Secondly, in respect to industrial structure, the competitiveness of cotton and man-made fiber products will be higher, the range of finished products will be expanded and the sub-industry for dyeing and printing will be enhanced, so as to initially establish a complete industrial system. In 2015, the added value of garments will share over 25% of the sales of the textile industry in Henan province and both home textiles and technical textiles will be featured with unique advantages.

Thirdly, in respect to technical progress, in 2015, the share of advanced machinery and equipment will be as high as 70%, the investment in R&D will be higer than 1.5% of the total sales and the production rate of new products will go up to 7%.
