“Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river” is a widely circulated proverb, which is used to describe the ups and downs of the world and lament the ever-changing world. For the textile fabric market, the rise and fall of fabric products appear to be more frequent. In just one or two years, they suddenly rise against the trend, or the glory fades soon, and the volume and price shrink.
In today’s textile market, 300T polyester taffeta and high-density nylon yarn are naturally “infinitely popular”. Their popularity has almost caught up with the wave of “buy, buy, buy”, “up, up, up” and “catch up” in November last year. , rush, rush” rhythm. But apart from that, what is the sales situation of other fabric products on the market?
For this question, the author recently visited a number of textile merchants in Shengze and Keqiao areas. These two “cloth cities” are both enemies and friends, but imitation silk products have become the “keywords” in their mouths, and It has the momentum of being “hard to buy for a thousand dollars”.
From the author’s conversation with merchants in Shengze Market:
“Boss, apart from polyester taffeta and nylon, what fabrics are more popular in the market recently?”
“Of course it’s imitation silk!”
“Which varieties are more popular?”
“Imitation silk products are all easy to sell, such as 75D chiffon, Shunwei crepe, exquisite hemp…”
“Are they all spot transactions?”
“Where can I get the goods in stock? I can’t get them at all. I have to grab them!”
From the author’s conversation with merchants in Keqiao Market:
“Boss, are you doing well recently?”
“not good!”
“Didn’t you hear that imitation silk is very popular during this period?”
“Yeah, the point is there’s nothing for sale!”
“Does the price of spot goods need to be increased?”
“The price has been increased and there is no stock in stock. I dare not take orders if there are orders. There is no stock for chiffon or crepe!”
Almost similar conversations also appeared in the accounts of many textile merchants in Keqiao and Shengze areas. It is understood that during this period, the simulated silk products, whether they are chiffon, smooth crepe, flower crepe, tangled hemp, etc., especially the 75D series, are in a “hot sale-out of stock” status.
Simulated silk fabric – as the name suggests, it imitates real silk fabric and is a chemical fiber product. It has characteristics similar to real silk, such as being light, soft, skin-friendly, smooth, and breathable. There are many categories: chiffon, satin, crepe, georgette, tangled hemp, Huayao crepe, high silk treasure, carissa, washed velvet and many other categories.
Looking back, in fact, as early as the 1990s, imitation silk fabrics have emerged in the Shengze market; after several upgrades, in 2011, when the textile fabric market gradually entered a trough, the sales of imitation silk fabrics still bucked the trend. Fluttering red. However, in the following years, imitation silk fabrics gradually “cold”, not only experiencing seasonal demand reduction, but also accompanied by a series of fatal problems such as fabric profit compression, inventory increase and overcapacity. With the advancement of product varieties and technological innovation and improvement, etc., since last year, artificial silk products have gradually become a “hot product” in the market; especially during this period, there has been a boom in the market. The market share is gradually expanding, and there is even a situation where “a piece of cloth is hard to find”.
