During the last two decades, China has become the powerhouse of the world, at least within the textile industry. With enormous perseverance, a lot of work and a strong will to learn, an infrastructure was built that is probably second to none in the world today. And the expression of this determination became a reality with the impressive China Textile City (CTC), located in Keqiao, Shaoxing County.
A visit to CTC, Asia’s largest textile distribution center, is breathtaking. Located some three- to four-hours’ drive northeast of Shanghai, the place is huge – almost impossible to imagine. CTC was planned in the open countryside and became a reality some 20 years ago. Markets here gather together all kinds of fibers, yarns and fabrics – including home textiles and, of course, apparel, but also more and more industrial textiles. In spite of all its advantages, CTC is still mostly unknown in the Western world.
Shaoxing Country
Shaoxing County is the center of the Chinese textile industry. According to CTC management, the fabric market on Dongsheng Road is CTC’s most prosperous market and takes up the its core area. It is located about half an hour east of Hangzhou International Airport, and one hour west of Ningbo Beilun Port.
In China, Shaoxing County is a well-known historic place. It is reputed to be the pearl of South China, the birthplace of silk-making and a cultural center. For five consecutive years, Shaoxing has ranked among the top 10 regions in China. In 2006, the county’s gross production value totaled US$5.8 billion, and its gross domestic product per capita totaled US$8,000.
World’s Largest Trade Center
CTC is a textile distribution center of the very largest scale and offers the greatest variety of textile products in China. In addition, it is the largest textile professional market in Asia, and the biggest trade center worldwide. A massive group of big buildings, creating a true city for the domestic textile industry, covers a built area of more than 3.2 million square meters (m 2). Currently, CTC includes more than 20,000 business rooms and 19,000 operating companies. According to its management, CTC trades tens of thousands of fabrics, and more than 100,000 customers pass through daily. There are more than 3,500 permanent overseas purchasers and more than 700 permanent overseas representative agencies.
China Textile products are sold to virtually all Chinese regions and the whole world. It is estimated some 83 percent of all global made-made fiber already is produced in Asia. CTC management claims that one-quarter of all global man-made-fiber fabrics are traded here, representing an annual market turnover of more than 60 billion renminbi.
