The downturn in the economic environment this year has made more and more textile workers complain that business is getting harder and harder, operating expenses are rising, and sales are increasing more and more. It’s difficult, and the content of competition continues to be refined… Most textile companies can’t help but sigh: It’s really difficult to make textiles!
Faced with this year’s difficult industry background, many textile companies are looking for a way out. We spend a lot of time researching and developing new products in order to gain a foothold in a highly competitive industry. Textile finishing technology plays an important role in developing some fabrics with special functions and giving fabrics special functions and wearing effects. Therefore, finishing technology has become an important process for “icing on the cake” of fabrics.
The finishing plant is ushering in the peak season
Although the trader orders during the peak season this year are not It’s very prosperous, but the overall market has picked up since October. As the weather gets colder, the orders currently issued by clothing factories are mainly winter clothing, and winter clothing is inseparable from finishing processing. Therefore, finishing processing plants have also been quite busy recently, forming a wave of good sales. Quotes. The editor learned that finishing and processing plants have now started normal production, and the order quantities are not small. Coating plants, laminating plants, printing plants and other factories are all busy.
Jiesheng Textile Finishing recently developed a phantom film technology, which not only makes the fabric anti-velvet, moisture-absorbent and sweat-wicking, but also gives the fabric a picture scroll. similar color effects. This technology has aroused great repercussions in the market, especially during the hot sales season of down jacket fabrics, and colorful films are even more popular. Mr. Fan from Jiesheng revealed that the factory is currently in the peak production season, and phantom film and PU hot stamping are currently the hottest processes. Incoming goods need to wait 3-7 days before they can be shipped.
A director of a calendering coating factory also revealed that recently many orders have been placed in the market, and the calendering volume is large and it is quite busy. In the past, it could be done as long as the goods came in, but now it has to wait for the next one. About 1 day. The amount of coating has also increased. In the past, the machine was started in the afternoon, but now it is started at 9 o’clock.
Finishing has become a new development direction
In recent years, the functional fabric industry has undoubtedly become a new trend in the textile industry The growth points are not only the professional and established outdoor brands, but also a large number of leisure sports brands are constantly launching their own functional products. While the functional clothing industry is developing in full swing, a large number of large or small companies have emerged in the functional finishing industry.
With the changes in consumer concepts, the pattern of clothing fabrics is no longer the same. It does not mean that sticking a film or coating on the fabric can attract consumers. By. Some fabric companies with backward technology and insufficient R&D capabilities still have insufficient orders and their products are unattractive.
The person in charge of a trading company mainly engaged in nylon spinning revealed: “Nowadays, customers are looking for new and exotic fabrics, and people have become very picky when buying clothes. The previous coatings, films, and laminations are far behind. It’s not enough, we must have newer finishing technology to attract customers.”
Actually, except In addition to customers’ new requirements for fabrics, cloth bosses are also happy to develop fabrics in the direction of finishing. On the one hand, the slowdown in textile economic growth has radiated to enterprises, which have to bear the pressure of manufacturers and have increasingly narrow profit margins. The profit of single-dyed fabrics has been reduced to less than 10%, or even lower. Therefore, cloth bosses want to increase the added value of fabrics through finishing processing in order to increase profits. On the other hand, due to the limited variety of source fibers of fabrics, there is limited space to develop new fabrics. Therefore, cloth bosses have to work hard on post-finishing to develop new products that not only meet the functionality sought by consumers, but also satisfy new and unique characteristics.
Postscript
Due to the constraints of textile production capacity, orders have shrunk sharply. As a finishing company that is involved in upstream and downstream weaving, it has actually fallen into an embarrassing situation of pressure from both sides. Therefore, finishing companies and fabric manufacturers must take the path of professional brands in the future.
After several years of development, our domestic fabric suppliers and finishing companies can be said to have accumulated a certain amount of customer resources and technical resources. The next thing to do is to establish a good business here. On the basis of improving its own influence, it takes advantage of the trend to establish finishing technologies and fabrics recognized in the industry.
