In the blink of an eye, it is mid-September, and the “Golden Nine” has just emerged. The weaving market, which had been silent for a long time, has also begun to have some splashes, and hot-selling fabrics have reappeared.
30D cotton feel T800 sold out
Do you still remember the fabric “dark horse” T800 2 years ago? Now, it has made a strong comeback and revitalized the fabric market! It is understood that the 30D cotton-feel T800 is a hot seller in the weaving market. The inventory is almost sold out and people have to queue up to get the goods. A manufacturer of elastic fabrics said: “We have 200 looms, and the startup rate is always 100%, and orders are continuously placed. Recently, many customers have come to us to get 30D cotton-feel T800, and they all queue up to get it.”
The main reason for queuing up to get this T800 fabric is the tight supply of its raw materials. It is understood that the current daily output of the polyester market is around 200,000 tons. However, the birth of a hot-selling fabric will quickly spread throughout the market, and a large number of manufacturers will follow suit. Therefore, everyone starts to compete for raw materials, resulting in not many raw materials available to each manufacturer. In addition, generally a water-jet loom can produce 7/80 meters of this kind of gray fabric in a day. The machine with a high rotation speed is only a hundred meters and the output is low. Therefore, after the inventory is sold out, you have to wait for the gray fabric on the machine to come off the machine. .
Another reason is the attractive characteristics of the fabric itself. This is a new fabric this year. In an environment where the entire market lacks bright spots, new fabrics tend to attract more attention. Of course, what’s more important is its own unique charm. This T800 fabric not only avoids the shortcomings of spandex that is easy to age, does not color, is not resistant to chlorine bleaching, is expensive, and the fabric is easy to curl, it also solves the problems of T400 high-elastic fiber, such as hard feel and high price. Unique luster, good cotton feel, soft and full feel, good elasticity… In addition to these perceptible properties, T800 fiber has high breaking strength, and the textile fabrics made are not easy to wrinkle, resistant to chlorine bleaching, and easy to dye. Let me ask, what designer wouldn’t love such a highly functional fabric?
Will following the trend in production lead to “recipients of the consequences”?
Behind the popularity of T800 fabrics, it has caused the editor to think deeply. How long can this wave of dividends last? Can it drive the peak season?
As the saying goes, “Things that are rare are valuable”! The same is true for the textile industry. Under the current situation of sluggish upstream demand and blowout downstream production capacity, perhaps only the production of differentiated and niche products can find a way out! This T800 fabric is a good proof. Now is the traditional peak season, and this fabric is the best choice for producing new autumn and winter clothing, so it will naturally have a certain market. And according to previous years, the best-selling fabrics in the second half of the year are stretchy fabrics such as four-way stretch, T400, and T800.
But then again, today’s weaving market is severely involution. It can be seen from the rush of manufacturers to buy T8 raw materials. After a new product comes out, countless manufacturers will rush to start production. Not only that, but now that the supply of raw materials is tight, even polyester factories will compete for this wave of dividends and begin to increase production. Then in the end, both the raw materials and the gray fabric will eventually become saturated.
In fact, since this year, the production of conventional water-jet products has been faced with an environment of overcapacity. Manufacturers of polyester taffeta, pongee, nylon, imitation memory, real memory, etc. have stated that they are already on the verge of losing money. If things go on like this, the T800 may suffer the same fate.
Postscript
The e-commerce “Double Eleven” and the Christmas season are about to come, but whether we can receive large-volume orders is not yet certain. At present, we can only feel that orders are being released one after another. Double Eleven and the Christmas season can only boost the market temporarily. The end demand is still shrinking. It is still difficult to change this year’s textile market. This wave of market is also difficult to have long-term sustainability. In the future, market demand and international trade will still have to be considered. The situation prevails.
