“Recently, there are so many warp-knitted suede fabrics in our factory that they are so full that they affect the shipment of other types of fabrics. The dye vats are already at full capacity, and the delivery time for conventional fabrics is still 10 days away. , I’m so worried!” complained a salesperson from a dyeing factory.
It is understood that the number of warehouses entered by the above-mentioned printing and dyeing factory has begun to increase recently, from the original 200,000 to 300,000 meters per day to 500,000 to 600,000 meters per day, and the start-up rate has also increased from 70% rose to full opening. Dyeing varieties include most conventional gray fabrics, such as polyester taffeta, nylon, taslan, suede, etc. Among them, the amount of suede is particularly large, accounting for almost half of the entire warehouse. Since the dyeing process of suede is very complicated and involves many processes, it will have a certain impact on the dyeing of other gray fabrics. Moreover, dyeing factories give priority to customers with large quantities, so the dyeing delivery time for conventional gray fabrics reaches more than 10 days.
Suede orders are placed in batches
Suede is a thicker fabric. Therefore, it is mostly used in autumn and winter. The second half of the year is its home field. Recently, the market has released news of increased sales of autumn and winter fabrics, and suede is one of the popular products. According to the person in charge of a local weaving company that produces suede, the recent sales of suede gray fabric have been better than the previous period, and sales have begun to increase. They are mostly used in winter shoes and clothing.
The boss of another suede company said: “Our company mainly exports. From the beginning of the overseas epidemic at the beginning of this year to July, we have not received a total of 100,000 meters of orders. In these two days I received an order of 70,000 meters at once, and it is continuous, and I keep getting goods. According to the customer, a long-term cooperative relationship can be achieved, and there will be repeated orders.”
Some autumn and winter fabrics perform well
The popularity of suede is a local phenomenon. Recently, some autumn and winter fabrics have performed well. The situation has improved, with some fabrics performing outstandingly. No matter how dull the market is, there are always some bright spots, which is normal. In addition to suede, T800, imitation memory, Taslan, nylon and other autumn and winter fabrics have also improved to a certain extent. The shipment of gray fabrics has gradually become smoother. Printing and dyeing factories have received batch orders for autumn and winter fabrics, and the amount of goods entering warehouses has increased. For example, T800 is undoubtedly the best-selling product at this stage. Due to the shortage of its raw materials and the gradual maturity of the dyeing process, it has become the leader in autumn and winter fabrics, resulting in short-selling of inventory.
Since August already belongs to the transitional stage of the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” periods, which is the starting point for autumn and winter fabrics, it is reasonable to see the increase in autumn and winter fabrics. However, due to the poor overall market performance so far this year, a wave of orders came in August, the traditional off-season, which surprised the textile people and gave them some small surprises. The overall market is still tepid. After all, it is the traditional off-season period, and the operating rate of weaving manufacturers is not high. The operating rates of various clusters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang remain fluctuating in the range of 50% to 70%. The market lacks orders and it is common for manufacturers to reduce operating hours.
What is worrying is how long this wave of heat can last. Most textile people are afraid of this Waves will fade away like a flash in the pan. This is mainly due to the intensification of overseas epidemics and the recent turmoil in the international situation, which will have a certain impact on future orders. Overcapacity is a cancer of the gray fabric market itself. If you want to completely eliminate it, you may need to undergo a “scratching and healing process.” Therefore, it will be impossible to solve it for a while, but if the peak season can be ushered in, it can still be effectively alleviated. </p
