Recently, a sample hunter and order follower reported to us that his workload has been reduced a lot recently. A while ago, he was busy looking for samples from morning to night, but now it only takes one or two hours a day to finish. Moreover, the market is also much deserted, with significantly fewer people riding electric bikes back and forth looking for something to look for.
The decrease in the number of people looking for samples reflects the decrease in samples in the market. This phenomenon can be understood as the end of samples and orders are placed; or the market turns cold and the vitality decreases. Of course, the actual situation is obviously the second one!
The cold winter is coming, not only the season but also the market
Although this year is likely to be a mild winter, the cold air is still coming. But the late cold air cannot save the textile industry that depends on the weather for food. Information about the sales of various fabrics has begun to appear in the circle of friends, not just gray fabrics, but more finished fabrics.
Take the 75D untwisted imitation memory as an example. Last year, the price of gray fabric of this fabric was around 2.4 yuan/meter, but now the finished product is white and costs 20,000 yuan. The price for more than 1 meter is also 2.4 yuan/meter. The price of 75D weft-twisted imitation memory gray fabric last year was around 2.8 yuan/meter, but now the selling price of black finished products is only 3.5 yuan/meter. You must know that the dyeing fee for these fabrics is at least 1 yuan/meter, not to mention that the dyeing fee for black, which is definitely super-cost, will only be even higher.
The price of these imitation memory finished products that are currently being sold would only be equivalent to the price of ordinary polyester taffeta finished products in previous years. But whether to keep the goods for the New Year or to use cash for the New Year? This multiple choice question is correct. It is not difficult for textile people to choose.
Since the dyeing factory said goodbye to market products, it once again welcomes “Winter” is coming. The person in charge of a dyeing factory in the Wujiang area reported to us that market fabrics such as T400 were almost overwhelming the dyeing factory a while ago, but as market products shrank, such fabrics were instantly withdrawn. Old varieties such as pongee, peach skin, high-elastic pongee, and imitation silk have begun to play the leading role on the stage, but they cannot support the production capacity of dyeing factories. The dye vat operating rate immediately dropped from 100% to 70-80%, and based on the current amount of gray fabric entering the warehouse, it will not be long before it returns to about 50% of the summer off-season level.
It is said that clothing companies will stock up appropriately during the Chinese New Year, while textile companies will have a wave of concentrated shipments. As the last wave of market conditions this year, textile people are waiting for it, just hoping it won’t come too late.
There is no shortage of orders for textile edge products throughout the year
When it comes to textiles, what naturally comes to mind is the corresponding clothing. However, the downstream of textile fabrics is not limited to clothing. Some towels, bathrobes, tablecloths and even The lining of the packaging box is also made of textile fabrics. The textile market has weakened this year, but some marginal textile products that have been ignored by us are still enjoying life.
A textile company in Wujiang area told us that they used to only have a weaving workshop, but in the past two years they have added their own clothing workshop. Although it is a clothing workshop, basically no clothing is made in it, only towels, bath towels, etc. are made. The fabric needed to make this kind of finished product is double-sided velvet. The manufacturing workshop in the factory now mainly produces this kind of gray fabric, and it is completely overwhelmed. In the past month, it has received orders for two cabinets. The order in hand now is estimated to be Do it by March next year.
Another textile trader has a similar situation. They provide packaging box linings to a well-known cosmetics brand. Although the individual materials are not much, the profit is still high even if the quantity is large. OK. This year they have been receiving continuous orders, with quantities of 10,000 to 30,000 pieces being common. We are currently working on an order of 150,000 pieces that we just received, and customers have been asking us to stock up on more goods so that we will not be too busy placing another order before the year.
Many seemingly insignificant textile products are precisely the necessities of our lives. The order volume of such products is often not affected by the market, and you can experience price reductions in the upstream and downstream during the off-season. the benefits of.
The declining textile market affects all aspects of the textile industry , although some niche products and marginal products have not been greatly affected, they are not worthy of all textile people to follow. Adjusting the business direction and upgrading the industry is the way to break the situation. </p
