Focus on baby diaper market trends

Although the penetration of the baby diaper market in developed regions such as the United States and Western Europe is very high， and growth is stagnant， we expect that developing regions， especially Asia and Africa， will provide strong sales growth opportunities for baby diaper manufacturers.

According to Euromonitor data， the global baby diaper market is valued at USD 43.38 billion in 2019， and is expected to have moderate growth in the next five years， with a compound annual growth rate （CAGR） of 3.5%， and is expected to reach USD 51.53 billion by 2024.

Svetlana Uduslivaia， head of Euromonitors North American home and technology department， said that the fastest growing regional markets are mainly concentrated in Asia and Africa. By 2024， the compound annual growth rates of the two most populous countries in the world（China and India） will be 7.4% and 14.8%， respectively. Indonesia， Thailand and Vietnam are expected to be the fastest growing baby diaper markets in Southeast Asia， with compound annual growth rates of 11.8%， 5.9% and 8.4% during this period. In Africa， Kenya and Nigeria are expected to achieve the fastest growth in the next five years， with compound annual growth rates of 2.9% and 13.3%， respectively.

Asias influence in the baby diaper market cannot be underestimated. In the past decade， trends such as soft， breathable materials and ultra-high-end market segments have begun to appear globally. Another growing market segment originating in Asia is pant diapers. There is no doubt that parents now promote some of the latest trends in baby diapers， including the transparency of the brands ingredients. The product should not only list the ingredients contained， but also list the ingredients to avoid， because consumers regard the latter as unnecessary chemical substances， or may be toxic substances， so natural materials are closely related to safety.

Donghua University develops new fabrics to help withstand high temperatures while waterproofing

Researchers at Donghua University have developed a new type of fabric that can cool the wearer. This material is made of several different polymers in a relatively simple way， which can effectively transfer heat and absorb sweat， while still being waterproof on the outside. The material is mainly composed of three parts：
polyurethane constituting the basic structure， waterproof fluorinated polyurethane and thermally conductive boron nitride nanosheets. The three are combined and run through an electrospinning instrument to form a nano-fiber membrane. This may not be the smartest cooling material， but the team says it is relatively easy to produce. In addition to clothes used to help the wearer cool down， the team said that this new material can also be used to cool electronic products and improve equipment that collects solar energy or desalinates seawater. The research was published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

Tongzhou Bay to rise more than 100 billion yuan textile new materials industrial base

To build an advanced manufacturing base of Tongzhou Bay textile new material industry， with a total economic output value of more than 100 billion yuan. This is the information released at the 2020 Nantong International High-end Textile Industry Expo held on July 3.

The total area of the modern textile industrial park in the Tongzhou Bay Demonstration Zone is 9.3 square kilometers. The goal is to build three bases：
the national high-end fabric industry innovation base， the Asia-Pacific high-quality home textile manufacturing base and the global industrial textile new material innovation base.

Yangkou Port Fiber New Material Park has a total planning area of 9.4 square kilometers. The overall positioning is based on the chemical fiber industry， mainly developing elasticity， filament weaving， dyeing and printing extension industrial chains， and focusing on the development of a new fiber industry chain with filament weaving as the core. The goal is to build three bases：
an advanced manufacturing base for the new fiber industry in the north of the Yangtze River Delta， a strong growth base for the new fiber industry in Nantong， and a new base for the transfer of high-quality production capacity in the national textile industry.

There are 79 cashmere processing enterprises above designated size in the cashmere industry in Ordos， accounting for 55% of the cashmere processing enterprises above designated size in the autonomous region. The annual production of cashmere sweaters here has exceeded 6 million pieces， accounting for more than half of the national output. It is sold at home and abroad， and Ordos is indeed a “China Cashmere City”. Ordos will carry out comprehensive and in-depth strategic cooperation with Pinduoduo platform to help Ordos enterprises increase orders and stabilize production capacity， promote export-oriented enterprises to achieve coordinated development of domestic and international markets， and boost the domestic consumer market. At the signing ceremony， a number of Ordos representative companies showed their hopes for this cooperation. They are all eager to use the new e-commerce to fully connect the domestic market of 628 million users of Pinduoduo platform.

Xinjiang textile and apparel exports realize growth

According to Xinjiang Urumqi Customs statistics， from May last year to April this year， Xinjiangs textile and apparel products exports have grown against the trend， with export trade amounting to 33.143 billion yuan， an increase of 10.82% year-on-year.

It is understood that Urumqi Customs has implemented a “batch import， centralized declaration” model of textile equipment implemented in special supervision zones to help companies delay the payment of equipment taxes， revitalize the capital chain， reduce operating costs， and enhance the competitiveness of the international market. Urumqi Customs wrote the “Eurasian Economic Union Textile and Garment Market Access Research Report”， collected and translated the Eurasian Economic Union regulations， closely tracking the technical trade measures of neighboring countries， and serving textile and apparel companies.

With the continuous deepening of the construction of the“Belt and Road”， Urumqi Customs continuously optimizes the full-process inspection and supervision services for textile and apparel companies， speeds up customs declaration processing， cargo inspection， follow-up disposal and other convenient customs clearance measures， and through “one window”， the inspection release time was shortended to less than 4 hours， which greatly shortened the customs clearance time for import and export goods.
