No, I don’t know. Recently, there have been no news about price increases, closures, or sellouts in Textile People’s circle of friends. At the beginning of the new year, textile raw materials that were priced at one price a day or even half a day have also recently begun to disappear. The situation of trucks queuing up to pull fabrics and dyeing factories bursting out of their gray fabric warehouses seems to have disappeared. It was promised that the textile peak season after the new year will last so short. What is this peak season like?
The gray fabrics in stock were snapped up, and no one cared about the high-priced gray fabrics
The textile market after this year’s Spring Festival The craze is basically generated by the interaction between the gray cloth market and the raw material market. The sharp increase in international oil prices has stimulated an increase in raw material prices. After the increase in raw material prices, the downstream market has rushed in to grab the low-priced gray fabrics stocked before. The reduction in inventory has once again stimulated downstream weaving companies to purchase raw materials. The cycle repeats itself, and the sales volume and price of raw materials and fabrics will soar after the new year. It definitely looks like the peak season is coming, but this peak season lasts quite short.
Not to mention that the price of textile raw materials has broken away from the upward trend It started to fluctuate sideways, which can be seen just by looking at the production and sales of raw materials. In the last week of the year, the production and sales of raw materials have exceeded 100% several times, but in recent days, the production and sales of raw materials have fallen below 50%. Of course, it’s not just raw materials, the recent performance of fabrics is also unsatisfactory.
According to the person in charge of a textile company, orders in their factory were booming after the new year, and some hot-selling varieties were swept away by some large customers. Because he was worried that raw material prices would fall again a year ago, he did not stock too much. After the inventory was used up, raw materials with increased prices began to be used immediately, and the price of fabrics also increased.
One of the fabrics has an old customer who has been ordering it, but the cloth sold for 3.05 yuan/meter two years ago. Now The price has increased to 3.5 yuan/meter, which is completely unacceptable to old customers. This old customer also started looking for other low-priced fabrics in stock on the market. Although manufacturers also quote based on raw material prices, drastic increases will still dampen downstream enthusiasm and even lead to the loss of customers.
Not only weaving companies have obvious feelings about the recent weakening of the textile market, but the performance of printing and dyeing factories is even more obvious.
There is a significant reduction in warehouse entry, and the level of busyness is average
After the beginning of the new year, orders from various dyeing factories are booming , the amount of incoming warehouses has surged, and the scene of gray cloth accumulation in the factory area is still before us, but the market situation of the dyeing factory has quietly changed.
First of all, the amount of warehouse entry has been significantly reduced. The recent decrease in orders from weaving companies is directly reflected in the changes in the warehouse volume of dyeing plants. According to the person in charge of a dyeing factory, their warehousing volume can reach about 1.6 million meters per day in the next three or four days after the new year. However, recently the warehousing volume has been significantly reduced to 600,000-700,000 meters per day. This volume is no longer less than the previous period. Half of it. It is expected that with the further release of the backlog of orders from the year before, the amount of dyeing factory warehouses may decline again.
End customers find it difficult to accept the high prices in the current market, which has also prompted many customers to cancel orders. Especially after the recent increase in fabric prices, dyeing fees have also been increased. According to a person in charge of a foreign trade textile company, the orders they have now cannot be filled at the current price. Not to mention the dyeing fee, the price of fabric alone is the price of existing raw materials after falling by 1,000 yuan/ton. Currently, they are in a stalemate with their customers, and they can only wait for customers to passively accept the rising prices or cancel orders. After all, they are unwilling to bear the losses caused by rising costs.
Similar situations like this, where there are orders but cannot be made or dare not be made, often happen after raw materials, fabrics, and dyeing fees are significantly increased in a short period of time.
In the past, the market has been accustomed to chasing rising prices. Rising raw material prices will always stimulate a certain degree of market stocking, fabric and dyeing costs A rising market will accept it calmly. However, downstream customers have been very sensitive to drastic changes in prices recently. They only want the low-priced fabrics in stock from years ago and are unwilling to accept price increases. It is not difficult to understand that this phenomenon occurs. In the real peak season, market orders are concentrated, and price increases will naturally be accepted by the market. However, if the quality during the peak season is not pure and the motivation for orders is insufficient, the price increase will naturally be questioned in various ways. In other words, the current market is still far from the peak season. </p
