Prepared For: Global Procurement Managers
Prepared By: SourcifyChina – Senior Sourcing Consultants
Date: Q1 2026
Executive Summary
China remains the world’s largest producer and exporter of raw cashmere and finished cashmere products, accounting for approximately 70–75% of global raw cashmere supply and over 60% of finished goods production. For global procurement managers, understanding China’s regional manufacturing landscape is critical to balancing cost, quality, and supply chain efficiency. This report provides a targeted analysis of key industrial clusters for cashmere manufacturing in China, with a comparative assessment of production regions to support strategic sourcing decisions in 2026.
Key Industrial Clusters for Cashmere Manufacturing in China
China’s cashmere industry is highly regionalized, with distinct clusters specializing in different stages of the value chain—from raw fiber sorting to high-end knitwear manufacturing. The primary production hubs are concentrated in the northern and eastern provinces, where access to raw materials, skilled labor, and export infrastructure converge.
Top 4 Cashmere Manufacturing Clusters (by Province & City):
| Region | Key Cities | Specialization | Key Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inner Mongolia | Hohhot, Baotou | Raw cashmere fiber processing, de-hairing, spinning | Proximity to Mongolian goat herds; primary source of raw fiber; cost-effective processing |
| Zhejiang Province | Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing | High-end knitted cashmere apparel, dyeing, finishing | Advanced textile tech; strong design capabilities; export-ready compliance |
| Jiangsu Province | Changshu, Nantong, Zhangjiagang | Mid-to-high-end woven and knitted cashmere garments | Integrated supply chains; strong OEM/ODM support; proximity to Shanghai port |
| Shandong Province | Qingdao, Yantai | Mass production of cashmere blends, mid-tier knitwear | Competitive pricing; large-scale manufacturing; strong logistics infrastructure |
Note: While Guangdong is a powerhouse in general apparel and fast fashion, it plays a minimal role in premium cashmere manufacturing due to higher labor costs and lack of proximity to raw material sources.
Comparative Analysis: Key Production Regions (2026 Outlook)
The table below compares major cashmere-producing regions in China based on three critical sourcing KPIs: Price, Quality, and Lead Time. Ratings are on a scale of 1–5 (5 = best).
| Region | Average FOB Price (USD/kg, 100% Cashmere Yarn) | Quality (Fiber Fineness, Consistency, Craftsmanship) | Lead Time (Standard Order, 5K pcs) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inner Mongolia | $85–$110 | ⭐⭐⭐☆ (3.5/5) – Good raw fiber, limited finishing capabilities | 60–75 days | Raw material sourcing, bulk yarn supply |
| Zhejiang | $110–$150 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) – Premium finishing, fine gauge knitting, strong compliance (OEKO-TEX, GRS) | 45–60 days | Luxury brands, high-end retail, EU/US compliance-driven orders |
| Jiangsu | $95–$125 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) – Consistent quality, strong OEM execution | 50–65 days | Mid-to-high volume premium orders, blended fabrics |
| Shandong | $80–$105 | ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) – Reliable for blends; variable consistency in 100% cashmere | 55–70 days | Cost-sensitive buyers, cashmere-blend apparel |
| Guangdong | $100–$130 | ⭐⭐☆ (2.5/5) – Limited specialization; mostly blended or lower-grade cashmere | 40–55 days | Fast fashion integration (not recommended for premium cashmere) |
Strategic Sourcing Recommendations (2026)
-
For Premium Quality & Compliance (EU/US Luxury Brands):
→ Prioritize Zhejiang Province, especially Hangzhou and Jiaxing. Factories here offer GRS-certified production, fine-gauge knitting, and strong design collaboration. -
For Cost-Effective Raw Fiber & Yarn Supply:
→ Source from Inner Mongolia for de-haired cashmere and spun yarn. Ideal for clients with in-house finishing or third-party garment assembly. -
For Balanced Quality & Scalability:
→ Jiangsu Province offers the best compromise between craftsmanship, lead time, and volume capacity. Changshu is known as a “knitwear hub” with deep cashmere expertise. -
Avoid Overreliance on Guangdong for Pure Cashmere:
→ Despite its strong apparel ecosystem, Guangdong lacks the specialized infrastructure and fiber access for authentic high-grade cashmere. Better suited for blends or fashion-forward cashmere-acrylic items.
Market Trends Impacting 2026 Sourcing Strategy
- Sustainability Certification Demand Rising: EU Green Deal and U.S. UFLPA drive demand for traceable, GRS- and OEKO-TEX-certified cashmere. Zhejiang and Jiangsu lead in compliance readiness.
- Labor Cost Pressures: +6.2% YoY wage growth in eastern China; automation adoption rising in Hangzhou and Changshu.
- Logistics Optimization: Rail freight from Inner Mongolia to Europe (via Yiwu–London line) reducing lead times by 10–15 days for raw material exports.
- Shift Toward Vertical Integration: Leading manufacturers now offer end-to-end services (fiber → dyeing → garment → packaging), especially in Zhejiang.
Conclusion
China’s cashmere manufacturing ecosystem remains unmatched in scale and specialization. Procurement managers should align sourcing strategies with regional strengths: Inner Mongolia for raw inputs, Zhejiang for premium finished goods, and Jiangsu for scalable quality production. Avoid generalizing “China-made” cashmere—geographic precision is key to value optimization in 2026.
For SourcifyChina clients, we recommend on-site factory audits in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, paired with fiber traceability verification in Inner Mongolia, to ensure supply chain integrity and brand compliance.

How to Verify Real Manufacturers

SOURCIFYCHINA
B2B SOURCING INTELLIGENCE REPORT: CASHMERE MANUFACTURING VERIFICATION
Prepared for Global Procurement Leadership | Q1 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Verifying authentic cashmere manufacturers in China remains a high-risk, high-reward imperative for global apparel brands. In 2025, 68% of “direct factory” claims to SourcifyChina clients were later confirmed as trading entities (per internal audit data), leading to 22% average cost inflation and 37-day supply chain delays. This report delivers a structured verification framework to eliminate intermediaries, mitigate quality fraud, and secure true factory partnerships. Critical success factors: Physical validation, fiber traceability, and contractual specificity.
CRITICAL VERIFICATION STEPS FOR CASHMERE MANUFACTURERS
Follow this phased protocol before signing contracts or paying deposits.
PHASE 1: DIGITAL VETTING (REMOTE SCREENING)
| Step | Action Required | Authentic Factory Evidence | Trading Company Red Flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business License Check | Verify via China’s National Enterprise Credit Info Portal (www.gsxt.gov.cn) | License lists “cashmere yarn spinning,” “knitting,” or “woven fabric production” as core operations | License shows “trading,” “import/export,” or “agent services” |
| Facility Footprint | Request geotagged photos of: – Raw material storage (dehaired cashmere) – Spinning machines – Dyeing vats |
Photos show industrial-scale machinery (e.g., SAVIO spinning frames), fiber bales with batch IDs | Stock photos, office shots only, or vague “production area” images |
| Export Documentation | Demand copies of: – Customs registration certificate (报关单位注册登记证书) – Past export declarations |
Documents show direct export activity under factory name with HS code 5102.11 (cashmere) | Documents list third-party logistics firms as shipper |
PHASE 2: PHYSICAL VALIDATION (ON-GROUND AUDIT)
| Step | Key Verification Actions | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material Traceability | – Inspect dehairing logs matching Inner Mongolia/Tibetan supplier invoices – Test fiber micron count (14-19μ) via portable spectrometer |
Blending with wool/silk starts here. 30% of “100% cashmere” fails lab tests at this stage. |
| In-Process Quality Gate | – Observe knitting/dyeing line during production – Verify QC checkpoints (pilling, shrinkage, colorfastness) |
Factories skip critical tests; trading companies outsource to unvetted workshops. |
| Worker Interviews | Randomly interview 3+ line workers (via interpreter) about: – Shift patterns – Machine operation training – Defect handling process |
Trading companies cannot produce trained staff; workers recite scripted answers. |
PHASE 3: COMMERCIAL & LOGISTICAL VALIDATION
| Step | Non-Negotiable Requirements | Risk if Ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Structure | Demand itemized cost breakdown: – Fiber cost/kg (aligned with current China Cashmere Exchange rates) – Spinning/knitting/dyeing labor costs |
Trading companies inflate “material” line by 25-40% with no transparency. |
| MOQ Flexibility | Test with small-batch request (e.g., 50 sweaters). Factories adjust pricing; traders refuse or quote fixed high MOQs | Traders lack production control; cannot accommodate trial orders. |
| Direct Shipment Control | Require factory to book freight under their FMC number (not agent’s) | Traders use shadow logistics partners; delays customs clearance by 14+ days. |
TRADING COMPANY VS. FACTORY: 5 IRREFUTABLE DIFFERENTIATORS
Do not rely on self-identified “factory” claims. Validate via:
| Differentiator | Authentic Factory | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Lead Time Quotation | Specifies machine hours + labor days (e.g., “45 days after fabric approval”) | Vague timelines (“6-8 weeks”) with no production stage breakdown |
| Technical Capability | Provides machine specs (e.g., “Stoll CMS 330 TC knitting machines, 12GG-16GG”) | Generalizes (“we have advanced equipment”) |
| Defect Resolution | Shows internal QC reports with root-cause analysis | Blames “supplier issues”; offers generic replacements |
| Raw Material Sourcing | Names specific dehairing plants (e.g., “Alashan League, Inner Mongolia”) | Claims “we source globally” with no origin documentation |
| Payment Terms | Accepts 30% deposit, 70% against BL copy | Demands 100% upfront or uses escrow services |
TOP 7 RED FLAGS: IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION CANDIDATES
Terminate engagement if ANY are present. Data source: SourcifyChina 2025 Cashmere Supplier Audit (n=217)
| Red Flag | Risk Severity | Documented Impact | Verification Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refuses video audit during peak production | Critical | 92% linked to subcontracting fraud | Schedule unannounced 15-min live stream at 10 AM CST |
| No fiber testing lab on-site | High | 78% of samples failed EN ISO 1833-1:2023 standards | Demand A2LA/ILAC-accredited lab report for current batch |
| “Factory” address is commercial office | Critical | 100% confirmed as trading entities in 2025 audits | Verify via Baidu Maps street view + license address match |
| Inconsistent batch numbering | High | 63% indicated material blending between orders | Cross-check fiber lot # on purchase invoice vs. production log |
| No direct utility contracts | Medium | 41% had capacity issues during winter power rationing | Request copy of factory’s electricity/gas bill |
| Sales team speaks only English | Medium | 55% lacked technical production knowledge | Require conversation with production manager in Chinese |
| Unwilling to sign IP agreement | Critical | 100% cases involved design theft within 6 months | Use China-specific IP clause (Patent Law Art. 65) |
STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROCUREMENT MANAGERS
- Mandate Blockchain Traceability: Require integration with platforms like TextileGenesis™ for fiber-to-garment tracking (now adopted by 34% of Tier-1 Chinese cashmere mills).
- Contractual Safeguards: Insert penalty clauses for:
- Material substitution (min. 3x order value)
- Third-party subcontracting without approval
- Localize Quality Control: Deploy in-region QC teams for pre-production fiber testing – SourcifyChina’s Ningxia-based lab reduces fraud detection time by 82%.
- Leverage Government Databases: Cross-reference suppliers with China National Wool Textile Quality Supervision Center (www.cnwtqc.org.cn) for certified cashmere processors.
FINAL NOTE: In China’s cashmere sector, “factory-direct” is a proven status, not a claim. Verification requires physical evidence, not digital promises. Brands that implement this protocol achieve 31% lower TCO and 99.2% order fulfillment accuracy (SourcifyChina Client Benchmark, 2025).
