With the arrival of the end of the year, the textile market is no longer as lively as before, and the printing and dyeing market has gradually become deserted. In the past few days, various printing and dyeing factories have issued holiday notices one after another. As the last gateway of the textile industry, printing and dyeing factories , its lightness directly reflects the current true state of the textile market, and the off-season has arrived.
The editor recently visited several friends who are salesmen in printing and dyeing factories. One of them said that he has no life now and has taken a vacation for himself. However, no life means no money. These days too difficult.
Another friend said to the editor: “Now the volume of warehouses has been significantly reduced. I don’t know what to do. I just play with my mobile phone every day.”
The deserted printing and dyeing market is mainly due to the fact that the market has entered the final stage and gradually entered the off-season!
01Winter fabrics are overdrawn in advance
We have been working on winter fabrics for almost a whole year this year. When it comes to the time when winter fabrics should shine, they can no longer work. After “Double Eleven”, the number of orders increased. It has dropped significantly, and the upstream slump has directly affected the activity of the printing and dyeing market.
At present, the overall operating rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has declined, now down to 72%, and all textile clusters have a downward trend. Let’s look at it specifically. Shengze’s water-jet production is at 70%; Changshu’s warp knitting is less than 80%; Haining’s warp knitting is slightly below 70%; Changxing’s water-jet production is around 70%; Xiaoshao’s circular knitting machine is above 50%. Through visits to the market, some textile bosses also complained to us, “Now I don’t dare to go on holiday because of the cost of factory buildings and machines, so I can only open less, but at least I have to open it to make inventory. Done.”
02Overseas epidemic affects the operation of foreign trade orders
According to previous years, November to the beginning of next year is a good time for foreign trade orders. However, just when this wave of orders was just picking up, we encountered a new mutated virus “Secret Kron”. You must know that in terms of textiles, our country is a large textile exporter. Clothing companies around the world need our country’s exports, and the sudden epidemic has caused the loss or reduction of this part of foreign trade orders.
And judging from the current situation, it is difficult to control the epidemic abroad. At present, some countries are locking down cities, resulting in the inability to export domestically. This has seriously affected the current market confidence. A textile company mainly engaged in foreign trade The boss said: “Only when the epidemic gets better, our business will be easier to do. Other factors can be overcome, but the epidemic really can’t be helped.”

The market is weak, but dyeing costs are still supported
The operating rate of dyeing factories is currently in a tepid state, remaining below 80%, which is at a lower level compared with previous years. This is mainly due to the current order volume being affected. There are no gray fabrics coming into the warehouse. The previous warehouse explosion scenarios and delivery delay problems no longer exist. “Expedited orders” have even been phased out.
The dyeing fees that had been in the air before have calmed down at this juncture. Since the “dual control” restrictions, the dyeing fees in printing and dyeing factories have continued to rise, and the current dyeing fee prices are in a stable state. . However, I recently visited the market and heard that steam has increased, and the increase this time is not small. It has increased again by about 30% on the original basis. Therefore, in the short term, although it has entered the off-season, the price of dyeing fees does not seem to be affected by it.
Taken together, the current order sustainability in the market is weak, and the number of gray fabrics entering warehouses from dyeing factories is showing a downward trend. As the end of the year approaches, as usual, the last wave of orders has arrived. With the end of this wave of orders, the printing and dyeing market has also declined along with the gray fabric market. It is expected that the printing and dyeing market will still be mainly consolidated in a narrow range.
