Recently, news has come out again in the market that some dyeing factories in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Wuxi, Jiangsu and other places have begun to increase prices again in September. The extent of the price increase depends on the color depth, ranging from 0.1 to 0.4. Yuan/meter.
At the same time, the price of T400 fabric, which has been constantly rising in the market some time ago, seems to have also It has started to rise, and the cool silk cotton series also has the momentum to follow the rise.
The market is correct There is a partial improvement
For textile companies in 2020, price reductions are nothing new, but price increases are still very rare. This time dyes and some fabrics have both increased. price, does it mean that the “Golden Nine” is really coming? In a sense it is.
The number of orders on the market has indeed increased after September. Judging from what we have learned from the market in the past two weeks, the order intake of textile companies in September was relatively high. There was a significant improvement in August.
Mr. Yang, a company specializing in chemical fiber and rayon fabrics, said that after September, the number of foreign trade orders increased significantly, and the orders were mainly used to make coats and down jackets in autumn and winter. Some fabrics, including stretch products like T400 and cool silk cotton.
It can also be clearly seen from the aspects of weaving inventory and operating rate. After September, the operating rate of weaving enterprises continues to increase, while the inventory of gray fabrics begins to gradually decrease.
Although the magnitude of the decline is not large at present, for weaving companies, It will be very difficult for production and sales to remain flat in 2020. It is a matter of great joy that gray fabric inventory can begin to decline.
It can also be seen from the data released by the China Customs Administration that in August, textile and clothing exports US$30.93 billion, an increase of 23.2% (the national export of goods trade increased by 9.5%), of which textile exports were US$14.72 billion, an increase of 48.5%, and clothing exports were US$16.21 billion, an increase of 6.6%.
The reasons why dyeing factories increase prices are slightly different from those of gray fabrics. The factory’s recent market situation is indeed slightly better than in the past, but it is not so good that we have to queue up to wait for work to be done. Judging from the reasons given by the dyeing factories, the main reasons for this round of price increases are the rising prices of dyes and chemical materials and the rising workers’ wages and environmental protection costs. This is a situation where the increase is inevitable.
There is a classic coal joke about the economic crisis. Although the textile industry has not yet reached the level of economic crisis this year, the overcapacity problem caused by the epidemic is equally serious.
At a certain point, when production capacity becomes excessive, the company can sell fewer products. The more expensive the product is, because the company needs to increase the unit price of the product to maintain its own survival. Moreover, the price increase this time is not large, ranging from 100 to 300 yuan per ton. Because it has increased so much, customers may run away.
Price increases are only an isolated phenomenon
At the same time, we must also look at It should be noted that the price increase of dyeing factories and some fabrics is also a relatively isolated phenomenon.
Polyester filament is the most commonly used fiber in the textile industry, and its usage accounts for more than half of the country’s total fiber. In the first half of the year, after being suppressed by the COVID-19 epidemic and the plunge in crude oil, the price of polyester filament has almost hit the bottom. In the words of some cloth bosses, polyester filament has reached the point where “if you want to buy the bottom, the bottom is now every day.”
However, after September, the price of polyester yarn did not increase but decreased. At first, we can say that it was due to the sharp drop in international oil prices (crude oil prices fell below 40 US dollars at the beginning of the month). mark), but crude oil prices clearly rebounded sharply last week, but polyester prices still fell slightly.
The price of polyester filament did not rise but fell, and the inventory of polyester factories and the operating rate of weaving enterprises Regarding the shortage, even if the operating situation of weaving enterprises has improved after July, it is still only over 70%, which is far lower than the same period in previous years. Nowadays, weaving enterprises are secretive about stockpiling raw materials, so it is really difficult for polyester factories to destock. Disaster.
On the other hand, the price increase of fabrics is also an individual phenomenon in a few categories. The pongee, polyester taffeta, and imitation silk that have the largest stocks on the market have also not appeared. Increase prices or even sell goodsThis situation still happens from time to time.
In addition, there is a situation in the market today, that is, some customers only need new blanks when placing orders, and do not need to stock fabrics. The large amount of inventory in the warehouse is of no use. After a long time, if the funds are under pressure, they can only sell them. It can be seen that the market is far from being able to sit back and relax.
Editor’s note: Starting from September, the market will The price of some hot-selling fabrics has increased, which to some extent illustrates the improvement of the textile market. But from another point of view, the increase this time is not large and can only be regarded as a test of the market. Moreover, such price increases are only an isolated phenomenon. Polyester filament did not rise after September but fell instead, while pongee yarn , polyester taffeta, the most widely used fabrics in the market, also did not increase. But overall, compared with the situation in the first half of the year, the market today is still developing in a good direction.
