Benefiting from the accelerated pace of enterprise transformation, the proportion of high-yarn yarns increased, the production and sales of high value-added fabrics were better, and the benefits of Hubei textile industry achieved steady growth. On February 1st, it was learned from the Provincial Department of Economics and Information that in 2018 Hubei textile and garment industry showed an “acceleration” development trend.

        Affected by many factors, since 2011, the garment and home textile industry has entered the stage of inventory adjustment. In the past, problems such as extensive expansion and high industry inventory have been highlighted.
