As the country adjusts to growth, some government measures though good for trade in the long run may have negative impact on the export of textiles in the short term, Sun said.

Increasing costs of raw materials such as oil and cotton would also influence profits, he added.

For manufacturers to adapt, they need to be innovative and add value to their products, said Sun Weibin, spokesman from the China National Textile and Apparel Council.
