One-third of May has passed in the blink of an eye. It stands to reason that in previous years there might have been a wave of concentrated orders placed in May. After all, it is here When the real off-season comes in June and July, orders will drop sharply, and many manufacturers will even take holidays in the name of hot weather. Unfortunately, in May this year, the weather was hotter than before, but there were no more orders than before. ……
Not only that, the high raw material prices have also caused many Weaving factories are getting worse!
Raw materials remain high, and gray fabric prices continue to fall
“Nylon four-sided elastic sales in March and April The market price has been very good, and many manufacturers have received orders. However, the market price of nylon four-way stretch began to drop in May, but the price of raw materials remains unchanged, and many manufacturers are almost losing money.” A trader in Shengze area said.
It is understood that March is the best time to sell nylon four-way elastic. Several major factories have opened hundreds of machines to produce this fabric. Elastic fabric is the main hot-selling variety this year, and nylon four-way stretch not only has a soft color, soft body, good breathability, and comfortable wearing, but also has It is flexible and wear-resistant and has great potential for use in home textiles, men’s clothing, women’s clothing and other aspects. It is a fabric with a wide range of uses.
There are still many manufacturers of nylon four-way stretch with many machines in production. It is still a relatively hot-selling fabric, but the price of its gray fabric is in the market. The changes in the general environment have begun to decline, but the prices of raw materials have quietly increased a lot in just ten days.
(The picture above shows the increase of conventional nylon yarn)
“The price of nylon covered yarn in 40+20 specifications has increased from 33,000 yuan/ton to 34,000 yuan/ton in the past ten days, and the price of 70+40 specifications has increased from 26,000 yuan/ton to 26,800 yuan/ton. The price of gray fabrics From more than 4 yuan/meter, it suddenly dropped to 3.6 yuan/meter.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
In just ten days, the price of nylon composite yarn raw materials increased by 800- 1,000 yuan/ton, but the price of gray fabric has dropped by 0.4 yuan/meter. Doesn’t this mean that the textile boss is about to face a loss situation?
You have to take orders, and you have to bite the bullet even if you lose money!
“Except for this kind of four-sided elastic, which is better to buy in the market, other fabrics have begun to drop in price. Internet celebrity fabrics such as T8 and T400 have begun to become unsaleable. It seems that the price of gray fabrics has started to drop during this period. There are still orders for a few nylon four-way elastics, but we are going to lose money.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
What is most lacking in the market today is orders. Textile bosses will not give up any opportunity to take orders. There are few hot-selling varieties and competition is even more motivating. This is better than losing money if you don’t take orders. Naturally, some manufacturers will take action. In the early stage, there were traders who took orders at a loss, and in the later stage, weaving manufacturers inevitably produced at a loss.
In fact, since the outbreak last year, it has been very common for manufacturers to accept orders at a loss. Yes, although the domestic trade market has almost returned to normal levels this year, the foreign market is still firmly grasped by the epidemic. Without orders from foreign markets, domestic textile market orders have also been greatly halved. In recent years, demand has begun to decrease. , once again affected by the epidemic, in order to retain long-term customers, textile bosses can only bite the bullet and accept some “losing” orders, so that they can keep the mountains without worrying about having no firewood, but they are afraid that they will reject these orders arrogantly now. For a loss-making order, the customer will not even be seen in the future.
Of course, you should also give due consideration to loss-making orders, accept orders according to your actual situation, and accept orders with caution while minimizing your own losses.
Entering the off-season, the market may continue to be sluggish
The market has entered the fifth In the middle of the month, the atmosphere of the off-season is getting stronger and stronger. The once popular stretch fabrics have also lost their former luster. Many manufacturers have begun to complain about the difficulty in receiving orders. It is obvious that due to the outbreak of the epidemic in India, not many orders have returned to the country. Not only that, if the foreign epidemic situation is not under control, textile people must be alert to the risk of order cancellation.
The possible decrease in orders in May is not particularly obvious. Wait until June Month and July are reallyAs the new season approaches, I believe that the number of orders will continue to decrease. The current market situation is basically that most manufacturers are already facing the off-season dilemma. Only a few textile companies are receiving orders in a relatively good situation. As market demand gradually weakens, a few more manufacturers are facing off-season difficulties. Good textile companies will also face reduced orders. It is normal for orders to decrease and market conditions to deteriorate in the off-season. Textile bosses still need to adjust their mentality to welcome the next peak season.
In general, the market situation in the first half of the year has been much better compared with last year’s epidemic. At least the foreign epidemic has not been controlled yet. The domestic demand market alone will It is difficult to return to normal, and it will take time for demand to recover in the post-epidemic era. Perhaps there will be a peak season in the second half of the year.
