This Shengze Textile Expo brought together 395 textile and chemical fiber companies, including many powerful Shengze textile companies such as Hengli, Shenghong, Huajia, and Fuhua, as well as many small and medium-sized gray fabric companies and traders. Comes with 100,000 types of fabrics to interpret the market needs that are close to fashion and fashion.
This year’s textile market is still half-covered by the pipa. The weakening demand and the sluggish peak season seem to be the market conditions before September. Can the market after the “National Day” be “thousands of dollars”? “It will come out when you call for it”? Let’s listen to the answers from the exhibitors at the Textile Expo and see what they think. Which fabrics do they think can lead the new trend in the fabric market?
Some companies’ orders increased by 30% after October
First, let’s review the textile market before September. The firepower of “Three Silver and Four” is not enough, the peak season market is fleeting, and the off-season enters early at the end of May. The “Golden Nine” is not nine, which is a review of the textile market before September. After October, the textile market has undergone significant changes. Sales of autumn and winter fabrics have heated up, conventional chemical fiber fabrics have also begun to loosen up, and the overall market has shown an upward trend.
The company has something to say
Shangxuan Textile: Orders increased by 50% in October
A Shengze industry and trade enterprise that mainly produces pongee and nylon fabrics reported that the current orders on hand can last until the end of the year. Domestic trade is sold to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and foreign trade is sold to Pakistan. Orders in October increased by 50% compared with September, which is gradually improving.
Longxing International: Orders continue throughout the year and increase after October
An industry and trade enterprise in Jiangyin area that mainly focuses on Oxford cloth said , there are always orders on hand, mainly Oxford cloth, exported to India and other Southeast Asian countries. Orders began to increase after September, and since October they have been about the same as in September.
Rongbo Weaving, another industry and trade enterprise in the Shengze area that also produces Oxford cloth, has also seen strong orders. Manager Shen, the person in charge of the company, told the editor: “This year’s flame retardant series , matte series, and recycled series of Oxford cloth are all very popular, especially after October, gray cloth orders and fabric orders are fully booked. The current overall orders on hand can be completed by the end of the year, but there is another custom-woven gray cloth that can be completed by May next year. Month.”
70% of the sample companies surveyed have seen their order situation improve to a certain extent. Orders on hand are able to maintain normal operations. Even chiffon and nylon, which have been slow-selling in the imitation silk series this year, have begun to improve. According to reports from several companies, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of meters of goods are sold every day.
grey fabric inventory has dropped slightly, and the pressure on enterprises has eased
On the other hand, the operating rates and inventories of weaving manufacturers can also reflect market changes. The looms of the companies surveyed are basically fully operational, but there are still a small number of companies whose operating rates have risen to 90%. According to the monitoring of sample enterprise data from China Silk City Network, the operating rate of water-jet and air-jet looms in Shengze area is around 90%. In terms of inventory, there has also been a decline as the supply of gray cloth has become loose. According to the monitoring of sample enterprise data of China Silk City Network, the inventory of gray fabrics in Shengze area is about 38 days.
Yuchen Group It has 3,200 water-jet looms, mainly producing nylon fabrics. Sales manager Manager Yu revealed that the current inventory in the factory is about one and a half months, and the machines are fully operated. For such a large-scale factory, the inventory is not large. Wujiang Kaile Inkjet Weaving Factory mainly produces four-way elastic, imitation memory, and other fabrics. Manager Feng said that the machines are currently running at full capacity, maintaining stable production, and there is no production shutdown or holiday. The inventory is generally close to three to four million meters, mainly because we have a wide variety of products, many of which are gray fabrics for sale in stock.
Recycled fabrics have become the “new favorite” of the market
Although 70% of the surveyed companies reported an increase in orders, this wave of hot sales It has not spread to the entire textile market, and is still weak in some areas. The editor believes that the reason for this is mainly due to the different demand for products, especially the autumn and winter fabric products in the second half of the year. In view of this textile expo, the editor has sorted out the best-selling products in the second half of the year. Recycled fabrics have become the “new favorite” of the market, stretch fabrics are coming in force, and Oxford fabrics are “latecomers to the top”.
Recycled fabrics: “Orders have been very good throughout the year, especially for recycled fabrics. Hundreds of thousands of meters of orders are placed every day. Currently, demand exceeds supply! The number of recycled fabrics is higher than last year Doubled, the recycling trend in Europe has taken shape, so our fabric manufacturers are receiving more and more orders for recycled fabrics.” said Manager Shen of Suzhou Yuanrui Textile.
Matt fabrics: Matt series fabrics are also more prominent this year. Many new products have been launched on the market and have been favored by buyers.favor. Manager Shen of Rongbo Weaving told the editor: “A 150D*225D matt recycled Oxford cloth is very popular and is used for outdoor sportswear, jackets, strollers and other clothing products. The machine is too late to make it, and it now takes 15 days to get the goods. It takes about half a month for fabric orders to be shipped.”
T series fabrics: “Compared with last month, orders for T400 and T800, which are more popular this year, have increased. This Zhou has received several orders worth tens of thousands of meters. The cool silk cotton series is also relatively popular, and is generally made of elastic fabrics.” said Manager Wang of Wujiang Xinwangsheng Silk Co., Ltd. Stretch fabrics have been on the rise since the beginning of this year and have gained momentum since September. Most of the dyeing orders in dyeing factories are made of stretch fabrics.
It is difficult to grasp the future fashion trends
Fashion trends are ever-changing and will change from time to time. This year, elastic fabrics and recycled fabrics will be used As a trend, will these fabrics still be trend-setting next year? Will new fabrics become mainstream next year? These are the issues that companies will pay more attention to and discuss with each other.
Mr. Zhou of Shangxuan Textile believes that elastic fabrics will still be more popular in the future. After all, they are widely used and functional. But whether the market next year will improve compared with this year, or Depends on clothing requirements. Mr. Shen of Suzhou Yuanrui Textile analyzed: “The popularity of recycled fabrics is in sharp contrast with the bleakness of traditional fabrics. It is the difference between the red ocean and the blue ocean. Recycled fabrics will be a major trend in the future, and basically all powerful companies are going into this area.” development, but it is still uncertain whether domestic recycled fabrics can become popular. Domestic fabric procurement is still based on cost-effectiveness.”
Can “Double Eleven” and “Christmas Season” become turning points?
It is said that the main influence on the textile market this year is Sino-US trade relations, and the trade relations between the two sides have been back and forth, which has a great impact on the market. Whether the following “Double Eleven” and “Christmas Season” can become a turning point in the market will also have a greater impact on enterprises.
Manager Liu of Jinsen Textile believes that due to the ups and downs of Sino-US trade relations, many foreign traders have switched to domestic sales, and this year’s order volume has decreased by 1/3. Both Double Eleven and Christmas will be stocked 1-2 months in advance. Basically, orders for Double Eleven start in July and August, and Christmas orders start in October. Therefore, the orders for the second half of the year should be almost completed, and orders will fall back in the future.
According to the market conditions of previous years, September and October are the busiest periods in the second half of the year. Orders will gradually decrease after November, but orders for next year will gradually be placed. From this, the editor believes that the subsequent market conditions will continue until the end of October and early November, and then there will be a decline. However, we do not rule out the phenomenon of “Double 12” order filling, which may drive another wave of market prices.
