After experiencing a cruel and long off-season, the market ushered in the traditional peak season “Golden Nine”, and demand finally recovered. But the real situation does not seem to be the case. The sales of more conventional products such as pongee, polyester taffeta, nylon and imitation silk are still weak, and the phenomenon of selling goods still exists.
The peak season has arrived, the market has recovered, and the prices of some gray fabrics have increased. Why are most weaving manufacturers still selling goods?
Market recovery encounters bottlenecks, demand for gray fabrics is poor
In fact, although the market has entered In the traditional peak season, demand is indeed recovering, but the market in September seems to have declined compared with August. Since the beginning of August, market demand has continued to improve, elastic products have detonated the market, and market goods have arrived, all of which illustrate the recovery of the market.
However, by the end of August and the beginning of September, this momentum was not strong enough, and it stalled, and even partially fell back. According to reports from some dyeing factories, the warehouse volume in September was reduced by about 1/3 compared with August, and the original crowded and busy situation became leisurely. The order receiving situation of traders is also not as expected. Most of the orders in September have not been started, and there are not many proofings. The weak market situation has meant that for some weaving companies, the improvement in huge inventories has been minimal. The backlog of cloth inventory is a very troublesome problem, and selling goods is a last resort.
Fabric merchants purchase fresh gray fabrics, but it is difficult to sell stocked gray fabrics
In fact, another reason why weaving manufacturers sell goods for a long time is The demand for fabrics has little to do with it, but the inventory is always inventory, and the goods cannot be thrown away for a long time. In other words, a certain weaving manufacturer has 1 million meters of polyester taffeta in its warehouse and sells them at low prices, but what is sold is always the ones just produced by the machine. More than half of the 1 million meters of inventory may be left or almost untouched. Therefore, manufacturers can only be in a state of selling goods for a long time. The reason for this is that when fabric traders purchase gray fabrics, they are unwilling to buy stock fabrics, even if the price is cheap.
A few cents per meter, and the price difference of a few cents per meter is almost unchanged for fabric manufacturers, so it is natural to choose fresh blanks instead of stock blanks that may have quality risks.
According to the person in charge of a trading company, there are many manufacturers selling goods on the market, but normally I buy fresh blanks that have just come off the machine. , unless the order is urgent and fresh blanks are not available, stock cloth will be used. The difference between the two gray fabrics is only 2-3 cents per meter, which has little impact on the price of the finished product and can ensure quality, so you must choose fresh gray fabric.
Pricing chaos has caused some gray fabrics to be eliminated from the market
The inventory quantity of gray fabrics of each specification And the situation of selling goods is different. In addition to the factors of market demand and manufacturer’s production volume, it is also affected by the current price chaos in the gray cloth market. Taking 190T polyester taffeta as an example, the current price of 72g and 78g gray fabrics on the market is the same. In previous years, the price difference between the two should be 0.1 yuan/meter.
A trader said that if the two prices are the same, he must choose the one with the higher weight. The customer wants 72 grams, and the 72-gram gray fabric on the market may not be able to do that. 72 grams, if you choose 78 grams, you can guarantee 72 grams, and the quality will be improved. Who will buy 72 grams? Under such circumstances, the 72-gram 190T polyester taffeta was eliminated from the market and became a stock fabric.
So, is the inventory of cloth really reduced to inventory and can no longer be sold? Of course not, as long as the price is attractive, there will still be fabric merchants who will buy it. Especially for fabric manufacturers who produce market orders, the finished fabrics produced from inventory gray fabrics have little impact on their sales, and customers will not be so particular. For market orders, the price difference of 2-3 cents per meter of gray cloth may be a profit of one meter, so the inventory of gray cloth also has its market.
So many companies in the market are now selling goods for various reasons. The sales have disrupted market prices and made it difficult for some weaving companies to continue operating normally. It is difficult for market prices to return to normal. Even if demand in the market increases, companies still have inventory and still need to sell goods.
