China Cocoon Silk Industry Demand Survey & Investment Risks Analysis Report, 2013-2017

China is the largest silk producer and exporter in the world since ancient times. Proportion of current China raw silk production to the world total production is over 70% while the exporting amount is over 80%. According to statistics, the global raw silk market is a relatively stable market that the growth of total silk consumption amount is about 6 tons and is stable. In the current global market competition of low-end product is fierce. Therefore it is an inevitable trend for global silk consumption growth to improve technology content of silk products, develop new silk products and meet the consumption demand of new consumers.

China cocoon silk industry continues the well development trend of the “tenth five years” during the “eleventh five years” period by the policies promotion such as promoting structure adjustment, enhancing independent brands and enlarging exports. The mulberry field area in 2010 has reached 12.031 million mou (1 mou=666.67 square meters) which growth 3.7% comparing with that in 2005; productions of cocoon and raw material are 0.649 million tons and 0.152 million tons which growth rates are 5.4% and 30.4% comparing with that in 2005.

By grabbing opportunities of “development of western China”, “rise of central China” and structure adjustment of textile industry in 2006, the cocoon silk industry carry out the “move mulberry in the east to the west” project and efficiently implement the resource integration. By the end of 2010, proportions of mulberry field area and raw silk production in Midwest China (not including Qinghai and Tibet) to that in the whole China increase 10.1 and 23.9 comparing with that of 2005.

During the “twelfth five years” China will focuses on industry development, production increase and farmers’ income growth to construct modern sericulture production base, high-quality cocoon base, sericulture standardization base, cultivate leading industry giants, and fully promote the standardization production of sericulture. According to the primary statistics from Ministry of Agriculture the mulberry field area is basically stable. Seed quantity and cocoon production are 16.52 million and 0.636 million ton with year-on-year growth rates of 3.7% and 2.7%; sericulturist income by selling cocoon is 22 billion Yuan, up 15%; total oak silkworm is 750,000 tons with a year-on-year growth rate of 5% while total production is 2.46 million tons with a year-on-year growth rate of 28.1%.

However, there are many existing problems for the development of China cocoon silk industry, such as backward overall production and technology equipment of silk corporations; mainly production still base on raw material production; weak product development capability and backward brand building; backward enterprise management. Overall characteristics for current silk corporations are small-size production, low concentration, weak market competitiveness and weak anti-risk capability. Therefore, it is an inevitable way to strengthen silk industry by taking the market as guidance, improving technology content of silk industry and expanding domestic market demand, etc.
