This year’s textile market can be said to be irregular. In the past, the low and peak textile seasons were very clear. March and April in the first half of the year and September and October in the second half of the year were generally the peak seasons for textiles. There are relatively few orders in other months, which belongs to the off-season, especially July and August. Due to the hot weather and the blind spot for orders in the spring, summer, autumn and winter clothing seasons, it is basically the weakest point of the whole year.
However, this year’s textile market is a bit out of line. Basically no one in the market enjoyed the peak season of March and April. Instead, various cancellations of orders and postponements of payments tortured all textile people. Of course, it is understandable, after all, it was at the outbreak point of the epidemic. However, in the recent off-season of July and August, the market has abnormally shown many signs of improvement, especially in dyeing factories. During the peak season, gray fabric warehouses were burst and delivery delays occurred from time to time.
The dyeing factory’s warehouse is full and the delivery time has begun to be extended
Anyone who has had contact with the dyeing factory recently Everyone has heard more or less that the dyeing factory has a peak season in the off-season when there should be no orders.
According to the person in charge of a dyeing factory, the regular volume of gray fabrics in their factory has increased by leaps and bounds recently. A month ago, the daily warehouse volume was less than 400,000 meters, but recently it has increased Occasionally it can reach about 700,000 meters. You must know that the processing capacity of the entire factory is about 700,000 meters per day. Now this amount can basically maintain 100% operation. So far this year, that is, when the order backlog was at the beginning of the year, the purchase volume has exceeded 700,000 meters per day. It can be said that the recent order volume is a high level throughout the year.
The sudden increase in orders from dyeing factories, to some extent Delivery time has been significantly extended. According to a trader, they are doing foreign trade orders, and a dyeing factory they were working on recently has been liquidated. Their orders come in many types and colors, but the quantity is not large, and the order takes at least 2-3 days to queue up. Even when production starts in the workshop, the speed is extremely slow. Basically, people don’t go to the factory to rush, and orders stop at a certain link. The delivery time is generally more than a week, and even difficult orders cannot be shipped within 10 days.
The dyeing factory has indeed become unusually busy recently, but this busyness does have limits, or there are choices.
The opening rate of live orders is low and the order stamina is insufficient
Everyone familiar with the market knows that the recent market The best-selling fabric varieties on the Internet are mainly elastic fabrics. When it comes to dyeing factories, the busy ones are also factories that mainly produce elastic fabrics, while dyeing factories of other fabric types are still deep in the off-season. quagmire.
According to an employee of a simulated silk dyeing factory, they also had products on the market some time ago, but only one of the three workshops had good orders. But after more than a week, the workshop’s output also dropped. Since they mainly produce and process imitation silk fabrics, they cannot compete with those professional dyeing factories, and they do very little elastic products. There has been basically no activity recently, and the activation rate is only about 50%.
This phenomenon of low operating capacity is not only reflected in some dyeing factories with fewer orders, but also in some dyeing factories with large incoming warehouses. The dyeing factory mentioned above, with a daily volume of 700,000 meters, is still taking turns to rest, and its overall operating rate is only about 60-70%.
According to reports, although the The warehouse volume has increased a lot, but it is not sustainable. Occasionally, the entry volume can reach 700,000 meters in one day, but it may drop to more than 400,000 meters the next day. If the rotation is ended, all the gray fabrics will be consumed in one day, but the workers will have no work to do the next day, so the factory workers will still keep about 1/3 of the workers on rotation. Moreover, most of the fabrics entering the warehouse are elastic, and there are too few other varieties. Some machines and equipment are not used to process elastic fabrics, so there is no need to call all the people.
Although the recent performance of dyeing factories has been extremely impressive, textile workers generally lack confidence because everyone understands that stretch fabrics alone cannot actually sustain the peak season. . In the clothing market, it is impossible for all clothes to be made of the same type of fabric. In other words, the market demand for any kind of fabric is limited. With the current explosive growth of elastic fabrics, the market demand will be quickly met, and subsequent orders will not last long. March, April, July, and August do not have peak and off-season as usual, so there is a big question mark as to whether the peak season in September and October can come as scheduled. </p
