Some people say that 2019 will be the coldest winter in the textile industry;
Some people say that the textile industry is facing a heart-wrenching survival of the fittest!
In any case, the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rat is approaching. Although the weather is getting colder, the overall atmosphere in the textile market is relatively subtle. After all, there are less than 20 days left before the Chinese New Year, and some textile printing and dyeing factories have already issued holiday notices!
Some dyeing factories are unable to purchase goods due to “out of stock” and plan to suspend operations on January 6 Cylinder!
Recently, a dyeing factory in Wujiang area said: The cloth cannot be pulled in, and the warehouse has been liquidated! It is understood that this dyeing factory specializes in the printing and dyeing of home textile fabrics, and the recent large volume of warehouses is mainly velvet and linen fabrics used for sofas and pillows. Salesman Xiao Chen said: “The factory has been out of stock recently. Gray cloth cannot be brought in, and even several kilometers of cloth cannot be brought in. Customers are very anxious.”
Due to home textiles The fabrics are relatively thick, so the output of the setting machine is lower than that of ordinary clothing fabrics, which has led to the market explosion at this time. It is reported that the delivery time of the dyeing factory is at least twenty days. For this year, this delivery time This is already a good result.
Of course, other dyeing factories have also performed stably recently. Although this year’s market orders have come to an end, foreign trade orders are coming one after another. According to a salesperson from another dyeing factory: ” The work in the past two days has been better than before, but foreign trade orders are about to come in. We have customers who are making samples and are expected to ship large quantities of goods, so there will probably be work before the holidays.”
At present, the overall printing and dyeing delivery time in Shengze area is between 10-15 days. Compared with the phenomenon of warehouses being liquidated and the collection of blanks stopped from time to time last year, it is already slightly “shabby”.
As the downstream in the textile industry chain, printing and dyeing companies generally take holidays earlier. “Our factory plans to shut down the gas and cylinder around January 6. The setting machine is expected to be delayed. The holiday is not far away this year!” said a relevant staff member of the first dyeing factory.
This year’s holidays are ahead of schedule, and weaving factories will have holidays in mid-to-early January!
As far as the weaving market is concerned, the overall holiday this year will also be earlier than in previous years.
Take a textile factory in Wujiang area with more than 200 water-jet looms as an example. The company mainly engages in the domestic trade market. Domestic trade sales have shrunk significantly this year, so the manufacturer’s inventory has been At a high level, there are not many orders. In December, we have been taking orders as they come. There are not many orders left on hand. We are preparing to take a holiday in early January. The time to resume work after the holiday is usually around the eighth day of the lunar month.
Another manufacturer with more than 300 looms in Wuxi, mainly engaged in cotton and woolen products, also plans to have a holiday around January 10. In addition, many manufacturers visited also said that they plan to have a holiday in mid-January. Foreign workers may go home early, but local workers stay behind, so the holiday time is generally concentrated in mid-January.
“The holidays are early this year!” Mr. Chen, who has been in the textile business for more than ten years, said, “In addition to the Spring Festival holiday being earlier than in previous years, the main reason is the poor market conditions. The reason.”
According to the monitoring of China Silk City Network, the inventory of gray cloth in Shengze area was about 30 days in the same period last year, but it has been around 38 days in December this year. At a high level, the inventories of some companies with high inventories have been as high as 2-3 months, or even more than half a year, and most of them are conventional products such as polyester taffeta, pongee, and imitation silk. Many weaving factories with high inventories plan to take holidays at the end of December.
Weather problems are facing serious challenges, and logistics outage times
In addition, textile printing and dyeing companies are not the only ones who take holidays in advance. From the perspective of weather factors, the first snowfall in most areas in 2019 also came relatively early. Recently, due to the cold weather, heavy fog has blocked the highway in the north, and the roads in the southwest are generally icy and snowy. Transportation has been greatly hindered by the weather and logistics problems. It is also facing serious tests.
Therefore, the logistics department announced logistics suspension during the Spring Festival in 27 provinces and regions including Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Shanghai, Anhui, and Inner Mongolia.��Notice. According to the national logistics outage notice, the outages have started one after another since December 25, and are generally concentrated around January 7-10.
As the holiday plans of weaving manufacturers, printing and dyeing manufacturers are gradually introduced. After experiencing the impact of the extreme weaving market situation this year, the market has experienced a Waterloo plunge. In addition, the macroeconomic situation is expected to be lowered and the Sino-US trade friction has been back and forth, causing most midstream and downstream manufacturers to have a relatively pessimistic attitude towards the market in the coming year. Of course, rigid demand still exists, and the demand season in the weaving market will gradually arrive after the year. It is expected that the new year will be stable this year.
Finally, here are the recent thoughts of textile people:
Dear customers, please prepare your goods reasonably in advance, and try to place non-spot orders on Christmas If you place an order before the holiday, the start of work after the new year may be affected by factors such as the arrival of personnel and delays in the start of the dyeing factory. The delivery period before February 15th is unstable!
