Although the overall fabric market has been sluggish in July, the popularity of pongee fabrics has not diminished. Not only has the gray fabric market become busy again in the past few days.
Chun Yafang sells well, but the price is low
According to market feedback, the recent shipment volume of pongee is acceptable. The large trucks that come back and forth every day for loading must contain pongee. According to the manufacturer of pongee, at least one trailer is shipped every day. Dyeing factories can also see a large number of pongee gray fabrics constantly entering the warehouse. According to the salesperson of the dyeing factory, the amount of pongee fabrics currently entering the warehouse is outstanding, accounting for 1/3 of the daily volume.
An owner of a polyester taffeta and pongee manufacturer said helplessly: “The sales volume of pongee this year is actually pretty good, and there are always shipments, but there is still a big difference compared with previous years. More importantly, the price is too low. , the profit is particularly poor. In addition, the price of raw materials has fluctuated greatly recently, and many orders are losing money.”
But at the same time, there are still many manufacturers selling goods, eager to clear inventory and return funds. The editor saw in the circle of friends that a cloth boss was selling goods: 240T pongee white 1.4 yuan/meter, dyed 1.43 yuan/meter.
It is understood that the current price of 240T pongee gray fabric on the market is 1.5 yuan/meter. Of course, the quality corresponding to this price is naturally for market orders. In other words, the whitening price of the above-mentioned cloth boss is 0.1 yuan/meter higher than the price of general gray cloth, while the dyeing price is 0.13 yuan/meter higher than that of gray cloth. According to the market price, the dyeing fee for 240T pongee in a general printing and dyeing factory is 0.8-1.0 yuan/meter. The editor wants to ask, is this price a loss?
Last year, the price of 240T pongee could be sold for 2.4 yuan/meter, which has dropped by 1.1 yuan/meter compared with today. However, the price of raw materials this year is extremely high, but the price of gray cloth has dropped so much. It can be seen that under the drag of the epidemic in the first half of the year, the market competition for goods sales was very fierce, which was the reason why the price of 240T pongee gray fabric was so low.
The output of pongee is large and the competition is fierce.
The most conventional gray fabrics such as pongee can be produced by any machine, and the threshold is very low. This is also an important reason for its overcapacity. Another reason is that because of its regularity, the demand is large. If you produce inventory in the off-season, you will inevitably choose this type of regular variety to produce it to reduce inventory risks. As a result, the inventory of pongee is bound to be larger than that of other varieties.
As of the end of 2020, the scale of water-jet looms in original industrial clusters such as southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian is approximately 430,000 units; the scale of water-jet looms in emerging industrial clusters such as northern Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, and Jiangxi is approximately 250,000 units. Most of the machines in the original industrial clusters are producing conventional varieties such as pongee, and now emerging industrial clusters are the main production areas of conventional fabrics. Therefore, the establishment of emerging industrial clusters has increased the competitive pressure on conventional gray fabrics. The overcapacity of this type of fabric is even more prominent. Moreover, according to the above-mentioned pongee selling price, we can know that the vast majority of manufacturers that can offer such low prices come from emerging industrial clusters. Only this type of weaving factories can keep costs to the lowest. Southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are completely Lose the competitive advantage of low prices.
In view of the prominent conflicts in the industrial chain and the deepening of the current off-season, it is a very good performance that Chunya Textile can maintain the sales trend. At present, the factory is in a deserted stage, and most of the on-machine production orders are bulk orders, and early proofing orders have not yet been implemented. The order volume dropped, and the inventory of gray fabrics in the factory increased again due to poor new orders. According to data monitoring from Silkdu.com, the inventory of gray fabrics in Shengze area currently stands at 36.8 days, which has risen to the highest point during the year.
Autumn and winter orders for pongee have started
As early as early June, the domestic sales market began to weaken and gradually entered the off-season, but the foreign trade market ushered in an improvement. The most important thing is that foreign orders for autumn and winter fabrics have been started, and some orders have been placed, but they are characterized by small quantities and fast speed. Among them, pongee is one of the main autumn and winter clothing fabrics, especially most commonly used in jackets, parkas, down jackets, cotton jackets and other types.
A person in charge of a trading company said: “At present, some domestic clothing brands have already placed orders for autumn and winter, mainly for some autumn and winter fabrics such as pongee and nylon. But now it is gradually starting, and it is not obvious yet. The order quantity It’s not big, there will be more and more in the future.”
It can be seen that the autumn and winter orders in the domestic market are still in their infancy, and only a few big brands are at the forefront following the foreign market. Next, the sales of pongee will improve even more as orders for autumn and winter fabrics are placed. After the domestic Double Eleven e-commerce sales season starts, the sales speed of pongee will be further accelerated.
