As the “seed player” in the first half of the year, imitation silk has indeed not disappointed many textile bosses this year. Now that the off-season has come, is its sales volume good?
“Our current orders have not changed and have been very good. We are engaged in domestic trade, and our customers are exporting garments. The orders on hand can be completed until the end of the month.” Mr. Yao, who owns 200 looms, said.
“The factory’s current operating rate has reached 100%, which is unchanged from May. The company’s orders have not improved recently. We are mainly engaged in foreign trade, and now we basically have no orders on hand.” Mr. Chen, who specializes in imitation silk fabrics, said.
“Our order situation is still good. There was not enough to sell in the early stage. Now the order can last until mid-to-early July.” said Mr. Tong, who is engaged in domestic sales.
“The factory is currently running 80% of the machines, which is down a bit compared to last month. Orders have dropped a lot compared to May. We can now do it in mid-to-late June.” Mr. Li, who owns 400 looms, said.
It can be seen from the above statement of the textile boss that the current market situation of artificial silk orders is relatively good. Although it is not as good as the peak season, there is no situation where there is no order to weave. However, the two-level differentiation is indeed very serious.
It’s not enough to sell, it’s basically a hot seller
Speaking of the hot sales of simulated silk this year, actually every variety has been selling well for a while. According to Mr. Tong, “The sales of simulated silk have been pretty good since the beginning of the year. Except for high-twisted hemp, the sales of stretch satin and imitation acetate are average.” , high-twist chiffon, and CEY plain weave have all been hot sellers for a while.
In the first three years of the imitation silk products, due to special reasons, the gold, three, silver and four products that were supposed to be hot-selling were basically in a slow-selling state. Many imitation silk factories did not even receive orders. This year, as the first gold, three, silver and four products after the opening up, The resurgence of artificial silk is also expected. Of course, with the advent of the off-season, the decrease in single volume is also expected.
“Sales from February to May are much better than the previous two years, and the sales situation is much better than last year. Now that the off-season is here, there are no orders for imitation silk.” said Mr. Li, who owns 400 looms.
“The sales volume of artificial silk this year is better than last year. There were fewer new orders in June. A while ago, there were orders of 50,000 meters and 100,000 meters.” said Mr. Tong, who is engaged in domestic sales.
“This year we are much better than last year. The first two years were particularly bad and difficult, but this year is much better.” said Mr. Yao, who owns 200 looms.
“The first two weeks of this year’s imitation silk shipments were okay, much better than last year. I haven’t received any new orders recently, and they have all been delivered.” said Mr. Chen, who specializes in imitation silk fabrics.
Overall, the order situation is indeed much better than in previous years. Textile bosses are also very busy. Off-season orders can last until at least the end of June, but they really can’t make much money.
Profit is always unspeakable hardship
It can be said that even if the sales volume of artificial silk has been good in recent years, the profit situation has not been very good. Some conventional old products have even suffered losses. The volume of local artificial silk is very large, and naturally it will not be “valuable” when there are too many items.
“Currently, the inventory is not high, but the profit is not high. If the price is high, others will not buy it. The competition is quite fierce.” Mr. Yao, who owns 200 looms, said.
“Now the price cannot go up at all, and the price profit is about the same as last year.” said Mr. Tong, who is engaged in domestic sales.
“We are all domestic sales, and our customers are exporters. If their profits are low, they will find ways to lower prices from us, so our profits cannot be high.” said Mr. Zhou, who is mainly engaged in nylon spinning.
Not only the profits of imitation silk are not good, but also the profits of other fabrics are not high. Customers have become accustomed to lowering prices, and low prices have become the only way to obtain orders. The same is true for jet products. As mentioned earlier, 5 million meters of golden cotton are outsourced. That’s it. The machine profit of 50 yuan/day is really very good for air-jet products. In the off-season, textile bosses are more pursuing how to start the machine stably. As for profits, as long as they don’t lose money, that’s fine.
Most textile bosses are still not optimistic about the market for simulated silk in the second half of the year. After all, it has already shown its prowess in the first half of this year. The second half of the year is a special event for autumn and winter down jacket fabrics such as nylon spinning. Naturally, the popularity of simulated silk will fall back. .
In general, now is the off-season, so don’t pay too much attention to the slowdown in the market. Both machines and workers always need to take a break and adjust for a period of time to better prepare for the peak season in the second half of the year.
