“Recently, many fabrics in the market cannot be sold at a loss, and the market is in a terrible state. Many imitation silk manufacturers have stopped production, and some even stopped for a month.” A textile boss in Shengze area said.
In recent years, imitation silk has not been favored by the market. Many imitation silks with older specifications that have been eliminated by the market have been reduced to linings. Some textile bosses even stock millions of meters of 50D glossy silk in their warehouses a few years ago. Stocks of chiffon beads and 75D false-twisted Italian yarn. These fabrics were star products in the market a few years ago. Since the outbreak of the Wuhan epidemic in 2019, these fabrics have no longer been as glamorous as before.
It is understood that the current market price of the most common imitation silk such as chiffon beads on the market is around 2.65 yuan/meter, but the cost is actually 3 yuan/meter. The current market price of SPH broken card is more than 3 yuan/meter, and the cost price Nearly 4 yuan/meter. Such a loss-making price also received a “cold reception” from the market.
I’m tired of saying the word loss!
From the beginning of the epidemic to now, the word “loss” has become the daily routine of textile bosses in three years. Although the market popularity of stretch fabrics and nylon fabrics last year was acceptable, the popularity of other fabrics except these two fabrics can be said to be short-lived. For example, the price of waffles mentioned earlier soared and then fell to the bottom. In less than a month, some even just got on the market. The short-lived hot-selling model made textile bosses not too optimistic about the market. Big hope.
There are many reasons for losses, and the epidemic is only a small part. The main reason is that the current market supply exceeds demand. I believe that almost all weaving manufacturers have a lot of inventory piled in their warehouses. They weave hard in the early stage and cry to sell in the later stage!
There are not even 10,000 but 9,000 weaving companies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Anyone can really get involved. But the fish pond is so big and the number of fish is getting smaller and smaller. If there are not enough points, then someone will definitely not be able to catch fish.
Maybe for some weaving manufacturers, shutting down and reducing production is the best option now. The current market situation is indeed not good. Although there are textile bosses who have received orders and the profits are acceptable, these are a very small number after all. It is impossible for such a large market to Everyone can have enough to eat, and some smaller weaving manufacturers would have a hard time surviving without their price advantage.
Suspension of production may be the last way out…
As the epidemic continues, market demand will definitely not increase much. Textile bosses who originally hoped to have production orders this year may be disappointed again.
Time flies by very quickly. Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming soon. We will definitely take a holiday. I don’t know how long it will take. Although the factory shutdown is not friendly to the workers, it can save a lot of money for the textile boss. In the near future, The price of raw materials is also unstable, and the inventory produced is not at the lowest price. Why should we insist on normal production?
An appropriate holiday will give the factory a chance to breathe, reduce the production of inventory, and wait until the time is right to restart production. Even in such an emergency period, the direction cannot be lost.
Generally speaking, textile people still have great hopes for the Qingming Festival. After all, no orders have been placed since the beginning of this year. The epidemic is an epidemic and the demand is low, but it still exists, so it is still very difficult after the Qingming Festival. There may be orders placed.
