The Spring Festival holiday has ended, and everyone has officially entered work mode! It has been a week since the start of work, and the market is slowly returning to normal. For textile workers, what they are most concerned about right now is the situation in the weaving market and the printing and dyeing market.
The market has basically returned to normal, and companies are receiving orders well after the Spring Festival.
After the Spring Festival, the operating rates of major manufacturers are gradually recovering. The operating rate of some manufacturers has returned to 70-80%, but there are still gaps in some positions. Most companies said that they received good orders after the Spring Festival. Manager Lu of Wujiang Yunjie Textile Co., Ltd. said that the current orders on hand can last until the end of March, and most of them are wide-width home textile fabrics. Manager Wen of Suzhou Mipin Textile Co., Ltd. revealed to the author that the order-taking situation is good, and there are many orders for imitation silk, which can be completed by the end of March. Mr. Liu from Wujiang Hengxiu Weaving Co., Ltd. also said that there are always orders, mainly T400, broken card, and polyester taffeta.
Some companies also said that they have not received orders after the Spring Festival. At present, they are mainly It is to complete the list left over from years ago. “I haven’t received any orders after the holiday. The orders on hand can probably be made until the end of the month. They are basically made on-site, mainly for outdoor fabrics.” Zhang Shuhua from Suzhou Zejun Textile Co., Ltd. said that he has also not received new orders yet. Another order is from Wujiang Tanqiu Yuanfeng Textile Factory. Mr. Qian of the company also said that it is mainly based on orders from the year before, and new orders have not yet been placed, mainly for conventional products such as high velvet and baby velvet.
Generally speaking, the situation of companies receiving orders after the holiday is relatively good. The market has only been back to work for a week, and some companies have received orders. Enterprises that have not yet received new orders do not need to worry. After all, the market is not completely normal yet. Complete the orders on hand first before making any plans.
The enthusiasm for buying raw materials is not high enough, and most of them adopt the strategy of buying and using at will.
According to usual practice, the market will open after the Spring Festival , there will be a wave of raw material purchase operations in weaving factories. How will the situation be this year?
“Nowadays, raw materials are basically bought and used. The goods prepared last year have not been fully digested, and we do not plan to prepare raw materials in the near future.” Suzhou Cujinge Textile Import and Export Co., Ltd. Mr. Chen of the company said that Mr. Zou of Shanghai Maini Textile also adopts the buy-and-use strategy. “Now we basically don’t hoard raw materials, we just buy as much as we can.”
According to the author’s investigation, some manufacturers have prepared raw materials before the year, and now the inventory of raw materials is about one month old. Whether to stock up on raw materials depends on the subsequent raw material prices and order status. “The current inventory of raw materials is about one month old. They were all prepared before the year. Because it was predicted that there would be no increase in the beginning of the year, so the inventory is not too much.” Mr. Qian of Tanqiu Yuanfeng Textile Factory also said that the current inventory of raw materials in the factory is not high. We still have about 15-25 days of raw material inventory. Lu Hongguang of Yunjie Textile Co., Ltd. said that the inventory of raw materials is about 2 months.
When asked whether their current raw material prices are at a reasonable level, Lu Hongguang of Wujiang Yunjie Textile Co., Ltd. and Zhang Shuhua of Suzhou Zejun Textile Co., Ltd. both said that for Stability is the most reasonable thing for the price of raw materials. It cannot fluctuate as much as last year, which disrupted the market rhythm and diluted profits. The most important thing is stability!
Judging from the purchase of raw materials by cloth bosses, this year’s The operation is much more cautious than before. It seems that they are not very enthusiastic about stocking up on raw materials. Most of them adopt the strategy of buying and using as they go, or they have already stocked up some before the year and wait and see. However, we hope that the prices of raw materials can be stable and must not fluctuate as much as last year.
In addition to the weaving market, what textile people are most concerned about is the situation in the printing and dyeing market. Dyeing factories in Fuzhou have already raised dyeing fees first. Will this wave of price increases affect Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Woolen cloth?
Most dyeing factories have started operating normally, and dyeing fees have not yet increased.
At present, most dyeing factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have Some dyeing factories have started operating normally, while some dyeing factories have not yet kept up with production due to lack of personnel. After investigation, most traders said that the current dyeing fees have not increased, but it is hard to say whether they will increase in the future. The current delivery time of dyeing factories is similar to that of a year ago, about 15 days, and some products that are in short supply may take a month or more. Yuanfeng Textile Factory in Tanqiu said that we mainly make silk fabrics such as high silk fabric, chiffon, twisted satin, etc. The products are not in short supply, and the basic delivery time is about 10-15 days. A dyeing factory we often cooperate with Pingtanchun Yafang has a lot of orders and it is expected to take about a month to ship.
Although the printing and dyeing market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has not yet increased prices, as the cost of dyes and environmental protection investment are getting higher and higher, subsequent price increases are more likely, and currently we can only Take it one step at a time.
Expectations for the market outlook
Most bosses are still optimistic about their expectations for the market outlook. Lu from Wujiang Yunjie Textile Co., Ltd. Hongguang said that the company’s overall order intake and operations have been relatively stable since the beginning of this year, and the market outlook should not be worse than last year. On the one hand, the company’s foreign trade volume is relatively large. With the advancement of Sino-US trade negotiations, the market is developing well. For Receiving foreign trade orders is a big plus. Manager Wen of Suzhou Mipin Textile Co., Ltd. also believes that the market outlook will not be very bad. When there are gold, silver and silver, imitation silk is in urgent need. Moreover, the customers we cooperate with are all old customers for many years, which is relatively stable and there is no need to worry about orders.
Some cloth bosses are pessimistic about the market outlook, mainly because the blowout of peripheral looms is bound to have a certain impact on the weaving market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The market cake is only small. How to divide it then?
As the saying goes, “There are always more methods than difficulties.” No matter what the market situation is in 2019, textile people have to go step by step. Now the most important thing for textile companies is to improve their products. Quality and added value can be recognized by the market. Be yourself, and I believe that 2019 will give textile people a satisfactory answer!
