Chen Shangfu introduced the example of 1~4 month this year. 67 Enterprises above Designated Size in garment industry of our city realized 2 billion 409 million yuan of industrial output value, an increase of 10.75% over the same period last year, operating income of 2 billion 202 million yuan, an increase of 17.82% over the same period last year, but the output of clothing was still slightly lower than that of the same period last year.

It is worth mentioning that the profits of the 67 enterprises increased by 9.22% over the same period last year, which is better than the same period last year.

Chen Shangfu pointed out that this is mainly because the added value of clothing brands is increasing.

"This also strengthened the clothing enterprises in the future must take the road of brand."

Chen Shangfu explained that the overall brand of Chongqing's clothing enterprises is still weak. At present, there are only two well-known trademarks in the country. In the future, the brand will be strengthened. 1~2 is expected to be born this year.

Jin Hongyuan, executive director of the Central Academy of international general business school, also pointed out that the extensive and wholesale sales mode of clothing is no longer suitable for the current consumption environment. At present, the domestic garment industry has officially moved towards the retail era. Today, when the retail industry is king, enterprises should re understand the "new generation consumer groups", and break through by breaking down the style, carefully seeking the market, refining the marketing and changing the operation mode, so as to comprehensively build the brand power.
