Highlight data analysis

Maintaining advantages in the production-oriented market & facing challenges in the sales-oriented markets

From the perspective of circulation level， from January to December 2018， the turnover of 29 production-oriented markets was 1，101.350 billion yuan， a year-on-year increase of 7.74%； the turnover of 16 sales-oriented markets was 107.994 billion yuan， a year-on-year decrease of 4.20%. The manufacturingtype markets rely on the strong industrial base of industrial clusters， giving full play to the advantages of the primary source of goods， improving the efficiency of the industrial chain， advancing the level of original design， and continuously achieving medium- and highspeed growth. In recent years， the flattening of traffic and the flattening of channels have led to an increasingly obvious trend of “disintermediation” in the field of textile and apparel circulation. The market for distribution and sales， which is based on the geographical advantages of extending in all directions， is facing a huge test， and it is urgent to reshape the new position and establish new advantages.
