In the next half month, its changes will be so critical that textile companies may suffer heavy losses if they are not careful!
The stimulus brought by the surge in raw materials in the past two days has made weaving manufacturers more and more headaches. Although raw materials have been rising, orders have become more hesitant.
According to convention, March should be the time when domestic sales and foreign trade market demand amplify. The market demand for light and thin fabrics is more prominent, especially imitation silk fabrics used for summer clothing. However, judging from feedback, orders for summer clothing fabrics this year are not large. Most of them are placed in the form of small orders. The supply of conventional chiffon exceeds demand in the market, and transactions are still being made at a lower price. Due to the slow placement of orders, the sales of some products have declined. At this time, it is difficult for cloth prices to rise, but they are unwilling to fall. Foreign orders are even more cautious based on the current situation.
However, compared with orders, the current price of raw materials has risen too fast, thereby worsening the production and operation risks of midstream and downstream enterprises, which deserves more attention. According to the increase in raw material prices in previous years, there are four types: first, the increase is affected by changes in external factors; second, the increase is due to price transmission; third, the increase is following the trend; fourth, the increase is speculation. Recently, the price of raw materials has almost universally increased, and the increase has been relatively large. Generally speaking, various factors leading to the increase in raw material prices seem to be at work, and four types of price increases actually exist.
Judging from the current downstream psychology, once the price of raw materials drops back at this time, the cost of gray fabrics made with high-priced raw materials will become higher. Once the market continues to decline, gray fabrics that are already at the profit and loss line will accumulate into inventory again.
The uncontrollable increase in raw materials has already caused headaches for textile workers. Now it has caught up with the increase in steam prices. Printing and dyeing factories may also have to step in. If dyeing fees increase, it will be even worse for the production and operation of enterprises.
A thermal power plant in Shaoxing recently issued a notice. The notice stated that due to tight supply and demand of domestic spot coal sources and continued decline in power plant inventories. It is not ruled out that gas prices will rise significantly this month. We all know that steam price is a major expenditure in the operating costs of printing and dyeing plants. Therefore, as long as the steam price increases, it will definitely reduce the profits of printing and dyeing factories. This is why, for dyeing factory owners, changes in steam prices are something that they need to pay attention to every day.
Therefore, the notice also recommends that the printing and dyeing factories in the area arrange production reasonably, try to avoid the peak period of high coal prices, and make advance notice of the increase in dyeing processing fees! The increase in operating costs of printing and dyeing plants will, to some extent, lead to an increase in dyeing processing fees. Weavers, we are suffering from the surge in labor and raw materials this year. Why do we still need to join in the fun with dyeing fees? The next step is to bring a lot of pressure to the textile people! In the future, we hope that textile makers will respond reasonably to the increase in dyeing fees!
The price goes up, and the more it goes up, the more panic you get! Perhaps what brings to textile practitioners is not business, but more priceless products!
