The textile industry of China has been facing with fierce competition and transformational pressures. It is of greatsignificance to study the evolution of textile industry’s technological progress and to predict the trends. The studyanalyses the technological innovation ability of China’s textile industry based on the data of 270,145 patent applicationsfrom 1987 to 2016. At the same time, the Logistic model is used to forecast the technology innovation capability ofChina’s textile industry. The study found out: the number of Chinese textile patent applications is on a upward trend;enterprises and universities are the most important patentee; the regional distribution of textile technology innovation isuneven; the number of patent applications in the southeast coastal areas is the largest; the distribution of the IPC is alsouneven, D06 (fabric treatment) having the largest number of patent applications and the fastest growth rate; China’stextile industry technology innovation has entered a maturity stage in 2018, and will enter the recession stage after 2027based on the Logistic model.
