Viscose Fiber Industry In China To Cope With The New International Economic Environment Countermeasures

The development of the chemical fiber industry of our country began from the viscose fiber. The amount of production of the viscose fiber of our country accounts for 7%-8% of total output of chemical fiber of our country, and accounts for a quarter of the whole world viscose fiber general quantity. On later of the fifties of last century, the viscose fiber of our country began to produce formally. Now there are more than 40 enterprises of viscose fiber in all. At present, the average produces scale of long thread is 8,000 tons per year, and that is 14,000 tons of short thread. Limited by development level of economy, there is certain disparity between the development level of viscose fiber and the most advanced level. And there are such problems as unreasonable capital structure, production technology out of date, the lower labor productivity, the higher cost relatively, the weaker competition, the serious threat toenvironment, etc.After China joins WTO, the relation between the chemical fiber industry andgreat environment of international economy is closer. Chemical fiber products and import duty of raw materials will progressively decrease, and the non-tariff trade barriers will gradual cancel, as will help to dispel the affecting factor of smuggle, reduce the import cost of goods, raise the competitiveness of the products. The decrease of import duty of chemical fiber equipments, instrument and apparatus will help chemical fiber enterprises to reduce equipment investment and operation cost, shorten the period of technology innovation and products development. The unlocking of service trade will help enterprises to increase finance channels, and reduce the operation cost. The export of fabrics of our country will increase comparatively fast under wider international demands, as increases the demand for the chemical fiber. Meanwhile, the present international economic environment brings the adverse effect to chemical fiber industry of our country too, for example, products imported, especially some substitute of raw materials for the textile of the chemical fiber made a new impact to the chemical fiber industry of our country, and have aggravated the competition degree of the chemical fiber market.The international growth of viscose fiber is comparatively slow. In the following several years it will be shifted from the developed country to the developing country. With the growth of population and the improvement of consuming level, the...
