The “Golden Three” passed lightly amidst sighs. Perhaps no one thought that this year’s “Golden Three” would be so miserable before this. Because of the sudden epidemic, the operating rate dropped, and many factories either shut down or shut down. Either the logistics impact hinders sales and production. But in this turbulent market, there is actually a factory that has received orders for two million meters!
Received a big order
Recently, many weaving factories have been living in the shadow of no big orders for a long time. For some factories, due to the serious impact of the epidemic, even guaranteeing the availability is a luxury. But the market always has its ups and downs. When the market in many areas is not booming, some weaving factories are still doing business in full swing, which is staggering. Not long ago, it was mentioned that a jacquard fabric company received an order of 50,000 meters of four-sided stretch bubble jacquard. Although it is a small order, it also shows that although the market is average, it is still functioning.
Coincidentally, a manufacturer that the editor visited that specializes in stretch fabrics also said that it recently received an order for tens of thousands of meters of satin bubble plaid. What is even more shocking is that in today’s somewhat “embattled” market environment, this factory actually received a large order of two million meters! It is understood that this list is mainly a twisted product. The weft and warp yarns are all twisted and used to make clothing. The material is like thicker chiffon.
Nowadays, under the epidemic situation, logistics and transportation have also become a big problem. Some places have managers at checkpoints, and truck drivers often need to prepare information such as 48-hour nucleic acid reports or passes, etc. This also makes daily life difficult. The flow of traffic slowed to a crawl. In the face of this, this manufacturer, which specializes in elastic fabrics, also said: “It is still possible to pick up goods, and there are vehicles coming and going every day. The drivers have prepared the necessary information materials.”
Is “Silver Four” possible?
After the somewhat “absurd” Jin San passed, the spring and summer fabrics seemed to be showing vitality again. When the editor passed by the textile factory, I saw it was being loaded. When I passed by the dyeing factory, I found piles of fabrics piled outside. And no matter what kind of fabric it is, being able to place an order in the market proves that the demand still exists. Then there may still be some small hope for the next “Silver Four”?
In fact, since the outbreak of the epidemic this year, more and more important textile towns have been in trouble, and demand has gradually declined. As downstream companies have been affected by this, the atmosphere for accepting orders has become weaker. Although small orders have been placed in small quantities due to demand, In previous years, hot big orders were rare. In addition, many factories now dare not produce inventory anymore, and they already have a certain amount of inventory. Not every factory has the ability to do a good business without inventory. Under the current market conditions, having inventory is equivalent to having inventory. In addition to the trouble, destocking is more troublesome on the basis of unstable raw material prices. It is easier to lose money if the inventory is kept, which provides more reasons for the dull peak season.
But in fact, for now, although it has entered the middle of the traditional peak season, the sales situation is still difficult to open up. According to the statistics of sample companies monitored by China Silk City Network, the current weaving inventory in Shengze area is about 34.5 days, which is 34.5 days higher than last week. It rose by 0.5 days. There are not many products on the market today, and the sales of conventional fabrics, which occupy a major share of the market, are not as good as expected. In addition, many companies do not dare to produce too much, and some companies are also affected by environmental factors, which has affected their operating rates. The inventory is still changing slightly, but it still cannot change the fact that it has been gradually rising in the recent stage.
Overall, is there any hope for Silver Four? Maybe there is a little bit. But to say whether it can be the same as in previous years, it is highly unlikely to be achieved. But the market will not always be in a state of no demand, and the two million-meter order is a confirmation. After the epidemic, demand will inevitably resurface, and it will definitely return to a hot situation!
