“How is the market lately? Are there any bright spots?”
“The nylon ones are not very popular, the polyester ones are average, and the pongee ones are average. There are no products that sell well.”
“There is no movement in the market at the moment. We need to find out more in the future.”
It has been a week since the start of work, and news of price increases for various gray fabrics and polyester yarns has spread in the textile circle. The market situation has really improved, but some textile bosses don’t think so!
“The current market is not as good as they say. There are no highlight products, and the regular products are just mediocre. There are orders, but customers are used to low-priced gray fabrics, and it is difficult to accept the sudden price increase.” A person from Shengze area said the textile boss.
Is imitation silk a hot seller? “Yes, indeed”!
From the start of the new year to March and April, it is originally the period when imitation silk is selling well. To say that imitation silk has been selling well recently, some textile bosses have indeed received a lot of orders, but the hot sales are not profitable, and they can’t even break even. So this Hot seller, textile boss thinks it’s unnecessary!
“We recently received an order from a customer for 600,000 meters of simulated silk per month. It seems to be good, but the customer requires market price to sell it. According to the current polyester price, we are losing money.” A Shengze A regional textile boss said.
It is understood that the textile boss received 100D18 twisted chiffon beads. The current market price is 2.3 yuan/meter. However, due to the increase in raw material prices, this price is actually a loss. A simple calculation shows that the raw material cost needs 1.23 yuan/meter, the cost of double twisting is 0.75 yuan/meter, the cost of slitting is 0.1 yuan/meter, the cost of plain gray fabric is 2.08 yuan/meter, plus the weaving cost (labor, water, electricity, taxes) 0.7 yuan/meter, The final gray fabric price will be at least 2.8 yuan/meter to avoid losing money. Although the order volume of 600,000 meters per month is still considerable, the loss-making orders have made the textile boss miserable.
“Hot sales” are the market norm, and losing money is the current situation of textile bosses
Every time when production starts after the New Year, it has become normal for raw materials to rise. So has the price for gray fabrics increased? Textile boss: “It has gone up, but not completely.”
In the past two years, the textile market has been tortured by the epidemic. Year after year, we hope that the epidemic will disappear, but it seems to have gradually integrated into our lives. Because of the epidemic, it has become normal for textile bosses to sell goods at low prices. Over time, the rising cost has made it difficult for customers to accept the increased price of gray fabrics. As a result, many textile bosses are still selling at a loss.
The losses in the past two years have made textile bosses afraid to take orders easily even if they have orders. Maybe if the price of raw materials increases tomorrow, what could have been a profit of 10 cents may be lost the next day.
Perennial losses have made the seemingly good market conditions “so-so” in the eyes of textile bosses. It has to be said that even if a large number of orders are placed in the market now, the loss-making situation of textile bosses will not immediately improve.
As the saying goes, the textile market has “three good years and three bad years.” Now that the worst three years have passed, this year should logically usher in a good market. Some textile bosses said: “Gold, three, and silver have not been available for several years.” It has appeared, and it should be better this year.” According to the current situation, it is not completely certain that the market will improve immediately in the later period, but there will be a wave of orders for “Gold, Three, Silver and Four” soon.
