Since international oil prices have risen for five consecutive years and polyester filament has risen for three consecutive years, the downstream gray fabric market has also experienced some slight fluctuations.
1Some foreign trade orders have been issued
A few days ago, Spain, Italy, India and other countries have temporarily relaxed various restrictive measures and opened some enterprises, so some foreign trade orders have also begun to start. However, due to the seriousness of the epidemic abroad, the difficulty of resuming work is greater than that at home, and the speed of recovery is also much slower than at home. Therefore, there are not many orders transmitted to the domestic fabric market, and it will take some time.
Through market research, we learned that most of the foreign trade orders currently received by fabric companies come from Spain, Portugal, and Italy , Russia, Japan, South Korea and other countries. However, fabric manufacturers exporting to the United States, the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia and other places reported that orders are still stagnant and there has been no improvement. In general, some foreign trade orders have begun to be placed, and foreign trade is starting, which always brings great hope to the market.
A trading company said: “Recently, we have received orders from Portugal, Spain, and Japan in foreign trade, mainly for gabardine and conductive cloth. Gabardine is used for work clothes, and conductive cloth is used for protective clothing. , these two types of clothes can be said to be necessities under the epidemic, so orders are placed very quickly. Other clothing orders are indeed not very popular and still need a buffering process.”

2Domestic winter clothing fabric proofing has begun
The domestic market also received good news and made new progress. In terms of order taking, orders are being placed one after another, which can keep the company running. The surge in raw materials during the holidays has stimulated some traders to enter the market to replenish goods, and the market shipments are better than in the previous period. The sales of fabrics such as nylon silk, diamond Huayao, imitation acetic acid, and rayon Shumei silk increased, and manufacturers said that the orders on hand were significantly better than other products.
In addition to a certain improvement in substantive orders, early prototype development has also begun to increase. Unlike April, there were very few inquiries for prototypes and development, and the market was quiet. But now, sample development is also on the agenda, and fabric manufacturers say they have spent a lot of effort on development recently. Most of the orders for sample development are mainly winter fabrics, such as nylon, suede, velvet, imitation memory and other winter fabrics.
A domestic trader revealed: “In addition to making a few orders recently, customers have also placed a lot of samples, all of which are velvet fabrics, which were very popular last year. Pleated skirt. Although in the past, there was no guarantee that there would be an order at the end of the sample, but now having a sample is better than nothing. There is always hope in the sample.”
The clothing sales season is ahead of schedule
In previous years, most winter clothing for domestic sales began to be sampled and developed in July-August, and mass production was carried out in September-October. The peak period, even if it is brought forward, will start as early as June. It is only early May and the sampling of winter clothing has begun, which shows that the production of clothing fabrics this year has been advanced. On the one hand, due to lack of demand and shutdowns due to the epidemic in the first quarter, it has had an impact on the sales of spring clothing. It can be said that clothing retailers almost skip spring clothing and directly sell summer clothing. Nowadays, summer clothes are already selling like hotcakes, and autumn clothes are also in production. According to this rhythm, winter clothes have already started. Without a quarter of clothing sales, it is reasonable to produce seasonal clothing in advance.
Winter clothing pre-sale to boost demand
On the other hand, summer clothing has been on the market for some time and will soon be available. Come autumn clothes are on sale. At present, most of the execution orders in the hands of fabric merchants are replica orders and supplementary orders for the current season’s clothing, and the volume is not large. It will be very difficult for clothing manufacturers and fabric dealers to maintain operations only by relying on seasonal clothing. Therefore, in such a special market situation, in order to seek new orders, clothing factories have no choice but to attract consumers’ attention by releasing new winter products. In terms of e-commerce, pre-sale activities are often held, and the results have always been good. Starting to look for new fabrics early and producing new styles of clothing has become a way for garment factories to save themselves.
Postscript
This year has been in the off-season for a long time, but now the domestic and foreign trade markets are There is a certain degree of improvement. Perhaps this year’s market will subvert the traditional market situation in the past. It is possible that the orders lost in the first and second quarters will be made up in the third quarter. In addition, in the second half of the year, the Golden Week, Silver Ten, Double Eleven e-commerce shopping season, Christmas foreign trade season, etc. are all nodes of demand. No matter what the market conditions are, you still need to have confidence. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
