In the past few days, high temperatures have persisted in many parts of our country. The Central Meteorological Observatory will continue to issue high temperature orange warnings at 6:00 on July 13. Among them, the maximum temperature in some areas of Anhui, central and southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, western and eastern Hubei, most of Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and most of Fujian is 37 to 39 degrees Celsius. ℃.
Textile factories are on holiday due to high temperatures, and the operating rate drops
This week, the Shengze area ushered in a high temperature of 40°C, which was a difficult test for workers in the textile industry. However, without considering the safety and health of workers, many factories have begun high temperature holidays. It is understood that at present, more than half of the weaving factories on the market have started high-temperature holidays, most of which last for 3-7 days, and a few of which last for 2 weeks. The same is true for printing and dyeing factories. Some factories are closed during the day and only open at night to avoid high temperatures.
In fact, the hot weather only lasts for a week, and the temperature will drop next week, but some factories have a two-week long holiday. Although high temperature is the direct trigger of factory holidays, it is obvious that high inventory is the root cause of factory holidays. At present, under the influence of the off-season, there is a serious lack of orders, the delivery speed of conventional gray fabrics has slowed down, and the inventory of weaving factories has continued to rise, and has now reached the highest point of 36.8 days during the year.
Holidays are actually about reducing inventory
After 1-2 weeks of production suspension, there will be no increase in fresh gray fabrics, and a small part of the original inventory will be sold. Although the inventory will not be cleared out, it will also play a certain role in reducing the inventory. At the same time, working in hot weather is indeed risky, especially in the textile industry, where the workshop temperature is higher, and it is very heartwarming for companies to have holidays. However, for some companies that receive immediate weaving orders, a long-term holiday is not feasible. The orders on hand must be delivered on time, so they can only avoid the three hottest days. The same applies to printing and dyeing factories. Except for some special holidays, they will not suspend production. However, in order to prevent workers from heat stroke, they can only change from the original 24-hour operation to night operation.
An owner of a weaving factory specializing in the production of pongee said: “The temperature has been too high recently and workers have to take vacation. However, we currently have an urgent order of tens of thousands of meters to produce, so we can only take it for three days during the hottest period.” Production will continue soon. Unlike those manufacturers that produce ready-made products, they must be kept for at least 7 days.”
In recent years, high temperature holidays seem to have become an annual tradition, and what keeps this “tradition” going is the high inventory. The commonplace problem of overcapacity is that as of the end of 2020, the scale of water-jet looms in original industrial clusters such as southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian was approximately 430,000 units; the number of water-jet looms in emerging industrial clusters such as northern Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, and Jiangxi The scale is about 250,000 units.
Calculated in this way, the production capacity of emerging water-jet looms transferred to northern Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places in the past two years has exceeded the 200,000-unit mark, far exceeding the number of water-jet looms eliminated by traditional textile clusters in the Yangtze River Delta region . In addition, whether it is a traditional textile cluster or an emerging textile cluster, due to the influence of indicators, policies, efficiency and other factors, the speed of upgrading water-jet looms has been greatly accelerated. This has resulted in the current average gray fabric production capacity of the same machine being far higher. More than in the past, it has further aggravated the problem of overcapacity.
At the same time, the domestic market has been greatly affected by the epidemic this year, causing the problem of overcapacity to intensify. The recovery of the entire industry requires a process. This year’s off-season will indeed be difficult, but the traditional peak season in the second half of the year is bound to be much better than the first half, or a good opportunity to destock. The current holiday and production suspension is to recuperate and recuperate. It is not a lack of confidence in the market, but to better prepare for the second half of the year.
Over the past few days, high temperatures have persisted in many parts of our country. The Central Meteorological Observatory will continue to issue high temperature orange warnings at 6:00 on July 13. Among them, the maximum temperature in some areas of Anhui, central and southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, western and eastern Hubei, most of Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and most of Fujian is 37 to 39 degrees Celsius. ℃.
