Just after the National Day, the textile market that was thought to be calm has actually already been undercurrent. An employee of a dyeing factory reported to the editor that the orders for T400 in their factory have been overwhelming these days, and they made 180 cylinders in one night. Normally, one dye vat can produce two vats in one night. These 180 vats require 90 dye vats to be completed in succession. 90 dyeing vats are used to produce one variety, which is a big deal for any dyeing factory.
And these T400 orders are all market activity. You must know that market activity was fully developed in early August, but it became dull within a month. But the T400 market product has persisted until now, which is really amazing.
One goes up and down, and orders for other fabrics are bleak
The market is limited. If one variety dominates the market, the living space of other fabrics will be squeezed. In fact, this is indeed the case. Looking at the entire market, nylon and imitation memory, which played the leading role at this time in previous years, are surprisingly quiet this year.
In the nylon category, nylon spinning has always “dominated” all kinds of dyeing vats in dyeing factories before the arrival of winter. Orders of hundreds of thousands of meters can be seen everywhere, and orders of millions of meters can be seen everywhere. Orders come as soon as they come, but this kind of grand occasion is no longer seen in dyeing factories now. Not only dyeing factories but also printing factories have also seen a sharp decline in the number of such varieties they produce. According to the person in charge of a water printing factory in Wujiang area, the nylon fabrics produced this year are less than half of those in previous years. Not only nylon fabrics, but also nylon Oxford fabrics that used to be made throughout the year are not much.
Imitation memory has the ability to replace nylon as the fabric for down jackets. Orders for nylon have dropped sharply. It should have been the time for imitation memory to show its talents, but its performance this year has been mediocre. Imitation memory has been around for many years and has always been a hot seller. It has also driven the finished product color matching market. But this year, there are already very few people interested in imitating memory, which also reflects the current predicament of imitating memory from the side.
It is both competition and elimination of life and death
The decrease in orders for nylon fabrics is mainly due to the shrinkage of the down jacket market. This winter is likely to be mild, which may make the down jacket market, which is already overstocked, even worse. Coupled with the sudden interruption of winter clothing such as woolen coats, it is reasonable for down jacket orders to drop sharply.
The decrease in imitation memory orders is also due to the decrease in orders for down jackets, which has led to the weakening of demand for corresponding fabrics. More importantly, it is replaced by the current T400. In the early days, imitation memory appeared to replace real memory. It quickly became popular in the market through similar attributes but much lower prices, and reaped a lot of profits. However, due to the low production threshold of imitation memory, all kinds of weaving factories have rushed in, and there has been serious overcapacity so far, which has also led to various “low price and low quality” competitions.
T400 has emerged strongly at this time. On the one hand, it has the properties of imitating memory, and more importantly, the elasticity of T400 improves the comfort of clothing. Although the price has increased compared with imitation memory, today’s clothing development pays more and more attention to fabrics, and is more accepting of “high-priced and high-quality” fabrics.
Imitation memory once replaced nylon spinning, but now imitation memory is threatened by T400. Several different fabrics are competing for each other in the same field. What seems like competition is actually a cruel elimination. It is not uncommon for imitation memory-related manufacturers to sell products and switch to T400 production. So what kind of products will replace T400 in the future?
To predict the future, you need to understand front-line needs
Talking about fabrics without clothing is just talking on paper. Fabrics have absolute say in how to make clothing. It can be said that the future development trend of fabrics depends on clothing. However, for the vast majority of us textile people, we have long been familiar with fabric knowledge, but there is a serious lack of channels for understanding clothing-related aspects. We neither know the current fashion trends, nor can we understand the direction of future trends.
In fact, for us textile workers in the Wujiang area, there is already a solution to this problem. The Jiangsu (Shengze) Textile Expo will be held at the Shengze International Convention and Exhibition Center from October 16th to 18th. Last year alone, it attracted more than 40,000 domestic and foreign clothing buyers, and this year it also added a yarn pavilion. There will only be a lot more customers to visit, and there is no need to go through all the troubles and hardships to cross the threshold of customers. You can easily communicate with the world’s first-line clothing companies at your doorstep, understand the real needs of clothing companies, and talk together. Opportunity to coorparate.
It is also of great significance to our clothing companies. The success of clothing is inseparable from design, but it is even more inseparable from fabrics that perfectly fit this. In the past, several fabric suppliers provided dozens of fabric samples, making it difficult for clothing companies to find the fabrics they wanted. But at the Shengze Textile Expo, more than 300 professional fabric production companies� Tens of thousands of fabrics with different styles and distinctive features will dazzle you.
During the Shengze Textile Expo, there will also be content related to the “One Belt, One Road” and a “fashion show” where many famous companies will predict fashion trends. It not only allows fabric merchants and buyers to understand future fabric development trends, but also knows where the fabrics should be sold.
The success of clothing cannot be separated from the support of fabrics, and the popularity of fabrics Sales are inseparable from the choice of clothing. Which fabric will sell best in the future is no longer a simple question of price, but which fabric makes clothing that has a better user experience and is more comfortable to wear. The best-selling myth of T400 is still unfolding, and another fabric that can replace T400 is on the way. As for which fabric it is, we will find out on the spot at the Shengze Textile Expo from October 16th to 18th! </p
