Recently, affected by international oil prices, the polyester industry chain has been in decline. Polyester, the raw material most closely related to us textile people, has dropped by nearly 2,000 yuan/ton in the past month!
According to the data monitored by China Silk City Network, the sales of conventional fabrics in the past month have been Profits are on an upward trend.
The editor also learned that the current profit of a water-jet loom making polyester taffeta is about 50 yuan, so 100 water-jet looms The price of a water-jet loom is around RMB 150,000 a month. In the early days when raw materials surged, the profit of a machine was only about RMB 20. Compared with the previous period, the profit of a water-jet loom is still okay. In addition, the raw materials have dropped in the past month. Although the price of fabrics has dropped by 2,000 yuan/ton, there is a certain lag in the price drop of fabrics. At present, the price of fabrics has dropped by the most by 0.1 yuan/meter. According to common sense, this is a good time for the factory to purchase raw materials! However, according to the production and sales data monitored by China Silk City Network, weaving manufacturers have not been very eager to stock up recently.
Why is there such a big contrast? Why don’t weaving factories take advantage of this opportunity to buy more raw materials? Among them What’s the reason?
High inventory in weaving factories
From the inventory of weaving factories monitored by China Silk Capital Network, it can be seen that the current inventory of gray fabrics in weaving factories in Shengze is 33-34 days old. Manufacturer inventories are at high levels.
Manager Zhang of Wujiang Jiabin Jet Weaving Factory said that the factory currently has a large inventory of gray fabrics, and we have 60 looms Around 30,000 meters of cloth are produced in one day, but we also have 400,000 meters of inventory, so the current priority is to consume the inventory. In addition, the raw materials stored previously have not been used up, so we still adopt a conservative attitude when hoarding raw materials.
The high-priced raw materials in the early stage have not been consumed yet
As we all know, the cycle for weaving manufacturers to purchase raw materials is fixed. Yes, it lasts from one month to three months. Currently, many weaving manufacturers say that many high-priced raw materials they previously stocked have not been completely consumed, so the current cost of raw materials is still high. In this case, they will not stock more raw materials. of. Manager Ni of Wujiang Jiajian Textile said that a lot of high-priced raw materials purchased in the early stage have not been used up. Now the raw materials have fallen sharply. Calculated this way, it is still a loss. In addition, many receivables have not been received. How about using the funds to stock up on raw materials?
The market demand is average, buy some raw materials and use them
The market in the second half of this year is very average, even many manufacturers Everyone is planning to take a holiday in advance. Furthermore, due to the mild winter this year, traders are afraid to stock up on cold-proof fabrics, resulting in a mediocre supply of cold-proof fabrics on the market.
The market was booming in the first half of this year, and many orders were completed in the first half of the year. As a result, the order situation in the second half of the year was also average. Now the operating rate of weaving manufacturers is also showing a downward trend. From the data monitored by China Silk Capital Network, it can be seen that the current operating rate of Shengze weaving manufacturers is around 80%.
Orders and market demand are average, which leads to mediocre production enthusiasm of weaving manufacturers. For the purchase of raw materials, no matter how low it is The price cannot sway the hearts of manufacturers. Nowadays, most manufacturers adopt the strategy of buying a little, using a little, and buying as you go.
Conclusion
In addition to the current market demand, gray fabric inventory and raw material costs are the reasons that affect whether weaving manufacturers stock up on raw materials. Funding is also a big reason. Some manufacturers said that if the funds are not withdrawn, how can they get the money to stock up on more raw materials. There are also manufacturers who have a mentality of buying up and not buying down. Therefore, even though the raw materials are already at the low price in the second half of the year, they still want to see if the polyester yarn can drop further. Affected by various reasons, manufacturers are not very willing to buy raw materials that are now considered low-priced. </p
