“The recent order volume has been much lower than it was some time ago. The quantity of gray cloth entering the warehouse has increased from 1 million meters per day to 400,000 meters per day now. It has never been done in time and the delivery date cannot be quoted. Now it is not enough to do some work. Machinery and equipment stopped production, and within a month, the market reversed.” A person in charge of a dyeing factory said.
If you want to ask about the recent textile market situation, it is difficult to get a definite answer in the market. I thought that with the domestic pneumonia epidemic under control, the entire market would slowly recover. However, I did not expect that many foreign countries and cities did not seize the time we bought to “fight the epidemic”, and the epidemic situation in various countries took a turn for the worse. Foreign trade orders from the European and American markets were the first to be affected, and were either reduced or cancelled.
If a factory has a booming order base under this market situation, it will definitely be an outlier. However, there are indeed factories on the market that require queues, or even extra money to expedite orders.
10 days of pressing, expedited 0.2 Yuan/meter
“There has been a lot of work in the factory recently, gray fabrics are piled everywhere, and many roads in the factory are occupied. Moreover, the production process is very crowded, and production cards are basically required. It takes 10 days to be transferred to the production workshop. If there are customers who can’t wait, they can also pay 0.2 yuan/meter for expedited processing, so that the card can be taken immediately.” A salesperson from a dyeing factory said helplessly. Normally, as long as the order quantity in hand is large enough, it is okay to bargain with the dyeing factory, but now at this point, the dyeing factory basically refuses to give in.
Coincidentally, another printing factory has the same situation. Currently, all inbound orders need to wait 10 days before production can be arranged. And paying for expedited services may not necessarily bring good results, because if most customers adopt expedited services, it will be difficult to highlight a certain company.
I thought that with the raging pneumonia epidemic, reduced orders, and rampant off-season, printing and dyeing factories should be in a “dismal situation”, but there are still some printing and dyeing factories with hot orders. What is the reason that makes this kind of dyeing factory orders stand out from the crowd?
The dyeing fee is cheap and the attraction is huge
The orders placed by certain printing and dyeing companies dominate the market not entirely because of their perfect craftsmanship and perfect quality, but because they are inseparable from their dyeing prices.
According to a trader, the dyeing factory they are currently dealing with is very crowded with orders, and they have paid an expedited fee of 0.2 yuan/meter in order to meet the delivery date. The reason why they would rather spend extra money than choose other dyeing factories with more relaxed production is because the dyeing price of this factory is really cheap compared with surrounding areas.
The largest order they are currently making is 50*75 glossy satin. The current dyeing fee for this fabric is basically 1.5 yuan/meter, but this dyeing factory currently only has The price is about 1.1 yuan/meter. Even if you pay to expedite the delivery, the price is still advantageous. Other fabric varieties are also similar. Many traders who choose this dyeing factory also come here for the price. After all, if you save an extra cent on dyeing fees, your profits will increase by 0.1 yuan/meter.
Compress costs and compete at low prices
The textile market is not going well in 2019, and various fabrics have been sold at low prices and clearance sales on the market. news. However, this year’s market conditions are definitely not as good as last year’s. Both domestic and foreign trade have experienced a sharp decline due to the epidemic. Market orders are limited, but fabric suppliers, printing and dyeing factories, and weaving factories everywhere are eagerly staring at the increasingly smaller cakes.
How to gain a place in the shrinking fabric market, the first thing that various manufacturers and companies may think of is to seize market share by lowering prices. Nowadays, traders appear in the market and choose printing and dyeing factories with crowded orders but cheap prices. They are trying every means to reduce costs in order to lower selling prices and enhance competitiveness.
But once the market enters a state of low-price competition, it will inevitably dampen the enthusiasm of some R&D and innovative companies. And this cost compression will definitely be transferred from the printing and dyeing level to the upstream weaving, downstream finishing and other links. In the end, the fabric will be chosen with low price, and the processing will be chosen with simple technology. Of course, it is difficult to determine whether the quality can be guaranteed.
The current printing and dyeing market does have a backlog of orders from some factories. , it was more crowded than usual, and even operations such as expedited payment, which only occur during peak seasons, began to become common. But this situation may not be a good thing, because they are all interested in dyeing money.It is appropriate to ask whether the market will enter a state of blindly compressing costs, lowering selling prices, and competing at low prices due to the scarcity of various orders. Now it seems to be a high probability event, but the total number of orders in the market remains unchanged, and all textile workers may be injured in the end. </p
