The textile market is bleak. As the Golden Nine and Silver Ten are approaching, the market has still not improved. Textile people have shouted that “business is difficult to do.” I once heard news that a textile boss in Yiwu, Zhejiang, was facing a shortage of raw materials and could not buy them. He was unable to complete millions of clothing orders on time. If he did not deliver on time, he would have to pay a liquidated damages of 1 million, so the boss set fire to it. In the past two years, due to the epidemic and other reasons, many printing and dyeing factories, textile factories, and clothing factories have disbanded and closed down.
Textile people’s business is becoming more and more bleak. It is difficult to survive when there is no business. The price of raw materials has risen to a high level. This embarrassing situation has also forced many textile people to become “Buddhist”. “If there is an order, just take it, if there is no order, just play, anyway, just don’t close the door.” This has also become the attitude of most textile people. A true portrayal of the heart. Is there really no way out of this dire situation?
Placing early orders early may make the peak season less busy
Although August was in the off-season in the past Among them, various samples are being searched and sampled, and preliminary preparations are being made for the upcoming peak season. However, the market seems relatively quiet this year. The person in charge of a textile store in the market said that there are very few people looking for samples in the market recently. They have no source of new customers, and the few orders they make are from old customers for many years. The European and American markets, which are in the midst of the epidemic, are hard-pressed by city closures and production suspensions to devote more energy to textile production. Without proofing and setting out in the early stage, it will be difficult to place substantive orders later.
“Cotton is roaring, polyester is barking, rayon is laughing, polyester is jumping, nylon yarn is croaking, spandex is roaring, and the cost of raw materials is rising. I have a high fever, and the previous quotations are invalid. We can’t even imagine the price increase. There is no regret medicine in the market. Yesterday’s quotation is invalid. The prices are all in chaos.”
The continued price increase of raw materials will inevitably affect textile production. An important reason for the sluggish peak season at the beginning of the year is that the price of textile raw materials has risen sharply after the new year. As a result, the cost of orders received before the year has increased and normal production cannot be carried out. Some orders can only be postponed or cancelled. Raw material prices rise several times a week, including polyester filament, spandex, cotton, etc., putting greater pressure on weaving companies. While costs continue to rise, inventories are also rising, which makes cash flow tight and manufacturers are having a hard time. If there is a peak season, the upward trend may become even more fierce, and the market is likely to be hit by rising raw material prices.
Large orders continue to decrease, small orders should also be paid attention to
There are many problems in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang textile markets Small fabric merchants originally only had one or two stable long-term customers, and the original order quantity could well maintain the company’s operation. But once there is an emergency like the epidemic, the original stable customers become unstable, and large orders become small orders, making it difficult for fabric merchants to “feed”
Since the outbreak of this year, in addition to some suspended foreign trade orders, domestic orders or orders in production have The volume of external orders has also been reduced significantly. “Small batches and low batches” have become the characteristics of today’s orders. In short, for ordinary textile enterprises, orders of several thousand meters are currently normal, and large orders of tens of thousands of meters have been decreasing. When the epidemic was severe, Boss Youbu finally received an order with a quantity of 3,000 meters, but he was very emotional that he had received a big order!
Even if we receive an order of several hundred meters, it is still good. In the past, it was easy to be ignored by Boss Bu. First, the number of meters was too small, making it difficult to make a small tank, which was prone to problems. Second, the total profit was too small, and he was unwilling to spend energy to take such an order. For printing and dyeing factories, orders of a few hundred meters in the past were not considered orders at all, and no one took care of them. When the market burst, they might have to wait in line for a month. Such orders can be said to be “disliked” by others. But I didn’t expect that such a small order would allow a small business to run the company normally.
In addition to not putting eggs in one basket, you also have to treat steamed buns as solid food. As the saying goes, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat, and orders of several hundred meters are beginning to be taken seriously. I hope that the spring of the textile industry will come as soon as possible, and I also hope that textile people can accept large and small orders with ease!
