The time has come to mid-July, it is a hot day and it is the off-season. Textile companies have fallen into the “curse” of the off-season. Summer is not a harvest season. While facing challenges, there are also more opportunities.
The temperature of 37 or 8 degrees Celsius cannot stop the determination of textile companies to prepare for the second half of the year.
Opportunities only come to those who are prepared
Generally speaking, it is normal for orders to decrease in the off-season. Many textile companies have started the “lay-down” mode, but some textile companies are actively continuing to produce and are working hard to prepare for the second half of the year.
“Recently, many weaving manufacturers have been stocking up on British bias, which has led to intense queues of composite yarns in chemical fiber factories,” said a textile boss.
British slant is the “old friend” among the best-selling fabrics. It has been popular in the textile market a few years ago and belongs to the four-way elastic category. Its drapey and crisp texture can easily stand firm in the fashion world, and its exquisite and delicate twill texture adds to the fashionable temperament. In recent years, this fabric has received a lot of praise from the public. The main ingredients are: composite silk + spandex. The workmanship is relatively complicated, so the volume is not very large.
Of course, in addition to British clothing, the stocking situation of other fabrics is also relatively good. In addition, many companies are currently receiving orders relatively well.
“The current market sales of 228 matt nylon Taslan are particularly good. I previously placed an order of 400,000 meters with the manufacturer and said it would take more than a month to queue up.” said a trader.
The continuous small orders and the occasional large orders are the basis for textile workers to stock up now. The current situation is different from the previous two years. Orders may decrease in the off-season, but they will not disappear. The appropriate amount of stocking is also to better meet the challenges.
Hold on! It’s the final victory
Judging from inventory and startup, local weaving companies are currently basically in a stable state. According to the sample enterprise data monitored by Silkdu.com, the current operating rate is 69.3%, down 0.5% from last week, and the inventory days are 36.2 days, which is slightly higher than last week.
When orders are not very abundant, it is the wisest choice for weaving companies to reduce their operating rates. At the same time, the current inventory days are also at a lower level compared with previous off-seasons. This is a good indication that companies are weighing the pros and cons. Choose to reduce startups to stabilize inventory.
It can also be seen from the purchase of polyester yarn that the current demand still exists. Although polyester yarn production and sales did not exceed 100 this week, they basically maintained a relatively stable trend, and downstream weaving manufacturers replenished goods as needed. It can be seen from the side that the overall market has not been affected by the off-season and has “slumped”.
Entering the off-season, what major textile companies are most worried about is the decrease in orders and the increase in inventory. In fact, as long as we stabilize the pace of production, seize market hot spots, work hard to optimize products, and find high-quality customers, we will naturally get through it safely.
