Currently, the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is still ongoing, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the textile industry chain are gradually resuming production in an orderly manner. The traditional peak season of “gold, three, silver and four” soon ushered in. But recently, many trading bosses are happy or sad. All this comes from the instability of the market.
The printing and dyeing market has insufficient production capacity and busy production
Currently, the only printing and dyeing companies that are still resuming production are currently What has attracted much attention is directly related to the issue of when and whether fabric manufacturers can deliver goods on time. So what is the situation in the printing and dyeing market?
Now the printing and dyeing market has fully resumed work, and all large-scale goods have begun production. In terms of the operating rate of dye vats, recovery is also accelerating. Generally, the operating rate is around 50%, with some areas being as high as 70%. The overall operating rate is not high, and the incomplete return of workers has become one of the main reasons affecting the progress of enterprises in resuming production.
The printing and dyeing factories began to be busy. First, due to the reduction in production capacity, the production speed was slow, and secondly, because of the large number of orders. The printing and dyeing market has seen another wave of good prices last year. The current delivery time is about 10 days, and the delivery time of some varieties with complicated dyeing processes is more than 15 days. In terms of products, the main products are conventional varieties, such as polyester taffeta, pongee, imitation silk, etc., among which imitation silk is more prominent.
Dye prices have soared, and dyeing fees lack motivation to increase
While the printing and dyeing market is busy rushing out goods At this time, news of price increases broke out in the downstream dye market. According to statistics, last week the price of dispersed black ECT 300% was 30,000 yuan/ton, an increase of 3.5%, and the price of active black WNN 200% was 23,500 yuan/ton, an increase of 4.4%. Subsequently, Guangdong printing and dyeing companies issued the “Notice on Dyeing Price Adjustment”; some printing and dyeing companies in Zhejiang also responded that the market quotation of 60# Cuilan has soared, and will adjust the price of special colors.
As of now, no printing and dyeing factory in Wujiang has raised dyeing fees. The editor believes that despite the surge in dye prices, printing and dyeing companies still lack the motivation to increase dyeing fees, and it is more likely to maintain stable operations in the short term.
The current main task of printing and dyeing enterprises is to restore production capacity and arrange for employees who have not returned to Suzhou to return to work as soon as possible. There are many foreign employees in printing and dyeing enterprises, and the turnover of positions is very high every year. Now under the influence of the epidemic, the situation of job vacancies is particularly serious. Therefore, the managers of printing and dyeing enterprises are busy with employee recruitment and production capacity.
Although printing and dyeing companies are generally busy at present, compared with the previous year in 2018, it is still in a normal state. In short, it is not very popular, and it is still a little bit hot. If the dyeing fee is increased at this time, it is likely to cause fabric manufacturers to transfer orders to printing and dyeing factories with lower dyeing fees, thereby losing customers, and the loss outweighs the gain. Therefore, printing and dyeing companies will not easily increase dyeing fees. In order to retain customers, they must absorb the pain of increased dye costs.
The market situation has not picked up, and the “Golden Three” may be late!
So far, the production capacity of printing and dyeing enterprises has not been fully restored. According to several persons in charge in Wujiang area, although the dyeing factories are very busy, most of the products currently being produced are leftovers from years ago. orders, a small number of new production orders. Whether the “Golden Three” can prosper, many market participants speculate that it is unlikely.
A person in charge of a fabric company said: “Although there are more orders on hand now, they are all from years ago and not the current orders, so we cannot say how good the market is. Let alone the peak season. Compared with the peak seasons in previous years, it is still far behind!” In other words, although the market has entered the traditional peak season stage, the peak season has not really arrived.
The editor also discovered that when a wave of market conditions hit at the end of last year, the delivery time of the printing and dyeing factory was about 10 days. This was under normal production capacity. The current production capacity is only 50%, and the delivery time is also 10 days. So can it be said that the market today is not even as good as at the end of last year? Due to the delay in the start of construction due to the impact of the epidemic, the pace of the entire market has slowed down, so the “Golden Three” may be late.
