Over the past two years, China's printing and dyeing industry has continued to eliminate backward production capacity trend, and the work of clearing backward production capacity has gradually deepened throughout the country. Some enterprises have begun to withdraw actively or passively. Some enterprises have begun to relocate, restructure and upgrade technology. China's overall printing and dyeing capacity continues to decline.
Pollution prevention and control is 2018-ldquo; one of the three major battles-rdquo; at the same time, 2018 is also the intensive landing period of China's environmental protection policy. Several heavy environmental protection policies, such as the Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China, the Reform Plan of the Compensation System for Eco-environmental Damage and the newly revised Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, came into force in 2018.
With the implementation of many environmental protection policies, in recent years, the environmental protection supervision of printing and dyeing industry has been significantly enhanced. The Central Environmental Protection Inspection Team has sent inspectors many times, and the sword finger polluting enterprises. At the same time, the environmental protection supervision at provincial and municipal levels has begun to normalize gradually. In addition, the obsolescence of backward process and equipment required by the Catalogue of Guidance for Industrial Structure Adjustment and the elimination of equipment over the service life are always in progress. At the same time, the continuous tightening of environmental protection policies has reduced the living space of some low-end dyeing plants.
In 2018, the domestic printing and dyeing production capacity was 65 billion meters, down 3.27% from the same period in 2011, down 17.41% from the same period in 2011.

At the present stage, the global economic growth slows down and the trend of industry operation turns to be weak. The negative effects caused by overcapacity of textile printing and dyeing gradually appear. The profit decline driven by lower printing and dyeing processing fees begins to compress the living space of small and medium-sized enterprises in an all-round way. Under the guidance of the policy of capacity removal, the printing and dyeing industry also began to gradually upgrade its industrial structure, starting from & ldquo; quantity expansion & rdquo; to & ldquo; quality improvement & rdquo;. Printing and dyeing enterprises gradually shrink low-end walking orders, turning to the development of high-end fabrics, the overall output of the industry began to decline.
In 2018, the domestic output of dyeing and printing cloth was 47.8 billion meters, down 9.47% from the same period in 2011, down 19.39% from the same period in 2011.

It is noteworthy that the overall starting rate of China's printing and dyeing industry in 2018 is significantly lower than that in the same period in 2017. The annual starting rate of China's printing and dyeing industry in 2018 is 73.54%, which is 7.27 percentage points lower than that in the same period last year.
On the one hand, because the printing and dyeing industry to lag behind productivity, leading to a decline in the effective capacity of the industry, production capacity decline restricts the increase of industry output; on the other hand, because the environmental protection efforts continue to increase in 2018, part of the time is in a state of shutdown and production restriction, in the production and dyeing plant can not be fully released to start work.
In addition, due to the low market demand increment in the year, resulting in poor expectations of future printing and dyeing demand, downstream customer stock significantly reduced. The main producing areas of printing and dyeing are mdash; & mdash; and the starting load of printing and dyeing in East China has decreased greatly. The main reason is that in East China, such as Zhejiang and Jiangsu, ministerial, provincial and municipal environmental protection supervision actions are concentrated, and the printing and dyeing enterprises in the region are affected more obviously.

In 2019, the impact of environmental factors on the printing and dyeing industry is still gradually increasing. Many small and medium-sized dyeing and dyeing factories have seen a significant increase in costs after the tightening of environmental protection. In the past years, the market share which relies on low prices and low profit margins to make profits began to shrink gradually. Printing and dyeing enterprises also began to gradually adjust their enterprise planning and strategic thinking. Reducing the development of low-end fabrics and gradually starting to compete in the middle and high-end fabrics market, this trend has become one of the obvious development directions of the printing and dyeing industry in recent years.
Looking forward to 2019, the impact of production strategy adjustment on the decline of industry output will be gradually reduced, while the reverse effect of downstream just need on low-end fabrics in printing and dyeing industry will begin to appear, and the output of low-end fabrics may rise. In terms of terminal demand, the operation of garment and home textile industry is weakening obviously. At this stage, the external macro-environment and domestic demand of the industry are difficult to be optimistic.
In 2019, terminal industry growth is expected to be low. As an intermediate link of textile industry, the actual market demand of printing and dyeing industry mainly depends on the operation of terminal apparel and home textile industry.
Overall, there is little room for demand increment in the printing and dyeing industry in 2019. In the case of maintaining the terminal just needed, the upgrading and adjustment of the product structure of domestic printing and dyeing enterprises will continue to lead to the decline of the total output of the industry.
