Henan's textile industry is undergoing a deep transformation from OEM to branding. Recently, the Henan Provincial Quality Strong Province Strategy Leading Group Office announced a list of 102 enterprises proposed to be authorized to use the 'Meiyu Mingpin' brand. Among the 59 manufacturing entities, multiple textile and apparel companies were selected, signaling that Henan is no longer just a 'fabric base' but is sprinting toward full-category branding.
Background
Selected enterprises cover segments such as women's ready-to-wear, cotton yarn spinning, textile accessories, and curtain fabrics, showing clear supply chain characteristics. In the women's apparel sector, Zhengzhou Yunding Apparel and Zhengzhou Yalida Apparel, as leaders in the domestic women's pants industry, were included. Yunding focuses on women's pants, with core competitiveness in fit and fabric comfort, consistently ranking in the first tier. Yalida, rooted in Zhengzhou for over 30 years, has expanded from professional women's pants to full-category women's apparel, with stores nationwide.
Upstream segments also shine. Henan Tongtai Textile specializes in combed cotton yarn, controlling the entire process from cotton selection to spinning, providing high-quality raw materials for local apparel companies. In textile accessories, Guangshan Baisha Card Clothing focuses on precision parts for textile machinery, a specialized enterprise in the domestic textile carding equipment field. In home fabrics, Zhengzhou Mingyang Window Decoration Technology integrates textile techniques into home soft furnishings, with honeycomb blinds balancing shading, durability, and aesthetics, driving cross-border innovation.
Industrial Impact
The simultaneous selection of multiple upstream and downstream textile enterprises under 'Meiyu Mingpin' demonstrates a multi-point breakthrough across the chain. For buyers, this means Henan's textile industry is upgrading from product advantages to brand advantages. Previously, buyers viewed Henan as a low-cost fabric or accessory source, but now, branding implies improved product quality and stability. For factories, being selected is not just an honor but an endorsement of full-process quality control, helping attract high-end orders.
From an industry trend perspective, Henan's 'full-category cultivation' strategy is yielding results. The simultaneous selection of women's apparel, yarn, accessories, and fabrics reflects that the industry no longer relies on a single category but builds competitiveness through upstream-downstream synergy. This sets a benchmark for other central and western textile regions: while single-point breakthroughs matter, full-chain branding is key to forming true industrial cluster effects.
