Raw materials are an important foundation for the production of cotton textile enterprises. Their costs, supply, and relevant policies all have a crucial impact on the operation, competitive landscape, profit situation, and transformation and development of enterprises. Ensuring the supply of raw materials is an important task for the industry to cope with the current pressure.

To deeply analyze the industry situation, systematically summarize the previous work, accurately grasp the new challenges and opportunities faced by the cotton textile raw material market and the operation of the industrial chain, jointly discuss countermeasures, and effectively ensure the security, stability and resilience improvement of China's cotton textile industrial chain and supply chain, on August 14th, the 2025 China Cotton Textile Association Raw Material Industrial Chain Branch Conference was held in Qingdao.

This meeting aims to build consensus and overcome difficulties together. Two agendas have been set. The first one is that the president of the Raw Materials Industry Chain Branch will deliver the 2025 work report of the branch, systematically reporting the main achievements and progress of the past year. Second, members of the raw materials Industry Chain Branch and enterprise representatives conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges on core topics such as the current market situation, the evolution of supply and demand patterns, and future industry development trends.

Dong Kuiyong, president of the China Cotton Textile Association, Zhao Mingxia, Director of the International Trade Office of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, Jing Shenquan, President and vice President of the China Cotton Textile Association, Wei Gangmin, vice president of the China Cotton Textile Association, president of the Raw Materials Industry Chain Branch and chairman of Henan Tongzhou Cotton Industry Co., LTD. Yang Baofu, the general manager of the National Cotton Trading Market and the president of the Qingdao West Coast New Area Cotton Association, as well as representatives from member units of the Raw material industry Chain Branch and some enterprises in the industry, attended this meeting.

The meeting was presided over by Xu Xiaoyuan, the deputy secretary-general of the China Cotton Textile Association and the secretary-general of the Raw Materials Industry Chain Branch.

At the meeting, Jing Shenquan, vice president of the China Cotton Textile Association, delivered a welcoming speech. He said that since the beginning of this year, due to the combined impact of weak demand and the complex and volatile international foreign trade environment, competition in both domestic and international markets has continued to intensify, and the textile industry as a whole has been under significant pressure. Especially for the vast number of cotton textile enterprises, the operating pressure has generally increased. Some small and medium-sized enterprises and even some large enterprises with a long history are all facing severe challenges. Against this backdrop, as a platform for the cotton textile industry to enhance raw material security and market information communication and exchange, the raw material industry Chain Branch has played an increasingly prominent role. We look forward to everyone speaking freely based on their own practices and professional perspectives, contributing insightful views, providing valuable decision-making references for the industry to address current challenges and clarify future directions, and laying a solid foundation for the branch's next stage of work.
