A textile industry analyst said that the labor costs in the textile industry are still relatively high compared to other industries. Many companies also indicated that the proportion of labor costs in the total costs has increased from 20%-30% several years ago to 50%-60% and there is still a trend of continuous increase.
It can be seen that the overall prospects of the textile industry are positive, and the industry is rapidly developing. However, the profit margin is low mainly due to high costs, including labor costs, raw material costs, equipment procurement, and operating costs, all of which have increased across the board, ultimately leading to various price increases in yarn, greige fabric, and finished fabric. Among them, the main reason is the year-on-year increase in labor costs.
In 2020, the annual average wage of non-private urban employees was 97,379 yuan, a 7.6% increase over the previous year, and a real increase of 5.2% after deducting price factors. The annual average wage of employees in private urban units was 57,727 yuan, a 7.7% increase over the previous year, and a real increase of 5.3% after deducting price factors. Although the growth rate has slowed compared to previous years, the annual average wage of urban employees still maintains growth.
Currently, there is a shift in employment trends, and many young people are not willing to work in traditional manufacturing workshops and factories. Additionally, the textile industry itself has conditions such as noise, pollution, and temperature, which have resulted in fewer and fewer talents willing to stay in textile production enterprises. Textile companies are facing difficulties in recruiting personnel and high labor costs, and in order to retain workers, they have to increase wages year by year.
Textile enterprises may be able to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs through intelligent means. By enhancing the level of mechanical automation in textile industry production equipment, it is possible to achieve fully automated production, intelligent management, and warehousing handling on the assembly line, thereby reducing costs associated with assembly line workers, warehousing handling, and management.
The substitution of machines for a portion of the labor force will be a major trend in the textile industry going forward. The future success of manufacturing industries will undoubtedly rely on effectively utilizing intelligent technologies. In fact, currently, various aspects of the textile industry can be relieved of the burden on human labor and efficiency can be enhanced through the use of machines.
