Recently, the textile friends around me have been extremely “excited” in their circle of friends. The editor was very puzzled and asked someone to ask about it. The conversation is as follows:
From this point of view, the recent “Silver Four” in the fabric market is really coming. As the temperature rises, the recent sales of light and thin fabrics have steadily increased. According to data monitored by China Silk City Network, the index of chemical fiber fabrics has continued to rise. Days.
Not only that, when my colleagues of the editor visited the dyeing factory two days ago, they found that there were a large number of gray fabrics piled outside the workshop of Wujiang Bailu Dyeing Factory, and the workers in the workshop were also busy. According to the salesman of the dyeing factory, recently The peach skin velvet and imitation linen fabrics from Shengze were about to be sold out. When I received this news, I was shocked. Since imitation linen fabrics are so popular, is the imitation linen yarn upstream of it also entering the peak sales season? ? The editor immediately asked a friend who makes special ingredients:
Regarding this issue, the editor was also very puzzled, so I asked the boss of Baichuan Weaving. He said: “Currently weaving companies are not sure about the rise and fall of raw materials. It is normal to have gray fabrics and raw materials in stock in the early stage. This phenomenon should be an isolated phenomenon, after all, there is more than one company selling imitation linen yarn.” This makes sense, but there is another phenomenon that puzzles the editor even more. As a yarn junior editor, the market for chemical fiber fabrics is just incidental. Understand that my main business is to pay attention to the cotton spinning market! It has been observed that since the reserve cotton was released, the price of cotton has fallen, but the cotton yarn has not. The editor explained this phenomenon in a previous article, but the “plot” has reversed in the past two days.
Recently, the price of cotton yarn has dropped slightly in the market, which has caused concerns among cotton textile enterprises. According to some manufacturers, the shipment speed of cotton yarn has also slowed down these days. Is the good old days of cotton yarn coming to an end? The boss of a yarn factory in Gaoyang, Hebei Province gave the answer: “On the 12th, the price of blended yarn in this factory fell by 100-150 yuan/ton, among which the price of polyester-cotton yarn 21S 65/35 was 14,500 yuan/ton, and the price of 32S 65/35 was 14,500 yuan/ton. The price is 15,500 yuan/ton. The main reason for the decline in the price of polyester and cotton yarn is the slow sales progress and the weak price of polyester staple fiber. Moreover, there will be a discount of about 200 yuan when the actual order is completed.”
In addition, the editor learned that the price of pure cotton yarn has also dropped slightly. The price of conventional varieties 21S and 32S has dropped by about 100 yuan, while the price of combed 32S and 40S has been relatively strong. In fact, the main reason for the fall in cotton yarn prices is downstream demand. According to the survey, as the weather gets warmer and the off-season for pure cotton gray fabrics comes, in addition to denim, cotton gauze, cotton canvas, poplin, corduroy, etc. all have poor sales, and prices have also fallen.
Why are cotton fabrics slow to sell when the peak season for chemical fiber fabrics is approaching? The editor visited the market, and the person in charge of Kaixing Textile said: “This happens every year in the cotton spinning market. First of all, when the weather is hot, people will sweat. Although cotton clothing is good in comfort, it does not cause sweating. It is not as good as chemical fiber fabrics in terms of sweat resistance. Secondly, in summer clothing, chemical fiber fabrics can be made more diversified and better meet the needs of customers. The last and main reason is that as we all know, summer clothing can be said to be ‘Consumer goods’ consume a lot of money, and the price of cotton fabrics is much higher than that of chemical fiber fabrics, so during this period of time, it is very common for chemical fiber fabrics to sell well and cotton fabrics to be unsaleable.”
In fact, the editor believes that there is another reason that is also very important. As a textile town, Shengze is also the largest chemical fiber fabric production base in the country. , finishing and a complete industrial chain of clothing. In Shengze, the proportion of chemical fiber fabrics is much higher than that of cotton fabrics, so it is understandable that the sales volume of cotton fabrics is lower.
To sum up, as the temperature continues to rise, the peak season of chemical fiber fabrics will continue, the so-called “Gold, Silver, Four Reds in May”, but at the same time, companies that make cotton fabrics should not slack off, after all, cotton has its own advantages It is an irreplaceable advantage. Even if the off-season comes, we must be fully prepared to welcome the arrival of the next peak season!
