“The order situation is good, and production and sales are balanced every day.” This is probably the sentence that the editor heard most during the research and visit this week. At the same time, there is another sentence, “Our business is very good, but the market conditions are not very good.”
It sounds contradictory, but according to what the textile boss said, it really makes sense.
Versailles Speech: Not many orders, but strong sustainability
“Orders in March are a little less than in February, and the overall orders can reach May.” said Mr. Li, who specializes in down jacket fabrics.
“There have been fewer new orders since March than in February, and orders can currently be maintained until the end of March. The main products are acetic acid, and acetic acid cotton fabrics are very popular.” said Mr. Luo, who specializes in acetic acid fabrics.
“There are not many orders in March, down 30% from February, and they can be maintained until the beginning of May.” Manager Qian, who specializes in woven fabrics, said.
“Orders in March increased by about 10% compared with February, and the orders are long-term.” said Mr. Bao, who specializes in elastic fabrics.
“The overall order situation is good. Orders have been received by the end of May, and we are still receiving orders now.” said Mr. Xu, who specializes in imitation memory.
It can be seen from the above descriptions of the textile bosses that the order situation is actually good. Only a few textile bosses have slightly worse order situations, but even if they are not many, there are hot-selling varieties. Overall, they are not bad. Maybe the textile bosses feel that the market situation is The main difference lies in profits.
Fabric prices rising? Totally impossible
Fabric prices have always been a problem that continues to trouble textile people. Although demand is picking up a little bit with the liberalization of policies, fabric prices have always been rising satisfactorily. Even if they are hot sellers, it is difficult to increase prices. But one good thing is that the behavior of losing money does not exist now.
“At present, the price of gray fabrics is mainly stable. We are not selling at a loss. The number of orders is shrinking, and it is estimated that the price of gray fabrics will be difficult to rise in the future.” said Mr. Li, who specializes in down jacket fabrics.
“The price of gray fabrics is mainly stable. There is no upward trend in gray fabrics and fabrics.” Mr. Luo, who specializes in acetic acid fabrics, said.
“The price of gray fabric has increased a lot recently, 2-3 gross/meter. The price of fabric has basically not increased, especially the products that old customers have been making for a long time. If it does not increase, the quotations of new customers must follow the price of gray fabric.” Main business Manager Qian of woven fabrics said.
“The price of gray fabrics is mainly stable. We do not sell at a loss, the orders are relatively sufficient, and the customers are relatively stable. The price of gray fabrics will basically not rise in the future.” said Mr. Bao, who specializes in stretch fabrics.
“The fabrics haven’t changed much. Some fabrics have gone up a little bit, but basically they haven’t gone up much. We don’t lose money. If the quality is good, it’s basically at the negotiated price. If we lose money, we won’t accept it. It should be difficult to increase it in the future. If the raw materials If it rises, it will rise appropriately.” said Mr. Xu, who specializes in imitation memory.
Similarly, rising costs will hardly drive a rebound in fabric prices. Textile bosses basically buy raw materials on demand. Neither price increases nor promotions can drive the sales of polyester filaments.
Polyester prices rebound? It’s better if you don’t buy it
Although crude oil is slightly weak this week, the prices of PX and PTA, the immediate superiors of polyester filament, are relatively strong, providing sufficient support to polyester filament. Although it is said to be support, in fact, it is more compressing the profit margin of polyester filament. , some specifications of polyester filament yarns turned from profit to loss.
For textile bosses, it has always been the market norm to buy up and not down, but the increase in polyester prices this time did not drive their sales.
“The prices of raw materials are most likely to be stable, and downstream prices will not be able to accept the continued rise. They are not very good at stocking up and have limited funds.” said Mr. Li, who specializes in down jacket fabrics.
“The price of raw materials is most likely to be stable. If the downstream demand is not good, the upstream will not be good either.” Manager Qian, who is mainly engaged in woven fabrics, said.
“The price of raw materials is likely to be stable, and downstream prices may not necessarily buy into the continued rise. If there is no preparation for stocking up, raw materials should be purchased according to production needs.” said Mr. Bao, who specializes in elastic fabrics.
“It won’t rise too much in the future, and I won’t stock up on too much. I’ll buy as needed. Now the market is uncertain, and it might drop tomorrow.” said Mr. Xu, who specializes in imitation memory.
Stocking up on goods when the market is unstable is cutting yourself off. Textile bosses have learned lessons from previous years and have become more cautious about stocking up on raw materials. Low-priced inventory produced from high-priced raw materials is undoubtedly a good thing for textile bosses. With huge losses, the tradition of buying up and not down has long been broken.
According to the current market situation, the textile bosses’ saying “our business is good, but the market is not good” is indeed true.It makes sense. In fact, many orders also belong to traders’ stockpiling. Although the policy is open, recovery will take time. If this year is not good, then according to the traditional gold, three, silver and four, it is indeed slightly inferior, but compared with It’s already very good compared to last year.
It will take time for demand to pick up, so please be patient.
