“We are making elastic fabrics. Recently, customers have placed a lot of orders. Now we have a 350,000-meter one in production, and another one with a 250,000-meter length. Let’s talk again, the order can basically be fulfilled in December.”
“We mainly sell warp knitted fabrics. The market situation in September is slightly better than in August. At this stage, the order can be fulfilled. By the end of September, the main products will be suede.”
“Our main products include memory T400, high-elastic four-way elastic, rayon, rayon, etc., and the current order volume It is quite stable and can last until the end of the year.”
……
The recent textile trade market has clearly revealed a slight improvement. There are signs that many traders reported that orders in September increased significantly compared with August. And these orders have a certain degree of sustainability, ranging from the end of September to the end of the year in the long term.
This turn for the better is both expected and unexpected. On the one hand, this is because we are currently in the traditional peak season for textiles, and autumn and winter fabrics will inevitably appear intensively during this time period. On the other hand, many brand clothing companies have clearly reduced or canceled autumn and winter orders due to the epidemic.
But no matter what, an improvement in textile orders is always good news, but this wave of improvement is limited and not complete. Because most of them only stay at the trade end, while the status of the printing and dyeing end has not improved, and has even declined compared to August. The construction start-up remains at a low level and the delivery time is also very short.
The operating rate is 60%, and the delivery time is short. Less than 7 days
Contrary to the situation on the trade side, orders in the entire printing and dyeing market not only did not improve in September, but actually declined compared to last month. . Even those dyeing factories that were out of stock and stuck in queues because they could process elastic fabrics in the early stage are gradually losing their popularity and returning to calm.
According to the person in charge of a dyeing factory, their order situation improved in late August. Although the daily arrival of gray fabrics into the warehouse is not stable, sometimes it can reach 700,000. meters per day, sometimes only about 400,000 meters per day. These amounts were achieved in August this year, which was reasonable even in previous years. So in general, the factory was quite busy at that time, and the operating rate could basically be maintained at 70-80%. However, the recent order reduction has been serious, and the daily warehouse entry was only maintained at 300,000-400,000 meters. The factory operating rate could only be maintained at 300,000-400,000 meters. About 60%.
With fewer orders, the delivery time of the dyeing factory is also relatively short. The long one will not exceed 15 days, and the short one will even take only 3-5 days. The overall poor condition of the dyeing factory has also led to the weakness in dyeing fees. On the one hand, in the face of the recent uproar in dye prices, most dyeing factories have responded silently. On the other hand, many dyeing factories take the initiative to contact their customers and make it clear that the dyeing fee can be negotiated if there is an order.
The market orders have dispersed, and the number of orders cannot support the overall situation
The fabric market in previous years, especially during the In September and October, various dyeing factories will inevitably have a big liquidation. This situation occurs mainly because market orders and ordered fabrics appear in the dyeing factory at the same time. Especially the huge number of market orders can easily cause a hot situation in the dyeing factory.
However, this year both the market orders and the number of orders have dropped a lot compared to previous years. Not only are the timing of the appearance of these two orders also skewed. A large number of market orders that should have appeared in September have been moved forward to August, which is why the order situation of dyeing factories in August is generally better. At the same time, due to the limited duration of the reduction in the number of market orders, in previous years it could even last until November. However, by September this year, the market had basically disappeared, and the order volume of dyeing factories also dropped immediately.
Although subsequent traders placed orders, the same shrinking quantity is more difficult to support the production capacity of the dyeing factory. At the same time, because the number of traders engaged in market orders is relatively small, but there are many traders engaged in ordinary orders. As a result, there is an illusion in the market. There were not many orders on the trade side in August, but now there is a significant increase in orders everywhere. It seems that the market is indeed improving. But in fact, the dyeing factory has seen a shift from market orders to orders, but the quantity is far less than in the previous period.
In general, the current improvement in the textile market is still limited , the reduction and absence of market orders caused the dyeing factory to lose an important customer. September of this year may be the weakest peak season for all dyeing factories, but what is even more pessimistic is that even those traders who have received orders are also not optimistic about the market outlook. The overseas epidemic continues to worsen, and some improved areas may have a second outbreak, which has raised questions about the sustainability of textile orders.
