Today, a trading friend complained to the editor: “Recently, a customer in the United States just placed an order for tens of thousands of meters of oblique peach printing. It was almost finished, and suddenly he said it was cancelled. It’s really ridiculous. I don’t understand!”
Although the trader said that the cancellation of the order will not have a great impact on them, because their other customers also make this kind of fabrics, and they believe that this batch of goods can be sold later. However, this kind of regional cancellation of orders is also troublesome. If the canceled fabric is not a regular fabric, or the color is special, it will be more difficult to ship it later.
The risk of doing foreign trade business this year is too great
Since this year, halfway Cancellation of orders is nothing new. In mid-March, the textile industry faced a concentrated cancellation and delay of foreign trade orders. So, what about these orders that were canceled or delayed midway?
A trader said: “In March and April this year, we had a large number of canceled orders for 200,000 meters. At that time, we had all finished dyeing and were sitting in the warehouse. We can only see what happens later. No customers asked for it. Fortunately, our products are more conventional pongee and peach skin. Later, customers will place orders and hope to get the right ones.”
Coincidentally, another trader whose order was canceled Shang Ye said helplessly: “The products we make are relatively niche. At that time, 50,000 meters were canceled and they are still in the warehouse. This is mainly because the foreign trade market has not fully recovered. This American customer has not resumed placing orders. If If you can’t get rid of it, you can only sell it as disposed cloth.”
This kind of order cancellation does not only happen in our textile industry. Recently, Kingfa Technology’s 6.8 billion mask order was purchased by the United States There are also rumors about the company letting go of pigeons. Coupled with the recent unclear direction of Sino-US relations, this series of events has made people in the textile industry feel sad. “There are too many uncontrollable factors in foreign trade and it is full of uncertainty.” Sex, since the tariffs were imposed in the Sino-US trade war last year, we have not been able to reach an agreement with our American customers on price and have not placed an order with us until now, which is equivalent to losing this customer. But also because of this matter, we I began to realize that I needed to seize the domestic market and began to develop domestic trade customers. Now I have several powerful clothing brand customers.” A trader sighed.
Market goods and elastic fabrics have begun to be launched, but only 1/3 of last year
In the past week, the market There are many orders for goods and elastic fabrics. If you go to the dyeing factory, you will find that they are basically making these fabrics. According to a dyeing factory salesperson, “This year’s work is obviously much less than last year, only about 1/3 of last year.” The amount of goods was sold out at the end of August last year, but it seems impossible this year.”
The reason is that the lack and reduction of foreign trade orders have caused textile workers to This year’s Golden Festival may be greatly discounted. This phenomenon has also been transmitted from the trade end to weaving factories, printing and dyeing factories, etc. These are labor-intensive industries, so it is very important to reduce labor costs during this period. Many companies are trying to reduce inventory, reduce expenditures, and are forced to give workers a summer vacation. “We mainly focus on foreign trade orders. We have a holiday from mid-August and give workers a daily subsidy of 60 yuan. The inventory in the factory has been at a high level for more than 2 months.” “Now that we receive the order, we only need to arrange a few workers to deliver the goods. It is estimated that the factory will be reopened in mid-September. It won’t work if it is left for too long. The workers will run away and recruitment will be a problem.” A man with more than 200 employees The cloth boss of Taiwan Loom said.
Textile companies are having a tough time this year, especially traders and manufacturers that mainly deal with foreign trade orders. Jinjiu is just around the corner, but it is impossible for the market to return to what it was last year this year. After all, the impact of the epidemic is too great. Some foreign brands and retailers are cutting orders, closing factories, and even going bankrupt. collapse. The impact of this epidemic may not be recovered in this half year. In addition, the textile industry itself is already in a state of oversupply and demand. The market competition is very fierce. Going forward, the two-level differentiation will become more and more prominent. , with so many negative factors, companies can only gain a place by improving their products, making differences, and gaining market recognition. </p
