Peach skin gray fabrics are on sale
“Recently, our inventory of gray fabrics has been cleared, and we use the raw materials we buy now to weave the fabrics. The price of polyester yarn has increased again, so Gray fabrics can only rise a little, ranging from 0.01 to 0.02 yuan/meter.” said Mr. Wang, the person in charge of a peach skin manufacturer.
Mr. Wang also said that shipments were very poor in May, with more than 1 million meters of inventory. Promotions began in June, and shipments improved until At present, the inventory has basically been cleared. Among them, flat peaches are relatively easier to sell. Most specifications are not in stock and are all ready-made. A small portion of oblique peaches are in stock.
In addition to the peach skin manufacturers mentioned above, there is another manufacturer Peach skin manufacturers also said that this year’s peach skin sales have been smooth since the beginning of the year, and have not been affected by the off-season recently, so the sales are very stable. In addition, production has been limited for one month and the operating rate has remained at 70%. Therefore, there is basically no inventory in the factory this year, and the supply of certain specifications is even somewhat tight.
Although the peach skin factory sold out its inventory at a discount, it actually shows that there is still a certain market for peach skin in the near future. If there is no market and no demand, even if the price is reduced and sold, no one will take it. Just like the gray fabrics of the imitation silk series, many manufacturers started discount promotions as early as May. Until now, the inventory is still rising slowly. What I fear most is “price but no market”.
The price of peach skin velvet fabric fluctuates greatly
Peach skin velvet is in good demand, but it is an old product , there are many manufacturers on the market, and the competition is quite fierce. There are still many manufacturers engaging in price wars in the market, and prices are also relatively confusing. Due to the high accumulated inventory in May, the above-mentioned peach skin manufacturer has given some discounts based on the original quotation in order to remove part of the inventory, which is about 0.05-0.1 yuan/meter. After the price reduction, there is basically no profit at all. It is just to reduce inventory, return funds, and maintain production.
But no one expected that the price of polyester filament began to reverse at the end of June. In just half a month, the price had risen by more than 600 yuan/ton. When there is no inventory of gray fabrics, weaving manufacturers can only use purchased raw materials to produce ready-made fabrics. The real-time price of polyester yarn has a great impact on the cost of gray fabrics. Therefore, peach skin manufacturers regret that they should not give discounts in the first place. sell. Now, in order to cope with the rising costs, we can only increase the price by 0.05-0.01 yuan/meter based on the previous quotation.
Yuan/meter
The price trend of gray fabrics from the above peach skin manufacturers is as follows, based on 85 grams Take Pingtao as an example. The price in May was 2.05 yuan/meter. In June, the price dropped to 1.95 yuan/meter, a decrease of 0.1 yuan/meter. In July, it fell back to 2 yuan/meter, an increase of 0.05 yuan/meter. It can be seen that it is often easy to reduce the price of gray cloth, but it is very difficult to increase the price. This is a long-term bad habit in the gray cloth market and is difficult to reverse.
It is easy for gray fabrics to fall in price but difficult to increase prices
In the final analysis, today’s gray fabric market is in the off-season after all, and the demand is still insufficient. However, it lacks the confidence to raise prices, and most of the products are not selling well, so competition for discount promotions is very high. Even the “crazy” spandex yarn has little impact on the price of downstream spandex gray fabrics. It stands to reason that if spandex increases by 500 yuan, the price of gray fabric will increase by a few cents, and four-way elastic is currently the most popular gray fabric, but most four-way elastic manufacturers are still standing still. They said that raising prices would mean losing customers, and they could only hold on with the previous prices.
As far as polyester is concerned, the price increase is far less than that of spandex, and currently Polyester prices have gone through ups and downs like a roller coaster and have fallen back again. The gray fabric market has also entered its slowest period, and the supply of gray fabrics may further decrease. Therefore, maintaining capital and clearing inventory is not necessarily a bad thing. Most of the gray fabrics sold at discounts are cash returns, which is something that all weaving companies currently want. Although there is no profit, with enough funds, when the polyester yarn is on sale again in the later period, it can be bought at the bottom and better prepared for the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten”.
Although most textile professionals predict that the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” period in the second half of the year will be more prosperous, they still do not rule out the possibility of a reversal. Therefore, if there is demand and orders in the market, it is a wise move to offer discounts and promotions with guaranteed capital and reduce inventory. After all, inventory is like a time bomb that will “explode” accidentally.
