Main types of equipment purchased by apparel companies

With the rapid development of China's apparel industry, clothing equipment is constantly being updated and developed, and its functional, intelligent, and automatic high-speed features are more obvious. The extensive adoption of domestic and foreign high-tech garment equipment ensures the overall improvement of the level and quality of the garment manufacturing process. In order to better understand the current status quo of equipment procurement in the apparel market, this report focuses on the procurement behavior of apparel enterprises for sewing equipment, which mainly includes: types of procurement equipment, commonly used procurement channels, annual procurement costs, and payment cycles.

The main types of equipment purchased by apparel companies in the current market are described in four aspects: apparel CAD/CAM/CIMS, pre-sewing equipment, sewing equipment, and post-sewing equipment.

Survey data show that the application of clothing CAM series products, nearly half of the surveyed enterprises are purchasing this type of product, due to the rapid reflection of the computer to reflect the ability to use the traditional way of designing a style takes hours or even days, while the computer-aided design requires only a few minutes or even a few minutes to greatly shorten the apparel design cycle. The application of computers to design and draw clothing graphics will greatly reduce the designer's manual labor, and the professional level of designers can also be relatively low. Clothing design information stored in the computer can be called at any time, easy to manage. Information can also be transmitted through the network. The clothing industry with the support of the computer's natural quality, and high efficiency, in turn, has more strength to support the adoption of new electronic technology, to promote the progress of clothing technology, but also by the trust of clothing companies.
Electronic technology is the direction of development, the future will be more used in the apparel industry, sewing equipment companies should strengthen the development and utilization of computer technology, and walk in the forefront of the industry.
Clothing CAD (Computer AIDED design) technology, that is, computer-aided apparel design technology, is the use of computer software and hardware technology for new clothing products, and clothing processes, in accordance with the basic requirements of clothing design, input, design, and output of specialized technology, is a comprehensive, set of computer graphics, databases, network communications and other computers and other fields of knowledge in one of the high-tech. It is a comprehensive, integrated computer graphics, database, network communications, and other computer and other areas of knowledge in one of the high-tech, to achieve product technology development and engineering design. It is known as the fringe discipline of art and computer science and is a brand new art genre based on cutting-edge science, which is different from any art in the past.
In addition, CAM is the application of computer-aided manufacturing technology to the production process of clothing, the series of products covers an automatic cutting machine series, automatic fabric pulling machine series, fabric inspection machine series, pre-shrinking machine series, fabric spreading table, hanging production line system and other products.

In the current market of more than 20 kinds of pre-sewing equipment, cutting machine is the key procurement of apparel enterprises, the survey shows that more than 50% of the main procurement of equipment include cutting machine, followed by fabric inspection machine, pulling machine, fabric cutting machine, fusing machine, etc., the pre-sewing process is directly related to the quality of apparel products, in the process of apparel production is critical. Today's pre-sewing equipment manufacturing enterprises, a change in the pursuit of "vacuum adsorption cutting thickness", "width range" and other data of the race, in order to innovative technology to create unlimited value to the downstream enterprises, began to improve product quality, precision, and efficiency. 

There are various kinds of sewing equipment, the survey shows that: the current market demand for flat sewing machine procurement is the largest, about 50% of the enterprises will be listed as the key purchasing products; followed by overlock sewing machines, more than 30% of the key purchasing products include overlock sewing machine; the next key purchasing products for apparel enterprises in order of Button Sewing Machine, Button Sewing Machine, lockstitch machine, lockstitch machine, hemmed machine, bobbin winder, etc., and the procurement demand for other sewing equipment is relatively small, and the procurement demand for other sewing equipment is relatively small. Purchasing demand for other sewing equipment is relatively small, but it does not mean that apparel companies do not need it.

A garment sewing process is completed, before entering the market, there is a very important process: finishing, ironing, and molding. Ironing and finishing equipment for the presentation of the final shape of the garment plays a crucial role after sewing equipment is increasingly the garment manufacturer to pay attention to. In the post-sewing equipment, there is nothing more in demand than ironing machines, with about 35% of the enterprises focusing on purchasing this equipment.

Embroidery machines, laser equipment, printing machines, quilting machines, shoe machines, and other series of products are not the general apparel enterprises to purchase equipment products in bulk. This is closely related to the products produced by apparel enterprises.

Apparel enterprises in the procurement of equipment, equipment manufacturers, and products of the main ways to understand what, as well as commonly used procurement channels and the main importance of the factors are worthy of attention.
