This year’s market order situation is surprisingly uniform in both foreign trade and domestic trade. It is a commonplace that profits are thin. Textile bosses are also showing off their magic skills for profit, either speeding up machine production or “tampering with raw materials” “, Unfortunately, not every time we can successfully obtain profits, sometimes we even lose our troops even if we lose our wives”…
There is a shortage of gray cloth, and foreign businessmen demand compensation!
The shortage of gray fabrics in the domestic textile market is something that most textile workers “turn a blind eye to”, and the quota is usually 97%-98%. Generally speaking, everyone can accept that the reduction in gray fabric after unwinding is explained by the increase in shrinkage from 10% to 11% to 12% to 13%. However, if the domestic demand market can accept it, it does not mean that the foreign trade market can accept it.
“A batch of export orders some time ago, each roll was 200 meters, it was said to be 200 meters, but after the customer unrolled the roll, he found that it was only about 190 meters. For export orders to Indonesia, foreign merchants now require us to compensate them for their shortage of gray fabrics, and we have to bear the customs duties ourselves,” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
The textile boss calculated an account and found that each piece of gray cloth is 10 meters * 5 yuan = 50 less; the tariff for 10 meters of gray cloth is more than 5 yuan! The compensation for each piece of gray cloth is nearly 55 to 60 yuan, so the difference is about 0.3 yuan per meter!
This year’s market orders are basically low-profit Yes, maybe originally this export order would not be a loss, and even a small profit could be made, but in the end it may only be a loss, and the shortage of gray cloth was originally the textile boss’s own fault, but now it is simply a dumb man eating coptis, saying no when it is difficult. Come out.
Profits from orders are small, and textile bosses don’t want to
“Now the profit from orders in the domestic demand market They are all very low. There are many orders because many traders are hoarding goods and lowering prices. Many manufacturers are competing at low prices. There are many gray fabrics that are not cost-effective. However, in order to survive, they can only take orders. Mainly now. The cost is too high, and the price of raw materials is a promotion, and it is still at a high level. It would be reasonable if the price of raw materials during the epidemic last year and the current price of gray fabrics are changed.” said a textile boss.
For the above low-profit situation, the textile boss They must be trying their best to make up for the losses in the middle, and it is impossible to let themselves suffer regular losses. Although the shortage of gray fabrics is common, the textile boss himself does not want to, and there is really no way.
Indeed, what the market has heard most this year is that textile bosses complain about low profits, but this has become a trend and it will be difficult to change this status quo in a short time. , even though it is now the peak season in the traditional sense, in fact, textile bosses do not have many executable orders on hand, and the market polarization is also very serious. Five years ago, textile business would definitely be profitable, but now It is already saturated, and there must be textile bosses who cannot receive orders.
Is there still hope for “Golden Nine”?
It seems that one-third of September has passed, but the market has not yet shown signs of a steady flow of orders. Although there was an epidemic last year, But at this time, the textile boss was already very busy, and there was no low profit situation last year. The only situation where the textile boss had too much inventory and took the initiative to sell goods.
According to the current situation, the current raw materials The price still has a downward trend, and weaving companies don’t seem to buy it. Although they adhere to the principle of buying up and not down, the price has not yet fallen to the price that the textile boss wants. It’s not that there are no orders now, just However, the price is not as expected. I am only buying on demand, not in large quantities.
The signs of improvement in September have actually already started. The nylon fabrics mentioned earlier have begun to sell well again, and there are also many orders for autumn and winter fabrics that are not very conventional. Of course, the improvement of the market still depends on the support of conventional products, so the editor feels that the peak season in September is just late, not that it will not happen.
In general, the market this year cannot be described as poor. The demand is still there. The textile boss may just make less money this year and eat. I have suffered a lot of losses, so I feel that the market situation this year is not very good, but the actual order situation is much better than last year during the epidemic. It still takes time to wait. If the demand exceeds the supply, raising prices is not a matter of words.
