Mar 04, 2020 ｜ by zhaoxh
At present, the COVID-19 epidemic continues, while upstream and downstream enterprises in the textile industry chain are doing their best to ensure the supply of anti-epidemic materials, they are gradually restarting production in an orderly manner.
In order to understand the progress of the production resumption of dyeing and printing enterprises in the epidemic situation and the problems encountered, the China Dyeing and Printing Association has carried out follow-up surveys on industrial enterprises and clusters through various ways since February 13, 2020. During the survey from February 13 to 29, the resumption of production in the dyeing and printing enterprises steadily progressed. The number of resumption enterprises increased. However, the production resumption of enterprises still faced some practical problems.
1. Enterprises resume production
1.1 Online survey
According to the deployment and requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, since February 13, China National Textile and Apparel Council has established the “Daily reporting system for resumption of production of enterprises”. As of 12:00 on February 29, the China Dyeing and Printing Association had received a total of 127 valid questionnaires. The survey information is summarized as follows:
According to the statistics of the China Dyeing and Printing Association, 87.40% of the 127 dyeing and printing and related enterprises participating in the online survey have gradually resumed work; of these, 111 enterprises have 110,877 employees, accounting for 72.50% of the total number of employees under normal circumstances.
The Dyeing and Printing Association extracted the daily summary information of the resumption of production at four different points in time, which were February 14, 19, 24, and 29 respectively. The proportion of 42, 76, 106 and 127 enterprises that have resumed production and the proportion of returned workers are shown in Figure 1.

----- Proportion of work resumption of workers
The results of the data show that with the increase in the number of participating enterprises, the proportion of enterprises that have resumed production and the number of workers who have resumed work is generally on the rise, indicating that the production resumption of enterprises is steadily advancing.
1.1.1 From the perspective of enterprise distribution area
Of the 127 enterprises participating in the survey, over 80% were located in the eastern coastal areas of Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, and Guangdong. Only 14.96% of the enterprises were located in the central and western regions. The specific distribution is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Regional distribution of surveyed enterprises
The statistical results show that among the enterprises participating in the survey, the resumption of dyeing and printing enterprises in Shandong Province is relatively good, with the enterprise resumption rate and staff arrival rate over 85%. The analysis is due to the fact that most enterprises in Shandong Province are mainly local employees. Although the enterprise resumption rate in Zhejiang Province and Fujian Province is high, the enterprise staff arrival rate is relatively low, which is one of the main reasons that affect the recovery progress of enterprises.
1.1.2 From the perspective of enterprise scale
The 127 enterprises participating in the survey are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, accounting for 72.23%, and micro-enterprises are less, accounting for less than 3%.
The statistical results show that the proportion of large and medium-sized enterprises returning to work is significantly higher than that of small and micro enterprises, and the rates of returning to work for large and medium-sized enterprises are more than 90%, which are 16.47 and 20.70 percentage points higher than those of small enterprises
1.2 Survey of key enterprises
As of February 29, the China Dyeing and Printing Association received a total of 180 key member enterprises’ effective feedback on the current situation of resumption of production. Among them, 168 have been resumed, and the rate of resumption is 93.33%; 148 enterprises out of 180 enterprises reported the current employees’ returning to work, and the total number of employees in the 148 enterprises under normal production was about 164,470, and the number of employees is about 93,651 now. The rate of employees’ returning to work was 56.94%. Judging from the operating rate data reported by enterprises, the operating rate of most enterprises is around 70%, the operating rate of some key enterprises has reached 80% to 90%, which indicates that the operation situation of most of resumption enterprises is obviously better than that in the first ten days of February.
1.3 Resumption of main industrial clusters
As of February 25, 108 dyeing and printing enterprises in Keqiao District of Shaoxing City have resumed production, with the resumption rate of 75%. With the introduction of incentive measures to support the resumption of production, it is expected that by the end of February, dyeing and printing enterprises in Keqiao district will basically achieve full resumption of production, and the overall production capacity will restore to more than 80%.
As of the end of February, the dyeing and printing enterprises in the three industrial clusters in Shishi City have basically resumed work, with 70% to 80% of employees returning to work and 40% to 50% of the company’s production capacity.
There are 46 dyeing and printing enterprises in the Yancheng Textile Dyeing and Finishing Industrial Park, including 25 enterprises above the designated size. As of February 18, all enterprises in the park have resumed work. The total number of employees returning to work has reached 6,000, of which 5,000 are enterprises above designated size, accounting for 83.33%.
2. The main problems faced by enterprises in resumption of work
The investigation of various channels shows that enterprises are faced with a series of difficult problems when they resume work. The problems reflected by enterprises are mainly labor shortage, poor logistics, and difficulties in purchasing epidemic prevention supplies.
The survey results show that 63.78% of the surveyed enterprises report that poor transportation and logistics are the top issue for their overall resumption of work and production; 61.42% of the surveyed enterprises report that the shortage of workers limits the company’s capacity utilization; 47.24% of the surveyed enterprises reported that the difficulty in purchasing protective equipment resulted in the inability to fully resume work.
