In recent years, with the accelerated pace of industrial upgrading of China's textile industry, the product structure of the textile machinery market has undergone tremendous changes. The proportion of traditional textile machinery equipment sales has become less and less. The sales of automation, continuity, high-speed, intelligent and large-capacity textile machinery equipment have increased significantly. Gao Yong, Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Textile Industry Federation, pointed out that the changes in the demand for these equipment reflect the direction of the product structure adjustment and industrial upgrading of China's textile industry on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also the inevitable choice for the textile industry to be trapped in the rising cost of labor and raw materials at present. Textile enterprises can reduce labor and improve efficiency by using high-speed, intelligent and large-capacity textile machinery equipment; At the same time, in view of the current situation of the shortage of raw materials such as cotton in the world, high-grade equipment is necessary to make full use of fiber and improve the added value of products. In the next 5 to 10 years, this demand trend will be more obvious. The changes in the demand for equipment in China's textile industry have attracted the high attention of the global textile machinery industry.

In the past, the main function of factories set up by world famous textile machinery manufacturers in China was to assemble machinery and equipment suitable for the Chinese market. The design and research and development were rarely carried out in China. Now, this situation has changed. Many companies have begun to research and develop and design new generation products in China, not only facing the Chinese market, but also taking China as the R&D and manufacturing center, and exporting to other markets in the world. For example, the new full-automatic synthetic fiber texturing machine eAFK, which was displayed at ITMA 2011, is the company's first fully developed and produced equipment in China. Before and after the 2012 China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition, a number of top international textile machinery manufacturers held the opening ceremony of China's new factories and new headquarters, which further confirmed the importance of the Chinese market, and also showed that the pace of the world textile machinery industry's focus shift to China was accelerated.
