Investment and operation cost analysis of major Asian textile countries and regions
——Zheng Shengwei, manager of CCFGroup

Mr. Zheng divided his reports into four parts: 
First of all, he introduced import volume and origin changes from China, EU, U.S. and Japan. With a general growth on total imported volume, Southeast/ South Asian markets emerge rapidly as their origin countries, in which Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Vietnam and Turkey are the most important origins, and the next are Thailand and Cambodia. 

Second, Zheng analyzed the motivation and reason for companies investing in overseas. He first pointed out from policy orientation such as One Belt & One Road. Then he introduced the multiple production advantages in Southeast/South Asian and some additional preferential policies for investing overseas. He summarized that the comprehensive cost in China is relatively higher than that in Southeast Asia like Vietnam and India and the overseas textile investment status quos in nearby countries 

Third, Mr. Zheng talked about the status quo of hot investment region in China: Xinjiang. The capacity in Xinjiang expands sharply. Open-end rayon yarn occupies market share rapidly and ring-spun cotton yarn is expanding in some areas. Zheng analyzed Xinjiang advantages from feedstock, policy, investment scale and structure. 

At last, Mr. Zheng made a comparison of the spinning cost in Southeast Asia, Xinjiang and inland China, and implied that a lowest spinning cost was in India and Vietnam owing to their feedstock and labor advantages, while the cost of inland China was highest.
