The off-season market in June has not been fully reflected, and the order situation is even better than in May. The unexpected popularity of autumn and winter fabrics has made the entire June a relatively busy scene. But at the same time, July, which is the off-season, is not so lucky. The sudden drop in orders and the surge in raw materials directly caught the textile bosses off guard…
I visited many textile bosses, and they all said that they were not optimistic about the market in July, and that there would be no reversal.
“The market won’t be good in July. It’s almost mid-July, and we have very few orders on hand. The factory is basically producing at a low level. These are all orders left over from June, and it is obvious that the market situation has obviously started to turn sluggish in July,” several textile bosses said.
In terms of startup, inventory, and order status, they said this:
Mr. Wu, who specializes in elastic fabrics and satin: “Our factory is in the periphery and has not been affected by production restrictions. The current startup is consistent with the previous period. It is fully open. But there are no orders now. We have plans to reduce production, maybe by half. It is expected to stop until the end of summer.”
Mainly engaged in polyester towers The CEO of Hufu, pongee, and four-way elastic said: “We have limited production by 50%, but currently we do not have much inventory, only about 500,000 meters. We mainly produce for our own orders, and we will not reduce production in the future, because there are still Under production restrictions, the operating rate is not high.”
Mr. Tang, who mainly sells polyester cotton and nylon cotton: “Because the operating rate in factories with limited production is inherently low. It is only about 70%, but orders have decreased and inventories have increased. If the market weakens later, production should be reduced. If production is reduced, it should be reduced by at least half. Anyway, the weather is getting hot, so we will shut down for a while first.”
The above textile bosses all said that orders have decreased, inventories have increased, and they plan to reduce production, but there are also other…
Mr. Liang, who specializes in Oxford cloth and polyester taffeta: “The factory is located in the periphery, and there are currently no plans to reduce production. It mainly produces some conventional products. Now the number of conventional products is It is still possible to sell goods, and there are no plans to reduce production in the future.”
Mr. Shen, who specializes in high-elastic pongee and polyester taffeta: “We Basically, the products produced are sold out every day, and the orders are quite good. However, due to production restrictions, the factory is currently only 70% operational. There is currently no inventory, and there are no plans to reduce production in the future. I hope that the production restrictions will pass soon. ”
At present, it seems that the reduction of orders has become a very common phenomenon. Only a few textile bosses have good order conditions. This is not surprising. The textile market is polarized. After so many years of differentiation, I have long been accustomed to this kind of operation. Looking at it from the perspective of most textile bosses. Entering July, a reduction in orders is inevitable. After all, it is the off-season. Fortunately, production is now limited, which can alleviate the embarrassing situation of a lack of orders.
As for the price of raw materials and fabrics, they said this:
Main business Mr. Wu from elastic fabrics and satin: “I bought dozens of days’ worth of raw materials during the price reduction promotion, and I won’t buy them yet. The raw materials are expected to increase in the future, especially spandex, which has a great impact on us. Our elasticity Fabrics have also generally increased by about 0.1 yuan/meter. We will see the market later. When the market improves, there will be no more price cuts.”
Mainly engaged in polyester taffeta , pongee, and four-way elastic: “Basically, I just need to buy it, but I bought it a few days ago when the polyester price just went up, and now it has fallen again, I feel a little regretful. I am not optimistic about it in the short term, and the market is still in the off-season. , there should be more promotions. We have also increased the fabric a little, about 0.3 yuan/meter. If it doesn’t increase, we will have to pay for it ourselves.”
Mainly selling polyester Mr. Tang from cotton and jin cotton: “Although the price has increased, I will still buy some, mainly for the orders on hand. The price increase should be stopped soon and there will be promotions. After all, it is the off-season, no one is buying, and the raw material factory itself It can’t be digested. Conventional fabrics will be adjusted. In the later stage, we still have to look at the rising trend of raw materials, and the prices will increase according to the raw material market.”
Since the end of June, polyester factories have ended their usual weekly sales, and along with the sharp rise in crude oil and PTA, they have also risen. In just half a month, The time increase ranges from 600 to 800, which makes textile bosses who did not buy silk in the early promotions can’t help but regret it, but there is no regret medicine. Textile bosses who have orders in hand still have to buy as needed. Fortunately, most manufacturers are used to buying silk on the machine. The quantity to be used must be prepared before production. Otherwise, based on the current price of raw materials compared with the price of gray fabric previously negotiated with the customer, there will not be much profit in the first place. Now it is just…��Lound into a loss-making situation.
The raw materials have increased so much that the textile bosses will not be able to bear it if the price does not increase. In the early days, some textile bosses said they did not dare to raise prices for fear that customers would not accept it, but Assuming that prices are not raised, I am afraid that they will not be able to sustain it in the end, so raising prices is also a helpless move by some textile owners. However, it is the off-season, and perhaps raw material factories have too much inventory to digest, so they will still promote appropriately.
According to the current market situation, there should be no signs of reversal in a short time. The good orders in June are just an accident. The third This quarter is the off-season for the textile market. Generally speaking, a decrease in orders is the correct picture. This year, the textile market seems to be particularly fond of autumn and winter fabrics, especially elastic fabrics. The same is true for orders in June, most of which are for the second half of the year. Prepare for stocking up. Perhaps the current decrease in orders is just a temporary adjustment during the off-season. By late August, there will be a steady stream of orders placed. Please look forward to it!
