“The market has been deserted recently, and many customers are hoarding nylon silk at low prices. They have put their hopes in this winter.” A textile boss in Shengze area said.
Although this year is the off-season, orders in June But there are many surprises, and autumn and winter fabrics such as nylon nylon, pongee, and four-way elastic are also extremely popular. Nisi nylon has been selling well since April, and four-way elastic is even more powerful after the New Year. It is everywhere now. A textile boss once said that the popularity of 400T pongee can be maintained until October. However, orders began to gradually decrease from July, but there are still textile bosses who are able to maintain good orders. At the same time, a series of worries followed one after another…
Rising raw material prices and rising costs
At present, although the order speed has begun to slow down since July, most textile bosses still have orders on hand to maintain, and most of them last about 15-25 days. The biggest problem now is the increase in raw material prices. Costs have risen, and textile bosses’ already slim profits have become even thinner.
Since the end of June, the polyester factory has canceled its once-a-week promotion routine and started to increase prices once a day. The price increases have continued for a long time. In half a month, the current price of polyester yarn is almost reaching its highest level in March next year.
It is now the off-season, although there are orders on hand, However, the textile boss does not dare to raise prices rashly. The market is already average, and merchants just want to stock up on goods at low prices. If the textile boss increases the price, there is a high possibility that customers will not accept it. If the order is lost, there will be no chance to make money. This makes the textile boss very distressed.
The problems faced by textile bosses are not only cost and profit issues, but also delivery issues…
Workers asked for leave during hot weather, and delivery was delayed!
“Several workers in our factory have asked for leave. It’s extremely hot in the workshop on such a hot day. It’s 37 or 8 degrees outside, and it’s like a steam oven inside. , even if some workshops have air conditioning, they are still too hot.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
This summer is later than before. But it is hotter than before. The highest temperature in the past few days has reached 37 or 38 degrees Celsius. In previous years, workers suffered from heat stroke on hot days, so people asking for leave on hot days also often happen.
However, when the order is placed, the customer usually informs the weaver of the delivery time. Usually the weaver can deliver the goods within the agreed time, but because now workers Asking for leave, coupled with the recent production limit, power rationing and other reasons, the textile boss cannot ship on time, so the textile boss cannot ship the goods in time. Customers who are easy to talk to may be relaxed for a few days, but customers who are not easy to talk to will have corresponding deductions from the payment. Some fees.
Textile bosses, don’t worry, there is still hope for the future!
July passes quickly , it seems that it is already the second half of the year, and many textile bosses are facing many difficulties. However, judging from the current market stocking situation, everyone seems to have high hopes for autumn and winter fabrics in the second half of the year. Starting from the hot nylon spinning in April, all kinds of autumn and winter fabrics It started to get heated up slowly. Moreover, some textile people have already predicted that this winter may be a cold one, so there is no need to worry about no orders for autumn and winter fabrics.
But it seems that the current situation will Just like after the Chinese New Year, spring and summer fabrics were hot for a while, but in April and May, orders for spring and summer fabrics dropped sharply, causing many imitation silk manufacturers in the market to suffer.
Such a situation is not impossible, but with the popularization of vaccines starting in the second half of the year, I believe that foreign markets will soon return to normal and foreign trade will get back on track. Naturally, a large number of orders will be placed. However, we still cannot relax our vigilance against the old problems of overcapacity and inventory backlog that should be prevented.
Not bad, I believe we can receive a large wave of orders in the second half of this year.
