Finally, after the prices of textile raw materials and fabrics increased, the price of dyeing fees also rose in March. Although the increase in dyeing fee prices is closely related to the long-term stasis of dyeing fees and the recent increase in dye costs. But what cannot be ignored is that the order volume of dyeing factories has improved significantly in recent days. It is precisely because of this that each dyeing factory has enough reason and courage to increase dyeing fees. But after just one Spring Festival, can the textile market really reverse the tepid situation during the epidemic to the hot market in adulthood?
Through a notice from a dyeing factory, we may be able to see some of the real printing and dyeing market conditions. This notice has a lot of content, but it can be summed up in one sentence: the dyeing factory is not a warehouse. If the customer has not finished the gray fabric after entering the warehouse for more than 100 days, he will have to withdraw the warehouse and fine the salesperson.
This The notice is very special. Normal dyeing factories want their gray fabrics to be piled up everywhere, and they rarely publicly limit the time when customers can bring their gray fabrics into the warehouse. However, this dyeing factory has strict requirements, which seems to drive customers away. So why do dyeing factories take such measures?
Customers use the dyeing factory as a warehouse
It is indeed a good thing for the dyeing factory that a large number of gray fabrics continue to enter the warehouse, but If these gray fabrics are just entering the warehouse and the customer is not in a hurry to produce them or the production cycle is very long, it will not be a good thing for the dyeing factory. Because this type of customer completely treats the dyeing factory as a warehouse. It gave the dyeing factory a false order expectation, and also occupied a large amount of the dyeing factory’s gray fabric warehouse, affecting the production of other orders.
In fact, this situation of using dyeing factories as warehouses is relatively common in the recent printing and dyeing market. According to the person in charge of a dyeing factory, they have a lot of orders in the week after the new year. In the first three days of the new year, 5 million meters of gray fabrics were shipped into the warehouse. This volume has far exceeded the factory’s daily production capacity of 700,000 meters, not to mention that the factory’s operating rate was only a little over 50% in the first year. However, there was no jamming in the factory, and there was no obvious crowding or queuing in production, mainly because many of these orders were not in a rush to be produced.
Using the dyeing factory as a warehouse will not only occupy a large amount of the dyeing factory’s gray fabric warehouse, affecting the production of other orders, but also It created a false order expectation in the textile market and misled the entire textile people in their judgment of the market. In other words, the current textile market may not be as good as everyone expected.
The printing and dyeing operation rate is not high, resulting in a concentration of orders
According to According to market research, as of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month (February 26), the printing and dyeing operation rate in Shengze area was only about 50%. On February 23, 24, and 25, they were only about 15%, 26%, and 42% respectively. Even today, March 2, the market operating rate has only returned to about 75%. In other words, in recent times, the operating rate of the entire printing and dyeing market has been at a low level. Of course, the main reason why printing and dyeing production capacity cannot keep up is that the non-local workers in various factories have not yet been in place, or workers have not yet been recruited for some positions that were lacking people a year ago.
There is a backlog of orders for the Spring Festival holiday. In the face of such a low opening rate, orders will inevitably be liquidated. Crowded. However, as the operating rate gradually recovers, there are doubts whether market orders can continue to cause production tensions for dyeing factories.
Market orders flood into dyeing factories
On the other hand The current distribution of customers in the printing and dyeing market is uneven, and there are a large number of market orders and spot customers. In fact, we can see the clues from the fact that in the early stage, weaving companies had a large amount of low-priced inventory from last year, which was swept away by a large number of customers after the price increase of raw materials. Only this type of customers can buy hundreds of thousands or millions of meters of inventory. However, although these types of customers are large in volume, they come and go quickly. It is unrealistic for the printing and dyeing market to rely entirely on these types of customers.
What’s more, in the current printing and dyeing market, these customers are the main ones who use dyeing factories as warehouses. They now have a large amount of low-priced fabrics from years ago, but they lack terminal orders. Most of these customers are more cautious when arranging gray fabric dyeing, so the order production cycle is long.
The entrances to various dyeing factories are piled with gray fabrics, which is the best proof of the current boom in warehouses. However, it is normal for orders to be crowded when the availability is low, not to mention that many single customers in the market are not in a hurry to produce. The crowding at the factory gate cannot prove that the production workshop is busy. Therefore, this “peak season” of the printing and dyeing market may not be as good as everyone imagined. </p
