According to the production characteristics of the textile industry, generally speaking, weaving companies are the first to go on holiday. Dyeing factories and other thermal power plants will also go on holiday after gas outages. Fabric merchants and traders generally persist until the end.
However, it is understood that a textile cluster thermal power plant has recently ended its steam supply in mid-January ahead of schedule due to the construction of high-voltage lines for high-speed rail, and the dyeing factory will also have a large-scale Spring Festival holiday before mid-January.
The holiday is in mid-January. Based on the situation in previous years, this time point is more reasonable for weaving companies. However, dyeing factories are the last factories to stick to it every year, which is ahead of schedule compared to the printing and dyeing industry. However, due to the stoppage of steam supply, companies have no choice.
As we get closer to the end of the year, the textile market is at a very critical time point. In previous years, due to the nearly one-month shutdown of the domestic textile industry during the Spring Festival, the market was at least one week earlier than the original holiday, which will inevitably bring about certain orders. At the end of the year, the market will A large number of orders after the year will be produced in advance, or stocking up to a certain extent. Coupled with the early epidemic control in Zhejiang, the operating load of dyeing factories was reduced, which led to another imbalance between supply and demand in the printing and dyeing market.
It is understood that the printing and dyeing market in Keqiao District is currently busy, and most factories are liquidated. Printing and dyeing factories in Binhai District are currently working hard to catch up on orders. There is a large amount of gray fabric coming into the warehouse. Facing the Spring Festival holiday, there is not much production time left. The combination of these two factors has caused most dyeing factories to liquidate their warehouses. In Shengze and surrounding areas, some dyeing factories also experienced liquidation. A salesperson from a local dyeing factory revealed: “The factory has been out of stock recently. There is so much work in the flat-cylinder workshop that we can’t finish it even during the Chinese New Year holidays, so now we no longer accept small orders of less than 10,000 meters.”
Printing and dyeing belongs to the downstream of the fabric market. It is traditionally an important link linking downstream clothing ports. Its order volume is also an important indicator for judging the improvement in demand. Now that printing and dyeing factories have begun to improve, will the weaving end also see a reversal?
If you want to talk about the current market situation, you can probably understand it by going around the market. The person in charge of a sales department said: “Most of the people who come in now are people who collect and sell fabrics. Few, and several stores next to us are transferring in order to save the rent, but they probably won’t be transferred for a while, and now they are used as warehouses.” The trade side was relatively prosperous in the first three quarters of this year, but now The market became extremely cold at the end of the year, the foreign epidemic was raging again, foreign orders were still missing, and the domestic trade market also experienced a situation of too much food and too much food. The order model changed from “large batch” to “small batch, multi-batch” model.
Although this year’s market orders have come to an end, foreign trade orders are coming one after another. According to a salesperson from another dyeing factory, “the past two days have been better than before, but foreign trade orders are coming, and we have customers making samples. It is expected that a large amount of goods will be shipped, so there will probably be work to do before the holidays.” Of course, not all dyeing factories have sold out recently. At present, it seems that the limited orders cannot satisfy most traders, which has also led to Only a small number of traders have seen an improvement in their orders on hand, while most are still “out of orders”. A trader said: “The work of the dyeing factories has improved now, but it is also because the printing and dyeing factories went on holiday early this year, including that some companies did place orders for spring and summer. However, the dyeing factories themselves were not satisfied with the start-up, and the market did not have a large area. Getting better”,
As we approach the end of the year, this year’s winter orders have basically come to an end. According to the editor, some companies have indeed placed orders for spring and summer next year, and the quantities are not small. However, more companies are now focusing on new products next year. Development of orders. Therefore, downstream weaving manufacturers and traders are now more focused on proofing and development. The development involves dyeing in small vats. At this time of year, the number of small vats is the largest. After the early holiday of printing and dyeing factories at the end of the year, the issuance of foreign trade orders in spring and summer and the concentration of the proofing and development season have led to the market outbreak at this time.
All in all, with the gradual introduction of holiday plans for the fabric market, weaving manufacturers, and printing and dyeing manufacturers, this liquidation situation is expected to end soon. At the same time, after experiencing the impact of extreme weaving market conditions this year, the market has experienced a sharp decline. Most midstream and downstream manufacturers are relatively confused about the market situation in the coming year. Textile bosses are more concerned about finishing shipments and collecting payments at this stage.
The credit sales problem in the textile industry has been around for a long time. The fierce competition in the market has led many companies to adopt credit sales models to attract and retain customers to relieve pressure. However, as time goes by, customers will form the habit of credit transactions, and some bosses even “work hard”, delaying the payment of goods and then squandering the goods…
In the textile industry, “credit” has become an “industry rule”, which is often referred to as an “unspoken rule” in the industry. The fierce competition in the market has led many companies to adopt the credit sales model. However, while doing business, they have also planted a “ticking time bomb”.
This year’s abnormal market conditions and the subsequent need for accounts will also become a worry for textile bosses.
