With the pace of the traditional textile peak season of gold, three and silver disappearing, do you think the textile market will usher in the off-season in May?
NO! NO! NO!
Let’s get to the point and take a look at the dialogue between fabric traders and imitation silk weaving manufacturers!
Almost similar conversations also appeared in the mouths of many imitation silk traders! Not only Shengze area, but also textile merchants such as Keqiao Market are facing the same problem – waiting for goods! Price increase!
It is reported that since March, some fabrics in the textile market have been in a booming sales season – imitation silk products are undoubtedly the hottest. In addition to 75D chiffon and 100D chiffon, imitation silk products, such as 75D, 100D tangled hemp, 30D smooth crepe, SPH fabrics, etc., have become “hot products” in the market. Not only are their market shares gradually expanding, but they are also prosperous. Since then, there has also been a situation where “a piece of cloth is hard to find”.
Out of stock, if it’s not an urgent order, we’ll just wait a moment! However, the price of fabrics is also constantly rising, and some hot-selling products are even “priced up every day”. Some manufacturers are even unwilling to quote prices for future orders, saying they are not sure. Not long ago, we were discussing that weaving manufacturers should buy raw materials when it is time to buy them. Traders must also look at the right time to buy fabrics and place orders when they need to. Otherwise, the money lost will be heavy.
Why exactly? Whether it is chiffon, smooth crepe, flower crepe, tangled hemp, etc., all imitation silk products are in a state of “hot sale – out of stock – price increase”.
According to the author’s visit, on the one hand, of course, imitation silk products are in season sales. Since imitation silks such as chiffon, tangled hemp, and crepe tend to be light and thin, they are mostly suitable for the production of spring, summer and early autumn clothing fabrics. In previous years, the imitation silk series has always been a hot-selling season, but this year the popularity is even more obvious.
Of course, in the face of this situation, in fact, part of the reason also lies in the transfer of market orders and the stockpiling of goods by traders in Keqiao and other areas. In the previous stage, Jiaxing Xiuzhou District introduced the strictest standards for improving the weaving industry in history. The Xiuzhou District government required that water-jet looms in the district face rectification and improvement, and 10,000 water-jet looms must be rectified and retired; this will inevitably have a negative impact on There are certain order transfers in the surrounding Shengze Market and Keqiao Market. There are also some Keqiao traders who directly purchase gray fabrics from the Shengze market to stock up and wait for prices to sell, further widening the demand gap.
There is also the problem of reduced supply in the artificial silk market in the past two years. Because silk-like fabrics suddenly fell out of favor in the past few years, there was not only a seasonal reduction in demand, but also a series of fatal problems such as fabric profit compression, inventory increase, and overcapacity; leading some weaving manufacturers to switch to other varieties. , the overall market supply has decreased. With the surge in market demand in the past two years, the shortage of supply has become apparent; some weaving manufacturers that insist on producing imitation silk such as chiffon and hemp have not only eliminated the inventory accumulated in the previous two years, but are now selling as much as they can weave. Full of orders!
How long will this wave of artificial silk “craze” last? Unpredictable! I can only sigh that the fabric market is also changing, “taking turns to be the boss”! Stretch fabrics, which were extremely popular in the past two years, suddenly “cold” in the market this year, showing a decline in volume and price; while the “low-key” imitation silk in the early stage has become a “sudden rise”! Whose turn will it be in the next wave of fabric hot spots? Oxford cloth? Suede? Interwoven fabrics?
