As the epidemic is gradually being effectively controlled, it is inevitable that logistics will slowly resume its previous flow. But for now, the logistics situation has basically returned to the good state before. In terms of express delivery, except for the possibility of encountering a stop zone on the way, there is still no special impact on the entry and exit of trucks on the basis of completing the epidemic prevention requirements. problem, but according to some bosses’ comments, shipping costs have increased! Less profit! Is there any way? There is no way. If you don’t sell it, how will you live your life?
There are still orders in the market
Although, affected by the fluctuations in international crude oil prices, raw material prices have been at a high level this year and cannot come down. Coupled with the epidemic, the peak season has come and gone without a trace, demand has plummeted, and fabrics and gray fabrics have no way to rise if they want to follow the rise. It’s already considered good if customers don’t lower the price, let alone increase the price. However, it is still not as bad as the bottom, giving the market some breathing room.
Now everything is slowly improving. As for the market now, it cannot be said to be the peak season. It can only be said that there are some orders! But something is better than nothing. Now that the market is gradually recovering, there are mainly elastic fabrics such as T400 and Oxford fabrics on the market. Although it is 10,000 meters or tens of thousands of meters, the order quantity is at least larger than before.
And it is understood that a manager of a company that mainly sells bile cloth said: “The current orders are okay, much better than before, and the price has not been reduced. They are mainly sold to other regions, so logistics and transportation are more important, not to mention freight. , at least the time is much better now.” Indeed, as long as there are still orders, whether it is a loss to clear inventory, or a new order after the peak season, no matter it is more or less, it will always matter. It’s not that strong either.
Increase in operating rate and decrease in inventory
It is precisely because textile companies have received new orders that it proves that the market is indeed gradually improving, and demand has at least come back a little bit. Some time ago, in addition to the decline in demand due to the epidemic, oil prices remained high, and some companies were also affected by environmental protection. Manager Shen, who runs Danbu, also said: “Some days ago, the factory started and stopped due to environmental protection. Now it is normal and the power is up.” Yes, there are orders.”
It can be seen from the Shengze Index of the Ministry of Commerce that the operating rate of downstream weaving enterprises has increased slightly. The easing of environmental protection policies, coupled with the recent improvement in the domestic sales market, has accelerated the shipment of gray fabrics, and the start-up load of water-jet looms has increased overall. However, due to order restrictions, the increase has been limited, so the start-up rate has increased to 70%.
The number of orders received has increased compared with last week, and the delivery speed of gray cloth has improved slightly. Therefore, the inventory of gray cloth has dropped to about 35 days. Some bosses who specialize in woven fabrics and elastic fabrics also said that the inventory is now much better than before, and has dropped a lot.
Judging from the current situation, we can only say that it has improved at this time, and some demand has returned before June or July. But in fact, whether it is the rising prices of raw materials, transportation, or labor costs, these are things that companies cannot avoid. In fact, the off-season is just around the corner, and demand will definitely fall again, not to mention that the cost is so high now. , even if there is hoarding, it is impossible to stock up in large quantities. After all, hoarding in today’s market requires taking great risks. So bosses need to be even more cautious!
