Looking at the entire textile industry chain recently, all links have been tortured by the lack of various orders. The atmosphere of various production cuts and suspensions has spread among different factories. Even some textile traders in the market who have no inventory, factories, or workers’ salary pressure have begun to discuss plans for shift holidays. It seems that the entire textile industry will enter a holiday similar to the Spring Festival.
However, it can be said that this deserted market situation is not complete, and it is far from leaving all textile workers with no work to do. Especially in terms of dyeing factories, although they are the ones with the most news about holidays and production suspensions recently, most dyeing factories can stably maintain a certain amount of orders, and some even have more orders than before.
400,000 meters of warehousing per day, maintaining 60% of employee productivity
Being able to be most intuitive It reflects the order level of the dyeing factory, which is the daily amount of gray fabrics entering the warehouse. When this amount exceeds the amount that the dyeing factory can digest every day, then the dyeing factory must be busy and crowded; on the contrary, the orders must be scarce.
According to the person in charge of a dyeing factory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, their factory has more than 100 dyeing vats, and its daily processing capacity of gray fabrics is about 700,000 meters. However, since the beginning of the new year, there have been few days when the amount of gray fabrics entering their warehouse has exceeded 700,000 meters, especially in the past half month or so, which has been maintained at around 400,000 meters.
Although this quantity is not enough to meet the factory’s full production capacity, it is better than the factory expected. I originally thought that the daily purchase volume would gradually decrease every day, but it has been stable in recent times and there is no sign of a sharp decline. Because of this, more than half of the workers in the factory can still work normally.
There are not only dyeing factories on the market that can maintain normal production, but there are even dyeing factories whose orders exceed the market. According to reports, the recent purchase volume of a dyeing factory on the market has reached 1 million meters per day. In today’s printing and dyeing market, this kind of large warehouse entry has the feeling of “standing out from the crowd”.
Not only the performance of dyeing factories, but also of weaving companies can also show that the recent textile market is not as bad as imagined. Although all weaving mills have reported a lack of recent orders and inventory backlogs, their operating rates are generally above 50%, and many are at 100%. Various production suspensions and holiday plans have been repeatedly postponed. Gray fabrics are still being sold, and some varieties are even in large quantities.
The large order quantity comes from domestic Trade orders and dyeing fees are cheap
Domestic trade orders are strong
Although all textile traders reported that the number of orders has decreased , but this reduction appears more in foreign trade orders. Although domestic trade orders also dropped significantly at the beginning of the resumption of work, as the domestic epidemic was brought under control, various regions gradually relaxed travel restrictions, and clothing shopping and consumption gradually returned. Domestic trade orders began to gradually recover, and began to gradually spread to weaving, printing and dyeing.
According to the dyeing factory, most of the orders they are currently making are domestic trade orders, especially nylon fabrics, which have been in large quantities recently. A considerable part of these orders are for sun protection clothing, mainly because summer is approaching and this type of clothing is about to sell well, and some are for down jackets. This year’s spring clothing market has basically been missed, but the domestic trade market in the summer and autumn and winter can still be vigorously pursued.
Dyeing fees attract orders
In fact, in the current printing and dyeing market, not every Domestic dyeing factories have enough orders to maintain normal production, and there is even a trend of polarization. Of course, the reason for this trend is also very simple. It is basically due to the different prices of dyeing fees.
According to a trader, they recently made a 100,000-meter chiffon order. Under normal circumstances, the dyeing fee for this kind of fabric is about 2.3 yuan/meter. If the color is special and exceeds the cost, additional money will be required. In addition, because it is a rare foreign trade order at present, the price is very low, only 0.88 US dollars/meter. There is no profit in operating at the normal price.
So they have to find the cheapest dyeing factory. The dyeing fee of such small factories with easily negotiable prices can be as low as half of the original price, 1.1 yuan/ It can be processed in about 1 meter.
However, not every dyeing factory’s price can be negotiated, especially for large formal dyeing factories, the prices often have a bottom line. Because of this, it is difficult for them to obtain orders in the recent stage. Many large factory machine equipment
are already in a state of start-up and stoppage, and normal production It is no longer sustainable. In order to obtain orders and maintain production, those small and medium-sized dyeing factories often sacrifice part of their profits and reduce dyeing fees to receive orders.
From the current situation of the dyeing factory It seems that the textile market is not as bad as everyone imagined. The market has not developed into a worse state like the pneumonia epidemic. In particular, domestic trade orders have gradually�Su began to play a leading role in the market. However, because the current market is still in a state of “oversupply”, it is still common to “judge success or failure based on price.” Companies and factories with cheaper prices often have more orders, while other factories have relatively few orders.
