When talking about dyeing factories, many textile printing and dyeing colleagues immediately think of the booming business scenes of dyeing factories in the past two years: warehouse explosions and rejection of blanks… However, the printing and dyeing market in 2019 has been in a state of “not having enough to eat” However, recently some dyeing factories have once again seen a “prosperous scene” of people queuing up to wait for goods. Is the business of dyeing factories really that booming?
▲In February 2018, some dyeing factories issued a ban on rejecting white goods Blank Announcement
▲2019 In June, the empty blank warehouse of a dyeing factory
▲Recently, a dyeing factory in Wujiang is full of gray fabrics waiting to be dyed
Three pictures, Three points in time, different moods!
Mr. Ji, the workshop director of a dyeing factory, lamented: At the worst time this year, half of the dye vats were empty. At other times, the open vats were basically maintained at 70-80%. The rate has recently started to be fully opened due to the improvement in market goods, but compared with previous years when market goods were sold out and orders were queued up in a hurry, it is still far behind!
The market has experienced a “cooling”, and the big orders from dyeing factories have disappeared!
Since the second quarter of this year, the fabric market has frequently seen “cooling” signals such as falling product prices, declining transactions, and shrinking production orders quarter-on-quarter. Boss Chen, who has been selling polyester taffeta and pongee fabrics in the market for more than ten years, said that he originally bought 20 indicators in the first half of the year and planned to increase the number of machines in the factory from 30 to 50. However, in September, he had All the machines have been sold and we are no longer planning to engage in production. “We will definitely lose money this year, but there is nothing we can do. We can’t sell the gray fabrics, there is a lot more inventory, and workers’ wages keep rising. This is the only way.” Mr. Chen is helpless and helpless about this!
From weaving to printing and dyeing, the entire industry chain is immersed in unsatisfactory market conditions. The fabric market has always been in a situation of “not prosperous in the peak season and very weak in the off-season”, resulting in a strong The printing and dyeing process is also lackluster. “There has been little business this year, and orders have been relatively stable, but market goods are really scarce. At times, market goods can be delivered within 3 days. At this time in previous years, the volume of nylon silk and imitation memory was very large. , several million meters is normal, but this year the volume is very small.” Xiao Huang, a salesperson at another dyeing factory, said.
Indeed, the fabric market for the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” this year has not appeared, and market transactions have been tepid. In the face of the economic environment at home and abroad that has not yet calmed down and the oversupply of conventional products Under the drag of , the printing and dyeing market has no choice but to “cool down” along with the fabric market!
The market is unevenly hot and cold, and the dyeing factory “symbolizes “Sex” issued a price increase notice!
Of course, “clothing” in “food, clothing, housing and transportation” is at the first place. We have always said that the textile industry “depends on the weather” and there is a certain truth. As the temperature drops, the fabric market also ushered in a wave of market conditions, and dyeing factories also showed a recovery trend. Since October, many dyeing factories have said that the incoming market goods have begun to increase, and the factories have also seen piles of gray cloth, almost bursting out of warehouses. A small number of dyeing factories have also issued measures to “increase prices and cancel discounts.”
Although compared with previous years, the dyeing fee has risen by a few cents. Compared with the scene, today’s price increase can be said to be “unaffordable”, but at least it shows that the recent business of the dyeing factory that issued the notice is really “remarkable”. Manager Niu of a dyeing factory in Wujiang area that mainly specializes in T400 and suede dyeing said that the recent market situation is better than that in September. There are still a lot of orders on hand, mainly market goods, among which there are particularly many orders for T400 and suede. We also started to measure up, and more than 90% of the products we are making are these two types of products. Xiao Cai, a salesperson at another dyeing factory that makes hemp and suede, also said that the factory has recently begun to have more market goods. It used to be shipped within 3 days, but now it takes 4-5 days to ship, and there is still a queue. “The T400 work in the factory has increased significantly recently, and orders for imitation memory have dropped a lot this year,” Xiao Cai said.
After investigation, most dyeing factories have seen an increase in market orders, mainly for elastic fabrics such as T400 and T800. Other conventional fabrics have improved to a certain extent, but the intensity is average. The person in charge of a dyeing factory with 30 dyeing vats said: “Our factory mainly produces suede. The recent orders in the factory are about the same as in September. There are no particularly good-selling products, and the sales have been tepid!”.
The market is “unevenly hot and cold”, which makes it difficult for dyeing prices to rise across the board this year. Mr. Zheng, who runs a dyeing factory in Northeast China, said, “Currently we don’t have much money to spend on dyeing.Change, the overall business is not good this year, it is impossible to rise! “. Generally speaking, the rise and fall of dyeing fees in dyeing factories are still affected by environmental protection, dye price increases, market conditions and other factors. In the first half of this year, due to the impact of the Xiangshui explosion, dyeing fees rose one wave, and dyeing costs increased during other periods. It is difficult for factories to have the confidence to increase prices. After all, in a market with a limited customer base, orders cannot satisfy every dyeing factory, let alone the peak textile season.
Dyeing factories that are “hungry” and “cannot afford” the peak season, the market may “cool down”!
At present, many textile bosses will attribute the recent improvement in the market to the “Double Eleven” e-commerce quarter orders and the positive signals from Sino-US trade. However, most market participants still doubt the textile market conditions in November and December. More anxious. Mr. Wang, the owner of a warp knitting company in Shengze area that specializes in suede, said: “The overall order volume has decreased this year, and the market is expected to be like this and there will be no big improvement. “Qian Zong, another owner of 150 water-jet looms, said that orders will last until around December at most, and January will mainly focus on collecting payment.
For dyeing factories, The recent increase in the amount of market goods entering warehouses has boosted the market atmosphere, but the current market situation has shown a “weakness”. The speed of market goods entering warehouses has begun to slow down, and the delivery time of many dyeing factories has recovered from about 10 days to 7 days in the previous period. All over the world, the market prices of filament yarns such as polyester taffeta and nylon fabrics have dropped. “It is estimated that after this wave of market prices passes, the dye vats will be much empty again, and this year’s market will end like this!” “Mr. Ji said. “Many people say that this year may be a warm winter, and it is estimated that the fabric of cold-proof clothing will be difficult to turn over! “Xiao Huang said.
Many industry experts pointed out that the current fabric market is affected by overcapacity, Sino-US trade, etc., and the market lacks demand stimulation. In addition, the market products are homogeneous. The phenomenon is serious. Some small and medium-sized fabric companies lack the spirit of innovation and imitate the same type of products, resulting in less product differentiation in the entire industry. “Earlier, the market was in short supply due to the elimination of backward production capacity. However, this year, production capacity has been moved overseas and gray fabric suppliers have increased explosively, resulting in As the prices of fabric companies have increased frequently, especially for conventional chemical fiber fabrics, customers have frequently suppressed them on the pretext of large supply of goods in the market. “The relevant person in charge of a woven fabric enterprise in Wujiang area said, “The consequence of the price war is to make promotions the norm, which will inevitably weaken the effect of entering the peak season. ”
