Cold weather! The down jacket is worn! The market for textile people is good again! Recently, we can see in the circle of friends that textile bosses have received orders. However, for now, these orders are still mainly small orders. They all ship a small car first. We still need to wait and see about the subsequent orders. However, this It is also a good signal for the textile market, which has been deserted for almost a whole year.
Many textile people have said that this year is the most difficult year since they started working in the industry. The textile market may have experienced troughs in the past, but the cycle of three good years and three bad years is still traceable. The market has been changing continuously since this year. The global economic structure is accelerating the transformation. Textiles and clothing are basically not the major consumer sectors such as food, drink, housing and transportation. To say that outdoor fabrics, which are somewhat related to the outdoor economy, may have brought some orders to the textile industry, but they still cannot stop the orders. Overall downward trend.
According to the results of the survey, it can be known that the current order volume in the market has dropped by 20%-30%, which is normal. What’s more, it is less than two months before the Spring Festival. According to the time when textile workers are on holiday, there is still one month. Time, the textile people will begin their long-awaited rest. Therefore, it is indeed a gratifying thing that orders can begin to be placed in the market due to the cold winter.
However, when the order is placed, the editor also wants to give a warning to the bosses!
Don’t let repayment become a stumbling block to your vacation
At the end of the year, textile people have to worry about repayment again. The problem of payment arrears is still a difficult problem in the textile industry. This can also be regarded as a “reserved program” in the textile market every year. The textile people who have been busy for a year are actually because of the first The bad habit of paying for goods after goods are shipped out all year round, and not much money is actually received. Only when the annual payment for goods is received can you really feel safe.
However, for some textile workers, the repayment has to be settled annually, but their own costs cannot be postponed. An old master who has been in the post-finishing industry for more than 10 years said: “We can’t afford to pay for raw materials, water and electricity bills, and workers’ wages, but customers It is a custom to end the year there, and the financial pressure is too great now.” But what is more sad than the finishing is the upstream weaving companies. Not only do they have these financial pressures, but also a large amount of gray cloth inventory has become theirs this year. A big worry.
Without pricing power, costs continue to rise
While the financial pressure is high, the boss also revealed that in the current post-finishing market, the pricing power is already in the hands of customers, but why doesn’t the same situation happen on the trade side? A textile boss said: “The market situation is almost transparent now. Everyone knows the price. Customers are pushing the price. If I don’t do it, they will find someone with a lower price to do it.” As for the post-finishing aspect, due to the post-finishing The overall threshold of the industry is similar for everyone, so this situation is even more severe.
In response to this situation, many people now believe that if they do not speed up the pace of transformation and upgrading, they will be eliminated by the market. If they want to regain the pricing power in their own hands, they must make products that others cannot do. Grasp the pricing power of the product, but this is easy to say, but it is still difficult to do in the textile industry. Regarding the analysis of fabrics, there are so many powerful people in the industry. A new fabric can be given to you not long after it comes out. The analysis is thorough, so the road to find a breakthrough point in the textile industry is still quite bumpy.
Now that the Spring Festival holiday is just around the corner, textile workers should not forget to do the finishing work while happily accepting orders.
