As high-tech products such as "New Three Items" led the optimization of China's foreign trade structure, the textile machinery industry performed particularly well, becoming a vivid illustration of the transformation of "Made in China" towards new and better standards. 

According to customs data, from January to September in 2025, China's export value of textile machinery reached 4.516 billion US dollars, increasing by 35.33% compared to the previous year. The growth rate was much higher than that of imports. From the perspective of product structure, the exports of all seven types of textile machinery products increased comprehensively. Among them, the growth rates of weaving, knitting, and non-woven fabric machinery were the most significant. For just the three types of products - shuttle looms, jet looms, and jet water looms - the export volumes increased by 45.50%, 300.65%, and 143.92% respectively. 

Behind the rapid growth is the enterprises' deep commitment to technological innovation and precise market expansion. Zhengfeng Machinery independently developed a high-speed water-jet non-woven fabric production line which was put into operation in Uzbekistan, integrating automatic packaging and water reuse systems; Qingdao Hongda's intelligent carding machine has been exported to 30 countries and regions around the world; Wuyang Textile Machinery customized a fully formed warp knitting machine for Turkey, equipped with high-temperature adaptation components, which can operate stably in an extreme 40℃ environment. Its unique 15-minute garment technology has become a "technical card" in the international market. 

The vitality of regional industrial clusters is booming. In the first 10 months of 2025, textile machinery and its components in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, achieved an export volume of 1.32 billion yuan, an increase of 41.1% year-on-year. They covered 110 countries and regions around the world, with exports to countries participating in the "Belt and Road Initiative" accounting for a significant proportion. Private enterprises contributed 87.1% of the export volume, demonstrating the market resilience of the private economy. 

Downstream textile and clothing products are simultaneously upgrading towards higher-end and greener standards. Green underwear made from recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics has gained recognition in the European market; silk pajamas that combine plant dyeing and fragrance treatment technologies have won the favor of overseas customers with over a hundred new designs each year. 

Looking ahead, challenges such as the slowdown of global trade growth and geopolitical uncertainties still exist. However, the deepening of the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the growth of green and intelligent consumption demands have provided new opportunities for the industry. China's textile industry is sailing with technological innovation as its sail and market demand as its rudder, moving steadily forward in the global trade wave and continuously writing a new chapter of high-quality development.
