In late August, dyeing factories began to show signs of improvement. Market goods and elastic fabrics began to increase, queues for pressing cards reappeared, and the delivery period was extended to 1 More than a week. Printing and dyeing belong to the downstream of the fabric market. Now that the printing and dyeing factories have begun to improve, have the trading and weaving ends also recovered?
Most trading companies are still short of orders!
If you want to talk about the current market situation, you can probably understand it by going to the market. The person in charge of a sales department said: “Most of the people coming in now They are for collecting and selling fabrics, and there are very few people actually looking for samples. There are also several storefronts next to us that are selling them to save money on rent, but they probably won’t be able to sell them for a while, and now they are using them as warehouses. ”
Due to the impact of the epidemic this year, both foreign trade and domestic trade have been severely hit. Foreign consumer demand has not yet recovered, foreign orders are still missing, and domestic trade The market is also in a situation where there are too many people but too little food, and the order mode has changed from “large batch” to “small batch, multi-batch” mode.
A trader said: “Now the work of the dyeing factory has improved, but they are still elastic fabrics and imitation memory, and there is no The area has improved in a large area. The factory has orders of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is considered a major customer. It is only about 1/3 of last year.” Coincidentally, another trader in nylon spinning also revealed: “This year’s nylon spinning The order quantity is not even half of last year’s, let alone the year before. Last year’s order quantity was reduced by about half compared with the year before, and this year it was reduced by half again. And they are basically from domestic trade customers. We have several from the United States and Russia. Customers, the order volume this year is really very small.”
From this point of view, the current limited orders cannot satisfy most traders, which has also resulted in only a small number of orders being placed. The orders on hand of traders have improved, but most of them are still in a “lack of orders” status. In addition, there are still a lot of uncertainties in Sino-US trade recently, and the US Customs has begun to strictly inspect the certificate of origin: from now on, goods sent to the United States through all channels, outer boxes and products must be labeled “Made in China” ” label, otherwise you may face the situation of being unable to clear customs and being forced to return the shipment. The foreign trade situation is not optimistic!
The market is partially improving, but the inventory of most weaving manufacturers is still at risk of rising
From the perspective of raw materials, polyester manufacturers offer very frequent discounts and promotions. On August 31, the average production and sales of polyester exceeded 100, but it was only “one day”. “Travel”, by September 1, production and sales cooled down rapidly, averaging 50-70%. Even if the price of raw materials is at a low level today, it cannot inspire purchases by weaving manufacturers. In the final analysis, it is still due to the severe excess production capacity in the textile industry and the high inventory. Judging from the data monitored by China Silk City Network, the current situation of weaving factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is Inventories are still at a high of more than 40 days.
“Now only autumn and winter fabrics are getting better, such as T400, T800, four-way stretch, imitation memory, etc. For example, when we make polyester taffeta and pongee, we mainly focus on the specifications of 190T, 290T, and 210T. Only in April and May, protective clothing fabrics took the opportunity to go out of stock. The rest of the time, basically Production inventory. There have been more than 2 months of production now. The funds are all pressed on the inventory. There is no extra money to buy raw materials, so we can only buy and use as we go. The machine will generally not stop unless it really can’t hold on. when it goes down.” said the boss of a cloth shop with more than 100 machines.
“There are too many linings and fabric products on the market. Now only the elastic ones are improving, but they cannot drive the entire market. I know many T400 and T800 manufacturers who can ship tens of thousands of meters of goods every day. , our factory makes artificial silk, and it’s not yet the time to start in spring and summer, so we can only wait.” The boss of a factory that makes artificial silk said helplessly.
Although there are many companies in the market that choose to take holidays and reduce production in order to control funds, there are also many companies that do not stop production. Generally, those with a relatively small number of machines will not choose to take holidays easily, as mentioned above. The cloth boss said that the machine will only be stopped when it reaches the point where it can no longer hold on. And when orders are unsustainable, manufacturers generally choose to produce some conventional fabrics. As a result, the production capacity of conventional gray fabrics in the entire market has not declined. On the contrary, with the arrival of the peak season in September, many factories that had been on holiday due to high temperatures in the early stage have restarted production. In the following days, the social inventory of some conventional gray fabrics will There is a risk of rising again.
Taken together, the current epidemic is still a key factor in the recovery of demand, and it is still unclear when the damaged demand will recover. Although the country currently strongly advocates the expansion of internal circulation, at the beginning of developing domestic trade customers, many companies will obtain resources through price reduction, which will also lead to a decline in the domestic trade market.Falling into a price war. But the road is always paved by people. Next, textile companies still need to control funds and costs to survive the test of this epidemic!
