Recently, the raw material polyester filament has been soaring, and downstream weaving manufacturers have complained that they can’t bear it. Most manufacturers have also chosen to slightly raise the price of fabrics to make up for the increase in raw material prices. Who is the saddest at this time? Raw material factory? Or a weaving manufacturer? No, the traders are suffering the most during this period. Let’s listen to their complaints!
What I have heard most recently is traders’ complaints. Upstream prices are rising, and downstream prices are rising. It is the most difficult to become a sandwich biscuit trader!
The cost pressure is high and the profits are getting smaller and smaller
For small and medium-sized traders, gray fabrics usually cooperate with small weaving manufacturers, so that they can have a certain share of the price. Advantage. However, as environmental protection measures continue to increase this year, Pingwang and Shengze are still strictly inspecting water-jet looms. Small and medium-sized weaving manufacturers who are still in the production stage have been unable to support themselves under the influence of the sharp increase in raw material prices and the suspension of production, and have also raised their prices. For traders, the profit margins are getting smaller and smaller!
What is even more helpless is that I know that this order will not make much money and will cost a lot of energy, but I have to take it. As this trading boss said, the market is only so small. Big, if you don’t accept it, others will. After all, there is still a company to support and to pay employees. Therefore, even though the profit is small, I still have to take it! Helpless!
Dye and dyeing fees are rising, making it the most difficult thing for traders to do
Starting from August 10 Dyeing fee: “The dyeing processing fee for all products will increase by 500 yuan/ton on the original basis, based on the delivery date of the finished product.”
After Guangdong Shantou, Puning, Foshan, Jiangsu Nantong, Changshu, Changzhou , Jiangyin area, Zhejiang Shaoxing, Jinhua area, Fujian Shishi, Changle area, Jiangsu Suzhou this year have rarely seen dyeing fee increase notices. Finally, in the case of rising costs, dyeing fees are not allowed to be adjusted.
The editor visited the market and found that in the Shengze area, dyeing For an ordinary piece of imitation silk fabric, the dyeing factory quoted 1.5 yuan/meter last year, but this year the price has risen to 1.7 yuan/meter. The key is that the price of fabrics has not increased much, which means that traders can only absorb this part of the increased dyeing fees.
Customer risks are high, pure traders are struggling
Some traders in the market have factories, we Call it industry and trade integration. Today’s customers tend to prefer companies integrating industry and trade, especially foreign customers, who are very interested in the scale of the factory. As a result, it becomes even more difficult for pure traders without factories to operate. It was not favored by customers in the first place. Now, it can only rely on low prices to compete. It is really hard to tell!
As for customers, general brand customers have various requirements for suppliers such as large-scale production. For small traders, they can only connect with some relatively small-scale downstream purchasers. Then here comes the problem. Generally, in order to ensure their own profits, these kind of buyers often lower prices, etc. After finally negotiating the price, various quality nitpicks appear from time to time after the goods arrive. Not to mention payment, it is almost impossible to pay on time. It is common for the goods to be in arrears for several months, and some are even in arrears for more than half a year. For this kind of customers, they should also be careful not to let the money go away. If they are not careful, they may lose all the money for the goods. At that time, people and money will really be lost! Therefore, traders should keep their eyes open when accepting orders and choose customers with high credibility!
Editor’s Note: Recently, under the joint price increase of upstream raw material factories and downstream weaving factories, the middle Traders are indeed having a hard time. But getting through the worst days will be the best days! As long as you do your best, I believe success is just around the corner!
