The crackdown on Xinjiang apparel firms has encouraged them to explore domestic sales channels within China. As per a Global Times report, China Colored-Cotton Group is focusing on the domestic market like an agricultural enterprise which is cooperating with Alibaba's Tmall to expand domestic market sales.

Similarly, a public cotton company in Xinjiang that engages in cotton picking, gathering, cleaning, processing, embossing and packaging invested in independent research and development of new products and domestic procurement. It has introduced a cotton picker that is 30-40 percent more efficient than ordinary machines, and costs less than two-thirds of the price of its American counterparts, while the performance is almost the same.

Xinjiang machine-picking rate has exceeded 90 per cent, reveals ata released by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Xinjiang. The rate is expected to reach 88 per cent in whole Xinjiang this year, said the agriculture ministry. China produced 5.91 million tons of cotton in 2020, of which Xinjiang produced 5.16 million tons, accounting for 87 per cent. China's demand for cotton reached about 8 million tons last year, as per statistics from China Cotton Industry Association.
