It’s just the Spring Festival. Why is the textile market so different before and after the Spring Festival? After seeing the recent ups and downs in the textile market, many textile people may be filled with various questions. The prices of raw materials have increased in various ways. You don’t need to ask. Friends in your circle of friends have already told you which raw materials have increased again, which ones are rising sharply, and which ones are no longer available at high prices.
For weaving companies, the price of raw materials has increased It will inevitably increase production costs, but at the same time it also confirms that the market situation is improving. It can also be seen from the recent status of weaving enterprises that the production operations of the enterprises have not been affected by the excessive price increases of raw materials. In fact, the increase in raw material prices has even accelerated the shipment of gray fabrics by weaving enterprises.
According to a weaving person in charge, before the Spring Festival, the market demand for a stretch fabric they were making was average and the delivery speed was not good. But just a few days after the Spring Festival, the hundreds of thousands of meters of inventory of this stretch fabric were all taken away by a customer.
There are many situations similar to this company in the market. Every day, a large number of trucks pull the inventory of weaving companies away from the warehouse. Some common hot-selling products have been sold out. Bottomed out. Fortunately, weaving companies have resumed production and work earlier than in previous years after the holiday this year, which can meet the market’s demand for gray fabrics.
Workers celebrate the New Year on the spot, helping textile companies start operations at a high level
According to interviews and surveys, weaving companies It is generally said that the startup rate after the holiday is relatively high.
“The current operating rate is 100%, and it has been 100% since the start of construction.”
“The operating rate is already at full capacity, and it will basically be open before the Spring Festival It’s fully operational.”
“Construction started on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and now the operating rate has basically reached 90%”
Judging from the overall startup rate of the weaving market, it has also reached a high of more than 70%. You must know that it is only more than a week after the holiday. In previous years, many workers might not officially return to their workplace until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the startup rate of textile enterprises could only hover around 50% for a long time after the holiday.
The high start-up of weaving enterprises this year is mainly due to the positive impact brought by local governments’ initiative to celebrate the New Year in situ. It not only promotes the start-up rate of weaving enterprises to “skyrocket” after the year, but also solves the recruitment difficulty faced by most enterprises after the year.
According to the person in charge of a T400 fabric production company, the situation of workers returning to work after the New Year is not bad. There are workers who are celebrating the New Year on the spot. The demand for recruitment is average, so it is difficult to recruit workers. Not big. The person in charge of another company that specializes in satin and wedding gauze fabrics also said: “Half of our factories have returned, but now they are all back. It is easier to recruit workers this year than in previous years.”
Of course, the reason why the operating rate of weaving enterprises continues to be high is obviously not only the support of workers even if they are in place, but also the support of order volume cannot be ignored.
Orders are stable and sustained, and textile companies have high confidence
Everyone who is familiar with the rules of the fabric market knows this , the textile market is relatively busy at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. In the past year, due to the global epidemic, the textile market trend has been somewhat abnormal. However, in the past month or so, the epidemic seems to have escaped public attention, mainly because the domestic epidemic has been controlled and foreign countries have also reached a turning point. The domestic textile market has begun to partially recover to its peak season state two years ago, and the order wave after the new year is also what it should be in this season.
“Orders on hand are relatively stable. Now mainly gray fabrics are in the market. The current orders can be maintained until March, mainly four-sided elastic.
“Orders on hand It’s okay, and it will probably last until the end of March. The fabrics on sale are quite miscellaneous, and they have everything, but they are mainly imitation memory series. ”
…
After experiencing a period of silence last year, the textile market has finally reached its peak. We are busy when we are busy, and textile people generally feel that the market this time is different from the occasional hot sales last year. This time the market is gradually recovering. For the upcoming March and April, they are even more optimistic and positive.
“I am still optimistic about the market in March. Just after the New Year, the market is so good. The peak season of March and April will definitely not be bad, and the epidemic situation abroad will also be gradually came under control. “A textile person in charge said. Another person in charge also said: “I feel that the market down there should be good. The recent market is crazy, and domestic and foreign trade customers are placing orders. ”
A large number of orders are indeed welcomed by the market, but this time the market is always accompanied by various price increases. This kind of top-down increase price, can the downstream accept it?
Raw materials and fabrics have risen, and customer acceptance is average
We have seen too much news about price increases of various fabrics recently. The main reason for the increase in fabric prices this time is that the price of raw materials has increased sharply. It is rising day by day, even…��Scenes of rising prices within half a day are quite common recently.
“One of the raw materials we often make was 7,000 per ton at the end of last year. It has reached 9,000 in the past few days, and it is estimated that it will exceed 10,000 in a few days.” said a business leader.
The 20-30% increase in raw material prices has made many weaving companies extremely regretful. Due to the poor market conditions last year due to the global epidemic, raw material prices continued to fall, causing many companies that prepared raw materials before the 2020 Spring Festival to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, many companies are extremely cautious this year, buying and using raw materials as they come, and have no intention of stockpiling large quantities of raw materials.
Although there are more or less fabrics produced from last year’s low-priced raw materials in warehouses, the market has long been aware of the trend and has been snapping up these low-priced fabrics. . Some conventional varieties can now only be produced using raw materials with rising prices, and the prices of these fabrics have basically risen sharply.
According to a trader, they have a stretch fabric that is used all year round. The price of this fabric a year ago was 3.05 yuan/meter, which was only half a meter. It has risen to 3.5 yuan/meter in many months.
Downstream customers generally find it difficult to accept large increases in a short period of time, mainly because most of the orders in their hands are from a year ago, and this part of the quotation is also based on The market reported it two years ago, but the current increase has basically eaten up all profits. In order to retain orders and customers, some trading companies can only accept it “tearfully”, but there are also many large customers who are making the final struggle.
The textile market has gone from the trough in a short period of time The peak brings the weaving operation rate and gray fabric price to a high level instantly. However, the downstream response speed cannot keep up at all, and companies with a large number of early quotations will inevitably face losses. Perhaps only after the prices of raw materials and fabrics stabilize, the textile market can truly usher in a full peak season.
