Recently, news about price increases in various dyeing factories has appeared in the circle of textile people’s friends. The printing and dyeing market has just generally increased on March 1st. Why did the dyeing factory raise dyeing fees again in just over half a month? Is the printing and dyeing market improving again and entering the peak season? Didn’t downstream textile companies say that the prices of raw materials and fabrics will rise sharply after the new year, resulting in the cancellation and termination of many orders? So is the current printing and dyeing market good or bad?
Business and leisure coexist, the dyeing factory market situation Differentiation appears
Any textile person in the textile market should be able to feel that the overall textile market this year is not as good as in previous years. In the past, March and April had to be the period with the largest number of orders in a year. Weaving companies were busy shipping goods, printing and dyeing companies were busy producing, and the overall market did not cool down until summer. But this year, this busy scene was only noticeable in the second half of the year, and then fell into silence.
As a “barometer” of the textile market, the order situation of printing and dyeing factories can best reflect the true state of the current textile market. According to statistics, the current operating rate of printing and dyeing factories on the market is only about 82%. During the peak season in March of previous years, the operating rate of printing and dyeing plants has always been above 95%, or even 100%. However, the start-up situation of printing and dyeing plants this year is only slightly better than last year, which is far lower than that of the same period in previous years.
Of course, these changes in boot rate reflect the overall According to the market situation, many textile companies do not feel the leisure of production in printing and dyeing factories. On the contrary, they feel the busy situation of pressing cards and queuing. According to a salesperson from a dyeing factory, their factory’s orders this year are very good, and small orders with a smaller meter length are basically stuck for about 10 days. The busyness of some dyeing factories is not only reflected in the pressing of cards, but also in the planning and production planning. As soon as the workshop director or factory director arranges the dye vat production plan, the office is always crowded with customers, all hoping that their orders can be placed as soon as possible.
On one side, printing and dyeing are queuing up for production, and on the other side, the overall operating rate is low. Are the orders from printing and dyeing factories good or bad?
The overall orders are insufficient, and production is flowing to low-dye fee factories
It can be said with certainty that this year The overall orders in the textile market are insufficient. Not only do terminal garments have a large amount of inventory, but also because of the recent tense epidemic situation in Europe and the United States and the rise in raw material prices, a large number of textile orders have been cancelled. The overall number of orders on the printing and dyeing side is naturally limited, but these orders do not appear evenly in various regions and dyeing factories. Instead, they are selected based on the dyeing fee price, and eventually flow to the dyeing factory with the lowest dyeing fee.
According to a trader, they recently received an order of more than 60,000 meters of stretch fabric, but because the quotation has increased a lot compared to a year ago, the customer Keeping prices down. In order to increase profits, they are also looking for ways to reduce costs. There is no room for fabric prices, and dyeing fees have become a key target. The dyeing fee for this piece of fabric at their usual dyeing factory is 2 yuan/meter, but they found a cheaper dyeing factory that only costs 1.8 yuan/meter. The dyeing fee suddenly became 10% cheaper, which is equivalent to a 10% increase in profit.
On the contrary, some dyeing prices have been relatively high The number of orders from dyeing factories has obviously declined, especially after the price increase in early March, the number of orders from many dyeing factories has dropped. According to the person in charge of a dyeing factory, their orders after the year exceeded twice their production capacity, and subsequently they also raised their dyeing fees. However, the recent orders in the factory can no longer satisfy the production of all dyeing plants, and the workshop is relatively quiet.
The current textile market has not fully recovered. The market’s orders cannot be compared with previous years. However, the costs of printing and dyeing are increasing year by year, and an increase in dyeing fees is inevitable. However, there are still some small and old dyeing factories with lower production costs and lower dyeing fees than their peers. In this year’s market, they can quickly obtain orders through price means. However, as March is coming to an end, the orders from the year before are gradually being digested, and there is insufficient follow-up on follow-up orders. Orders from these dyeing factories will inevitably gradually weaken.
