At present, there are still many textile bosses in the market saying that the market is in a mess, and many weaving factories have closed their doors due to lack of orders. However, through this visit, the editor found that the current market is not so useless. Several Textile bosses all said: “Business is good and all the machines in the factory are running!”
“Our order situation is good. It has been scheduled until November, and the factory machines are also in full operation.” Mr. Shen, who specializes in nylon fabrics, said.
“Orders are now much better than in late August. The production has been 100% operational since the beginning of the month, and orders have been scheduled until the end of October.” said Mr. Jiang, who mainly sells velvet.
“Our orders are scheduled until the end of the year, and it’s too late to fully operate the looms,” said Mr. Gao, who specializes in custom weaving.
Since the end of August, some companies have reported that the looms are basically fully operational, but not all weaving manufacturers. According to the operating rate of sample companies monitored by Silkdu.com, the current operating rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is around 69.3%. Obviously, this data is not It is not very high. Compared with the 100% operation rate of the above-mentioned textile bosses, it is still very different. It can also be reflected that companies with fully-operated looms account for a small proportion in the textile circle, and the problem of polarization is very serious.
Market goods are not popular
“Actually, the main reasons for good orders are low prices and volume reduction to reduce inventory. If the market is not good in the later period, we will definitely have to reduce production.” said Mr. Jiang, who mainly deals in velvet.
“It may be easier to sell four-sided mountaineering denim in the current market. There are very few orders for regular products, and customers are also severely price-pressuring. Customers’ orders are basically custom-woven orders.” said Mr. Gao, who is mainly engaged in custom-made weaving.
“Our company mainly focuses on research and development of fabrics. They are basically order products, and there are very few conventional varieties on the market.” Mr. Shen, who specializes in nylon fabrics, said.
Since the beginning of this year, some conventional products that have been selling well in previous years have not sold well. Many of them are even sold at a loss below the cost price. The real hot sellers are some new niche fabric products, and the market audience for these fabrics is not large. , resulting in the order situation of many conventional manufacturers this year being very unsatisfactory, and conventional fabrics cannot make money at all.
Inventory is down, stock up? Don’t dare at all
“The inventory in our warehouse is as high as more than 10 million meters. Although the looms are now fully operational, we dare not produce more. In this era, it is very difficult to have more inventory.” said Mr. Jiang, who mainly deals in tower velvet.
“We have no inventory. We will only produce when customers place orders. Where can the boss produce inventory now? As long as we have inventory, we will basically lose money in the end.” said Mr. Gao, who is mainly engaged in custom weaving.
“We basically have no inventory. We only start production on the machine after customers place orders.” said Mr. Shen, who specializes in nylon fabrics.
The inventory problem is still difficult to solve. The gap between supply and demand is too big. Many manufacturers have tens of millions of meters of inventory. Most of these inventories are conventional fabrics, which are not popular in the textile circle. Assuming that anyone has 10 million meters of conventional pongee stock in their home, they will have to wait for customers to lower their prices. According to the inventory days of sample companies monitored by Silkdu.com, it can be seen that the current weaving stock in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is about 35 days. As The number of inventory days for gold, nine and silver ten has been at a relatively low level in recent years. Many manufacturers are basically on holiday in August. In the early stage, they mainly consumed inventory at low prices, and later they did not dare to produce inventory at all, so this caused The phenomenon of low inventory, the real improvement of the market depends on whether the printing and dyeing factories are busy.
No need to queue at Jinjiu Dyeing Factory?
“Now the dyeing factory has received a little more warehouses than last month, but it is not yet at full capacity, so there is no need to queue and the delivery date has not changed.” said Mr. Gao, who is mainly engaged in custom weaving.
“There has been no increase in the number of warehouses coming into the dyeing factory. There is no need to queue up now and the goods will be delivered soon.” said Mr. Jiang, who is mainly engaged in Ta Velvet.
According to the feedback from textile bosses, the dyeing factory is not busy at present, and even the operation status is average. The current operation rate has increased compared with the previous period, at about 59.7%, but it is still at a low level. Logically speaking, Jinjiu Dyeing Factory should be very busy, but in fact This is not the case. It can be seen that the orders placed in the textile market are not entirely due to the improvement of the market. Half of them are mainly stockpiling. Therefore, the current market peak season has not fully arrived.
Although I visited several textile bosses whose looms are currently fully operational, they do not believe that the trend will improve in the future. In fact, the market has not completely improved. The current operating rate of many weaving manufacturers may still be only 50%. The consequences of the epidemic are not only a decrease in orders, but also a vicious cycle.What’s more is that profits have plummeted, and the money in pockets is getting less and less. In the later period, they have to bear high rent, water and electricity, workers’ wages and other expenses. Some textile bosses even said that the market may decline in the next three years. It is difficult to get better. It has been three years since the epidemic. Add another three years. How many textile bosses can survive to the end?
Jin Jiu? It just seems to be coming…
