By building a public service platform in the base, encouraging enterprises in the base to set up design centers, proofing centers, exhibition centers and testing centers, etc., to further enhance the international competitiveness and innovation ability of Shanghai's clothing and apparel exports, and accelerate the cultivation of a number of export brand products.

Textile and clothing

It has always been an important traditional export commodity in Shanghai, ranking second only after IT products.

Data show that in 2009, Shanghai's textile and apparel exports totaled 15 billion 266 million US dollars, accounting for 10.76% of the total export volume of the city.

At the same time, textile and clothing is also one of Shanghai's most independent export brands, which have independent innovation ability and brand advantage. The top fourteen enterprises of Shanghai's textile and garment export have developed 18 independent brands, and the number of patents and inventions of characteristic industries exceeds 200.

However, with the improvement of business cost in Shanghai in recent years, the original profit margins of textile enterprises with OEM (OEM) as the main mode of development are becoming smaller and smaller, and the production capacity of textile and clothing has gradually shifted to neighboring provinces and cities, and so on. This forced the enterprises to extend to the industrial chain dominated by design and manufacture (ODM) and private brand production (OBM).

And we need to rely on the "tug of war" development of leading enterprises to further improve the grade and quality of textile and clothing export products, and promote the upgrading of Shanghai textile industry from quantitative to qualitative change.

It is reported that Shanghai Hongqiao garment and apparel export innovation base came into being under this background.

Business reporter yesterday learned that the base will set up a public service platform for clothing and apparel, including fabric library, excipient library, information center, etc., to provide the latest public service at home and abroad, online online enquiries, fashion and fashion news release and library information resources, and will also promote the construction of design centers, R & D centers, proofing centers and exhibition centers.
