The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the start of work for most textile companies. The editor would like to wish the textile bosses a good start and good financial resources! Although many textile companies have started operations, normal production has not yet started. Since most employees who have returned from other places have not yet arrived at work, the factories are not yet operating normally. The employees in the sales department are basically in place and operations have started normally. On the first day of work, some companies started busy delivering goods, but unfortunately the logistics had not returned to normal, and delivery became difficult.
Orders received on the first day of work and busy shipping
Mr. Yang, a company specializing in imitation silk, said: “On the first day of work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, we were busy delivering goods, but the logistics had not recovered yet and we were coordinating the delivery. It was very worrying. The customers were already urging me to death. Although the New Year was coming, It’s a break during this period, but it doesn’t affect customers’ orders. They placed orders early. Today is the first day of opening, and we also received a lot of new orders, so shipping is a headache.”
Many weaving manufacturers have unfulfilled orders on hand before the Spring Festival. A few manufacturers with large orders can execute orders until April to May, so they are more motivated to produce. Mr. Yang also said, “Many imitation silk stocks have been cleared before the holidays, and downstream traders are more active in replenishing goods. Therefore, after the start of construction, we must seize the time for production to ensure customer delivery. The first task after the new year is to pay close attention to the task , resume production as soon as possible.” The person in charge of another textile company said: “Our factory in northern Jiangsu started operations on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. From now on, the attendance rate of old employees is quite satisfactory, and 70% to 80% of the employees can be opened on the first day. ”
The editor also walked around the market and found that there were indeed many companies loading and delivering goods. This shows that the textile market after the holiday has gradually become busy. Among them, there are orders that cannot be shipped before the holiday, and there are also orders received during and after the Spring Festival. But no matter when the order is received, it is a good thing to have an order. The “good start” of the weaving market is here!
General rise in gray fabrics welcomes “good start”
Not only did we receive orders on the first day of work, but the price of gray fabrics also started to boom! Some cloth bosses have already issued price increase notices. This wave of price increases for gray fabrics is expected. It is not only the custom of price increases for gray fabrics after the Spring Festival, but the rising oil prices are also an important factor adding fuel to the flames.
Mr. Yang also said that on the first day of construction, the price of gray fabrics of most specifications has increased by 0.1 yuan/meter. Prices have been kept very low last year in order to reduce inventory. Now, taking advantage of this wave of raw materials, prices have risen a bit. Specifically, it depends on the gram weight. The price of low gram weight will increase by 5 points, and the price of high gram weight will increase by about 1 cent.
Another person in charge of industry and trade also revealed: “Although we did not start work during the Chinese New Year period, foreign customers did not miss the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, we kept in touch and got quotations. After the New Year, I think the price of gray fabrics will definitely increase, so During the Chinese New Year, we take the price increase into account when quoting.”
At the end of last year, the gray fabric market ushered in a wave of market conditions. Many manufacturers’ inventories dropped significantly, which boosted market confidence. It is said that polyester taffeta, chiffon, hemp and other products on the market are currently receiving orders well before the Spring Festival. Many manufacturers Indicates that product inventories are currently low. In addition, there will be a new season of orders from the Spring Festival to April, which is relatively the peak demand season, so it is more likely that this “good start” will continue. Rising oil prices will also become an important factor driving the market. If flour has risen, will bread prices continue to rise?
Judging from a series of factors, this year’s “Golden Three” peak season may be promising, but for most fabric manufacturers, overcapacity is still an important factor hindering fabric price increases. According to data monitored by China Silk Capital Network, weaving inventory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang remains at about 33.7 days. Although this number is low, once the factory resumes normal production, the inventory will quickly increase. If it is not sold in time, the inventory will be accumulated accidentally.
