What’s coming has come again! With the changes in power rationing control policies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we originally thought that power rationing measures would gradually subside, but it is true that we have all underestimated the country’s determination and strength in dual control of energy consumption. Recently, the “Notice on the suspension of production of a well-known printing and dyeing factory in Zhejiang due to annual power consumption exhaustion” has once again forced many textile people to be stunned!
The notice shows that the company’s total annual production electricity consumption has been used up, and it has to temporarily suspend production, with limited production output. , will be restored after January 1, 2022. During the temporary suspension, the company will reserve electricity only for basic electricity use such as office work and environmental safety.
Looking at the current market, some companies said, “If there is a long-term power outage, the current production capacity will definitely not be able to keep up with demand, and orders can only be further reduced.” For printing and dyeing companies, It is said that power rationing will lead to a decrease in the operating rate. If power rationing occurs for a long time, the impact will not only be delayed delivery, but also the loss of downstream customers and a serious decline in profits! At present, this well-known dyeing factory in Zhejiang has directly limited production until next year. In addition, the cost of dyes is rising again and again, which puts the company under huge pressure!
The “Power Limitation Notice” has not ended yet
Environmental protection rectification is here to cheer again
However, one wave after another comes again! The shutdown caused by “power rationing” has not yet come to an end, and environmental inspections are coming again! Recently, Hebei, Guangdong, Shandong, Henan and other places issued heavy pollution weather warnings, strictly controlled emission reductions by heavily polluting enterprises, implemented traffic control, encouraged enterprises to stagger production, and suspended production and reduced production when necessary.
The polyester plant in Xiamen, Fujian fell into a “production suspension storm”
Due to Due to environmental protection requirements, a Xiamen manufacturer temporarily shut down two polyester plants supplying 380,000 tons, involving products such as polyester filament, polyester staple fiber and chips. The restart time is yet to be determined.
Xiamen Xianglu polyester filament plant was temporarily shut down on the 16th, involving a total polyester filament production capacity of 140,000 tons/year.
Due to environmental protection reasons, the polyester bottle flake device of East China No. 1 Factory with an annual output of 240,000 tons will be shut down for maintenance on the afternoon of the 16th, and the restart time is to be determined.
The company that suddenly stopped production turned into a “switch factory”
Weaving factories in some areas have holiday plans after December
In addition, after experiencing a sharp increase in raw materials, they have also recently experienced price reductions. . Polyester filament, which has been rising for more than ten consecutive days, has recently been conducting joint “promotions”, with promotions even as high as 500-600 yuan. However, no one bought it, and production and sales only increased slightly.
The reasons for this result include, in addition to the impact of policies, the dyeing factories have too many orders with slow delivery times, and the production costs are rising again and again. For downstream companies, even if raw material prices fall, profits still have to be squeezed again and again, which is not very attractive.
So, under the influence of these factors, currently, the textile spot market continues to be weak, polyester raw material prices are weak, polyester filament shipments are slowing down, and there is no obvious downstream demand. Improvement, pessimism spreads, and some traders ship goods at low prices, which puts certain pressure on the current industry chain prices. The price of gray cloth has been reduced in some areas, and most weaving mills reported that the market continues to decline. Weaving mills in some areas have holiday plans after December, but the number is not large. Weaving mills’ expectations for the market outlook have dropped significantly.
Since the second half of this year, the introduction of the power rationing plan will inevitably bring certain fluctuations to the entire coastal textile industry.
At the same time, unpredictable environmental protection, power rationing, and sudden production shutdowns have also turned enterprises into “switch factories”, which will undoubtedly affect the normal production and order delivery of Jiangsu and Zhejiang textile enterprises. The deadline has a great impact, which is equivalent to adding insult to injury to the textile industry chain enterprises! </p
