Masks have become a necessity in daily life and must be replaced at least once a day. The demand for them can be said to be very large. During the factory shutdown, “a mask is hard to find.” As factories gradually reopen and production capacity resumes, the output of masks is stable, and the supply is also stable, and they can be purchased in major pharmacies.
This is the case in the textile market. Once supply exceeds demand, any cloth becomes a hot commodity. After supply and demand were balanced, the market performance of this variety returned to calm. Once supply exceeds demand, sales in the market will stagnate, and inventories of gray fabric companies will be high.
Some gray fabrics are selling well
At present, water-jet and air-jet fabrics are in the traditional peak season in the first half of the year, and these fabrics are in Go strong. Recently, the sales of imitation silk and pongee have gradually heated up, and the market has been a little busy.
Fabrics such as imitation silk are highly seasonal, and the first half of the year itself is the best-selling season for imitation silk. As early as the end of last year, imitation silk emerged and ushered in a wave of market trends. Now due to the postponement of the start of construction, there is a backlog of orders before the year, and new orders will come after the year, resulting in a hot market.
Chun Yafang began to gradually heat up after the new year, among which 300T gray fabrics are more prominent. As a very conventional fabric, pongee has a great demand all year round. With the deepening of the traditional peak season, the demand for pongee has also increased. The owner of a pongee gray fabric company said that pongee goods have been doing well recently, with many large orders, amounting to hundreds of thousands of meters.
The operating rate of looms is insufficient, and gray fabric inventory remains high
The sales of other varieties are also acceptable and have an upward trend, but they are not popular enough, but they are just better than the end of last year. In addition, compared with previous peak seasons, it is also far different. For high inventories, the reduction is not much. At present, according to the data monitoring of China Silk City Network, the inventory of water-jet and air-jet gray fabrics in Shengze area is 38-39 days, 1-2 days less than the end of last year.
From the changes in inventory, we can also know that although the current gray fabric market has an active transaction atmosphere, demand has never kept up with the speed of supply. , the problem of overcapacity remains as immovable as a mountain. At present, weaving companies are still in the stage of restoring production capacity. According to data monitoring from China Silk City Network, the operating rate of water-jet and air-jet looms in Shengze is about 70%, which is only 10-20% lower than the end of last year. Production capacity has not been fully restored, and while gray fabric sales are heating up, gray fabric inventory remains high. This requires us to be vigilant. The real peak season has not yet come.
Even, the editor has doubts, will he come? The supply of fabrics has always been in excess. Even if production is suspended for a month in the early stage, there is still enough inventory. The demand for clothing has not changed much in recent years and is showing a downward trend, so it is difficult for the fabric market to usher in the peak season. According to survey feedback, most of the orders that companies currently execute are left over from years ago, and only a few orders will be received after the year.
END
Substantial demand issues seem to have not changed. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, residents’ spending power on clothing It will also have a certain impact. Whether this peak season can prosper depends on the sales of clothing.
