It can be said that the textile market is full of thorns recently, but textile people are moving forward. Externally, the situation in Russia and Ukraine is uncertain, which affects foreign trade, which is already difficult to recover. Internally, there is an epidemic outbreak in some textile areas in China, which affects the normal development of domestic trade. For weaving companies, it seems that it is not busy when it should be in peak season.
The operating rate gradually increased, and orders were divided
Now, the peak season of gold, silver and silver has arrived. Most enterprises have fully resumed operations and returned to normal, and the operating rate is gradually increasing. Entering this period, the orders received by weaving enterprises have become differentiated. Most manufacturers currently receive mostly small orders, which can basically be maintained until the end of March. Some manufacturers with better order acceptance can maintain their orders until the end of May.
Mr. Tang, who specializes in elastic fabrics and imitation silk, said: “The machines are fully operational. There are no new orders at the moment. They are all old customers taking goods, and there are not many. The varieties are relatively mixed, all spring and summer. I feel later. It’s also hard to get better, and the clothes are not good.”
Compared with some enterprises, which have relatively few orders, Mr. Chen, who specializes in polyester and nylon woven fabrics, said: “Work is starting normally. T400, 20D polyester nylon, and 50D polyester polyester taffeta pongee are selling well, and the orders have been very sufficient. By the end of May.”
Ingredients are so expensive that I don’t dare to stock up anymore.
Although they are fully powered on, it is not a good time for most companies to receive orders. Moreover, under the influence of crude oil recently, various raw materials have also increased. However, downstream companies are more pessimistic about the price increase of raw materials and find it difficult to accept it. Most of them buy and use as they go. The product inventories of some companies are also higher than the same period in previous years.
Mr. Tang, who specializes in elastic fabrics and imitation silk, said: “I haven’t stocked up on raw materials, and the market is not very good. I don’t dare to stock up, so I just buy a little bit. There is not much inventory. In about 20 days, the four-sided elastic is basically sold out at breakeven. The inventory is the same as last year. almost.”
Mr. Li, who specializes in imitation silk, polyester-cotton, and nylon-cotton stretch series, said: “The inventory of gray fabrics is 2 months old, and the inventory of raw materials is not much. The inventory of gray fabrics is more than last year, so we will not stockpile raw materials for the time being.”
Mr. Chen, who specializes in polyester and nylon woven fabrics, said: “The inventory of product raw materials is insufficient and has dropped compared with the same period last year.”
Internal and external needs vary; some are happy and others are sad.
Although it is currently in the peak season, there is not much market demand. It is difficult for gray fabric prices to keep up with the rise in raw materials. Profits have decreased, and the acceptance of downstream products is naturally not high.
Mr. Tang, who specializes in elastic fabrics and imitation silk, said: “Domestic and foreign trade is not good, e-commerce is not good, and overall everything is not good. Raw materials have increased, and our gray fabrics are still on sale. The inventory has been sold out, and the ones currently woven are sold at a loss. .”
Mr. Chen, who specializes in polyester and nylon woven fabrics, said: “Foreign trade companies can’t stop receiving orders. Raw materials have been rising, gray fabrics have only increased, not decreased, profits have declined, and downstream acceptance is as usual.”
Mr. Shen, who is mainly engaged in polyester taffeta Oxford cloth and pongee, said: “Foreign trade orders have been affected by the Russia-Ukraine incident, but the impact is not significant. We are following up in an orderly manner. Recently, raw materials have surged, costs have increased, and the price of gray fabrics has increased appropriately, so the relative profits It’s also reduced.”
Facing today’s market, most companies have similar opinions, with most of them being pessimistic. It is mainly caused by the epidemic and geopolitical factors, but the low market situation is only temporary, and there will always be a day when the clouds clear and the moon shines.
