Since February, if you want to say which sector of the textile industry is the most popular, it has to be the dyeing factory.
But on the last day of February, the salesperson of the dyeing factory revealed to the editor that the dyeing factory in these two days was no longer the same as that at the beginning of the new year.
So what is the current situation of the dyeing factory? Let’s find out.
Gradually shrinking, the entry range exceeds 500,000 meters
Since the beginning of the new year, the performance of the printing and dyeing industry can be said to be leading the way, with news of “liquidations” and “price increases” emerging one after another. Some people even lamented that the production capacity of dyeing plants has returned to pre-epidemic levels. In such an atmosphere, one can’t help but feel that spring in the dyeing factory has arrived.
According to monitoring data from Silkdu.com, since the start of construction, the operating rate of printing and dyeing companies in the sample has rebounded rapidly. Due to the large amount of gray fabrics entering the warehouse in the early stage, the dye vats basically maintained high-load operation and worked overtime to consume the inventory of gray fabrics. As of February 26, the printing and dyeing operation rate has rebounded to 71.1%. In terms of delivery time, dyeing factories are currently still in a relatively busy stage, and the phenomenon of “liquidation” continues to exist, resulting in delivery delays that have not been alleviated. They generally last more than 7 days, and some busier manufacturers require more than 10 days.
In response to these situations, the editor asked relevant personnel in the dyeing factory. From the data given, it can be found that the daily average of gray fabrics entering the warehouse in the first week of February exceeded 1 million meters, of which the number of warehouses in a single day once exceeded 1.1 million meters. As unfinished orders from the year before have been completed one after another, the number of gray fabrics entering warehouses has shown a downward trend since mid-February. The average daily quantity entering warehouses has been less than 700,000 meters, and there have even been cases where only more than 500,000 meters of gray fabrics have been entered into warehouses in a single day. Case. In the same month, the range of entry data is close to 600,000 meters. This gap is really shocking.
It can be seen from the description that although the quantity of gray cloth warehouses has maintained a range-bound fluctuation, the downward trend has gradually emerged. The grand occasion when the work just started has become a thing of the past. Whether the “explosion” can continue will depend on the performance of subsequent orders.
The follow-up is weak, and orders have been stagnant.
“Gold, three, silver and four” projects are on the horizon, but the dyeing factory is showing signs of “successful failure”. What is the reason behind this?
According to market practice, orders from dyeing factories mainly consist of foreign trade orders and market orders. From market research, it can be found that due to the impact of the epidemic two years ago, many fabric companies have a backlog of orders. This batch of unfinished orders from a year ago poured in at the moment the dyeing factory resumed work, causing a large-scale “liquidation” phenomenon in the dyeing factory.
But most people believe that the current market situation in dyeing factories is fake, and some even say that the real market situation in dyeing factories will not be real until after the Qingming Festival. It can be seen from the order-receiving performance of enterprises that in the fabric market, whether it is foreign trade orders or domestic sales orders, the overall order-receiving performance is not as good as expected. The polarization among enterprises is becoming increasingly obvious, and some enterprises are experiencing a shortage of orders and are faced with the dilemma of “old orders are completed, but new orders are not yet available”. When the continuity of orders cannot be guaranteed, how long can dyeing factories that are “resting on their laurels” last?
A fabric merchant said that since February, due to the consumption recovery being less than expected, the fabric market has a strong wait-and-see sentiment and no significant growth in order volume. Judging from the order receiving situation, there has been a lot of enthusiasm for inquiries and price inquiries recently, but orders have been delayed. The overall situation is “more prototypes and less actual orders”. At present, the spot shipments of finished products are average, and the main focus is still on digesting inventory.
This textile boss may only represent some people, but it is not difficult to see from various news that although the impact of the epidemic is gradually fading, the foreign trade situation is still severe, and weakening external demand is becoming the market consensus. “Cold winter” is approaching, and the reduction in foreign trade orders of small and medium-sized enterprises may be just the tip of the iceberg.
Postscript
The rebounding market is the basis for the printing and dyeing industry. Let us wait and see how much heat the traditional peak season can bring to the textile market…
