Since 2025, the global textile industry chain has continued to evolve under the influence of multiple factors. The cotton textile industry has shown a dual pattern of "bottoming out and recovering at the cotton end, and breaking through the trend in the clothing end", reshaping its development logic and laying the foundation for the industry's development in 2026. In the cotton sector, China's cotton imports are expected to decline initially and then rise in 2025. At the beginning of the year, they dropped to a new low due to multiple factors. Subsequently, they bottomed out and started to recover, injecting momentum into the industry's recovery. The import sources are highly concentrated, with Brazil, Australia, and the United States "dominating the market". Brazil, with its increased production and price advantage, has become the core supply force. This concentrated pattern ensures stable supply, but it also harbors risks related to geopolitics and logistics fluctuations. In the clothing sector, the recovery and differentiation of the EU market have attracted much attention, while China's clothing exports have performed strongly. In November 2025, the volume of EU clothing imports increased, but the fluctuation in exchange rates led to an increase in volume but a weak price. Against this backdrop, the market share of Chinese clothing in the EU has risen against the trend, with the import volume growth rate from January to November far exceeding the global average. This is attributed to the technological upgrading and lean production of Chinese textile enterprises. By optimizing processes, enhancing added value, and undergoing digital and intelligent transformation, they maintain cost advantages and precisely match market demands. In contrast, the traditional clothing supply country, Bangladesh, has encountered bottlenecks. In November 2025, its clothing exports to the European Union both in terms of volume and value declined, reflecting the weakness of over-reliance on low-price competition and insufficient risk-resistance capabilities. Looking ahead to 2026, the cotton textile industry will witness both opportunities and challenges. In the cotton sector, enterprises need to be vigilant about the risk of concentrated supply. They should diversify their purchasing, optimize inventory management, and use futures tools to hedge risks. In the clothing sector, Chinese enterprises need to consolidate their advantages, while countries relying on low-price competition need to accelerate their transformation. Moreover, exchange rate fluctuations have a significant impact. Enterprises should make good use of foreign exchange hedging tools. Digitalization and green transformation are the key to breaking through the bottleneck. Overall, the cotton textile industry in 2025 - 2026 is at a critical stage. Chinese cotton textile enterprises are expected to gain a favorable position in the global industrial chain reconfiguration and achieve high-quality development. Declaration: The content of this article is compiled from the internet and is copyrighted by the original author; if any infringement is found, please notify us immediately and we will delete it.

Spunbond nonwoven fabric is a common type of nonwoven material, which is produced through the direct web-forming technology of melt-spun fibers. The production process involves melting the polymer chips, extruding them through spinnerets to form continuous filaments, followed by air stretching, web laying and consolidation steps, ultimately resulting in a uniformly structured fabric material. This process enables spunbond nonwoven fabric to possess excellent mechanical properties and stable quality characteristics. In terms of material properties, Spunbond nonwoven fabric exhibits high tensile strength and tear resistance, while maintaining a certain level of breathability. Due to the continuous and efficient production process, this material has significant advantages in large-scale manufacturing. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of production processes, spunbond non-woven fabric has also seen significant improvements in uniformity and feel. The application fields of Spunbond nonwoven fabric are very extensive. In the healthcare industry, spunbond non-woven fabric is used to manufacture medical protective suits, surgical gowns and other products, meeting the demand for disposable hygiene products. In the agricultural field, spunbond non-woven fabric is used as an agricultural covering material, which can help regulate soil temperature and humidity and promote crop growth. In home decoration, spunbond non-woven fabric is often used in wallpaper base materials, furniture padding and other products. Moreover, it can also be seen in industries such as automotive interiors and packaging materials. Market data shows that the production of Spunbond nonwoven fabric holds a significant share in the global nonwoven fabric market. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the application of degradable raw materials in the production of spunbond nonwoven fabric is gradually expanding, driving the industry towards a sustainable development direction. Manufacturers have further enhanced the performance of spunbond nonwoven fabric by optimizing process parameters and adjusting raw material ratios. In the future, the nonwoven fabric industry based on spunbonding will continue to focus on technological innovation and expand new application scenarios. The development of functional and differentiated products will become the key focus of enterprises, meeting the specific requirements of different fields for materials. The improvement of industry standards will also promote the overall quality improvement of spunbonded nonwoven fabrics.

The outstanding performance of PP non-woven fabric is inseparable from its mature and efficient production process. From ordinary polypropylene particles to the functional fabric rolls we see every day, the entire process integrates the technical essence of both chemical engineering and textile manufacturing. Understanding its production process helps us gain a deeper understanding of the value of this material. The production of PP non-woven fabric begins with the preparation of raw materials. The main raw material is polypropylene resin chips. Depending on the requirements, an appropriate amount of color masterbatch or functional additives may be added to change the color of the product or give it special properties such as anti-aging and anti-static. The core process is to spin and form a net. Currently, the spunbonding method is the mainstream technology for manufacturing PP non-woven fabrics. The principle is to melt the polypropylene particles at high temperature, and the molten material is extruded through the spinneret to form continuous long fibers. These fine long fibers are cooled and solidified under the stretching effect of high-speed air flow, and then are evenly laid on the moving webbing to form a fluffy net. This process determines the basic weight and uniformity of the non-woven fabric. After the web is formed, it needs to be reinforced to achieve sufficient strength. There are various reinforcement methods, among which hot rolling reinforcement is widely used. The web is passed through a pair of heated rollers under specific temperatures and pressures, where the contact points between the fibers are thermally fused and bonded, thus becoming a sturdy sheet-like material. Another common method is needle-punch reinforcement, where thousands of needle-like spikes repeatedly puncture the web, causing the fibers to intertwine and bond with each other. Finally, there is the post-processing and winding process. According to customer requirements, the produced PP non-woven fabric base cloth may need to undergo further processing such as printing, coating, and compounding. After completing all the processes, the finished product is wound into a standard width and length fabric roll using a precise winding machine. After passing the inspection, it can be packaged and shipped out. The entire production process of PP non-woven fabric features a short process, high output, and strong variability. It can flexibly adjust process parameters according to the different demands of the downstream market, and produce various specifications of products ranging from ultra-thin to thick, from soft to stiff, to meet the diverse requirements in fields such as medical, hygiene, filtration, and packaging.
