Hiking prices inevitably trigger a domino effect: Yarn prices – which have doubled, fabrics and cotton cloths follow the trend in varied degrees. There is no doubt that the increase will affect the cost of products such as printed labels, woven labels and garments that largely depend on cotton.

Cotton prices in China escalate almost on a daily basis, scaring out the textile and garment industry, which have the fiber as a core crude material, according to reports from the People's Daily Monday. Although every year from September to March of the following year is a golden period for the industry, this year, about 60 percent of factories in Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhejiang – major cotton producing areas – have been put idle, getting textile industry in panic that slows down the production like woven labels.

According to reports, Cotton-output squeeze, increase in demand, depreciation of the US dollar and speculation on hot money all are culprits in such crisis. "But the Chinese government, realizing the seriousness of the situation, is taking measures to regulate the whole industry. However, besides governmental aid, textile companies should also try to improve their core technologies to ward off risks," said Yang Zhaohua, chairman of China Home Textile Association. The reason why textile industry fell into passive situation is that they extensively rely on raw materials on the basis of less developed technology. Whatever products such as woven labels or clothes they deal in, once the price rose, they have no choice but to be involved in the price war. Only by improving and renovating core technology can textile enterprises break the ice and attain the leading role in the domestic and foreign market.
