The textile market has steadily entered the traditional peak season in September. Over the past few days, orders have steadily increased, demand has increased, and the gray fabric market was once in tight supply. The days when you can’t buy goods even if you have money have really come! Recently, the author learned that conventional products such as polyester taffeta, pongee, and imitation memory are once again seriously out of stock!
The heat of polyester taffeta remains unabated and burns brighter
Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of polyester taffeta has not diminished. However, since September, this “fire” of enthusiasm has become stronger and stronger. Orders for down jackets and cotton-padded jackets are gradually being placed in the autumn and winter seasons in the second half of the year, so the demand for high-density fine-denier fabrics is amplified. However, the looms have encountered environmental protection regulations, limited production capacity, and insufficient startups. The supply is tight and there is no spot. The author’s friend Xiao Wu said: “300T and 310T polyester taffeta are not available. I bought 50,000 meters in cash and they told me to wait for at least half a month. It makes my head hurt!” Looking at Xiao Wu’s distressed look, the author There is nothing I can do to help. In recent days, not only has the price of polyester taffeta increased by 2-3 cents, but it is also out of stock and requires 15 days of waiting in line. The days of not being able to buy goods at high prices have really come to us.
Pounge fabric is “hard to find”!
As the first choice for down jackets and cotton-padded jackets, pongee was of course once a hot commodity. No, many companies recently told me that they could not get pongee products, and they were very anxious. Ms. Wang from a company in Shengze asked me to help find 320T matt pongee 20,000 meters of gray fabric. However, the author asked all the resources at hand and they all said that it was not in stock and had to wait in line. The phrase “a piece of cloth is hard to find” explains it vividly! Another specification, 300T pongee, is also out of stock. The owner of a weaving factory told the author that the 300T pongee is not even available for 5,000 meters, let alone 50,000 meters. Let’s wait for it! This can make the cloth boss anxious. The demand for pongee is getting bigger and bigger, the inventory of weaving factories is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer machines. How to solve this rigid demand problem?
Enthusiasm for purchasing imitation memory is rising again and again
Imitation memory has become popular in the market in the past 20 days or so, with a large number of goods being sold out. However, money cannot buy goods. Jackets are the main garments in autumn and winter, and buyers’ enthusiasm for purchasing imitation memory has also been increasing. 75D weft twist imitation memory, this specification is relatively conventional and is also very popular among fashion designers. Most of them use this fabric, so there is a serious shortage of goods. The author learned that, except for 150D imitation memory, other specifications of imitation memory are more or less out of stock. It takes about 15-20 days to wait in line at the machine, and you can only squeeze it out bit by bit like toothpaste.
The textile market is indeed having a hard time this year, with shortages of goods occurring from time to time. Weaving manufacturers are extremely busy, with no inventory left and a large number of orders waiting in line. According to the data monitoring of sample enterprises by China Silk City Network, the inventory of gray fabric weaving in Shengze area is 29 days, a decrease of 1-2 days compared with the previous month. In terms of startup rate, it is still maintained at around 70-80%, which is a fair situation. The operating rate may decline in the later period because Shengze’s water jet loom will be suspended from 6 am on September 9 to 6 pm on September 11. This may aggravate the phenomenon of “it’s hard to find a piece of cloth”.
Even though “a piece of fabric is hard to come by”, if there is an order, you still have to take it. If the gray fabric is out of stock, you still have to wait. Adjust your mentality and work harder for tomorrow! This tight supply situation may be alleviated in the future. All we need to do is adjust our mentality and let go of taking orders.
