With the arrival of September, the market has shown signs of recovery.
Recently, a foreign trade clothing boss who opened a factory in Guangdong said that production orders have recently recovered by about 80%, and they are expected to return to the same period in previous years starting in September. Due to insufficient orders in the factory in the early days, many workers returned to their hometowns to take care of their children. Now that orders have picked up, he has begun to worry about a new round of recruitment problems.
In addition, the world’s leading shoe manufacturer After Baocheng laid off 4,000 employees in the early stage, its legal representative recently said that it could see signs of economic recovery as soon as the fourth quarter. Baocheng executives revealed that orders for the footwear industry have gradually stabilized in the fourth quarter. As long as the epidemic does not worsen, the outlook for next year will be cautiously optimistic.
Recently, the editor also made a report on China Silk Capital Network According to a survey on September orders, nearly 200 people participated in the voting. As a result, 50% of the voters believed that orders in September were better than the previous month and were cautiously optimistic about the market outlook.
Various signs prove that entering September, the entire textile and apparel market is at the edge of There is a high possibility of improvement, and facts have proven that orders in the domestic trade market are still being placed, and orders at the weaving end have partially recovered. Textile shoes, clothing and home textile products have recovered to varying degrees, among which warp knitted velvet winter fabrics are also relatively strong. The market is in tight demand and the market opening has improved compared with the beginning of August.
According to monitoring data from the China Silk City Network, the operating rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has recently returned to about 70%, of which the operating rate of water-jet looms is about 70%, and the operating rate of warp knitting machines It has recovered to 80-90%, and the operating rate of circular knitting machines is around 50%, which has increased month-on-month by about 5 percentage points from the beginning of August.
Although the market appears to have a “peaceful” atmosphere on the surface, For most textile bosses, market trading is still under great pressure. The overall market volume is tight compared with the same period last year. It is difficult to boost the overall market volume. In addition, under the imbalance of supply and demand, Market competition has become more intense, and polarization has become increasingly obvious.
The demand for ammonia and imitation ammonia is strong, and construction starts in Haining are picking up
It is understood that entering In July, Haining’s warp knitting market situation improved significantly. The demand for ammonia super, imitation ammonia super and other fabrics in the market continued to improve, and orders performed well. Many textile bosses were able to maintain orders around October, and sales have returned to the same period last year.
“Recently, our orders have been relatively stable, the machines in the factory are fully operational, and customers have been receiving goods, so our inventory has been reduced to about 10 days. This year, profits are a bit lower, but Our sales have not decreased,” said the owner of a textile factory in Haining area.
Ammonia super fabric is a popular conventional fabric with special characteristics in Haining area in recent years. This fabric uses polyester DTY75D/144F flat + spandex 40D as the main raw materials, and is produced on the warp knitting machine. It is woven and can not only be used as children’s clothing, skirts, casual wear, fashion, but also as home textile fashion fabrics. It is a current seasonal product and has wide applicability, so it has been shipping well in recent times. It is precisely because Therefore, the production capacity of manufacturers has been maintained at 80% or above since August, and many manufacturers are running at full capacity to rush to make orders.
General product requirements Unfortunately, water-jet looms are still “on and off”
On the contrary, the performance of woven fabrics is relatively inferior. In the early stage, it was restricted by high temperature and environmental protection. Water-jet loom manufacturers frequently perform load reduction operations during holidays. Recently, with the lifting of the high temperature warning, the market has resumed operations slightly. However, due to the relatively large social inventory, many water-jet loom manufacturers have already piled up their inventories. Therefore, the early stage of “opening” The “stop-start” situation will not be alleviated in the short term. Manufacturers dare not increase their production starts at will. Some textile bosses are still on vacation and are ready to wait for the market to improve slightly before starting work.
“We are going to start work again in mid-September. Now there are a lot of goods piled up in the factory, but there are very few orders. If I have small orders now, I will find friends. The factory can help with the production, or sell some inventory.” said Mr. Zhang, the owner of a textile factory that makes jacquard fabrics.
Of course, there are still many textile factory owners in the market that produce conventional products who dare not increase their production rates as in previous years even in September, and the factories are still on rotation. Mr. Shen, the owner of a textile factory, said: “In the past, we would put out a few cabinets every week at this time of year. So far this year, we have not done much, so the factory is still working four days and three days off.”In this way, we don’t dare to stock up like we did in July. It’s hard to say whether the market price will depreciate in this market. ”
Judging from the current sales situation, except for the relatively stable demand for elastic fabrics, the production and sales of most other fabrics are difficult to maintain. The market inventory is large, and manufacturers still have low prices. The destocking operation appears.
Editor’s note
When the market was good in previous years, both bulk goods and seasonal products would have their own sales space. However, once terminal demand shrinks and market supply and demand become unbalanced, conventional products The sales space will shrink significantly, and the market polarization will be quite obvious.
The production capacity dividends brought by environmental protection in 2017 have been exhausted, and now the market is facing the contradiction of overcapacity under the epidemic. It is more prominent, and the market has entered the “post-epidemic” era, and companies have also entered an intense stage of product competition. Regarding the current periodic improvement of the market, there is a possibility of overdraft of future orders. If the cold weather clothing market is in Due to poor market sales, it is very likely that the sales of winter clothing fabrics will be terminated early, and market orders lack sustainability. The weaving market may enter the “Spring Festival” mode earlier than in previous years.
