Power rationing and rising raw material prices. A series of factors have disrupted the industry’s peak season production preparations. The ex-factory prices of some products have increased, and the delivery cycle has continued to lengthen. The pressure of shortages has begun to be transmitted through the supply chain. The terminal market is already showing signs of growth!
In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang textile markets, most dyeing factories have experienced liquidation, and delivery times have become extremely tight!
According to feedback from fabric traders, the delivery time of finished fabrics today is very long, and the delivery time for light dyeing is more than 20 days. If you encounter gray fabrics, you need to order Weaving, then it will take about 20 days. With such a long delivery time and lack of stability, it was difficult to give a delivery date for finished products, so many traders refused to accept orders.
Similarly, weaving companies are also facing a peak in orders. Some companies said that the order volume has exceeded their production capacity. Some companies have even begun to refuse orders. Manager Chen, who mainly produces functional fabrics, said: “Our orders have been scheduled for next year. You can see that there were still orders placed at 5 o’clock this morning. We rejected those who couldn’t agree on the delivery date.” Mr. Weng, the spinner, said: “Now the machines in our factory are fully operational as long as we don’t limit production, but it’s still a little late to complete the orders. Now our orders can be completed next year.” Manager Ling, who specializes in T400 and bubble cloth, said: ” There are obviously many more orders now than in September, and the factory is obviously crowded.”
Due to the decline in production capacity and the arrival of “Silver Ten” orders, the weaving inventory has declined in the short term. Got a big release. Manager Ling, who mainly sells pongee, told us: “We mainly do orders, but we also do market goods. For example, we do a lot of pongee. In the past few days, our stock of pongee has been low. There is no stock in the market. You should really be nervous.” Manager Chen, who specializes in functional fabrics, told us: “We don’t have too much inventory, and now the goods are flowing smoothly.” Mr. Weng, who specializes in pongee fabrics, said: “We sell spot goods. , there must be a certain amount of inventory, basically within a month. The sales volume has indeed improved compared to the previous period, and the inventory has dropped a lot.”
The relationship between supply and demand in the market has been reversed, causing the price of gray fabrics, which had been suppressed before, to rise. Mr. Weng, who mainly sells pongee, said: “Now our entire series of pongee has generally increased by 10%-15%. There is nothing we can do about it. Polyester has been rising for so long. It is impossible not to rise.” Mr. Jiang, the clothing fabric trading boss, said: “Now polyester products have increased by about 15%, and the prices of some nylon gray fabrics have increased by 100%. Downstream dyeing factories have also increased prices, and our finished products can only increase by about 8%. .” Mr. Yao, who specializes in chiffon and hemp, said: “With the price increase of polyester, our gray fabric will definitely increase in price, by about 0.5 yuan/meter.” The current price increase of gray fabric is mainly due to the increase in cost and inventory. , which made the gray fabrics that have been unable to increase in price finally increase in price.
The situation of upstream textile fabrics is affecting terminal production and sales. In Yiwu, Zhejiang, Cheng Gang’s company is about to face three tough battles: Double Eleven, Double Twelve and Chinese New Year.
40% of the inventory was established two months ago at a low price. The purchase price of the remaining 60% inventory has increased by 5%. And in October, the purchase price is no longer the only one. The biggest problem is whether the goods can be received.
Power rationing and rising raw material prices. A series of factors have disrupted Yiwu’s peak season production preparations. The ex-factory prices of some products have increased, and the delivery cycle has continued to lengthen. The pressure of shortages has begun to be transmitted through the supply chain.
Yiwu is the global distribution base for small commodities. Every year, hundreds of billions of small commodities closely related to daily life are shipped from Yiwu to overseas and domestic markets. However, this kind of shortage pressure does not only exist in Yiwu. Cheng Gang’s purchasing locations also include Shandong, Hebei, Hunan and other places, and the situation is roughly similar.
The terminal market has shown signs of growth.
A daily chemical dealer in Xi’an found that some categories of products had to wait more than a month to receive the goods. The factory explained that it was due to lack of packaging materials; a supermarket purchaser I learned that some small products such as small stools are difficult to purchase.
In the Bairong International Commodity City, one of the few remaining small commodity markets in Beijing, this phenomenon has also begun to appear: a plastic products stall mentioned that plastic basins and other small commodities have recently had to wait a long time. to get the goods; the purchase price of scarves at a clothing stall has increased by about 10 yuan; a ceramic products stall has just been informed that the purchase price will increase by 10%, and may continue to rise, while the purchase price of ceramic products has There have been no major changes in many years.
In Cheng Gang’s opinion, after Double Eleven has digested the market inventory, bigger changes may occur. </p
