Abstract: This paper reviews current studies on textile and clothing industry from its spatial distribution mechanism, and its development and spatial layout all over the world and especially in China. Considering limitations and shortages in existing articles and books, we bring forward that we should pay more attention to enterprises of textile and clothing industry in the middle and western regions, and make an interpretation on new spatial distribution and industrial adjustment of Chinese textile and clothing industry from the global perspective. And we also need a systematic and comprehensive study on influencing factors and evolution mechanism of spatial distribution of textile and clothing industry in global, national and other different spatial scales.
