Since February, everyone has been paying attention to the trends of the new coronavirus. As textile people, in addition to caring about national affairs, we are also always paying attention to when we can resume work and production.
Dyeing factories and weaving factories in Wujiang area are starting to operate one after another
It is understood that some dyeing factories in Wujiang area are already operating normally Work has started, and some enterprises integrating industry and trade will also start work on the 15th and 16th!
There are also some companies that have not yet resumed work due to various reasons, but salespeople have also Not idle, I started working online and taking orders.
The epidemic affects domestic demand and hits foreign trade
It can be seen that once work resumes , receiving orders has become the most important thing for textile companies. Driven by seasonal demand, March and April should be the order-taking season for textile companies, which is the most profitable time in the first half of the year. However, since last year, due to the dual impact of the shrinking demand for end orders and the expansion of gray fabric production capacity, the market for gray fabrics and fabrics has been tepid, and the placement of new orders in the market has not been as expected. This year, the situation is expected to be even less optimistic due to the raging coronavirus. It’s no wonder that salespeople have begun to take precautions and advertised that buying fabrics will give masks as a gift.
According to statistics from the China Silk City Network, the inventory of weaving companies last year was about 40 days, and the inventory was at a high level. Some companies said: “If the epidemic continues to be serious, the market is expected to be depressed for a long time, inventory will become the main burden for companies, financial risks will also increase, domestic demand will be sluggish, and foreign trade will also be hit. Production capacity will slowly increase, but demand will not is decreasing, the life of textile enterprises will be even more difficult in the future.”
Synthetic silk may usher in spring
Of course, under the influence of sluggish demand, not all products have reached a “dead end”. Judging from the survey a year ago, there is one product that performs very well, and that is simulated silk. Most companies report that simulated silk fabrics are very The sales are good, and the boss of Youbu said that he has already received orders in April!
From the traditional market point of view, generally after the Spring Festival, imitation silk fabrics will stand on the hot-selling stage and rank on the best-selling list. This wave of market conditions will generally last until the end of May. Furthermore, in recent years, designers of major clothing brands have placed higher and higher demands on clothing. With its unique properties, imitation silk fabrics are comparable to real silk in terms of appearance, health and comfort, and can also achieve functionality and safety. And environmentally friendly, it can look natural and be better than nature. Therefore, from chiffon to muslin to organza, every silk-like fabric has a certain demand in the market. An imitation silk company in the Shengze area said: “Now imitation silk has become a hot-selling fabric all year round. We receive orders every month. It can be used as dresses, chiffon shirts, etc. in summer, and can also be worn under coats in winter. As an inner wear, it is loved by many beauty lovers. I believe this product will not be too bad in 2020. “
Although imitation silk has plummeted in the first half of 2019, with prices, sales, and profits shrinking, manufacturers’ inventories are getting higher and higher. Even dyeing factories have dismantled all steam cylinders used for chiffon production and instead added other types. Dyeing vat. But in the second half of the year, hundreds of thousands of meters of imitation silk orders once again rushed to dyeing factories. This also proves that imitation silk fabrics have not been completely replaced by mid-to-high-end fabrics, and it still occupies a very important market share! At the same time, due to the influence of warm winter, the sales time of spring and summer clothing has been extended, and the time for imitation silk to become popular will also be extended. Now many clothing stores have begun to sell spring clothing. I believe that when the epidemic is over, you can put on beautiful clothes and go out to “show your talents”!
Afterword
As the new coronavirus is gradually brought under control, companies will gradually resume work and workers will be in place to start normal work. Life. None of us can say for sure how the market will go in 2020. It may be difficult to predict. Most cloth bosses still lack confidence in the market. Factors such as poor terminal demand, overcapacity and the epidemic are all hindering the market from going well. . But as the saying goes, “Some people drink porridge, some eat meat.” Some people keep taking orders, while some people just ignore them. It all depends on the company itself. Only by grasping the needs of consumers and increasing the value of fabrics can they be successful.��Have a place on the field�
