In the past two days, the editor went to investigate the situation in the printing and dyeing factory. I remembered some of my brothers who were working as salesmen in the dyeing factory, so I called them excitedly. Who would have thought that these friends said that they are not in the dyeing factory now? I did it and have already changed jobs. One of them said: “I haven’t changed jobs in the first half of this year, but I have been unemployed for most of the year. I really can’t afford to rest on my laurels.” Although I didn’t ask about the current situation of the printing and dyeing factory. , but it also reflects from the side that the current situation in dyeing factories is not satisfactory.
There is no more work left in the dyeing factory
Like in previous years, the market may not be good, but there will always be a few days when the dyeing factory will have a liquidation situation. On the other hand, this year’s dyeing factories have not heard of any liquidation at the end of the year. The main reason is that the industry is affected by the epidemic this year. The impact was so great that many printing and dyeing companies stopped production or even went bankrupt during this crisis. As the weather vane of the market is so bleak, the fabric market is definitely not optimistic either.
It can be seen that the situation of textile orders this year is not very good. During the peak season, many bosses said that orders dropped by nearly 20% compared to previous years. The reaction from dyeing factories is that in previous years, goods that had to wait for half a month could be completed in only 7 days. Not to mention that after the peak season, the process card in the hands of the director of a certain dyeing factory can only be maintained for three days of work. Now that it is approaching the end of the year, the market has become increasingly deserted, and many textile bosses have difficulty accepting orders. , fewer and fewer orders are transmitted to printing and dyeing factories.
Dyeing factory startups are still declining
Because there is less and less work on hand, printing and dyeing factories are having a hard time. According to data monitoring from Silkdu.com, the operating rate of dyeing factories in Shengze this week is only 55.4%. As we can see from the picture below, printing and dyeing factories at this time in previous years The operating rate is still rising. This year is quite different from previous years. It is worth noting that the operating rate during the peak season this year has not changed much from that during the off-season. They are both around 60-70%. There is no intention of rising.
At this time, some readers must have something to say. The lowest startup rate seen in this picture is not this year. This cannot be explained. In fact, except for all the troughs in the picture above this year, there are two reasons: environmental protection production restrictions and the Chinese New Year holiday. Apart from these times, we can basically maintain a good startup state. And this year has the same weakness from beginning to end, and naturally there is no bottom. , and the boss of the post-finishing company jokingly said: “If it’s environmentally friendly this year, just be environmentally friendly, it’s the same anyway.”
The order volume is limited, and continuing to reduce production capacity is not a long-term solution. Dyeing factories do not have the same cost advantage as weaving factories. With the price reduction of upstream chemical fiber raw materials, weaving companies can confidently lower the price of gray fabrics significantly. However, the price reduction of dye costs in dyeing factories is quite limited. Secondly, the production costs of dyeing factories are scattered, including rent, water, electricity, gas, labor, fire protection, environmental protection, etc., which are very complex. Dyestuffs alone are not enough to have much impact on dyeing costs. Dyeing factories that take the initiative to significantly reduce prices may sacrifice a lot, but they can only make a profit at a loss.
The order is not enough
Although the overall market situation this year looks very bleak, there are still people who can make money. A veteran salesman of a dyeing factory with more than 30 years said: “This year’s business expenses are not particularly different from previous years. They are basically the same.” So it is the same as that of weaving. The market is the same. Although the cake in the market has become smaller, there are still people who can eat the cake.
From now on, the market situation will only become weaker and weaker. The repeat orders during the “Double Twelve” and Christmas season may only be sporadic small orders. In the face of the overall market situation, textile people can only follow the trend. Quietly wait for the market to arrive. Precisely because of the market’s lack of confidence in the later market, the weaving operation rate is also declining and is currently around 63.1%.
From this point of view, the current willingness of upstream weaving factories to stop operations and reduce load has increased compared with before. Therefore, the possibility of early holiday for dyeing factories cannot be ruled out. The current operating rate of most dyeing factories is still at a low level, and there is still the possibility of another decline at the end of the month. It is expected that the printing and dyeing start-up rate will be mainly weak in the short term.
