PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze raw materials, labor, capital, demand, related industries, strategies and policies influencing international competitiveness of Chinese textile and clothing industry.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is conducted using “Diamond Model”, in which raw materials, labor, capital, demand, related industries, strategies and policies are included as explanatory variables, and the impacts of international competitiveness on market share (MS), trade competitiveness(TC) and revealed comparative advantage(RCA) are examined based on the estimated coefficients of these variables.FindingsThese factors have different effects on TC, MS and RCA. While their effects on TC and MS are similar in sign even though their degree of significance differs, their effects on RCA are opposite to TC and MS except for capital. Raw materials and capital have negative effects on TC and MS, while the other factors have positive ones. Raw materials have positive effects on RCA, but all other factors have negative ones.Practical/implicationsThe results from this study imply that it is necessary to increase investment in fixed assets of Chinese textile and clothing industry, speed up the pace of upgrading equipment, improve the level of industrialization, while strengthening the supply of textile raw materials, and lowering raw material prices, thereby reducing the cost of textile and clothing enterprises.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical research made using econometric model about the impact of the main factors of trade competitiveness in Chinese textile and clothing industry based on the “Diamond Model”.

Introduction. The garment industry has always played a significant role in the state economy development and in everyone's life, as a factor in meeting consumer needs and a source of budget revenue, but in recent years there has been an extremely difficult situation - the garment industry has almost completely lost competitiveness in the consumer market. First, this situation arose due to fierce competition from imported goods, which saturate the market with their products of well-known brands, with a lower price, thereby displacing domestic goods. This encourages the need to study this industry, taking into account the specifics of working with toll raw materials, in order to identify problems and ways to overcome them in global competition. Purpose. Describe the current state of garment production; identify the features of the organization of sewing companies that use toll raw materials, analyze the main advantages and disadvantages of their operation; explore the accounting features; to consider the taxation of services for the processing of toll raw materials value added tax, the peculiarities of import duties calculation, other taxes and fees. Results. The peculiarities of the work organization of the sewing enterprises on the conditions of toll raw materials are covered. An indices analysis of light industry industrial products by activity type for 2015-2020 and revealed a decline in the industry production in 2018-2020. Ukrainian enterprises of the garment industry in 2010-2020 mainly used production on the terms of toll raw materials; full export; production for the domestic market. The main advantages and disadvantages of functioning of domestic garment productions with the use of toll raw materials are considered. A study of textile production indices, production of clothing, leather, leather products and other materials on a monthly basis in 2020 showed that starting from August 2020, the gradual decline in production stopped and there were trends of slight growth in production in the textile industry. The necessity of proper documentation of operations with toll raw materials for processing enterprises and creation of own package of primary forms by executing enterprises is substantiated, in order to simplify the complexity of the process of keeping accounting documentation. The interpretation of the category "toll raw materials" according to the Customs and Tax Codes of Ukraine is considered. A list of criteria in accordance with the current legislation on the recognition of transactions with toll raw materials, confirming the inability of the garment company to sell finished products made from toll raw materials, and therefore loses profits, most of which are sold by the owner of raw materials. The taxation of services on processing of toll raw materials by the value added tax, features of charge of import duty, other taxes and charges are considered. Prospects for further research are the development of virtual sales channels for garments.

Fertility Potential

Textile industry is one of the primarily concerned industries in the world generating huge revenues where both the skilled and unskilled labours are employed. Raw materials are mainly synthetic chemicals rather than the natural one. Several bleaching agents, additives are also used to get sufficiently high and uniform degree of whiteness in the textile materials. Environmental contamination is also common by the textile effluents. All these substances are mutagenic and carcinogenic, and cause enormous health hazards to humans, animals, and aquatic lives. Infertility, implantation failure, and miscarriage due to exposure to dyes, dye intermediates, and other raw materials are major concern worldwide as integrity of both the male and female gametes are massively affected by them. However, little or no attention has been paid in real life scenario, mainly in the developing and under developed countries including adaptation of successful and advanced mitigation strategies. Therefore, the chapter highlights the common issues and possible remedial measures of the textile industry exposure with respect to fertility potential and pregnancy outcome.

Double Diamond

The province of Tungurahua in Ecuador has a participation of 76% at the national level within the leather production chain with the production of raw materials, these are used in the manufacture of 80% of footwear in the country. These production processes generate environmental problems, the greatest impact being on the water, due to the dumping of liquid waste with chemical contents in rivers, this generates bad odors, gases, smoke and polluting solid waste from this process. According to data from tanneries, approximately 88% of the raw material is transformed, while the remaining 12% is considered as waste (leather trimmings), which are used in other manufacturing processes (footwear, textile industry, leather goods and others), the chip obtained from the process is compressed and discarded. As a preventive action, a process is proposed to generate new products through the use of waste obtained from leather processing. The design methodology is the Double Diamond: discover, define, develop and deliver a new product that reuses this waste, a block of dimensions 150 x 75 x 5 mm and 300 grams of weight was obtained, which can be applied in the sector of construction and allow the transition from a linear production process to a circular process.

Further Development

In the context of the country's increasingly innovative and deeply integrated with the world, especially since Vietnam joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 1995, our country has been competing increasingly fierce in all fields and all economic sectors, including the textile industry. Up to now, the position of these two industries has been increasingly affirmed in the world consumption market. Currently, garment and leather products are present in many countries around the world with increasing export turnover and in which large enterprises play an important role. However, in order to maintain our position and improve our competitiveness, we need to re-evaluate the competitive advantages as well as the limitations of enterprises and Vietnam's textile and garment industry. This paper uses the diamond model method to show the competitiveness ability of Vinatex enterprises through 4 main factors: Firm strategy, structure and rivalry, factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries. From there, we come up with solutions that contribute to solving the difficulties, paving the way for the further development of these two industries.

The skin is the largest human organ. Its care and health are, therefore, essential. The skin can only be healthy and attractive when it is in balance. The pre-requisites for healthy skin are: the moisture content, the protective function, elasticity and cell renewal. All of these parameters are supported by applying pharmaceuticals and wellness substances. Pharmaceutical law defines the former as substances and compositions of substances that are applied to or in the human body to heal, ease, prevent or detect illness, pain, bodily injury or disease symptoms. Wellness substances are substances able to enhance the sense of overall wellbeing in all physical and mental aspects of life, and bring the mind, body and spirit in harmony with the nature. The newest movement in beauty is the hybrid of textiles and cosmetics called Cosmeto-Wear: consumers, especially ladies, expect clothing to have a positive effect on the conditions of their skin. Hence, finishers are being asked to create products that offer new and/or improved functions. In recent years, textile materials with special applications in the cosmetic field have been developed. A new sector of cosmetic textiles is opened up and several cosmetic textile products are currently available in the market. There are essentially two different ways of manufacturing cosmetic textiles, they are the binding of microencapsulated cosmetic components or the fabric coating by active finishes. This paper describes the fabrication technologies of cosmeto-textiles, discussing the choice of active components and the problem of their unwanted loss during washing, as well as the trend of cosmeto-textile industry in view of consumers demands.
