The high labour costs add up to increase the overall cost of production in China. The only advantage for the Chinese textile enterprises is the time required for delivering the orders, as Chinese companies are able to ship goods within two months time, while the other Southeast Asian countries require a minimum of three months time to deliver the goods from the date of accepting the order. Hence, the Chinese textile firms participating in the trade fair accepted orders that needed to be delivered within a short period of time.

Textile industry experts believe that the industry has entered a high-cost and low-growth era. According to them, the increasing pressure on the Chinese textile enterprises is mainly due to the price difference between cotton prices of China and abroad, the debt crisis in Europe and many uncertain factors affecting the international economic situation.
