As a barometer of the textile market trend, the recent status of printing and dyeing plants may not be satisfactory. Last week, various printing and dyeing factories were still full of orders, and even gray fabrics were queued up to enter the warehouse. Squeezing and expediting were common. However, the orders of many dyeing factories have been significantly reduced recently, and the peak season characteristics shown in the early stage have begun to decline significantly.
According to a dyeing factory worker, the factory was very busy a week ago, and there were queues everywhere in the workshop, but it has obviously gotten better recently. Orders can basically be produced smoothly.
According to the person in charge of another dyeing factory, the recent arrival of gray fabrics into warehouses has been gradually decreasing. At the best time at the beginning of the year, their factory imported more than 1 million meters of gray fabric into the warehouse every day. Later, it dropped to about 700,000 meters. Last week, it dropped to about 600,000 meters. Now it is only 500,000-600,000 meters. According to the current trend, the overall order volume will weaken in the future.
The status of dyeing factories is actually the current status of the textile market. Although orders from printing and dyeing factories were booming a while ago, we should not be fooled by the scene in front of us. Because this type of order is not sustainable.

Themarkethasalwaysbeen”buyup” Don’t buy or sell.” Last year, raw material prices continued to fall. Almost all weaving markets were buying and using and rarely hoarding raw materials. However, raw material prices will rise after the end of this year, and the weaving market is still not very enthusiastic about stocking up. The main reason is that the price increase of raw materials this time is too large and the time is too urgent.
The most intuitive performance on the fabric side is that the price of gray fabrics differed by 0.3-1 yuan/meter before and after the year before, which is basically an increase of 20-30%. We must know that the current profits of downstream fabric products are mostly only about 10%, and a sharp increase in costs will eat up all profits.
For orders placed years ago, if the original price is maintained, traders will inevitably lose money; if the price is raised, it will be difficult for customers to accept it. In the end, traders are often in a stalemate with their customers, and orders are often delayed and canceled.
According to an outdoor fabric trader, this year they have also raised fabric prices due to the increase in raw material prices, but end customers simply do not accept it, and orders are all It was cancelled. Now I only have some prototypes on hand and no decent orders. The market this year even feels worse than last year.
Market orders that require fast time and low prices can only be said to maintain the normal operation of the printing and dyeing factory, and it is difficult to bring excessive profits to the printing and dyeing factory. Take the recently popular 100D four-sided elastic dyeing fee as an example. Currently, the dyeing fee of most dyeing factories is more than 2 yuan/meter, but the dyeing fee requirement of the market order is often around 1.5 yuan/meter. There is a huge difference between the two. It is difficult for printing and dyeing to obtain a real peak season by relying on market orders alone. In addition, when the real peak season comes, market orders will be avoided, thereby avoiding situations where it is difficult to negotiate the dyeing fee price and the delivery time is extended.
Due to the problem of excessive price increases of terminal fabrics and clothing, ordersContinued shrinkage. At present, the prices of upstream raw materials have begun to fall, but it is unlikely to fall to last year’s prices. After all, the epidemic situation has improved and the global economy is already in a state of recovery. The final result for downstream customers can only be to accept the price increase. Perhaps only then can the printing and dyeing market really improve.
