The overseas pneumonia epidemic is out of control. Tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 new cases every day have wiped out the confidence of various companies and consumers. Sales and consumption behavior in the global market seem to be frozen. The domestic textile industry, which relies heavily on foreign trade exports, is also experiencing an unprecedented “crisis”.

“Our company currently has no decent orders at all, and only has 10 small vats for proofing in the dyeing factory. Not only us, but also the recent orders from the printing factories we often make It’s no longer possible. A while ago, it took 8-10 days to do printing, but recently, as long as an order comes in, it can be done the next day.” said one trader.
If it was just a decrease in orders a while ago, then it has really entered a state of “no orders to do” in recent times. Recently, many dyeing factories have stated that “as long as there is an order, the price is negotiable.” Price reductions have been silently carried out in all aspects of the textile industry.
When you have nothing to do and you can’t sit still, sometimes you need to take the initiative to seek orders. According to a textile person, because their order quantity has been too small recently, they have taken the initiative to request orders from old customers. There are orders, but the price is really low. 210T black polyester taffeta costs 0.31 US dollars/meter, which is only about 2.6 yuan/meter after export tax rebate is converted into RMB. The price is fixed and there is no room for negotiation. Calculated, the profit is only two or three cents. If this black color needs to be paid more than the cost in the dyeing factory, there will basically be no profit at all.
Currently, regular fabric orders are scarce in the market every quarter. Even if they are available, customers will set a very low price for you. But if they don’t do it, the company will not be able to survive. Many textile companies can only take it on, and they may even have to fight for it. Are there no orders with high profits and large orders in the market? Yes, there are quite a few on the market!

What is at the forefront of the current textile industry is undoubtedly various anti-epidemic fabrics. One of these fabrics The fire has exceeded all weavers’ expectations.

According to our understanding, many overseas textile customers have temporarily given up purchasing conventional fabrics and turned to non-woven fabrics and other anti-epidemic fabrics. In the entire textile market, there are only orders for this type of fabric that are “outstanding”. The large order volume, good payment methods, and high profits exceed the traditional impression of textile people on fabric orders.
And in the entire textile market, there is a tendency to “swarm” and seize the epidemic prevention fabric market.
A follower in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets quit working after many years. He started running mask factories everywhere and switched to the epidemic prevention fabric business. Even a freight forwarder who has never come into contact with fabrics is asking everywhere where non-woven fabrics with a weight of 30 or 50g/㎡ can be found.
But our textile people still need to be rational and vigilant. After all, “every line is like a mountain”. Although they are all in the textile industry, they often make knitted and woven fabrics. It is difficult to fully understand the characteristics of non-woven fabrics. characteristic. In addition, the influx of various industries into it will inevitably lead to intensified competition and a situation where it is difficult to find a piece of clothing. It is also important to ensure that various certificates and certifications are complete and legal. Especially recently, the country’s requirements for the export of anti-epidemic supplies have increased and become more difficult. Therefore, we should not only see the popularity and profits of anti-epidemic fabrics, but also see the problems that may arise behind them to avoid blindly following up and leading to “riding the tiger and being unable to get off.” </p
