Time flies by so fast, it’s already the end of February in the blink of an eye, and Jin San is about to arrive. After experiencing the sluggish peak season of March in the previous two years, does this year’s Jin San have more expectations?
However, textile bosses already have the answer in mind.
“The situation in Jinsan should be similar to now. The demand is here and it won’t be good.” said Mr. Lu, who mainly sells Oxford cloth.
“The market may be average in March, but it will be better in the autumn. The market is not very good yet. It is in a tepid state. It is still difficult to fully recover in a short period of time.” Mr. Lin, who mainly sells T400, said.
“March will be about the same as now. It may be a little better, but it shouldn’t be particularly good. The demand is not very strong now.” Mr. Gu, who is mainly engaged in channel distribution, said.
Of course, in addition to the above three textile bosses who do not have high hopes for Jin San, the other two textile bosses are also very optimistic.
“I’m still more optimistic about March. At present, the orders are too late for production. There should be more orders in March.” said Mr. Sun, who specializes in imitation silk.
“March should be a good month, especially for knitting orders, which we have a relatively large volume of,” said Mr. Hu, who mainly sells TR fabrics.
After interviewing the above textile bosses, it is obvious that most textile people are still not optimistic about the market situation in March. Of course, this is also related to the main products and company attributes.
But what is the actual textile market like?
Large orders are all heard about, but there are quite a few small orders.
“The order-receiving situation is okay, except that we have not received any large orders for the time being. Now they are basically small orders of several thousand meters or tens of thousands of meters. The quantity is not large, but we can basically maintain stable orders.” said Mr. Sun, who is mainly engaged in imitation silk.
“The orders on hand are all small orders, and large orders of millions of meters are not available to small trading companies like ours.” said Mr. Lu, who mainly deals in Oxford cloth.
“Currently, the orders on hand are mainly small orders, which are basically around 2,000-3,000 meters. The orders are highly sustainable and can last until around mid-March.” Mr. Lin, who mainly sells T400, said.
“Currently, we have good orders on hand, most of which are hundreds of thousands of meters. Orders can last until about April. There are various kinds of woven fabrics,” said Mr. Hu, who specializes in TR fabrics.
“Currently, there are not many orders on hand, and they are all placed continuously. At present, most of the channel fabrics are coming for proofing, and there are very few actual orders.” said Mr. Gu, who is mainly engaged in channel fabrics.
In fact, most textile companies are still able to receive orders at present, but they are basically small orders of several thousand meters or tens of thousands of meters. The larger ones may only be hundreds of thousands of meters. The number of large orders of millions of meters is There are only a few. Of course, the size of the company is also very important. Before choosing to place an order, customers will consider whether a company can handle an order of one million meters. Small-scale companies must also bear the burden when receiving large orders. The risk, the rise and fall of raw materials is the main reason for profits and losses, and in terms of shipments, larger scales are definitely much faster, so the choice between buyers and sellers is also an important factor in whether they can receive large orders.
The problem of taking orders is very realistic, and the prices are equally cruel.
Once there is too much inventory, it will be difficult to increase prices.
“The price of fabrics cannot go up, and customers cannot accept it,” said Mr. Gu, who mainly sells channel fabrics.
“The price of fabrics remains stable now. Unless there is a sharp increase in raw materials, fabrics will follow suit.” said Mr. Sun, who specializes in imitation silk.
“Recently, the price of raw materials has increased slightly at most, and it is difficult to increase significantly. Therefore, it is difficult for fabric prices to change.” said Mr. Hu, who mainly sells TR fabrics.
Obviously, the above-mentioned textile bosses said that it is difficult for fabric prices to increase in the near future. According to the sample company data monitored by Silkdu.com, it can be seen that the local weaving inventory is about 34.2 days, which is only 1.4 days different from the previous year. This shows that After the new year, while digesting inventory, we are also producing inventory. At the beginning of the new year, it was very busy. Most of them were processing orders that had not been processed before. It will be difficult to increase prices when there is too much inventory. Golden Three is coming soon. Many textiles The boss has also begun to stock up. The previous inventory has not been fully digested and he is producing the current inventory. If supply exceeds demand and the inventory is sold at a low price, it will naturally be difficult for fabric prices to rise.
However, based on the lessons learned in previous years, textile bosses are also more cautious when it comes to production and inventory. According to the same period in previous years, without special reasons, many manufacturers’ looms have been turned on at 100%, and the market average can be as high as 80%. But it’s almost one year since construction started this yearmonths, but the local operating rate is only about 70%, and many manufacturers are even operating less than half of the time. Therefore, we can see the harm of textile bosses and even inventory this year, and they would rather open less than produce more.
In the face of today’s market, it will take some time for demand to recover. Similarly, the editor agrees with the thoughts of some textile bosses. Jinsan will not get better all of a sudden. The problem of two-level differentiation is still serious. The market may have to wait until the second half of the year. Only then will we truly return to before the epidemic.
