Set the tone for "15-15"
Gradually moving towards becoming a strong country in the clothing industry
2026 is the starting year of the "15th Five-Year Plan". The Chinese clothing industry is currently in a brand-new stage of transitioning from an industrial manufacturing sector to a creative industry driven by technology and fashion. At the meeting, President Chen Dapeng introduced the economic operation situation of the clothing industry in the first half of 2026, the key work of the association, and the industry development direction during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
President Chen Dapeng pointed out that since the first half of 2026, due to multiple factors such as weak international market demand, intensified geopolitical conflicts, and disruptions in the industrial chain and supply chain, the export of clothing has shown a fluctuating downward trend. Domestic sales, supported by the in-depth implementation of the consumption-stimulating action plan and the gradual improvement of market activity, have maintained a relatively rapid growth. The production has been generally stable, while investment has continued to shrink, and enterprise profits have been severely under pressure. At the same time, diverse demands are also empowering consumption upgrading and industrial innovation. Sub-sectors and fields such as national trends, outdoor sports, and the silver economy have shown positive development, and brand multi-channel layouts have been continuously deepened, fully demonstrating the resilience and vitality of the industry's development.
This year, the China Clothing Association has thoroughly implemented the unified deployment of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the work requirements of the Party committees of national industry associations and chambers of commerce, as well as the Party committee of the China Textile Association. It has set up and practiced the learning and education on establishing and adhering to the correct concept of performance, and carried out the special rectification of the chaos in national industry associations and chambers of commerce as the key work content for the year. It has adhered to the leadership of the Party, optimized service contents, innovated working methods, and continuously advanced the "Standardization Construction Year" work of the association. Through a series of practical measures such as strengthening industry research, optimizing cluster services, promoting technological innovation, facilitating exchanges and cooperation, and building the "China Clothing Industry Resource Platform", it has effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of the clothing industry.
President Chen Dapeng emphasized that during the "14-15" period, the future development of China's clothing industry should be comprehensively considered within the historical process of China's modernization and the profound evolution of the world's century-long changes. By 2035, when China basically achieves socialist modernization, the Chinese clothing industry should basically establish a clothing brand power country and cultivate a number of independent clothing brands with certain global fashion话语权. The "14-15" period is an important five-year period that builds on the past and lays a solid foundation， and the industry should firmly adhere to the development positioning of "technology， fashion， green， and health"， and fully promote the high-quality leapfrog development of independent brands.
