Not long ago, a printing and dyeing giant released a performance forecast for the first half of the year. It is expected that the net profit attributable to the parent company will be 36 million yuan to 49 million yuan. Compared with the same period last year, it will decrease by 70.49 million yuan to 83.49 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 58.99%-69.87%. .
The notice explained that “in the first half of the year, affected by factors such as macroeconomics and weak downstream market demand, the company’s dyeing fees dropped significantly year-on-year, and the profit margin narrowed.”
Obviously, this situation in the printing and dyeing industry is not an isolated case. After entering August, some people in printing and dyeing enterprises are happy and some are worried.
Sorrow:
Work is not started uniformly, and holidays and rotations are real.
In recent years, the operation of printing and dyeing enterprises has generally been under pressure. The main reasons are: first, affected by various macro factors, the prices of main raw materials have remained high and fluctuated, causing printing and dyeing enterprises to have high energy costs and highlighted cost pressures; second, demand recovery has not been as expected, and prices have The transmission to the downstream of the industrial chain is not smooth, and profitability is greatly reduced.
Especially after entering the traditional off-season, the consumer side continues to weaken, domestic sales orders decrease, foreign trade orders are insufficient, and the continuity of orders is severely tested. As a key link connecting fabrics and clothing, the printing and dyeing industry has naturally suffered greatly.
Monitoring data from Silkdu.com shows that as early as early June, the operating rates of printing and dyeing companies in the sample had loosened, and the downward channel was opened. As of August 7, the average operating rate of dyeing plants remained stable at 63.8%.
At present, the textile market is still at the intersection of the off-peak and peak seasons, and domestic and foreign trade orders have not arrived in large quantities. As a result, printing and dyeing companies have experienced a shortage of orders, and insufficient production capacity has led companies to adjust their production models. Some dyeing factories have concentrated on casting blanks for production, and some companies even have a situation of “waiting for rice to be delivered.” As a result, intermittent vacations, job rotation, etc. also appeared.
In order to alleviate the order shortage, many printing and dyeing companies were forced into “involution”. The emergence of measures such as discounts on dyeing fees and exchanging quantity for price has made profit margins even worse. In this regard, relevant people said frankly: “Reducing prices regardless of costs is not a good phenomenon!”
Hi:
It has improved somewhat, with a slight rebound in warehouse entry and startup.
It is said that polarization is the new normal of the market, and this statement also applies to the printing and dyeing industry.
In market research, a trader said, “Recently, some dyeing factories in Fujian have been very busy, rushing to produce fabrics for outdoor clothing. Perhaps the brands have begun to prepare autumn and winter clothing.” At the same time, another A textile company also lamented, “It’s been difficult for dyeing factories to ship out goods recently. It takes almost ten days to ship. I’m very anxious to wait for orders.”
Looking at this situation, it seems that some dyeing factories are already busy. With questions, the editor interviewed the business staff of a dyeing factory.
The salesman revealed that since August, our business has indeed been good, and both warehouse entry and startup have picked up slightly. In terms of startup, it increased by about 5% compared with the same period in July, which is barely considered to be fully activated. In terms of warehouse entry volume, approximately 3.4 million meters were entered into the warehouse in the first week of August. Compared with July, the warehouse entry volume continued to rise.
When asked whether the delivery date was extended, the salesperson from the dyeing factory said helplessly, “Sometimes the goods really can’t come out. Some small customers need it very urgently, and there are big customers in front of them squeezing the vat, so they can only queue up.” Waiting. Then, when the off-season comes, the factory must try its best to control cost expenditures. The dye vats are basically open just enough, which will naturally affect shipments.”
From this point of view, although the overall orders in the printing and dyeing industry are insufficient, there are still individual dyeing factories that are gradually becoming busier and have significantly increased orders compared with the previous period.
On the whole, the performance of printing and dyeing companies is uneven, and the pressure on profitability of the printing and dyeing industry still exists. During the off-season, printing and dyeing companies use measures such as reducing dyeing fees and controlling costs to gain breathing space. How will printing and dyeing companies respond to the unclear market outlook?
