Late August has arrived. In previous years, the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” has begun at this time, but today’s market seems to have not seen any movement and is still in the off-season.

The market is getting weaker, and the loom operating rate is again Decline
After research, we found that the market seems to be weaker this week, with weaving manufacturers reducing gray fabric shipments and traders finding it difficult to maintain orders on hand. Although this week’s survey results show that most of the looms in the sample companies are fully operational, for the entire market, the operational rate has dropped to 70%. This is mainly due to the further reduction in the number of gray fabric shipments, and the inventory of manufacturers has shown a slight upward trend, so some manufacturers’ looms have also followed suit.
Mr. It has increased by 30%.”
Mr. Zhou of the imitation silk manufacturer also said that there are no orders in hand recently, only proofing, and there are not many gray fabrics in the factory. The inventory is constantly rising, and the looms are only 80% operational.
Many manufacturers have said that the recent sales situation is worse than that in July, inventory remains empty, and the market mentality and atmosphere are bearish. Specifically, looking at the operating situation of looms in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets, Changshu warp knitting is around 90%; Haining warp knitting is slightly below 80%; Changxing water jet is around 70%; Xiaoshao circular knitting is above 50%. Judging from the trend chart, the cluster areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are showing a downward trend.

There are still bright products, with nylon and pongee performing outstandingly
Although the overall performance of the gray fabric market is weak, there are still some outstanding gray fabrics. In June, there is a strong trend of “the off-season is not slow”. Some autumn and winter fabrics are in good condition and even sold out. In August, the most popular gray fabrics on the market are still autumn and winter fabrics. In addition to elastic fabrics, down jacket fabrics such as pongee and nylon also have certain sales volume.
Needless to say, nylon spinning is different from polyester as raw material, with different production capacity and different manufacturers. This has led some textile people to perform “special” operations on nylon products, so its sales volume is still the same. It’s quite impressive, and most of the manufacturers’ gray fabric inventories have been cleared.
Mr. Shi, a weaving manufacturer that mainly produces pongee, nylon and imitation memory, said: “The company mainly produces these conventional autumn and winter fabrics. Although the market is indeed very light, this type of fabric is pretty good. There is still a certain amount, so the machine is always running at full capacity.”
Manager Wang of the nylon product manufacturer revealed: “Recently, the two specifications of 380T and 400T nylon spinning are relatively popular, but the one that is particularly popular in the market is The quality is on the low side, so our company mainly focuses on orders. I feel that orders are increasing recently. In the past, nylon spinning was almost getting better.”
Mr. Xue also revealed that in addition to nylon spinning, 300T pongee spinning is also It is better and is also used in the production of down jackets. The orders received recently are all made of this fabric.
Due to the hype of market players, not only has some specifications of nylon woven gray fabrics become extremely popular, , and prices also rose accordingly. Mr. Shi said that the price of some nylon gray fabrics increased by 0.1 yuan/meter in August compared with July, but the shipment volume dropped significantly from the previous month.
Mr. Wang also said that after some market-quality nylon yarns were purchased in large quantities, the price of 400T nylon yarns has increased by 1 yuan/meter compared with May, but the order quality price still cannot go up.

The market overdraft is not obvious in advance, and the market outlook is still unclear
There are not many orders for nylon fabrics actually being produced in the market. Most of the gray fabrics are in the hands of traders and may be circulated on the market in September or October. If you stock up too much, it will easily cause the market to be overdrawn in advance. Although manufacturers have basically not felt that the market has been overdrawn in advance, if there is a sluggish peak season in the future, then a large amount of gray fabrics in the hands of traders will not be sold, and weaving manufacturers are still producing a steady stream of fresh gray fabrics. The market at that time may be Oversupply will be evident.
Mr. Zhou believes that although the market will not It is overdrafted, but it may be difficult to prosper in September and October. In particular, imitation silk has not been selling well in recent years. During the peak season of March and April in the first half of the year, sales were not as good as expected, so the second half of the year is not expected to be very good either.
Mr. Shi’s attitude towards the market outlook seems to be more pessimistic. He believes that the market outlook may be even worse. The worsening of foreign epidemics will have a lagging impact on the textile industry, which is likely to be gradually reflected in the future.
As for the market outlook, textile people have different opinions, with pessimism and optimism coexisting. September and October are the traditional peak seasons, so orders will naturally be better than at present, but the epidemic is still a key factor restricting demand.
