According to the Ministry of transportation planning, China needs 267300 tons of automobile textiles by 2010. The survey shows that the sales volume of automobile textiles in China increases at a rate of 15% - 20% every year. The domestic production of auto textiles can not meet the rapid growth of the automobile industry. The market gap is large, and a large number of foreign imports are needed, with an annual import amount of about 4 billion US dollars. There are hundreds of types of cars, transporters, minicars and agricultural vehicles in China. From 1995 to now, the demand for automobile textiles has increased every year. However, the domestic production of automobile textiles is far from meeting the increasing demand of the automobile industry.
