If the textile industry is an industry that “depends on the weather to make a living”, then Nisi Fang is a fabric that “depends on the weather to make a living”. As the “main force” of autumn and winter fabrics, nylon is an indispensable matching fabric for down jackets and other cold-proof clothing. According to the tradition of previous years, the period from October to November is the golden period for the sales of nylon silk fabrics. So what is the trend of nylon silk fabrics in the current market?
With both volume and price falling, will “hot cakes” also have a clearance sale?
I vaguely remember that in the past two years, Nisi Fang has experienced a wave of hot sales. At that time, the nylon silk fabrics single-handedly overshadowed the “King of Autumn and Winter Fabrics” T400, which not only caused the fabric dealers to clear their inventory, but also caused the dyeing factories to burst into flames. It can be said to be “unparalleled”!
Along with the hot sales, the price of nylon spinning has soared. Just when many fabrics are still struggling to make a profit and loss, the price of nylon spinning once increased by more than 26% (taking 380T nylon spinning as an example, in October 2021 The price in mid-term is 5.3 yuan/meter). With such a high price, profits are naturally not a problem.
But this year, due to overcapacity and other reasons, fabric merchants have a lot of stockpiles. The huge market inventory coupled with the continued weak demand has resulted in the shipment volume of nylon spinning being far less than expected. It can be said that as crazy as it was last year, it will be so lonely this year. Many traders who stocked up on goods due to the hot market last year have fallen into the dilemma of “unable to sell at high prices and have to compete at low prices” this year.
A fabric company revealed that recently, the market is still dominated by conventional autumn and winter fabrics, and sales are relatively stable, but the prices are much cheaper. The nylon silk fabric alone is about 1.5 yuan/meter cheaper than last year. The market price of 380T nylon silk fabric is about 2.7 yuan/meter. Some clearance sales prices will drop to 2.2 yuan/meter. The entire price range is relatively large. big. Compared with previous years, the current order volume is only about 70%, and the gap is still quite large.
What was once a “hot cake” has fallen to this point, and I can’t help but feel a lot of emotions. With the backlog of nylon spinning stocks, in order to sell goods, we can only continue to involute the price. Abnormal markets lead to abnormal prices. These are all hidden dangers buried by crazy speculation.
To throw or not to throw? This is all a problem…
The hot sales last year caused some fabric merchants to hoard nylon fabrics frantically. But after the madness, the market was in a state of confusion, and more and more people flooded into the market, resulting in the inventory of nylon silk spinning remaining high this year.
Prices follow the market. Only when the market improves will there be room for price improvement. Now that the market is sluggish, controlling inventory may be more important than increasing profits. So, there was news that a few days ago, a certain fabric dealer was ruthlessly selling 3 million millimeters of silk at a low price.
Nylon is a common variety in the fabric market, and the differences between fabric manufacturers are basically minimal. Coupled with weather factors, the dynamic sales market also came to a standstill after the cold air came to an end during the National Day. Although the market is still stable, the price of fabrics is very questionable. Since most people are no longer optimistic about the later trend, the massive selling at the expense of profits is also to achieve maximum realization in a sense. Nowadays, only by being able to control as much cash flow as possible in one’s own hands can one better respond to market changes.
According to monitoring data from Silkdu.com, since the beginning of this year, the inventory of gray fabrics in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been relatively stable, with few fluctuations in inventory. Compared with previous years, this fluctuation range is basically negligible. In the face of a calm market, throwing it away may be a feasible way.
Therefore, whether to sell or not to sell is a matter of trade-off for fabric merchants. Profits and cash flow can no longer be achieved before the market improves significantly. It is more important to reasonably control inventory and not to blindly hoard goods.
Postscript:
Some people say that the key factors for the lack of hot-selling products in the current market are serious homogeneity and lack of technical content. As soon as a certain fabric becomes popular, it will flock to the market, resulting in both volume and price falling, and “hot cakes” become “hot items” in an instant. Yam”. Today’s textile market has gradually broken away from traditional transaction logic, and past peak season expectations have become no longer reliable. In order to adapt to new changes, innovation and differentiation may be the only way.
