Nowadays, various regions have adopted varying degrees of control over the sporadic epidemic, and many regions have achieved effective results. However, this menacing epidemic has still caused an unspeakable blow to the textile industry, although logistics has begun to follow the measures. However, the shrinking demand has actually extended from the terminal to the upstream, and the entire industrial chain has been affected. In the past bustling market, most people have not left the place for a long time and the flow of people has been reduced, so their own profits must have been reduced.
Stocks rise due to startup and stabilization
Due to the impact of the epidemic in various places, there are very few large orders. The epidemic prevention battle that has lasted for nearly two months has also slowed down the production and operation of textile enterprises. According to statistics from sample companies monitored by China Silk City Network, the current operating rate of looms in Shengze is around 65%. Compared with last week, the operating rate has remained stable. Although it is already at the end of the peak season, compared with the same period last year, the start-up rate this year has dropped by about 12%. The decline in production enthusiasm has also increased the voice of reducing production and suspending production.
The weaving inventory is around 35.5 days, which has been rising slightly. Although logistics and transportation have begun to gradually become smoother, which can alleviate the previous embarrassing situation where textile enterprises were unable to carry out production and sales, the road to epidemic prevention is still a long way to go. After all, personnel management in logistics has become stricter, and freight costs have actually increased. It is understood that transportation costs have increased by about 30% in some areas, and sometimes it is also a problem to find drivers.
The terminal is helpless and helpless
Although some regions have now adjusted their own control policies, some clothing markets have reopened. But lost time cannot be regained. Spring has passed for many people before they have even bought a few pieces of clothing. Most consumers like to buy clothes in the current season. For terminals that rely on seasonal sales, if they miss the season, the backlog of inventory on hand will further affect their own capital flow. In the long run, it will also affect the sales in the second half of the year and the sales volume in the second half of the year. Your own living space will also be greatly squeezed.
If the epidemic continues, both physical and online sales will suffer a huge blow. As far as the editor is concerned, I bought a set of pajamas online some time ago and waited for a while. Finally, the logistics slowly delivered the clothes. Half of the items were sent back to me due to the impact of the epidemic. This is not an isolated case. In fact, many people have had their packages returned due to the epidemic, and the reason behind it is more helplessness. If the terminal is like this, then each link in the industrial chain will also be troubled by demand.
Recently, there have been many calls for maintenance of upstream polyester terminal equipment, production reduction and price increase. As of April 21, according to data from Silkdu.com, the price of FDY150D was 8,630 yuan/ton, an increase of 330 yuan/ton from last Thursday; the price of POY 150D was 8,630 yuan/ton, an increase of 280 yuan/ton from last Thursday. ; The price of DTY 150D is 8,630 yuan/ton, an increase of 200 yuan/ton from last Thursday. Although the price increase has caused profits to gradually recover, in fact, in the face of weak demand and rising costs, price increases are also expected.
Under the epidemic, all walks of life cannot escape this predicament for the time being. They can only hope for the victory of epidemic prevention and return to normal life as soon as possible.
