce a technology. Compared with the traditional knitting production methods, the seamless technology has the advantages of reducing labor costs, reducing waste of raw materials by one molding, and flexible changes of the organization, which can weave three-dimensional (3D) three-dimensional structures, which cannot be achieved by tailoring techniques.

According to Patrick Silva Szatkowski, the “seamless” process can directly weave yarn into garments, eliminating many processes, greatly simplifying the production model and reducing production costs. Since the seamless product is not stitched, the appearance of unnecessary sutures and bloated blouses on the side seams, shoulders, armpits, etc. disappears. It has higher fit and comfort than the traditional knitwear, and the garment is no longer subject to The elastic binding due to the presence of sutures. Therefore, the seamless underwear is called “the second skin of the human body” and has the characteristics of comfort, fit, moisture absorption, breathability, fullness, smoothness, elasticity, and soft touch.

Although the advantages of seamless weaving technology are obvious, for most of the companies that have just started in China, it is somewhat "acceptable". Liu Fan, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Meibai Nian Garment Co., Ltd., told reporters that in the United States 100 years mainly produces seamless knitted underwear, the existing seamless underwear knitting machine 78, due to the high precision of the equipment, fine operation, the technical requirements are higher, this Requires more specialized technical workers. If the operation is improper, it is prone to circuit failures. The quantity of defective products and losses is greater than that of traditional clothing enterprises. And all products are single-piece weaving, even if the same cylinder dyeing there will be a certain color, size affected by the environment, the larger the tolerance range.

Xu Ning also said that because knitted garments are more dependent on production equipment, different organizational structures and different style designs cannot be separated from the seamless electronic jacquard knitting machines. Once the equipment fails, production is greatly affected.

High quality is the winner of the future

Although the market prospects for seamless equipment are promising, in the face of the possible disorderly competition and price war in the future market, it is “benevolence, wisdom, intelligence, and wisdom”, but we believe that only high-quality, high-standard equipment will ultimately win in the future. market.

Patrick Silva Szatkowski told reporters that seamless equipment should not only be synonymous with high production, it also represents high quality. Many of the European seamless products represent high quality, soft fabrics and comfortable styles. Many well-known brands produce seamless series of clothing. Domestic enterprises should have such awareness. If they only pursue low-cost and price wars, they will only lose both. The only way is to increase product quality while controlling costs. In order to win the market. Santoni will continue to focus on market information, understand customer needs, provide technical support and proofing services for enterprises, and timely improve machine performance to meet customer needs and jointly improve the industry level.

In this regard, Xu Ning said that for the future may occur, due to the rapid development of seamless knitting equipment and bring disorderly competition, price war. We should look for differentiated and precise development, upgrade process skills, and reduce price squeezes between each other. And to seek technological breakthroughs in equipment, using technology to avoid the current situation of disorderly and low-cost competition, high-quality equipment, high-capacity, high-standard product production capacity, is the only way to highlight the difficulties in disorderly competition.

Although there are obvious differences between domestic equipment and foreign equipment, domestic equipment is promising in the future. Xu Ning put forward his own suggestions and opinions on the future development of domestic seamless equipment manufacturers. Domestic equipment companies should actively carry out technical process learning, develop domestically produced seamless knitting key equipment and core components, and at the same time try to solve the after-sales service of foreign equipment, especially the supply and maintenance of spare parts. In combination with the current low level of general technical quality of workers in China, R&D is more suitable for domestic textile companies. However, it resolutely resisted the phenomenon of producing low quality products in pursuit of immediate profit. There are irreplaceable foreign equipment, some parts can not be produced in the country, especially in high-end areas, foreign equipment has absolute advantages, even in a monopoly. The domestic manufacturers of seamless equipment must correct their attitudes and continue to improve the quality, performance and process design of the equipment in a learning and learning attitude. Never take the extreme price war and push the market to abnormal development.
