Preface
The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. March is coming to an end and the wonderful month of April is coming. The textile market will also end the “Golden Three” market, and the “Silver Four” will slowly arrive in the expectation of textile people. Through visits and research, the reporter found that the textile market was active in March and this trend may continue in April.
01
The market was strong in March
Since February this year, the market has been recovering significantly. March is the traditional peak season. Textile companies are receiving orders well and hot-selling products are prominent. Driven by the strong shipment volume of gray fabrics, weaving companies are also very motivated to produce.
According to the person in charge of a local simulated silk weaving company in Shengze: “The number of new orders in March increased by about 20% compared with February, and the overall orders can be maintained until mid-May, so the current startup rate has been maintained at 100%. level.”
The owner of another company that specializes in laminated fabrics also revealed: “The current factory operating rate is 100%, new orders continue to be placed, and it can be maintained until June.”
Currently, the operating rate of water-jet and air-jet weaving enterprises in Shengze is 76.5%, an increase of 0.4% from last week. Although the increase is small or even negligible, it still remains at the high level during the year.

Environmentally friendly and functional fabrics will become the future trend
At the just-concluded China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories (Spring and Summer) Expo, Shengze Textile Enterprises actively participated, and both participated in and visited the exhibition, which brought them a lot of gains. While receiving interested customers, we also captured current fashion trends and future trends.
The person in charge of a weaving company that produces various types of woven fabrics told reporters: “Today, environmentally friendly fabrics have become the norm, and functional fabrics with more powerful and rich functions will become more popular in the future.”
A cloth boss who specializes in Oxford cloth said: “In the future, fabrics with strong functions such as sun protection, antibacterial, breathability and moisture permeability will become more popular, and the varieties will be novel and unique, especially fabrics suitable for outdoor sports.”
Through the investigation of downstream weaving enterprises, the reporter found that the current domestic sales orders in the textile market are still supported, and the demand for inquiry and lofting of differentiated fabric products has increased significantly. Shengze Textile Enterprises continues to keep up with market trends, conduct targeted development, and align the company’s positioning with the trends. At the same time, it will base on the advantages of industrial clusters, focus on the fashion and creative track, and continuously release the fashion textile industry.

April market forecast
April is still the traditional peak season, which is a good opportunity for textile companies to receive orders. Domestic sales demand continues to be released. Currently, spring and summer orders are still the main ones. In April, there may be a shift to thicker autumn and winter fabrics. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, after entering February, the overall trend of my country’s import and export has been improving, especially in late February, when there was a significant increase. Monitoring of relevant leading indicators shows that this good momentum is expected to continue.
