In mid-to-late June, the market gradually enters the off-season, but there are more and more scattered small orders for autumn and winter fabrics. As mentioned last time, although the off-season atmosphere in the market is strong now, it does not affect the rise of autumn and winter fabrics.
“At the end of May, a customer placed a trial order for 20,000 meters of polyester, nylon and cotton. In early June, after the customer confirmed the order, he placed an additional order of 50,000 meters. Then two days ago, he placed an additional order of 100,000 meters. According to the customer’s instructions, I think we will continue to add orders in the future,” said a textile boss.
Facts have proved that there have indeed been many orders for autumn and winter fabrics in the market recently, and for textile bosses, having orders now, regardless of whether there is profit or not, is an unexpected surprise in the off-season.
It looks like the market will be very good in the second half of the year.
Judging from the current delivery situation of autumn and winter fabrics, textile bosses still have good expectations for the second half of the year. In the first half of the year, due to the epidemic sweeping Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the textile market was like a “stagnant water”. It should have been the peak season for gold, silver and silver. It is lighter than the off-season, but based on the market reaction, many textile bosses actually said that there are orders, but the profits are not much.
“The profit from this order we received is only one or two cents, but under the current circumstances, being able to receive such an order is better than having no weaving inventory. Overall, it is very good.” The textile boss said.
Whether the market can improve in the second half of the year mainly depends on whether the epidemic can be stabilized. Assuming there is no recurrence, the market in the second half of the year may be like previous years, and some orders will still be placed. Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be sudden orders like when construction started this year. A “critical hit”, in this case, the second half of the year is expected to be uncertain again. At present, we cannot give a definite answer, we can only wait quietly.
Of course, we must not be like last year’s Nisi Fang, which sells hot products all at once. Whether it is a real demand or a mindless following, or a unanimous belief that it will be a “cold winter”, in the end, the inventory will be full.
But even if the inventory is full, the textile boss will not stop the machine easily…
Downtime or loss-making production, which one to choose?
There is no doubt that most textile bosses will still choose to continue production. Although demand has decreased a lot due to the epidemic in recent years, this does not mean that there are no orders in the market. On the contrary, what many textile bosses complain about this year is not the lack of orders, but the acceptance of orders. There is no profit on orders placed.
When no profits become the norm in the market, will it be possible to stop taking orders and producing?
Life still has to go by. Between downtime and loss-making production, textile bosses will definitely continue to operate. As the weather gets hotter, weaving factories will take turns or even stop production due to high temperatures, power cuts and other irresistible factors. Don’t worry. It is said that we have not yet entered this stage. Even if the hot weather really comes, the textile boss will only stop for a day or two, and then find ways to continue production later.
However, now that raw materials are at a high level, textile bosses must be cautious about production and inventory even if they do not shut down the machine. If the high-cost inventory is difficult to sell later, it will cost money. Are you really willing to sell it at a low price?
In short, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The opening and closing of the factory may be the final bottom line for textile bosses…
