The May Global Textile Survey released by the International Textile Federation (ITMF) shows that the global textile business is in a continuing state of stagnation. In this survey, more companies said that the current business is "relatively satisfied", so the global textile business situation has improved slightly. On the other hand, textile business expectations have not improved for a year, indicating that the textile industry is only optimistic rather than substantial improvement. At present, the lack of orders and high costs are affecting profits throughout the textile supply chain.

The survey shows a slight improvement in the balance of good and poor new orders, and an upward trend in expectations for orders over the next six months. Since the summer of 2023, the backlog of orders has been fluctuating around 2 months, increasing slightly from 1.9 months in March 2024 to 2.1 months in May, but it does not yet indicate that the order volume is on the rise. According to the survey, the average opening rate of global textile companies declined from a peak of 80% at the end of 2021 to a slight increase to 71% in May this year. At the same time, companies said they expected the opening rate to improve over the next six months.
