The market has arrived in mid-to-late August, and the horn of the peak season has begun to sound, but two voices have appeared in the textile market…
“There has been an increase in proofing in the market, especially dyeing factories, which are very busy,” said Mr. Chen, who owns 60 looms.
“The orders received are now mainly small orders, and large orders have not yet been received. It is similar to last year, and it is still mainly old customers. Orders have increased after August compared with July.” Mr. Shi, who specializes in outdoor functional fabrics express.
“The current order situation is not optimistic. There is no increase compared to last year. There was a wave of market prices in early August, but now it has subsided.” Mr. Feng, who specializes in polyester woven fabrics, said.
“At present, they are all small orders, the ones with a few kilometers, and there are more of these. The orders are fewer than last year.” Domestic sales manager Shen said.
In fact, even in the off-season this year, we have not heard many textile bosses say that they have no orders to weave. Looking at the current order growth, there is indeed a polarization, although they are all small orders. , but it is indeed an increase compared with July, but some textile bosses said it is not as good as early August, indicating that the market has started now, but it is far from enough to talk about the peak season.
The order is real, but where has the cloth gone?
Since the beginning of this year, textile bosses have actually not lacked orders, and basic survival can be guaranteed. However, the real demand is not as much cloth as sold. So where have these cloths gone?
“Consumption is obviously not good, and everyone thinks business is not good, but cloth is always sold. Someone must be collecting and hoarding it. The quantity of these cloths will not be small.” Domestic sales manager Shen said.
First of all, there must be some that are actually used for demand. Since the policy was liberalized, many textile bosses have been doing well in receiving orders. Mr. Chen, who owns 60 looms, said: “Orders in August increased significantly compared with July. They are high-elastic, T400, nylon and other down jacket fabrics.” This period is indeed the time when autumn and winter fabrics start to take off, and there must be demand, otherwise textile bosses will not blindly stock up.
Of course, it is not ruled out that people like Nisi Fang do not know what is hot selling, but always feel that they need to prepare some blind stocking behavior. Similarly, there are obviously many orders, but the cloth has no effect.
Finally, with the continuous popularity of spot supermarkets, the demand for fabrics is also very large. There are hundreds of colors of the same fabric, and it also needs to be supported by inventory, which naturally requires a large amount of gray fabrics.
Now I understand that these cloths have not “disappeared out of thin air” and indeed have their merits. However, with so much cloth sold, did the textile boss really make money?
It’s true that you’re busy, but where does the money go?
“There has been an increase in proofing in the market, but now the proofing requirements are very high, customers are picky, and customers are in arrears with their payment, which is about one month longer than in previous years.” Mr. Shi, who specializes in outdoor functional fabrics, said.
“Customers don’t get their money back well. It usually takes 3-6 months, sometimes a year.” Mr. Chen, who owns 60 looms, said.
“The cash flow for payment is relatively large. New customers are all in cash. Individual old customers can owe money, and the cycle is about 1-3 months. The company’s main pressure is to collect the money, and some of them cannot collect it, and they are already in litigation.” Mr. Feng, who sells polyester woven fabrics, said.
“Our payment returns are relatively normal, but it takes about 2-3 months.” said Mr. Wang, who specializes in four-sided bombs.
“Customers’ refunds are not good, starting from 3 to 4 months, or even longer.” Domestic sales manager Shen said.
Originally, the profit situation this year was average, but now it is difficult to collect money. Two-thirds of 2023 has passed, but some textile bosses’ money is still “floating” outside. Even if they are really busy, they can’t see the money. Where can they go? Still pretty good.
Judging from the current market situation, textile bosses also have different views on the next “Golden Nine and Silver Ten”.
“The follow-up market situation is unclear, and there are difficulties for gold, nine and silver. Nowadays, all high-speed looms are used, and the number of peripheral machines is also increasing. There is serious overcapacity and serious inwinding. I definitely hope that the raw materials can be stabilized, otherwise the price of fabrics will not rise. There is a lot of pressure on profitability,” said Mr. Feng, who specializes in polyester woven fabrics.
“September and October should be good. I can’t say every year, but in the end the order situation is good. Orders should increase.” said Mr. Wang, who specializes in four-sided bombs.
“The market should be better. After all, the off-season is over and there is still demand.” Mr. Chen, who owns 60 looms, said.
“The market should be better. There will be no overdrafts if it is so bad in the past, and there will definitely be more orders. Seasonal effects will still increase in autumn and winter.”�Quotes. “Mr. Shi, who specializes in outdoor functional fabrics, said.
Some people think it will be good, some people think it will not be good. Everyone has different opinions on the later market situation. The editor and most textile bosses have relatively consistent ideas. The peak season cannot be too weak, but due to the severe impact of the market in recent years , demand recovery will definitely take time. While waiting, the most important thing is to continue to improve yourself.
