Recently, according to media reports, printing and dyeing factories in Keqiao, Shaoxing and other places have experienced sluggish business volume due to a lack of orders, and even reduced dyeing fees to ensure production to save themselves. However, the editor learned that the printing and dyeing market in Wujiang area is partially recovering, and some printing and dyeing factories have become busy. The printing and dyeing market has been flat for about a month. In recent days, it has finally fluctuated and shown signs of improvement.
The operating rate of printing and dyeing factories in Wujiang has rebounded
A local old-line printing and dyeing company that has been receiving market orders all year round Mainly, the number of positions has begun to increase recently, from the original 70% opening rate to 100%. A trader who cooperates with this dyeing factory said: “Currently, many tasks such as opening and shaping have to be done by oneself. Workers have no time to help, and queues have begun to form at every link.”
It is true that there are only a few printing and dyeing factories that have experienced “liquidation”, but most printing and dyeing factories generally show signs of improvement. A salesperson from a local printing and dyeing factory said: “There has indeed been an increase in orders recently. Originally, the dye vat could only be opened at 50-60% capacity, but now it can be opened at 80% capacity. However, the types of gray fabrics coming into the warehouse are quite diverse, and we mainly use four-sided bombardment. But recently the amount of bullets on all four sides is average, not very good.”
According to data monitoring from China Silk City Network, the current operating rate of dye vats in printing and dyeing factories in Wujiang area The overall level is around 65%. At the beginning of July, the operating rate of dye vats was only 55%. This shows that the printing and dyeing market has improved, and the number of dyeing orders has increased significantly. Due to the increase in order volume, the shipping speed has naturally been affected and slowed down, rising from the original 5-6 days to 7-8 days. In terms of each production process, it used to be that after entering the warehouse, you could directly operate according to the process flow until shipment, but now you need to stop at every link, resulting in queues.

Autumn and winter clothing begins to be distributed
Now It is the end of July, in the traditional off-season period, but the printing and dyeing market has suddenly improved. It is indeed a bit confusing to guess this market. First of all, looking at the current dyeing varieties, although they are relatively complex, they still focus on conventional varieties, such as polyester taffeta, nylon, taslan, high-elastic pongee, suede, etc. Although this type of product is very conventional and has no obvious seasonality, judging from the current node, it will be suitable for the production of autumn and winter clothing. Production of autumn clothing also starts in June and July every year, and some brands of clothing can launch new autumn clothing products by the end of August. Due to the impact of the epidemic at the beginning of this year, the entire production plan was postponed, so it is reasonable for this autumn’s clothing to lag behind.

The domestic market is improving, but foreign trade orders are stagnant
Judging from the order situation of traders, domestic sales orders are currently being placed one after another, and the recent increase in dyeing orders is mainly from domestic sales. The person in charge of a domestic trading company revealed that orders have been coming in one after another recently. Although the quantity is not large, just a few kilometers, the production of one order has just started, and the next order has come, so it has not stopped and every day is full and busy.
According to dyeing factory salesmen, the domestic sales market has been improving recently, while foreign trade has stagnated and there are few orders. On the one hand, the foreign epidemic situation is still not under control, which has a greater impact on the textile industry, and the recovery of orders is not as good as expected. On the other hand, due to the impact of the long-term wave of sailing suspensions, abnormal congestion has been caused in ports in many countries around the world, and the risk of fabric exports has further increased, which has had an impact on international trade.
The operating rate of printing and dyeing plants has reached the level of the same period last year
While the printing and dyeing market is improving, what is more concerning is whether this is a signal that the market will improve in the second half of the year? First of all, the editor believes that it is indeed a signal sent by the market. Judging from the dye vat operating rate, the current level of 65% is a high level for 2020. In the traditional off-season period, it is a bit surprising that the opening rate can reach this level.
In addition, referring to the startup rate data of the same period last year, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the current startup rate is close to the level of the same period last year. Although the textile market in 2019 has begun to decline, compared with 2020, the market in 2019 is optimistic. The current operating rate of printing and dyeing plants has caught up with the same period last year, indicating that the market is favorable. Data show that since the end of July last year, the operating rate of printing and dyeing factories has skyrocketed to the end of October. Compared with the first half of the year, the traditional off-season this year is not weak, and there is naturally hope for the market in the second half of the year.
As for the poor printing and dyeing factory market in some regions mentioned at the beginning of the article, the editor believes that the main reason is that the two regions have different varieties of gray cloth dyeing and processing. , the unit quantity is also different, so the performance is different in the printing and dyeing factory. The size of the printing and dyeing factories in the two regions is also different. The printing and dyeing factories in Shaoxing are not only large in number, but most of them are medium and large in size. Naturally, it is difficult to “eat enough” if “there are too many monks but too little gruel”. In the Wujiang area, the printing and dyeing factories are not large in size, and the scale of the manufacturers are all small and medium-sized. Therefore, if orders are placed in a centralized manner, it will be a disadvantage in the printing and dyeing market.Now obvious.
