Do you still remember the craziness of the textile market in the week after the new year? The inventories of gray fabrics in various weaving factories were cleared out, and various trucks continued to deliver all kinds of gray fabrics to the printing and dyeing factories. The gray fabrics in the dyeing factory were piled up like mountains, even outside the gate. The entire market is completely in peak season, but the production workshop is not as busy as expected. Even at the beginning of the new year, when factory workers had not yet fully returned, there was no congestion, queues, or jamming in production at the dyeing factory.
However, dyeing factories have been extremely busy recently. Pressure and stoppages are common. Some dyeing factories have even received so many orders that gray fabrics have begun to be unloaded. There’s a queue!
Dyeing factory card issuance is suspended, and the queue has been waiting for more than a week
“We recently made some small orders at the dyeing factory. The quantity is not very large, only a few kilometers, but it has been pressed for a week. It is not clear how many days we will have to wait. Moreover, the factory has stopped issuing cards. What will happen later? Orders coming into the warehouse have to wait endlessly,” said an employee of a textile company.
“The factory has been very busy recently, although the volume of warehouses has dropped a bit. A week ago, there were 700,000 meters per day, and now there are 600,000 meters, but in the dyeing factory It’s already very crowded, and the queues for production are obvious,” said a person in charge of a dyeing factory.
The recent boom in dyeing factories has been felt by textile people. However, as far as the weaving market is concerned, the recent shipments have dropped significantly compared with the previous period. The warehouse volume of dyeing factories is also gradually declining, so why is the production of dyeing factories so booming?
Insufficient operating rate, market supply Massive sales
The production of dyeing factories has been tense recently. First of all, it is because the number of workers in the dyeing factories is insufficient, and the overall operating rate of the dyeing factories is not high. According to an employee of a dyeing factory, the current operating rate of their factory is only 70%, mainly due to the shortage of workers, which makes it difficult for many production links to operate normally. Although this year due to the policy of celebrating the Chinese New Year in situ, factory resumption and recruitment after the new year are better than in previous years, many employees still choose to return home.
In addition, the printing and dyeing market was not good last year, and the operating rate was low throughout the year. Many factories shortened the working hours of workers and reduced their income. Many workers have been forced to change careers or go to work in other areas, resulting in an overall labor shortage in the printing and dyeing industry. One month after the new year, all workers who were able to return to work have returned, and it is difficult to recruit workers for the remaining positions. Many dyeing factories have seen salespeople working with customers to help with production.
On the other hand, market orders have increased in the near future A large number of goods were sold out, and a large number of gray fabrics were sold in the weaving market after the new year. Most of them were replenished and stocked by spot dealers. However, in a short period of time, they did not know exactly what quality and color of fabric they needed. Therefore, most of the inventory entering the dyeing factory could only wait in the gray fabric warehouse. However, recently, these orders have begun to be mass-produced and flowed to the market. Especially for elastic fabrics, orders of one million meters are very common. At the same time, the production time is also strict. It often takes three to two days or a week to ship, so the entire dyeing factory production is extremely tight.
Dyeing fees may rise again
After this year In the past half month, dyeing factories have experienced an overall increase in dyeing fees, supported by a large number of orders. However, there is still the possibility of another increase in dyeing fees recently.
On the one hand, the price of dyes is rising. Take disperse black ECT 300% as an example. The price of this type of dye was 30 yuan/kg a year ago, and it will rise after the year. It reached 35 yuan/kg and was recently raised again to 38 yuan/kg. The prices of other major disperse dyes and various categories of dyes have been increased by 10% simultaneously! The rise in dye prices is undoubtedly the most favorable support for the increase in dyeing fees.
On the other hand, the current proportion of dyeing factory orders is unbalanced. Although there are many dyeing factory orders now, it does not necessarily mean that the dyeing factory must be very profitable. . First of all, most of the current orders are market goods orders, which are very sensitive to dyeing fee prices. According to a trader, he has 2 million meters of four-sided fabrics in production. The current dyeing fee is 1.5 yuan/meter, but the dyeing fee for other small and medium-sized customers to make such fabrics is generally more than 2.2 yuan/meter.
Recently, most of the dyeing factories have customers with large orders. Although the dyeing factories are very busy, the dyeing fees are relatively not high. Dyeing factories are eager to adjust dyeing fees, especially for small and medium-sized customers, to increase profits in order to balance the shrinking profits caused by large customers.
The dyeing factory is indeed very busy now, but in The gradual shrinking of warehouses also seems to mean that subsequent orders are weak, but the current busyness may push up dyeing costs again.
