Recently, the textile industry has seen a return of orders, clothing companies operating at full capacity, tight supply of raw materials, and hot sales of downstream gray fabrics. It seems that the off-season is not slow. In order to have a deeper understanding of the closely watched weaving market, the purchasing and editing department of Silkdu.com conducted a survey.
Some gray fabrics are selling well, but the overall sales are poor
The gray fabric market is indeed selling well, but only some specifications of gray fabrics are selling well. Overall, industrial chains such as gray fabrics, fabrics, and printing and dyeing have not shown great improvement. Enterprises are still cautious in placing and receiving orders, and replenishment is mainly based on rigid needs.

Mainly engaged in the industry and trade of pongee, elastic fabrics and washed velvet Mr. Song of the company said that orders in June were much lower than last month, and are now basically being closed, with no new orders received yet. In terms of gray fabrics, pongee and stretch fabrics also sold well, while other products sold slowly. Mr. Weng, who is mainly engaged in pongee fabrics, said: “Our company only receives orders and does not sell market products, so market changes have little impact on us and are generally stable. Recently, market products are in 210T, 230T, 240T, and 300T specifications. The hot sales of pongee have also affected us a little. The shipment volume has increased, but it is not obvious. It is still mainly stable.” “The orders in June are not too many, and they are getting fewer and fewer. Now the elastic products are better. , pongee fabrics are also pretty good. However, most of the goods sold are also stocking up. Because they are optimistic that the market will improve in the second half of the year, some traders have begun to stock up.” Mr. Wu, a weaving company mainly engaged in satin and elastic fabrics, also introduced the current situation Case.

Although the cloth bosses have different views on the future price trend of raw materials, they seem to have reached an agreement not to stock up on raw materials. For each promotion, only necessary purchases are made, and production has begun to become cautious. After all, the increase in inventory is increasing, and avoiding excessive inventory is the most important thing in the off-season.
Printing and dyeing factories generally receive orders and can ship goods smoothly
Dyeing factories also performed generally. The number of gray fabrics entering warehouses only increased slightly due to the hot sales of gray fabrics, but for In terms of overall production capacity, the current incoming warehouse volume is enough to easily cope with the situation. Therefore, even in the case of partial production restrictions, shipments are still smooth and congestion no longer occurs.

A salesperson from a medium and large printing and dyeing factory revealed: “The recent situation in the factory Generally, if the production is limited by 30%, the machine will be 70% operational, the production capacity is balanced, and the delivery time is not tight, about 8-9 days.” Another local printing and dyeing factory limited production by 30%, but the operating rate is only 60%, due to orders The production volume has been reduced, and it has been reduced by another 10% on the basis of production restrictions. Therefore, the production time is relatively generous and can be shipped in 5-6 days.
Weaving companies revealed plans to reduce production in the later period
As the market gradually enters the traditional off-season, many weaving companies believe that appropriately reducing production is a good way to deal with this special period. Mr. Song said: “Nowadays, inventories are increasing significantly, but orders are decreasing. This situation is mainly due to the fact that foreign trade orders are still low, and there are plans to reduce production when the weather gets hotter.” Mr. Wu said that the start of production will be reduced in the future. He said: ” The gray cloth warehouse in the factoryThe deposit is still relatively high. We don’t have many orders on hand right now, and we are only making some prototypes. It is normal to have no orders during the off-season, and foreign trade has not improved due to the epidemic. The probability of opening it will decrease in the future. In previous summers, we would not open it during the day and would open it at night. This is probably going to be the case in the future. ”
But for companies with stable orders and stable inventory, there is no It is necessary to reduce the operating hours as long as the operating rate remains stable. Therefore, Mr. Weng, the Chunya textile manufacturer that produces orders, said that the operating hours will not be reduced in the off-season and will still operate at full capacity. In addition to special production restrictions, production suspensions, power cuts, holidays and other special Except for special circumstances, the machines are fully operational all year round.
While the company has revealed that it has plans to reduce production in the off-season, it has already stated It is predicted that the market outlook will continue to weaken. The haze of the overseas epidemic has not yet dissipated, and the negative news has always existed, so the forecast for the market outlook is slightly pessimistic. Especially during the traditional off-season period, the market is gradually “cooling”, and the market appears The possibility of a reversal is indeed unlikely. You cannot avoid the traditional off-season, so you just have to face it with a correct attitude, but the peak season in the second half of the year is worth looking forward to. Therefore, the current hot sales of some gray fabrics are due to their confidence in the peak season in the second half of the year, which leads to early stocking up. goods.
From the research, the current gray fabric market situation can be summarized as follows:
1. Partial market conditions are picking up, and some specifications of products are selling well. Most other products are unsaleable. Partial hot sales are not enough to support the entire market, so the off-season atmosphere in the overall weaving market is getting stronger and stronger, and will gradually enter the real off-season.
2. Domestic market and Orders in the foreign trade market have also tended to be flat, and trading companies do not have many orders on hand, which can only be maintained until this month.
3. The printing and dyeing side also shows a decrease in order volume. Under the production conditions, the production capacity is still ample and can be shipped smoothly.
4. Textile people are quite confident in the second half of the year and are well prepared for price increases in the industrial chain, so there is a phenomenon of stockpiling of gray fabrics in some places.
