In November, as the temperature dropped, the textile market seemed to also decline. All products of polyester raw materials have declined to varying degrees, and the price of gray fabrics has stopped rising and stabilized. But no one expected that dyeing fees would come back: in recent days, dyeing factories have been issuing price increase notices, and dyeing fees are still rising.
Through the price increase notice, we can know the reason for the increase in dyeing fees. The price of natural gas has doubled, which has led to a significant increase in the cost of the dyeing factory and increased prices.
The dyeing fee is one price per day, and the cloth boss dare not take the order
Since the implementation of the large-scale power and production restriction policy in mid-to-late September, nationwide Printing and dyeing factories have issued price increase notices one after another, and some manufacturers have even issued them many times, constantly raising prices. This has led to a situation where downstream fabric companies dare not accept orders.
Just like nylon spinning in October, the price of gray fabrics has increased every day, which has confused the fabric companies and they no longer quote prices. Even the quoted prices are ridiculously high, and customers Can not accept. The same is true for the current dyeing fees. They rise every now and then. The price just quoted a few days ago will increase in the next few days, and the price will change again. Should the quotation to the customer be increased or not? Therefore, today’s market puts fabric companies in a dilemma, and some even dare not take orders.
A fabric trader complained: “In October, because the price of nylon gray fabric was ridiculously high and I had to pay for it in cash, I refused to take the order. In November, because of the high dyeing fee, Continuously improve, the orders we negotiated earlier are now at a loss in production, and we will not dare to accept orders in the future. The second half of the year will be really difficult!”
Indeed, dyeing costs are difficult to control. Unlike gray cloth, it can be stocked in advance when the order is just successfully negotiated, and many industrial and trade companies have their own inventory, so no matter how much the price of gray cloth increases in the later period, it will have no impact on the orders that have been signed. However, the dyeing fees are different. Since the colors of each order are different and the dyeing requirements are different, it is difficult to produce in advance. Therefore, it is often the case that the dyeing fee increases during the production of an order, but the fabric price has already been negotiated. Then, it is inevitable that fabric merchants’ profits will decrease, and some orders that originally had low profits will suffer losses.
Printing and dyeing factories are also in dire straits
In fact, behind the rising dyeing fees, it is not only the fabric traders who are sad, but the printing and dyeing factories themselves are also very sad. First of all, from the current point of view, the increase in dyeing fees is due to the increase in costs, not profits. And natural gas has doubled, while dyeing fees have only increased slightly, and profits have been squeezed. Therefore, printing and dyeing factories are also “victims”.
From a longer-term perspective, today’s printing and dyeing market is still in a state of collapse, which means that the dominant power lies in the hands of printing and dyeing factories. Therefore, there is no fear of losing customers even if the price increases. However, as the number of orders received decreases in the later period, once the printing and dyeing factory becomes idle, the high dyeing fees will trigger the loss of customers. If prices are reduced to attract customers, profits will be sacrificed. Therefore, future printing and dyeing factories will suffer from cost pain.
In addition, since the implementation of the environmental protection policy in 2017, almost all printing and dyeing factories have upgraded from coal to steam. Therefore, dyeing and styling processing and production are inseparable from steam, and steam is Natural gas required. However, it may be difficult for natural gas prices to fall in a short period of time. Every winter, the national natural gas supply is very tight, and “gas shortages” occur from time to time. Not only do prices rise sharply, but production may even be restricted again. The end of the year is also the stage when the market is rushing for orders. Production restrictions will slow down the production speed, just like the current situation, causing fabric manufacturers to be unable to deliver on time and a series of headaches.
Although today’s dyeing factories still have the right to speak, they are also “moving forward with a heavy burden.” Price increase is the most helpless and most urgent choice! They are not beautiful, but they have unspeakable hardships!
