Entering June, raw materials are rising, orders are plummeting, and the off-season scene is very intense. However, orders for a certain type of fabric have quietly increased, and the profit situation is much better than that of ordinary fabrics…
“Recently, our factory has received a lot of orders for recycled fabrics. Just yesterday, we received another order for filament yarn. The order quantity is 50,000 meters. The quantity is not large, but the profit is much higher than that of conventional fabrics.” said the weaver.
Although environmentally friendly recycled fabrics have long been integrated into the domestic textile market, the EU government has ordered a ban on textile waste and required member states to carry out specialized textile recycling from 2025 to increase the reuse rate of textile fabrics. Therefore, the current main markets for environmentally friendly recycled fabrics are in European and American countries. However, due to the poor situation of European and American countries due to the impact of the epidemic, brand clothing companies from Europe and the United States are also having a hard time. There are endless news about closing stores and cutting expenses. Under such circumstances, the orders for recycled fabrics that European and American clothing brands can place are naturally very limited.
Recycled fabrics briefly became popular in May last year. Small orders of several kilometers were placed one after another. Some manufacturers specially applied for GRS certification to prepare for the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” in the second half of the year, but they spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Before the certificate was issued, the heat passed. As the saying goes, it came quietly and left quietly.
Recycled fabrics, I think they’d work!
The reason for the poor performance of recycled fabrics is that the impact of the epidemic has led to poor foreign trade, and most of the consumers of recycled fabrics are the European and American markets. Many well-known clothing brands are also slowly moving towards recycled fabrics. Recycled fabrics do have prospects, although now domestic The market is not very popular, but with the deepening of environmental protection concepts, one day recycled fabrics will replace other fabrics.
The profit of recycled fabrics is better than that of other fabrics. “The profit of recycled fabrics is generally 0.5-0.6 yuan/meter higher than that of other conventional fabrics, although the raw material cost of recycled fabrics is only 0.4-0.5 yuan/meter more expensive than ordinary fabrics. meter, but the fabric price is at least 1 yuan/meter more expensive, so if there are orders for recycled fabrics, it will definitely be more profitable than others.” said the textile boss.
Compared with other fabrics with extremely low profits this year, textile bosses can indeed make money if they can receive orders for recycled fabrics. Now many local weaving manufacturers are developing into environmentally friendly recycling. Assuming that the foreign epidemic is controlled in the second half of the year, recycling Fabrics may become star products in the second half of the year.
Will recycled fabrics “dominate” the market in the second half of the year?
In the first half of the year, due to the epidemic in Shanghai, recycled fabrics seemed to have disappeared from the market. Recycled fabrics were rarely mentioned. However, the peak season was not prosperous in the first half of this year, and even the popularity of ordinary fabrics was very “depressed”. Not to mention the variety of this type of audience and foreign markets.
Of course, it is too early to say that the second half of the year will be better. For the domestic market, the price of recycled fabrics is still relatively expensive, so the development space of recycled fabrics in the country is very limited. However, although the epidemic has not completely disappeared, people’s demand for clothing is still there. Many big-name foreign clothing manufacturers are There is a need for recycled fabrics, and the market for recycled fabrics is still there. Of course, it is impossible to have a huge demand this year. It can only be said that recycled fabrics will gradually replace other fabrics in the future. As for when, it is definitely not now.
It is probably doubtful that we will be able to “dominate” in the second half of the year, but we will definitely have a position.
