Recently, T400 fabric has become a mainstream product in the textile market, among which “Honor of Kings” is particularly popular. There is another fabric that is as popular in the market as T400. It is the newly developed T800 fabric this year.
T800 is a new type of elastic fabric woven from high elastic fiber. It is mainly improved on the basis of T400. Its elasticity is better than T400, and the price of gray fabric is 4-5 yuan lower than T400. / meter, it was easier to accept, so it became famous for a while. Many weaving factories that originally produced T400 gray fabrics began to modify their machines to produce T800 in an attempt to seize the wave of hot sales.
According to a weaving factory that produces T800: “Recently, it has been obvious that the sales of T800 have improved. There are more customers taking the goods, and the quantity is also larger. When it was slow before, one order could cost up to several thousand meters. , now a single order is at least 30,000 to 40,000 meters. T800 itself is a new product this year. The company mainly promotes it and continues to produce old products, which cannot keep up with the times.” Recently, the overall dyeing quantity of printing and dyeing plants has been on an upward trend. In addition to conventional varieties of polyester towers, In addition to the increase in the dyeing of gray fabrics such as khaki, pongee and nylon, the number of dyeing of elastic fabrics is the icing on the cake for dyeing factories. A salesperson from a dyeing factory that specializes in elastic fabrics said, “There has been a lot of work on elastic fabrics recently, mainly T800. There has been a lot of work recently, and the delivery time is 5-7 days, which is 3 days longer than before.”
T800 is a fabric that emerged this year. The dyeing of elastic products is more difficult than other products, and the dyeing of this newly developed fabric is a test for dyeing factories. Therefore, there are currently not many dyeing factories with T800 mature dyeing technology in Shengze area. Those printing and dyeing factories that follow the old tradition and only dye conventional fabrics are no longer popular. At present, they only have enough for food and clothing. Some factories even have “not enough to eat”. However, in dyeing factories that can dye stretch fabrics such as T400 and T800, gray fabrics are piled up in the aisles, causing a “full warehouse” phenomenon. This is the reason why dyeing factories are currently polarized.
Both the weaving end and the printing and dyeing end reflect the popularity of T800. With so many fabrics, why does T800 stand out?
T800 has stronger functions
According to the editor’s visit and research, although T800 is an improved version of T400, T800 is not completely Replaces T400 because T400 fabric feels more delicate and soft than T800. Both fabrics have their own advantages and disadvantages, and different garments have different demands for fabrics, so both have created a craze in the market. As usual, clothing production in the second half of the year will start at the end of August or early September, and autumn and winter fabrics are mainly windbreakers, jackets, down jackets, and cotton clothes, and T800 has become the best choice fabric. Therefore, the demand for T800 has increased in the near future.
New fabrics have more selling points
With the rapid development of the times, clothing consumption The psychology of consumers has also changed. When buying clothes, they not only pursue fashionable and novel styles, but also pursue novel and functional fabrics. T800 has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make windbreakers, jackets, and sportswear, and it is popular in the clothing industry. Clothes made of conventional fabrics, even if they are novel and fashionable, are not as attractive as clothes made of new fabrics.
The deep thinking behind the popularity of a certain fabric: Are companies sinking deeper and deeper into the surplus textile industry, or are they gradually getting out of trouble?
From the hot incident of T800 fabric, it is worth pondering how to make our products popular. The elimination of water-jet looms and overcapacity in the gray fabric market remind us that market competition is becoming increasingly cruel. The previous production model hindered the development of the textile industry and even hindered the development of enterprises.
Polyester taffeta, pongee, nylon and other conventional products that have been made for decades can be produced with the most common water-jet loom. The threshold is very low. This is also a gray fabric. One of the important reasons for overcapacity. Enterprises’ cost competition is relatively on the same starting line, and price competition has become a thing of the past. Nowadays, with the improvement of market standards, it can be said that the economic path of developing low-end industries and polluting enterprises has come to an end.
Under the great waves, the development pattern of the textile industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is becoming increasingly clear, and differentiated products are becoming the mainstream of the textile market . For example, recycled fabrics, which have become popular since last year, and polyester recycled fabrics are relatively mature and have an increasingly wider range of applications. At the same time, nylon recycled fabrics also came out. According to the editor’s understanding, many companies are currently developing nylon recycled fabrics, but they are still in the process of research and development and improvement. Acetate fabrics, metal conductive yarn fabrics, double-layer direct-filled velvet, etc. are all fabrics that have emerged in recent years. There are not many weaving manufacturers producing them. If customers have higher requirements, they need to be ordered and weaved, and it is impossible to have them in stock. “Things are rare but valuable”, and the same is true in the textile market. Only by being a dominant player and high-end custom weaving can a company gain a firm foothold in the textile market that is going through painful transformation.
Afterword
At present, the textile industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has shown three typical characteristics: “strategic integration, structural adjustment, and driven transformation.” With industrial transformation as the background and overcapacity as the foundation, differentiated and high-tech products will be king in the future. It is hoped that weaving enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can reverse their extensiveLong-term thinking, breaking the rules, and setting the company on a new bright path. </p
