Do you still remember the 5 million meter 400T pongee order in early July last year? The price was high and the quality was excellent. Few manufacturers dared to take this order for fear of being criticized by the manufacturer for lowering the price if it was not done well. But if it was done well, it would be great. Can make a lot of money.
Although few weaving factories are confident that this order can be completed well, the volume of 5 million meters is enough to show that 400T pongee is deeply loved by major clothing manufacturers. However, this fabric has “fallen out of favor” this year.
4.5 the year before last, 3.8 last year, and 2.6 this year
Last year, the price for an order of 5 million meters was 4.3-4.5 yuan/meter, while the market price last year was 3.8 yuan/meter. Later, due to the increase in raw material prices and the improvement of the market, the fabric price rose to 4 yuan/meter, and the market price The profit of the machine is 50 yuan/day, while the profit of the machine at the price given by the well-known manufacturer can be 100 yuan/day. The double profit makes many manufacturers ready to move, but in the end they can only look at the moon in the water.
This year is different. Last year’s high prices do not exist this year. At the market price of 2.6 yuan/meter, few orders are placed. In previous years, 30D/72FDTY had to open the back door and queue up. This year, such a phenomenon is even more difficult to see. The orders received by manufacturers are all sent to peripheral weaving factories for production at cheaper prices. The profit of gray fabrics produced locally is basically 0. In previous years, the big manufacturers “only favored” this one. This year, it is really painful and speechless.
Low profits are a common phenomenon this year. No matter what kind of fabric, it is difficult to escape this fate. It is difficult for weaving manufacturers to change this fact, and they can only accept it silently. If they really lose a lot, they will not accept it.
But things have to look on the bright side. It’s half way through August, and it’s now the time to try out autumn and winter fabrics. Gold three and silver four haven’t appeared in two or three years. Gold nine and silver ten have been late, but never absent.
Small orders for autumn and winter are being issued one after another, and fabric prices may rise.
In fact, sporadic small orders have been placed on the market for a long time, and some textile bosses believe that orders may improve in the second half of the year. A few days ago, some autumn and winter fabrics such as cool silk cotton, diamond silk pongee, etc. were mentioned. High hopes, and these fabrics currently have good profits. Assuming that a large number of orders can be placed in the second half of the year, then the fabrics will definitely follow the rise.
However, it is not ruled out that some fabrics, such as nylon fabrics, are the first choice for down jacket fabrics. Due to the outrageous hype last year, a large amount of inventory was accumulated. In the first half of the year, the price was as low as freezing point. Even if the textile boss took the goods from outside, he would not produce them himself. In this case, this Even if the price of similar fabrics increases, there is not much room for it, and at most it will not lose money.
Judging from the current market, there is not much movement in previous years’ Internet celebrity products T400, T8 and four-way stretch products that have been on the best-selling list all year round. On the contrary, some products that were not popular in previous years, such as imitation wool fabrics, have become popular in the market. Perhaps This year’s trend will change, and the focus will not be on these down jacket fabrics.
The market conditions in the first half of this year were not satisfactory. This does not mean that the orders were not good. For textile bosses, the inability to make money means that the market conditions were not good. In fact, the current market is very unfair and highly polarized. Large manufacturers are in equipment If you are better than small factories in terms of products, products and customer sources, you will naturally receive more orders. If this vicious circle continues, many small factories will not be able to survive. Many manufacturers must have gone bankrupt, but society is just like the fittest. Survive.
Generally speaking, we still have to have hope for the second half of the year. The arrival of the traditional peak season will still bring a wave of orders. If the market improves, money will naturally come.
