In 2018, pongee is a very hot-selling fabric. In the first half of the year, there was a lively scene of “hard to find”. Among the many specifications of pongee, 300T pongee is particularly popular. Yafang has a higher density among conventional products and has a wide range of uses. It can be used as both lining and fabric, such as the lining of some high-end clothes and down jacket fabrics. So in 2019, will this fabric still be so popular?
Why is 300T pongee so popular in 2018?
In the first half of 2018, the gray fabric market soared, and the market entered a state of “everything is easy to sell, but nothing is in stock”. The main reason is the indicator of water-jet looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions The elimination of gray fabrics has resulted in a reduction in gray fabric production capacity, and the gray fabric market is in short supply. At that time, the most popular products were “rag” polyester taffeta and pongee, and manufacturers’ inventories were basically zero. The machine is running at full capacity every day, but it is still too late to deliver the goods.
In the second half of 2018, the gray fabric part from other places began to be put into production. However, due to the slow production of 300T pongee textile, the output was low. Even if the market price It is very high, and the price has been rising. Calculating the time cost, the profit margin is not very high. In addition, there are many troubles in weaving, and gray fabric manufacturers in other places have not yet mass-produced. Therefore, 300T pongee is still in tight supply in the second half of 2018.
300T pongee has really stepped down from the altar?
In 2019, all the gray fabrics transferred to the central and western regions have been put into production, and the gray fabric market is already saturated. It is currently the “Golden Three” peak season, and the market is in a relatively stable situation. Although there is no “hard to find cloth” situation in the first half of last year, the market is still slowly starting to start.
Recently, the best-selling fabrics on the market are imitation silk series and matte card-breaking ones. In comparison, some fabrics are relatively weak in sales, such as polyester taffeta, pongee, four-way elastic, etc. The market is not selling well, and manufacturers’ inventories are increasing day by day. “Our fabrics have not been touched much, which is incomparable with the first half of last year. Now we just want the price not to fall, and we don’t expect a price increase.” said a manager of a pongee company in Shengze area.
The editor believes that the main reason why 300T pongee has fallen from the altar is that the gray fabric market is in a state of oversupply in 2019. The cake is only so big, and it won’t be enough if there are too many people sharing it. Furthermore, the first half of each year is the home of spring and summer fabrics, while pongee is an autumn and winter fabric, mainly used as fabrics and linings for down jackets. The current market demand has not increased, which has also led to the decline of pongee in the first half of this year. The reason for the shortage of goods.
In addition to 300T pongee, some manufacturers of mid- to low-end fabrics in the Shengze market have said that the current market cannot be compared with last year. In comparison, fabric profits are also gradually declining. “Because a large number of gray fabrics from other places have impacted the local market, the profits of mid- to low-end fabrics are getting lower and lower now. We can only make money by selling volume. Workers’ wages and water and electricity bills are rising. It’s really making money selling cabbage. Damn it.” With the heart of selling white powder!”
Afterword
As the saying goes “Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi”, the same is true for the textile market, and Updates are faster, and a popular product may fade away after a month or half a month. Boss Bu also said that if we want to avoid being eliminated by the market, we must continue to innovate and improve, and making high-end, high-quality fabrics is the right way! </p
