Recently, many European countries are about to enter winter. However, since Europe banned Russian coal, EU countries have fallen into a state of coal shortage, and the natural gas gap has also been increasing. How to spend this winter has become a lingering question for many Europeans. worries.
European energy shortage presents opportunity
The shortage of energy not only has a great impact on residents’ lives, but also has a great impact on industry. Chemical plants are inseparable from energy consumption, which has caused the energy costs of European industry to rise significantly, and many products have to be imported. Foreign products, including higher-end textile fabrics.
When the editor visited the company, I learned about a company that sells spot goods. Since the domestic sales environment is not as good as before, and the spot industry has been too involved, it is now gradually expanding into foreign trade. The boss said: “The company can basically avoid losing money this year. Relying on these foreign trade orders, these foreign trade orders are all from Europe, otherwise the company will not make any profit this year.” However, in the subsequent conversation, we also learned that if you want to enter the European market, the boss has to worry about the “GRS” certificate. .
Recycled fabrics have broad prospects
Nowadays, fabrics that want to be exported to European countries basically require a “GRS” certificate. This is because the consumption of clothing in the EU is increasing year by year, but the service life of a single piece of clothing is greatly reduced, thus causing a lot of textile waste and pollution. Taking France as an example, 9.5 kilograms of clothes are added per capita every year, but the recycling rate by 2017 was only about 36%. The recycling rate of textile fabrics in the entire European Union is even lower, only about 20%. To this end, the EU government has ordered a ban on textile waste and requires member states to carry out specialized textile recycling from 2025 to increase the reuse rate of textile fabrics.
Therefore, at this stage, recycled textiles are mainly exported to the European and American markets. Although the European and American markets have been greatly affected by the epidemic, which has dealt a blow to the export of recycled fabrics, with the gradual recovery of the economy, during the visit to the market, the cloth Bosses are generally optimistic about the prospects of recycled fabrics. On the other hand, as my country attaches greater importance to environmental protection, it is also a very competitive consumer market in the country.
Domestic market slowly recovers
However, the current situation of the domestic sales market is also slowly recovering, which can be clearly felt through the decline in market inventory. According to data monitoring from Silkdu.com, the current inventory of gray fabrics in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is about 35 days. Although the overall inventory is still high, It can be seen from the figure that the current inventory of gray fabrics has gradually dropped to a point where it will intersect with previous years.
But why can’t companies feel what the market is doing? In fact, the main reason is that although the orders on the market have increased compared with the first half of the year, the cake is still not big enough to fall on everyone’s head. This has also caused the profits of gray cloth and fabrics to be suppressed by traders and clothing companies. Therefore, the market can only be said to be slowly recovering, and it is unlikely that the market will be like a rocket this year.
But in the final analysis, whether it is foreign trade or domestic trade, the most important thing now is product quality. Needless to say about foreign trade, now that the Southeast Asian market has eaten up part of the share of low-end products, many European and American countries will import there, so domestically now Most of the products exported are high-end. In terms of domestic trade, the prices of low-end products cannot go up and profits are compressed. As the prices of high-end products go up, the profits will naturally be relatively considerable.
Therefore, judging from the general market situation, it is expected that the market in the second half of this year will still maintain an optimistic attitude. But after extending the time, we still need to be cautious about the long-term market.
