China's ten major home textile production bases present a sound performance in 2007, with total profits hitting US$1.077 billion, rising 25.17% over the previous year, according to the China Home Textile Association.

The ten home textile production bases generated 152.136 billion yuan of industrial output value, an increase of 21.07% cent year on year.

The ten bases are in Tongzhou City and Haimen Industry Zone of east China's Jiangsu province, Wendeng and Gaomi cities of east China's Shandong province, and Yuhang, Xiaoshan, Xucun of Haining, Dama Town of Tongxiang, Yiwu and Youchegang Town of Jiaxing in east China's Zhejiang province.

China's domestic demand for home textile products expanded last year, while exports slowed down. The country's export value of home textile products dropped four percentage points last year as compared with the growth in the previous year, but is up more than 16% more  from that of 2005.

Stimulated by strong demand on the domestic market, the output value of the home textile industry still achieved more than 20% growth in 2007.
