A rebound in trade between China and Afghanistan suggests that the market for seamless pipe may also expand

Forty-five tons of pine nuts from Afghanistan arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport in China on The night of November 1, media reported On Nov. 2. The trade between China and Arab countries has also attracted great attention from the international community. Some media said that this is the first indicator of China contribution to Afghanistan recovery.

It is reported that pine nuts are an important source of finance for Afghan farmers and local governments, and the re-launch of the China-Afghanistan "Pine nut Air Corridor" is crucial to The economic development of Afghanistan. At the end of October, when Chinese and Arab representatives held talks in Qatar, Manouchehr Mottaki, acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan interim government, presented a pine nut to Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. After the meeting, the Taliban issued a statement, saying that China supports the Taliban government great achievements in good governance and security in the past two months. China has pledged to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.

It was the first export of pine nuts to China since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August, the report said. Taliban interim government spokesman Bilal Karimi said the export of pine nuts is the result of extensive discussions between Afghanistan and China recently, and progress is expected in other areas of bilateral trade in the coming days. "The export of pine nuts marks a good new beginning of bilateral relations," he said.

China ambassador to Afghanistan, Wang Yu, posted on social media that the two countries have overcome various difficulties to complete the export of goods despite restrictions on international cargo shipments to Afghanistan. "The little pine nuts have brought happiness to the Afghan people and delicious food to the Chinese people, and the pine nuts Air Corridor is an important bond of friendship between our two countries." Wang yu also noted that the project, which will continue in the coming months, is expected to transport tens of thousands of tons of pine nuts into China and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in income for Afghan farmers.

It is worth mentioning that For Afghanistan, a war-torn neighbor, China has always made it clear that it will do its utmost to help its peaceful reconstruction. Unlike some other countries that just talk the talk, China has a history of walking the walk. In early September, China said it had decided to urgently provide 200 million yuan worth of food, winter supplies, vaccines and medicines to meet the needs of the Afghan people. At the end of September, the Chinese government delivered the first batch of emergency humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.

On November 2, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin responded to the China-Arab trade issue. Freight trains between China and Afghanistan have never been interrupted, and trade in agricultural products between the two countries is also recovering, Wang said.

Wang further pointed out that Afghanistan is still facing severe humanitarian crises and economic difficulties. China has announced to provide 200 million RMB yuan of emergency humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, and the first batch of aid has arrived in Kabul. China will continue to listen to the call and needs of the Afghan people, provide support and assistance to the Afghan people within its capacity and continue to play a constructive role in restoring stability and realizing development in Afghanistan.

Industry overview of the seamless pipe

Compared with woven clothing, knitted clothing has the characteristics of relaxed and comfortable, free movement, soft and close-fitting, and no sense of bondage, accounting for nearly 2/3 of the daily clothing consumption. The traditional knitting process requires the stitching of the knitted piece, but the thickness and seam mark of the stitching will affect the comfort and aesthetics of the knitted garment, especially the tight and corset knitted garment. In order to solve the discomfort and appearance destruction caused by the seamless pipe suture process for tight-fitting and corset knitted garments (main underwear at that time), seamless knitting was born.

Seamless knitting, also known as "three-dimensional one-time molding knitting technology", its production process is based on the digital model of human body curve database and human physiological function requirements, relying on computer-aided design tools to complete style design, using industrial intelligent digital control technology, The yarn with "three-dimensional, one-piece" modeling structure directly from the industrial knitting machine into a seamless pipe clothing products, is a digital intelligent modern clothing production technology. In short, seamless knitting technology is the use of special seamless knitting equipment, the use of computer digital simulation function, in the form of three-dimensional production of one-time molding clothing, neck, waist, hip and other curves without suture, can be directly completed from yarn to clothing.

The market trend of the seamless pipe

With the continuous improvement of people living standards, people demand for underwear gradually increases, and so does the demand for seamless pipe. With the hot selling of seamless underwear products, the comprehensive and rapid development of seamless pipe will be driven.

Seamless underwear is a cylindrical product woven directly from the seamless underwear knitting machine. It is one-time molding underwear for the neck, waist and hip without seams. Compared with traditional knitted clothing, seamless underwear is no longer bound by the elasticity of knitwear caused by stitching, so it has higher comfort and fit. Different from traditional underwear, the pattern and style of seamless underwear are completed on the equipment at one time through the process design, with a rich variation. The pattern and style of the new can faster cope with the current rapidly changing market, and quickly attract the attention of consumers from the appearance. At present, seamless pipe seamless underwear accounts for about 11% of the global underwear market.

In terms of industry pattern, seamless underwear is similar to FMCG textiles such as cotton socks. China is currently the world largest exporter, with relatively mature production technology and a complete industrial chain, accounting for more than 60% of the world output, mainly in the middle and low-end capacity. Turkey, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Italy and other countries also have production capacity. With the rising labor costs of seamless pipe, some seamless underwear manufacturers began to shift their production capacity to Vietnam and Indonesia.

The market price of seamless pipe

China seamless underwear exports account for about 70% of the world total, taking an absolute leading position. The main market of China seamless pipe exports is the United States (34%), followed by Japan (9%) and The United Kingdom (7%). In the first half of 2020, the export scale of China seamless underwear decreased by more than 30% year-on-year, mainly because the seamless apparel business is mainly concentrated in the European and American markets. In the first half of the year, Europe and the United States became the hardest hit area of the NOVEL coronavirus epidemic, and the end consumption of seamless pipe seamless apparel had a great impact, leading to a decrease in the number of orders of Chinese enterprises. In addition, the seamless underwear itself is highly related to sports scenes, and the demand for relevant products declines as consumers reduce outdoor activities due to the impact of the epidemic.

It can be seen that seamless pipe is still a "fresh" product in the eyes of most consumers in China, and the seamless underwear market has not really formed. In the future, with the continuous improvement of national living standards, people demand for sports underwear, body underwear and the seamless pipe will gradually increase and people will have a better understanding of their functions and characteristics. Once most consumers fully accept seamless underwear products, a huge market space will be revealed, and the price of the seamless pipe will also fluctuate greatly.
