Recently, the popularity of elastic fabrics in the market has not been as popular as in the early days. With the decline of spandex raw materials, four-way elastic products have gradually lost their luster…
“Recently, the market for twisted nylon four-way elastic fabric has dropped, and the price has dropped from 6.8 yuan/meter to 6.3 yuan/meter. Rice, the market is almost uninterested, but there are still weaving bosses who are willing to spend money to open hundreds of looms for production and inventory. It is too risky to bet that the market will improve in the future!” said a textile boss in Shengze area. .
This is a “big gamble”, life and death only happen in a moment!
For textile bosses, this is indeed a big gamble. The output of hundreds of looms is very large. Although the cost of raw materials has dropped, it is still If the market does not reach the low level, if the market can improve, it is certain to make a lot of money, but if the market is difficult to turn around, there may be only a “dead end”.
Four-way stretch products are different from other stretch fabrics. This kind of fabric is more expensive and cannot be stored for a long time, and the storage environment depends on the gray fabric. If you have too much production inventory, you must be prepared to face huge losses.
Although it has been mentioned before that four or five All four-way stretch products are sold in 2018, but this is always an exception. Most four-way elastic products will cause the spandex yarn to break if stored for a long time, making the width of the fabric larger and less elastic. Inelastic stretch fabrics can only be sold as treatment fabrics. , so it is conceivable that the above-mentioned textile boss was under psychological pressure to take this risk.
Can this “adventure” succeed?
However, this big adventure is not impossible to succeed. First of all, products such as four-sided elastic are like myths in this year’s textile market. They are hot-selling when they are 4″, and they are also hot-selling during the off-season in May and June. If you go to the market and ask the textile bosses in the sales department what fabrics are hot-selling this year, they will all tell you that it is four-way elastic.
Secondly, where is the demand for four-sided bullet products? Most four-way elastic products are suitable for use all year round and have a wide range of uses. In recent years, stretchy fabrics have already occupied a certain position in the market. Even if they cannot be sold now, they will still be available next year. It doesn’t matter if you sell it or keep it for half a year or a year. When the market is good, the price of gray fabrics can be increased, and the price of raw materials will also rise accordingly, especially for spandex yarn. The reason why spandex manufacturers have joined together to raise prices this year is because the four-way stretch products are selling well, so they have risen. I can’t stop and imagine that the current price of spandex yarn may be low next year.
Finally, in the second half of the year, four-way elastic products may not be as popular as “professional” autumn and winter fabrics such as T8 and T400, but I believe that as long as the market improves, such fabrics will definitely It is possible to place an order. But ultimately it still depends on whether the market can improve in the second half of the year?
Can the market improve in the second half of the year?
According to the current situation, it is still unknown whether the market will improve in the second half of the year. It is now September, which is the first month of the peak season in the second half of the year. We should have received a lot of orders in June, but the market situation reported by most textile bosses is still mediocre. Of course, the lack of orders now is because there were too many orders placed in June, and they were all orders stocked by traders. , As a result, there is actually a large amount of inventory on the market that has not yet been digested.
However, judging from the situation of the epidemic market last year, This year should not be very deserted. Whether the market can improve now depends on the epidemic abroad and the temperature situation this winter. Now go to the market and ask textile bosses what the situation will be like in the second half of the year, even if you have been engaged in textiles for 20 years. It is difficult for career veterans to give a definite answer. After all, there are many uncertainties in the textile market. But from the editor’s point of view, there will still be a wave of concentrated orders in the second half of the year. As for when? It may be mid-September or early October. Of course, before this day comes, all conclusions are just speculation.
So, fellow textile bosses, do you think the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” will give the market a satisfactory answer?
