In February, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and many market people’s circle of friends have begun to show various holiday news, but the author can only silently count down the holiday dates alone. The Spring Festival is really coming in one week, and the business in the weaving market is slowly coming to a standstill. Many bosses are busy clearing accounts. Here, the author still wants to remind you that in order to come back and start work happily after the New Year, you still have to stock up on goods, especially the following three major categories of fabrics!
Polyester taffeta: 500,000 meters of order, out of stock!
Recently, a textile friend was worried. He had an order of 500,000 meters in hand, but he couldn’t get the white blank. “I have asked several companies to make it.” Polyester taffeta manufacturers all say they have no inventory,” he said. Looking back at the weaving market in 2017, polyester taffeta is definitely leading the way. Although the market situation eased slightly in the third quarter, entering the fourth quarter, the popularity of polyester taffeta continues to rise in the market. So far, the market is still Heard the words polyester taffeta, short inventory, and out of stock.
It is understood that in 2018, the lining market, led by polyester taffeta, has become “crazy” again. On the one hand, driven by cost factors, the price of polyester filament has generally risen, forming cost support for polyester taffeta; on the other hand, the temperature has dropped sharply, and the sales of down jackets and cotton jackets in the clothing market have surged, driving the purchase of related lining fabrics, and downstream tourists have supplemented their supply. The operation of stocking up and stocking up is continuous. With both cost and demand favorable conditions, the price of polyester filament has generally risen, especially for specifications such as 210T, 290T, 300T, and 320T, and the supply is relatively tight.
Many buyers said that for conventional products such as polyester taffeta, it is always necessary to stock up safe. Now that the market has entered a high-cost era, upstream polyester filament yarns are “forced” by rising prices of raw materials PTA and ethylene glycol, and are more likely to rise after the Spring Festival. On the other hand, for polyester taffeta manufacturers, low inventory is the best “sharp weapon” to increase prices. Faced with such a market situation, downstream tourists prepare and stock up in advance. After all, the polyester taffeta market will be optimistic in the short term after the Spring Festival. .
Of course, the same principle also applies to other conventional flat spray lining fabrics, such as nylon and pongee.
Four-side bomb: It has increased by 15% in half a year, and the market potential is huge!
The concept of “no elastic, no fabric” is deeply rooted in the fabric market. As a mainstream product of elastic fabrics, four-way stretch fabric has been occupying the top ten best-selling fabrics in recent years. In 2017, the four-sided elastic business was much lighter than that of polyester taffeta, but the market was better in the second half of the year. At that time, many dyeing factories said that the delivery time would be more than one month. Entering January 2018, the purchase sentiment of four-sided elastic is still relatively stable, mainly domestic sales, and purchases are mainly used for casual coats, jackets, trousers, etc.
Compared with polyester four-way stretch, nylon four-way stretch has greater sales potential in the market. According to Mr. Shen of Suzhou Jingtan, machine-wrapped nylon four-way stretch is a new trend in the market today. The fabric has a better feel and texture than ordinary empty-wrapped four-way stretch. Many international brands are purchasing it for making jackets, etc. . In addition, nylon four-way stretch is also in great demand in the outdoor field. Recently, a 30D nylon four-way stretch fabric as a three-in-one fabric has been very popular in the market. Compared with the middle of last year, its price has also increased. About 15%.
From the perspective of a salesperson who has been working in four-way nylon elastic for more than five years, nylon four-way stretch has strong plasticity, and its application areas are gradually expanding, from traditional socks and underwear to , sportswear has expanded to include casual wear, high-elastic fashion, car decoration, medical and other fields. For experts, the demand is stable, and it is always a good idea to stock up!
Imitation silk: It has increased by 0.2-0.4 yuan/meter in 2 months, and there is basically no stock!
A few years ago, the imitation silk series fell from “hot cakes” to “no one cares about it”. The market was once close to saturation, and many brands with large inventories Manufacturers choose to “cry and sell”. Starting from the fourth quarter of 2016, imitation silk fabrics have lost their previous decline, and their prosperity has picked up again.
From the perspective of transaction products, whether it is chiffon, smooth crepe, Huayao crepe, mess, etc., the transaction performance in the market is good. Entering January, the buying momentum for artificial silk is still good, especially for twisted products, and the inventory is also at a relatively low level. It is reported that 75D chiffon with 24 twists has good demand in the downstream. The mainstream price in the market is 3.40-3.50 yuan/meter, which is an increase of 0.20-0.40 yuan/meter compared with December. Some manufacturers said that there is basically no stock in the factory. Many downstream customers are purchasing for spring and summer fashion orders.
No matter whether the imitation silk market can make a “comeback”, but in recent years, the growth of international big names Judging from the fashion trends, the imitation silk series are still deeply loved by the big names of these brands, so as long as there are creativity and breakthroughs in finishing, the market share will not be small.
Judging from this year’s holiday schedule for textile companies and dyeing factories, the average holiday is about 20 days. According to previous years, there has been an increase. In some cases, work does not start until after the Lantern Festival. Some even took more than a month off. According to the rules of previous years, most companies are in the adjustment stage before the Lantern Festival, and output will be affected. In addition, the inventory of some product industries is low, and downstream will tend to purchase in advance. The tight supply will inevitably cause product prices to rise, so I would like to remind everyone: hurry up. Stock up, stock up rationally!
