The textile industry has a long history of development, but it was not until the second half of the 18th century that power textile machinery was first born in Western Europe, making the textile industry realize the change from handicraft industry to mechanical industry production. With the development of the downstream textile industry and the upgrading of industry technology, textile machinery and equipment emerge in endlessly, since the 1950s, new processes with higher production efficiency have been introduced, and the efficiency of textile machinery has steadily improved.
Globally, the world's textile machinery is mainly concentrated in Europe and Asia. As the birthplace of power textile machinery, Europe has obvious advantages, and the technical level has always been in the lead, including Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium and other countries, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries also occupy a certain market.
In the competition of the global textile machinery industry, Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Belgium, and Taiwan have always maintained a competitive advantage over high-end textile machinery with more advanced and mature technology. Since the 21st century, with the global textile industry capacity to Asia, especially the transfer of China, the focus of the global textile machinery industry has also been transferred to China, with China gradually growing into a global textile power, coupled with the continuous digestion and absorption of textile machinery technology and independent research and development, China has come from behind, with a complete industrial chain layout, large-scale production, and narrowing the technology gap. As well as product quality and price advantages, it has become a global textile power and maintained a certain competitive advantage. At present, in terms of scale, Asia has become the manufacturing center of textile machinery.
