Editor's note: The continuous emergence of new products and innovations reflects the proactive efforts of domestic textile companies to develop high-value-added fabrics, seeking new growth opportunities in the industry. This trend highlights the rapid development of the textile sector. Fabric texture, function, and visual appeal significantly impact clothing performance, making it essential for garment enterprises to closely monitor fabric trends and identify future directions. In recent years, China's textile research has attracted widespread attention from scientific institutions, universities, and enterprises. A growing number of functional fabrics have emerged, such as antibacterial, flame-retardant, waterproof breathable, oil-repellent, and mosquito-resistant materials. These developments focus on enhancing fabric functionality through new fiber materials, recycled resources, and process improvements. Knitted fabrics are widely used in sportswear, T-shirts, and undergarments due to their softness, stretchability, and comfort. However, their dimensional stability and shape retention after washing are generally lower than woven fabrics, limiting their performance. In May 2009, a project titled "High-Value Knitted Fabric Finishing Technical Transformation" successfully addressed long-standing issues with liquid ammonia finishing. By improving luster and softness, and combining it with bio-enzyme washing, the fabric became softer, smoother, and more comfortable. Flame-retardant textiles remain a key area of research. With increasing regulations on fire safety, especially in countries like the U.S., UK, and Japan, flame-retardant fabrics are now legally required for children’s and elderly clothing. Traditional brominated flame retardants face stricter environmental scrutiny, pushing the industry toward eco-friendly, halogen-free alternatives. Functional textiles are expanding into fields such as medical care, environmental protection, and nanotechnology. Innovations include electromagnetic radiation protection garments, outdoor sportwear, natural dyes, silver-coated fibers, and medical compression socks. New fiber development is also gaining traction. For example, Soft Silk Fiber, developed by Suzhou Hengguang Chemical Fiber, is made from renewable plant-based proteins and cellulose, offering UV protection, far-infrared emission, and improved skin compatibility. Pearl Fiber Denim, developed by Donghua University, enhances skincare benefits while maintaining denim aesthetics. Corn Fiber, derived from corn husks, is biodegradable, breathable, and environmentally friendly. Recycled materials are also rising in popularity. Brands like Patagonia and Teijin use recycled polyester from plastic bottles and old clothes. This sustainable approach is becoming more accepted globally, with standards like GRS (Global Recycle Standard) categorizing products based on recycled content—gold (95%-100%), silver (70%-95%), and copper (30%+). These certifications help consumers make informed, eco-conscious choices. As the textile industry evolves, innovation in materials, processes, and sustainability continues to shape its future, opening new possibilities for fashion, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
