Recently, as the epidemic in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai has been gradually brought under control, the market situation seems to have improved. Since the beginning of May, there have been rumors in the market that some seasonal fabrics have begun to sell well, and small orders have also increased in the market. Through this survey, we learned that It seems that this is indeed the case.
“There is basically no inventory of gray fabrics at present, and they are all shipped as soon as they are woven. It has dropped a lot from the beginning of May.” said a boss who specializes in stretch fabrics.
“We mainly do domestic trade, including some conventional varieties. Recently, we have received more orders for pongee and Oxford fabrics.” said a boss of various woven fabrics.
“Our factory is currently 100% operational. The inventory has dropped a lot compared to the beginning of May, and now the inventory is no more than 2 million meters.” A weaver mainly engaged in pongee textiles said.
According to the above-mentioned textile bosses, the market situation is indeed much better than in the previous period, but it is not really a peak season. It can only be said that demand has returned as the epidemic situation improves.
Market orders improve, regular fabrics sell well
“Orders are much better now than at the beginning of May. They are basically T400, high-elastic and other stretch fabrics, and the order is basically tens of thousands of meters. The order volume is definitely larger than in the previous period, and imitation silk is also easy to sell in the market now. .” said a boss who specializes in stretch fabrics.
“The order situation is a little better now. There have been new orders recently, but they are not big, more than 10,000 meters. It is more Oxford cloth. I heard that Oxford cloth is very easy to sell.” A person who sells various woven fabrics the boss said.
“The situation of our inventory was fine in the early stage, but it has hardly improved now. It is mainly made of high-elastic pongee. The production volume in one day can be sold out, and the inventory has not increased.” A weaver specializing in pongee said.
The hot sales of products such as T400, high-elasticity, Oxford cloth, and imitation silk all indicate that market demand is increasing. The popularity of elastic fabrics is all year round. Even if there is no epidemic, elastic fabrics are still the “Ivy” in the market. Because of the imitation silk Due to the epidemic in the early stage, the peak seasons for gold, silver, and silver were not prosperous. The popularity of seasonal hot-selling products such as imitation silk was almost 0. Now that the epidemic has improved, it has reached the time when it should be a hot seller. As for the popularity of Oxford cloth, it was also said in the early stage, Picnics have become a popular activity this year, and there are all kinds of tents on the grass. As the main choice of tent fabric, Oxford cloth has naturally become popular.
However, although many fabrics are hot-selling, the situation inside the dyeing factory is still average.
The dyeing factory is in general condition and shipments are basically smooth.
“The dyeing factory is more complex now, with everything available, but it is still a little more elastic. I don’t feel that the life is decreasing at the moment, but it is not very good, and it is almost the same as before. There is no jamming phenomenon. It is done during normal hours and the shipment is quite good. Smooth. The dyeing fee still depends on the quantity. Generally, the quantity is not particularly large, so the discount is only 1-2 points.” said a boss who specializes in stretch fabrics.
“The current situation in the dyeing factory is average, which is considered normal. There is no need to queue up, and we can basically make it when we arrive.” said a boss of various types of woven fabrics.
“Nowadays, there are more polyester taffeta, imitation memory and nylon yarn in dyeing factories. It is the off-season, so it is not busy and there are no queues. If you have the quantity, it will be easier to negotiate the price.” A weaver specializing in pongee fabric said.
Generally speaking, whether the market is prosperous or not depends on the situation of the dyeing factory. Judging from the current warehouse and shipment situation of dyeing factories, the market has only improved slightly. It is far from enough to say that it is the peak season. Therefore, perhaps half of the small orders placed in the current market are caused by stockpiling, not real demand.
The price of raw materials is quite high, and textile bosses are under pressure to move forward!
“My factory hasn’t bought raw materials recently because we stocked up a lot at the beginning of the year and haven’t used them up yet. Plus the current price is high, so we haven’t bought any. The price of raw materials may go up a little later, but it won’t be too much.”
“Raw materials have increased now, but most gray fabric factories have not increased their prices. If the quantity is large, we can still negotiate. Generally speaking, gray fabric prices are not high.”
“When the price of raw materials increases, we will not buy a lot. We will buy it after a few days of production, and we will basically buy half a month’s supply. Because the originalThe price of materials is high, and if it falls, you will lose money if you stock up too much. It should not rise again in the future. The market conditions are not good. If the price rises too much, the factories will be shut down. ”
Affected by the price of crude oil, the price of raw materials has been at a high level this year, which has also led to the problem of high fabric costs. Buyers who are accustomed to low prices will definitely find it difficult to accept the increase in fabric prices, so they have repeatedly lowered the price. , the textile boss had no choice but to accept it in order not to lose customers.
Freight charges rise, profit margins shrink further
“Logistics has been normal recently, and delivery has also been normal. Our factory is in Henan, and the goods can basically arrive every other day. The freight has definitely increased compared to last year, but we have chartered the truck for many years, and the freight is not bad.”
“Domestic logistics is pretty good now, and basic shipments can be made. Even though it’s a few days slower than before, it doesn’t matter.”
“Logistics has become smoother and there is no impact, but prices have increased a lot and profit margins have become smaller and smaller.”
At present, the logistics situation has basically returned to the original state, but according to the above textile boss, the freight situation has definitely increased compared with the previous period, which also means that the already small profits have become even smaller. The original cost was too high, which caused the textile industry to The boss is under great pressure. Now the freight has also increased, and the profit has been reduced. The textile boss said: If you keep doing this, you will lose money!
According to the current situation, the market has indeed improved compared to the previous period. However, due to cost factors, textile bosses actually have no money to make, and the off-season is about to begin. Market demand will definitely fall back, which makes it difficult for textile owners to make money. The textile boss feels that the coming days will be even more difficult. In addition, the market demand has begun to decrease in the past few years. Most market people believe that the market situation in the second half of the year will be uncertain.
