In a report on the potential of the sector in December to the Government, her Clarisse Perotti-Reille author points out that it is not "of lament for the umpteenth time on the evils of globalization for our jobs, but rather to focus on emerging trends and demonstrate that they provide real opportunities for the future..." . An analysis on which professional federations are well determined to rely, that public authorities are watching a new look a sector that is transformed. "We want to be treated as a major industry in a developed country, and as a labour industry more", Sonny Lucien Deveaux, the President of the Union of textile industries (ITU).
The report, which draws a number of tracks to help SMEs to develop steep falls. The turnover of the textile companies should have increased by 3 to 4 in 2007, to EUR 15 billion, confirming the improvement observed in 2006. The rebound comes after years of crisis and restructuring. Between 2000 and 2005, some 25,000 jobs have disappeared in the textile, and adjustments are continuing. If the declining enrolment is not interrupted, it has slowed: after a decline of jobs employees of the order of 8 in 2006, it was approximately 3.5 last year, bringing the workforce to some 85,000 jobs. "The productivity has increased and especially the nature of the job has changed." "In my business, half 750 employees are now working on innovation and research," continues Lucien Deveaux, head of the group that bears his name.
Clothing was also found a smile. In this sector, sales of French companies has increased in the order of 2 to 11 billion, thanks in part to the restart of domestic consumption of clothing. "On the first ten months of 2007, it grew by 3, which is the best performance since 1998", points out, satisfied, Jean-Pierre Mocho, President of the Federation of women's ready-to-wear. Thus, the French clothing market reached EUR 26 billion. The new interest of men for fashion, and clothing for children supported by the birth boom boosted purchases. Not to mention the permanent renewal of the offer, punctuated now by 4 to 6 collections a year, according to a study by the MFI. Clothing exports are well they also: rising reached 7 in 2007. French fashion seduces abroad, with for the first customers the Spain and the Italy.
Increase aid
Help SMEs International is one of the levers identified in the report of Clarisse Perotti-Reille, "because we are forced to have the world for territory," said Lucien Deveaux. Support for innovation is also becoming important in the light of changes in the sector. Today, in the textile, the activity of the traffic companies consists of 35 of technical products (health, building, transport...), whose growth is double that of textiles for clothing. Also, the Union of textile industries continues to claim support for research. "Our companies law since last year to deduct from their income taxable 200,000 euros over three years for their R & D expenditures, whereas in more sharp areas, the deduction may reach nearly 100 of costs", said Thierry Noblot, the Director General of the ITU.
