It’s April recently, which is supposed to be the peak season for the textile market. It should be a month for cloth bosses to be happy, but in fact, it’s not satisfactory! Boss Bu’s face was full of sadness. What’s going on?
Conventional products such as pongee and polyester taffeta can no longer be sold!
In April, the situation in the weaving market was not as good as expected, and some bosses even complained that they were no longer able to receive orders. “The orders we have on hand can last until the end of April. It’s hard to say whether we can receive new orders in the future. This year’s regular products are not very popular, and the market is relatively deserted.” A company in Shengze area specializes in pongee textiles The manufacturer said so.
I still remember that in the first half of last year, the gray fabric market was suddenly ignited, and conventional products such as polyester taffeta and polyester polyester were hard to find. But in the second half of the year, the gray fabric market began to cool down. Youbu boss believes that the textile market has a saying of “three ups and three downs”. The three-year business cycle has arrived, and the fabric market will see “cooling” signals such as slower product price increases, declining transactions, and reduced production orders. “The price of conventional gray fabrics is expected to fall rather than rise in the future. The price of polyester taffeta in our factory has dropped by about 0.1 yuan/meter a few days ago with the price of raw materials.” A company in Shengze area specializes in polyester taffeta. manufacturer said.
Dye prices have increased, dyeing fees have increased, and costs have increased
Recently, due to the continuous increase in intermediates The shortage, coupled with the complete closure of Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park in Jiangsu Province, has made the relationship between supply and demand even more severe! Dispersed black ECT300% quickly rose to 70 yuan/KG! Including other dyes of the same type will also increase simultaneously!
The soaring price of disperse dyes has led to an increase in dyeing fees. At present, dyeing fees have begun to rise across the country. “Currently, the dyeing fees in Shengze area have generally increased by 0.1 yuan/meter. In fact, we are forced to increase due to cost pressure.” said the person in charge of a dyeing factory in Shengze area. .
Looking at the continued rising trend of dyes, whether printing and dyeing companies will continue to increase dyeing fees due to cost pressure in the future remains to be verified by the market. “The current market is average. Compared with March, there are slightly more orders. The delivery time is between one week and 30 days, depending on the variety.” From the order receipts in the printing and dyeing market, we can further verify that the market is indeed average, and there is no peak season. sign.
Water printing companies are facing closure and rectification, and costs are rising
Recently, it was reported that all flat screen and rotary screen printing companies in Shengze area will stop production before June 30. It is understood that generally imitation silk women’s clothing fabrics require the use of water printing technology. If the news is true, after water printing is shut down, it can only be converted to digital printing, and the price of digital printing is at least 1-2 yuan/meter more expensive than water printing. “If this news is true, it will have a big impact on us. The volume we do is relatively large. If we use digital printing, the cost will go up all of a sudden.” said a trader in Shengze area.
Although it is not yet known whether this news is true, it is certain that the survival of water printing companies will become more and more severe in the future, and traders It also faces rising costs and further compression of profits.
Afterword
In addition to the above points, Boss Bu’s troubles don’t end there. With the explosion of production capacity in the central and western regions, many local manufacturers of mid- to low-end products in Shengze have disappeared. The price advantage is hard to compete with. In addition, various costs such as rent, water and electricity are rising, and the burden on Boss Bu’s shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, but the orders are still slow to come, and he can’t even meet the sales volume. But the editor believes that the future is bright but the road is tortuous. Now if you want to avoid being eliminated by the market, the only way is to continue to innovate and improve, and to make high-end, high-quality fabrics! </p
