Everyone knows that the market for gallbladder is very hot recently, but when visiting the market, a textile boss said: “If you don’t have a solid foundation, you really don’t dare to touch gallbladder.”
As we all know, gallbladder fabric is an essential lining for general down jackets. The better the sales of the down jacket, the easier it is to sell gallbladder fabric. Therefore, according to the tradition of previous years, the fourth quarter is the home field of gallbladder fabric. The colder the weather, the greater the market volume. A typical “depending on the weather” type product.
According to the investigation, the price of gallbladder cloth has indeed been boosted by the cold air in the past two weeks. Gallbladder cloth companies have concentrated on raising prices, which can reach a maximum of 0.2 yuan/meter. But what now?
There are advantages and disadvantages to centralized price adjustment of gallbladder cloth
I remember a previous article said that the product Danbu is indeed a strange product in the textile market. Although it is a low-end product, it is precisely because it is low-end enough that once there is demand, the order volume is ridiculously large. However, as a low-end product, an inevitable problem is low profit.
Moreover, the seasonality of gall cloth is so strong that it is usually only sold for three months a year. During the rest of the time, it is basically kept in stock. Basically, as long as the weather is not cold, the price of gall cloth is either reduced or sold at a loss. Therefore, there are very few people who really specialize in making gallbladder fabrics in the market. Basically, there are just a few leading companies, which have enough funds to support the operation of factories. The small number of companies doing business means that they have a certain say in prices, but this right to say sometimes has advantages and disadvantages.
The market is not over yet, let’s cool down first
In the market, the prices of printing and dyeing factories and gallbladder fabrics are often used as indicators of market conditions. When the editor visited the market, some company leaders reported that many printing and dyeing factories are now experiencing liquidation. Printing and dyeing factories ship goods in 15 days or more, and most of these orders are market orders with relatively large quantities. The shipment situation of gall cloth is still very comfortable, and the market can see companies shipping goods in the middle of the night. This also shows that the market conditions are actually quite good.
But just this week, the price of gallbladder has been slashed! And the decline this time is not small, generally around 2-4 cents, which means that not only all the previous gains have been recovered, but even a little more. Obviously the market conditions are still very good. Normally speaking, the market conditions are here. After falling for a year, it is time to raise the price to regain some blood, and then have a good New Year. Why is the price of gallbladder dropped at this time?
This is mainly due to several reasons. On the one hand, it is because of the weather. After all, this “depending on the weather” product is inseparable from the influence of the weather. The temperature in the past two days cannot be said to be warm, but it is indeed not too hot. Low; on the other hand, when visiting the market, some companies reported that just this week, “Xinjiang Billet” invaded.
The influence of Xinjiang is late but arriving
With the rapid development and increasing production capacity of Xinjiang’s textile industry, its production costs are significantly lower than those in the southeastern coastal areas, which will have an increasing impact on traditional textile clusters. The current market competition is quite fierce, and many gray fabric factories are barely able to maintain breakeven operations. Especially for some conventional products, prices have basically been unable to fall. In this case, the price difference of one or two wool per meter of cloth will have a decisive impact on customers’ choice.
Of course, the current rumors about Xinjiang’s low billet prices are largely due to subsidies on freight costs. After all, the freight cost of the “Thousand Mile Invasion” is quite large, but this kind of subsidy cannot last forever, and the cost advantage is difficult to maintain forever. In the future, Xinjiang’s blank production may be more exported to Central Asia and countries along the route via land routes to meet the needs of surrounding markets, thereby forming a trend of blooming in many places with the textile industry in coastal areas.
But even so, under the influence of various factors, market products represented by gallbladder fabrics can never return to the glorious era of last year. Although end consumers still have a strong need for cold-proof clothing, if they want to make the same profits as in previous years It’s not that easy when the pots are full.
