Differentiated fabrics have always been popular in the textile market because of their special attributes. Similarly, differentiated raw materials are also more expensive than polyester. For a long time, differentiated raw materials have become the “hot meat” in the hands of raw material merchants. They are generally sold in The price is more than ten yuan per kilogram, but the market has been sluggish in the past few years. Conventional raw materials such as polyester yarn have gone up and down without any major changes. On the contrary, the prices of SPH and CEY have plummeted.
“Now the selling price of differentiated raw materials such as SPH and CEY is less than 10 yuan/kg, which may be only a few yuan different from the price of ordinary polyester yarn.” said a textile boss.
In addition to the impact on the cost side, the decline in raw material prices is undoubtedly due to the reduction in demand. Indeed, this has become the biggest concern of textile bosses.
SPH and CEY fabrics are unsalable
Although these differentiated fabrics are different from conventional fabrics, the volume of differentiated fabrics in the market in recent years is not small. Once there are too many of them, their situation will not be too easy. In this year’s market, everyone There are also a lot of them. Even the sales volume of conventional fabrics is average, let alone such differentiated fabrics.
“Fabrics such as SPH and CEY are both unsaleable and have not been easy to sell this year. Many manufacturers have extremely low inventories, so they will naturally stop buying raw materials. If the demand is gone, the cost will not rise no matter how high it is.” said the textile boss.
In previous years, this SPH fabric would have been considered an Internet celebrity product among fabrics, especially in spring and summer. In previous years, there was always a period of time when it was their home market, and it was hot-selling for a long time, but this year it is not. I haven’t heard any news about it. You can imagine how much inventory the textile bosses have created while holding on to them.
Is the market getting worse year by year?
When these hot-selling products in previous years lose their popularity, I always feel that the market is missing something. In addition to the regular fabrics that occasionally sold in the past, I heard that this year there are big sales and price increases. It seems that I am afraid, and the duration is also very short. , many traders are hoarding goods, and textile bosses also complain that the market is getting worse year by year.
Although this year’s inventory is not as high as forty days in previous years, the high level in previous years was also caused by textile bosses hoarding goods. The inventory may be reduced to more than twenty days after a peak season, but this year’s inventory has remained at around 35 days. I don’t see any movement. They say they are controlling inventory, but it shows from the side that the volume of gray fabric this year is really not as good as last year.
The textile market is oversaturated, the demand in the export market is insufficient, and no matter how many orders there are in the domestic market, they cannot support so many textile companies. Naturally, some textile bosses are not doing well in receiving orders. Of course, there are also many companies with orders. Some textile bosses said: Factory It’s always busy here, and the machines are basically running at full capacity. Sometimes it may be too late. In a severely polarized market, it’s not possible to judge the market situation in terms of good or bad. The market conditions are still very controversial, but for those who don’t have orders, For the boss, the textile market is indeed getting worse year by year.
It can be seen from the bottom of the decline of differentiated raw materials that only the most conventional products remain on the market for a long time. Whether it is raw materials or fabrics, the price rises or falls and ultimately remains at the same level, while special products have a very high starting point. Is it price or profit? But over time, we will face constant price drops.
Generally speaking, whether the market is good or not depends on conventional fabrics.
