Notably, the country’s fibre and yarn export alone reached 906 million USD in the first quarter of 2018. Prior to 2000, the spinning sector’s production scale reached only 1 million spindles but its capacity was raised to 3.7 million spindles in 2007 and 7 million spindles at present.

Denim Premiere Vision will take place in France, May 23 to 24, 2018.
The show will host 72 exhibitors, of whom 50 per cent are weavers, including returning companies.
Denim PV–just like the main Premiere Vision’s show and organization–will be focused on a strong business-driven model. This means that the show’s aim is to support exhibitors and visitors in generating turnover and increasing their sales. On the other side, it will offer a stronger offer in terms of trend analysis as it’s involving protagonists of the scene–people who count, who buy and trendsetters.
Premiere Vision has always been recognized for its strong ability in discovering and informing about new trends, while doing it differently from others.
The show has been redesigned in order to present an easier and more effective layout that can better help recognizing its very segmented offer in a clear, immediate and easy-to-read way. The show has been given more uniformity in layout and booths’ style as companies are expected to show product, not marketing.
Experts will describe the future evolution of the denim, fashion and consumer scene. There will be three fashion seminars.
The show will host a Denim Smart Square Area, a space dedicated to guiding brands in their search for transparency and responsible sourcing.
The prospect of an escalating trade war between the US and China has rattled financial markets and alarmed many businesses.
By driving up prices and killing sales, the tariffs would wipe out 24,000 jobs at companies that make chemicals and the companies that use them.
The US has long accused China of predatory business practices that rob American jobs and swell Washington's trade deficit with Beijing.
Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency on a vow to strike a much tougher trade stance than his recent predecessors, who, he argued, had agreed to deals that gave an unfair advantage to America's competitors. The president has pointed to the US trade deficit as a sign of economic weakness caused by disastrous agreements and abusive behavior by China and other countries.
He has proposed tariffs on Chinese imports to punish China for forcing American companies to hand over technology in exchange for access to China's vast market. China fired back by targeting American products, including soybeans and small aircraft, for potential retaliatory tariffs.
However the president has probably realized a trade war would hurt some of his staunchest supporters — farmers in the American heartland who rely on exports. It might also hurt his Republican Party in the November congressional elections. He's worried about the mid term and the impact of his trade policy on farmers.

Foursource is a digital matching platform that brings textile producers and buyers (purchasers) at sports brands and fashion labels together – in a digital marketplace.
Digitization encompasses the entire value chain in the sports textile industry. In most cases, however, only e-commerce, marketing, or the digitization of production are discussed. One area of the supply chain that is often left out is sourcing i.e. textile procurement. Here too digital solutions can bring competitive advantages.
A sourcing platform like Foursource has many benefits for buyers. The targeted search for new manufacturers is much easier thanks to the matching function and filter options. For example, it is possible to source for a specific country. Sports fashion brands can use the marketplace to see where there’s free capacity, in stock material, for example.
Buyers can better manage their suppliers. They can also send requests for quotations to new or existing manufacturers. Brand purchasers get a much better overview of the other services offered by their existing manufacturers, right down to the list of machines. Under certain circumstances, this could create further cooperation and leeway for price negotiations and better logistics and transport options for purchasers.
Textile manufacturers can indicate which brands they’ve worked for on the Foursource platform. Certificates can also be uploaded.
