Looking ahead to 2020， the COVID-19 pandemic will pose severe challenges to the global economy. In the first half of 2020， world economic growth will slow sharply， and the support for market demand recovery will weaken， and international market demand will further decline. The pandemic has impacted Chinas economic development and economic growth in the short term， increasing downward pressure on the economy throughout the year， but it will not change the fundamental trend of Chinas longterm economic improvement. From the perspective of the domestic and international macroeconomic environment， the development of the dyeing and printing industry is facing a grim situation. There is a greater pressure to continue stable operation， and the task of transformation and development is still arduous.
