Recently, the boss of Youbu reported to the editor that the number of orders for imitation silk has begun to increase!
Perhaps another group of cloth bosses will protest at this time, asking why our products have not been touched?
So, is artificial silk really “reviving”? Or is it just an isolated phenomenon?
The cost of imitation silk orders has been reduced, and profits have increased
The person in charge of a company in Wujiang area that makes imitation silk said: “Our company mainly focuses on orders. In the first half of the year, the situation was not very good. Cash flow was also difficult. It was difficult to apply for local loans. For this reason, we went to Guangdong to apply for loans. In the second half of the year, the number of orders from customers increased. It has started to pick up. In addition, the market conditions have not been very good recently and many manufacturers are selling goods. We took the opportunity to buy at a low price and then dye and process it in our own dyeing factory. Therefore, our current cost is 0.5-0.5% lower than at the beginning of the year. 0.8 yuan/meter. The cost is reduced and the profit is increased.” Another company also revealed: “Recently, the sales of high-elastic imitation silk are pretty good. The performance of elastic fabrics is okay, although it is not as popular as it is. But because the seasonal demand is there, customers are slowly placing more orders.”

Ordersforimitationsilkareimproving,butmorebosseswhosellmarketgoodssaythattherecentsalesofimitationsilkhavebeenpoor..AfactoryownerwhomakesartificialsilkintheShengzeareacomplained:”Theinventoryinthefactoryisnowclosetotwomonths’worth,andthegoldnineandsilvertenseemtobeyellow.” At present, conventional products on the market are still in a state of oversupply. According to the data monitored by China Silk City Network, the weaving inventory in Shengze area is about 39-40 days. Although it has dropped from the previous inventory, it is still at a high level!
For weaving companies, it is indeed difficult to do physical business this year. The machines do not dare to stop, workers’ wages must still be paid, and the fabrics woven It is also used as inventory. The orders never come, and sometimes in order to withdraw funds, we have to sell goods at a low price. Although we are currently in the traditional peak season “Golden Nine”, the situation has improved slightly, but it is not obvious.
A market order manufacturer in Pingwang area said: “This year’s market can’t even take off in terms of sales. We are also trying to hold on. The peripheral manufacturers initially produced these products with lower thresholds. Products. Since this year, we have doubled and doubled the number of machines for production. Now the price has reached a historical level, but the cloth still cannot be sold. We will not choose to sell goods unless we have to.” Production capacity is increasing, but demand has decreased. , how can Boss Bu’s life be easy?
There is still a certain profit margin for order goods
But as the saying goes, difficulties are also opportunities, and there are still some Fabrics can stand out in difficult situations. “The new imitation acetate fabric developed by our company in the second half of the year has sold well. The main reason why customers like this fabric is that it is relatively novel and there are not many on the market. Recently, customers have placed orders for several kilometers, and more orders will be placed in the future. As people pay more attention to environmental protection, the prospects of this type of environmentally friendly fabrics are quite promising,” said a trader in Wujiang area.
In addition, T800, T400, King of Glory, recycled fabrics, etc., due to the higher requirements of these products, production and dyeing processing have certain requirements. Therefore, there is no large-scale production. As people’s environmental protection concepts gradually deepen and their requirements for fabrics become higher and higher, the demand for this type of fabrics is constantly increasing, especially in Europe and the United States, which have begun to purchase in large quantities.
Afterword
The textile market is changing rapidly, but demand is the decisive factor. Whether it is the popular T400, T800 or recycled fabrics,�It is because there is demand in the market and supply is less than demand that causes a boom. For conventional products, market demand still exists, but the market is saturated, and it is very difficult to cause popularity again.
Compared with market goods, the requirements for order goods are higher, and the order volume of customers is relatively stable, so there is still a certain profit margin. As for regular market goods, there are frequent sell-offs in the market, and basic manufacturers are already on the verge of losing money. However, it is not realistic to transform and upgrade all at once. Perhaps these bosses can only grasp with both hands now. While continuing to produce conventional products, we will develop high value-added and high-profit products. </p
