Although recently there have been reports of hot-selling fabrics on the market and dyeing factories being liquidated, it seems that the off-season is over and the peak season is ahead of schedule. But in fact, the limited improvement and limited sales cannot be compared with the peak season. Most of the conventional fabrics on the market are still struggling to survive.
The gray cloth has been in stock for more than 100 days, and there is no market for it.
“Our weaving factory cannot Large, there are only 30 relatively old water-jet looms, and they only make three varieties of 190T, 210T, and 240T polyester taffeta. Due to the epidemic, business is not good this year, and gray fabrics are piled everywhere in the warehouse. There are about 100 There are more than 10,000 meters of inventory, which is equivalent to more than 100 days of production in our factory. Now it is almost impossible to drive a small car to load goods,” said a person in charge of a textile company.
It’s not scary to have high inventory. What’s scary is that we can’t stop production yet. According to reports, since the factory is not large and the number of workers is not large, it does not dare to stop production and take holidays easily. Because once production is stopped and income is reduced, those workers can easily run away. This year, due to reduced income, many workers have returned to their hometowns or traveled to other places. Their factory is naturally not very attractive in all aspects, so it will be very difficult to recruit people.
As long as the machine does not stop production, the inventory can only grow endlessly. Moreover, such small factories often do not have sales departments in the market, because the cost of a sales department of hundreds of thousands a year is too high. Without a sales department, an important way to source customers is naturally missing. In the end, most of these weaving factories hidden in the corner can only rely on old customers for support. Occasionally posting advertisements in various textile groups are quickly overwhelmed by other information. .
Old looms are destined to have limited production varieties. Among the limited production varieties, it is no surprise that the most conventional products on the market must be selected. However, there are not a few weaving companies with similar ideas, so the more common the fabric, the more serious the supply exceeds the demand. Even if there is no epidemic this year, the inventory of this type of fabric may only change in 50 or 70 days.
Some people say that if the inventory cannot be sold, then sell the goods at a low price if that doesn’t work, but the fact is that selling goods is no longer so attractive.
The goods cannot be sold, and no one wants the gray cloth in stock
“We have been making a 50D*75D satin from the beginning of the year to now. This order is ongoing, the color and type have not changed, and we have to make a large one of tens of thousands of meters every month. Provide us with There is only one weaving factory that produces goods. Their overall business is not good this year and their inventory is very large. It is said that each variety has more than 500,000 meters of inventory. But when we buy goods from him, we never ask for inventory, only recently woven cloth.” A trader Shang said.
“As long as fresh blanks are used” is basically a common practice in the recent textile market. According to a person in charge of a weaving factory, for their current gray fabric orders, customers have specified that they only want recent gray fabrics. In the current market situation, the only people who can come to get goods are old customers, who basically follow the customer’s requirements, and it is impossible to deceive customers.
So there is a contradictory scene in the factory. There may not be even one meter of gray fabric produced recently, but the inventory a few months ago, or even half a year ago, is still piled everywhere. . Of course, this situation is understandable. On the one hand, it may be because some customers make lighter colors and are afraid that the fabrics in stock will be too dirty and torn, which will affect the quality of the finished fabrics; on the other hand, they are also worried that the fabrics in stock are available in various batches of raw materials and will not be made. The color of a batch of fabrics is likely to vary. What’s more, it’s a buyer’s market now, and customers are qualified to choose the best gray fabrics. The freshly woven fabrics are definitely much better than those in stock.
Over time, the fabric sales on the market will inevitably be some inventory that no one wants for a long time. It is obviously impossible for these discarded fabrics to attract some traders who value fabric quality, and can only flow to some fabric dealers or low-price and low-quality clothing merchants. How big is the market for these buyers, and can they continue to take in gray fabric inventories? Obviously, relying on these buyers, the inventory of gray cloth cannot be digested at all, and even if the goods are sold at a low price, they may not be able to sell them.
Compared with some of the best-selling fabrics in the current textile market, more Most of them are conventional fabrics that are constantly being accumulated and cannot be thrown out. These fabrics will cause many textile companies to fall into the trap of broken capital chains, and will also accelerate the escape of capital from these conventional fabrics. Perhaps in the future, companies that have suffered from conventional fabrics may no longer be willing to produce. Maybe conventional fabrics can do it by then. No more routine! </p
