Not long ago, a piece of news about a printing and dyeing company in a certain area appeared in the circle of friends.
Although the news has not been officially confirmed and the language is relatively vague, “one stone stirs up a thousand waves”. In a short period of time, there are different opinions and discussions in the industry.
There is an endless stream of information, each of which can be considered important.
In recent times, information related to the printing and dyeing industry has been emerging in an endless stream, and each one is very important!
First of all, a new list has attracted widespread attention in the printing and dyeing industry. The “List of Key New Pollutants under Control (2023 Edition)” has been officially implemented, which clarifies 14 categories of key new pollutants under control including nonylphenol, pentachlorophenol, and short-chain chlorinated paraffins and their prohibitions. , restrictions, emission restrictions and other environmental risk management and control measures will directly affect the green development of the printing and dyeing industry.
Secondly, since June, Shaoxing has vigorously carried out various safety rectification and reshaping operations. After on-site unannounced inspections, it was discovered that some printing and dyeing companies have many safety hazards, and many companies have been ordered to suspend production for rectification. On July 6, nine inspection teams composed of special printing and dyeing rectification teams and experts conducted centralized random inspections. They found that some printing and dyeing enterprises had safety hazards and ordered them to make rectifications within a time limit.
Of course, it is not just Shaoxing that is rectifying printing and dyeing enterprises. On June 22, 28 printing and dyeing enterprises in the Shengze area had basically completed the rectification work and passed the acceptance inspection; on June 30, Shishi fully launched six major improvement actions for green printing and dyeing.
Finally, according to the China Electricity Council’s forecast, the country’s highest electricity load in the summer of 2023 will be about 1.37 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 80 million kilowatts to 100 million kilowatts. Due to the dispersed textile printing and dyeing production capacity and relatively high electricity consumption, the combination of multiple factors has led to the industry becoming the first choice for power curtailment. Some predictions indicate that local high temperatures may lead to insufficient power deployment in late July and early August, leading to periodic “power rationing” in the industry.
These are closely related to the printing and dyeing industry, some have become facts, and some remain to be seen.
Vacation or rotation, cylinder shutdown is common
After looking at the information level, let’s talk about something practical.
With the advent of the traditional off-season, the operating rate of printing and dyeing enterprises has dropped unexpectedly, and the downward trend has no intention of stopping. Monitoring data from Silkdu.com shows that so far, the operating rate of printing and dyeing companies in the sample has remained around 65.8%, a cumulative decline of 7.2% compared with the beginning of June.
The survey results show that most printing and dyeing enterprises are operating in average conditions, and only some enterprises can maintain normal production. The part with insufficient orders is either due to insufficient production due to the lack of support from large orders, measures to concentrate inventory start-up due to insufficient production capacity, or intermittent shutdowns due to lack of busy production.
A salesperson at a dyeing factory revealed that the phenomenon of cylinder shutdown still exists in the factory. The number of dye vats stopped is basically the same as in June, with about 10 dye vats stopped. In terms of the number of warehouse entries, the total number of warehouse entries in the first week of July was around 3 million meters. Compared with June, the number of warehouse entries increased instead of decreasing. Overall, the factory’s production performance is pretty good.
When asked whether there would be job rotation or holidays, the salesperson said that the previously inactive workshops were let go for a few days, but generally they were still taking rotational holidays.
The core of the current textile printing and dyeing market is mainly manifested by insufficient demand. High temperatures coupled with the off-season consumption, the current situation of insufficient demand may continue, and the polarization among enterprises will become more obvious. In the short term, it is normal for some printing and dyeing companies to reduce production and take turns to take holidays. If measures such as power rationing occur in the future, it may not be a bad thing for these companies.
The advent of the information age brings convenience but also brings troubles. Let us wait and see what impact the sustained high temperature will have on the textile printing and dyeing market.
