Liang Yong said that since last year's Fashion Festival, Xinjiang's textile and clothing industry has undergone significant changes: First, local governments and industry authorities have begun to pay attention to the development of the apparel industry. In the past, due to the small size and weak foundation of the apparel industry, Adequate attention has been given, but since the People's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Garment Industry in Xinjiang" in June of last year, especially the successful holding of the first clothing festival, the clothing industry has received unprecedented attention from local governments; second, local clothing. The confidence of enterprises is getting more and more full and the direction of development is becoming clearer and clearer.

Zhang Tongzhi, president of the Xinjiang Apparel and Fashion Association, believes that the favorable factors for the development of the garment industry in Xinjiang are very obvious. First, Xinjiang is a place where many ethnic groups gather. Uighurs, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tajik, and other ethnic groups live transnationally. They are similar to the Central Asian countries in terms of language, cultural customs, people-to-people exchanges have a long history, and they have a history in costume culture. Origin and many of the same aesthetic appeal. The textile and apparel industry in these countries has a weak foundation and a large demand for China's textile and garment industry, which provides an advantageous opportunity for Chinese clothing to enter the Central and Western Asia market. Second, Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of Asia and borders on eight countries in Central Asia. It has 17 first-class ports and 12 second-class ports; Xinjiang's textile and apparel exports reached US$7.2 billion in 2012, accounting for 37% of Xinjiang’s total exports of goods. Among them, apparel exports accounted for 70%. With the continuous improvement of international trade conditions such as the Fuzhou-Shenzhen-China International Railway Line and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, further opening of trade routes in Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe will be conducive to attracting foreign companies to export textile products to the west in Xinjiang. Third, Xinjiang's cotton accounts for more than 50% of the country's cotton production, and it has abundant petroleum resources. It is the largest pulp and viscose fiber production base in the country, and natural fiber resources such as wool and linen are also abundant. Sustained development provides a good raw material basis.
