Towards the end of the year, the “power rationing” policy in many places has cast a nervous atmosphere on the market. It was supposed to be the season for replenishing goods at the end of the year, but recently there have been power cuts in Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places!
Some netizens complained online:
The person in charge of a clothing factory said that in accordance with relevant requirements, their factory has opened With the shutdown for four days a day, “all the production lines were disconnected. There was no other way. The workers couldn’t bear it, so they might as well go home early to celebrate the New Year.”
This wave of power cuts came unexpectedly, and it was very difficult for the workers to bear it. Production manufacturers have a greater impact. From a cost perspective, a 10-day suspension of production means that monthly production capacity is reduced by 1/3, but the costs that must be paid for employees, factory rent, etc. still exist, and 1/3 of the cost expenditure is wasted.
From the perspective of delivery time, the 10-day shutdown of the factory means that the original normal production schedule is disrupted, the supply of goods is not timely, and the delivery time may become even worse. Sure. In order to solve the problem of urgent orders, some traders can only transfer orders to surrounding areas that have not yet introduced power curtailment policies.
Recently, it is reported that the printing and dyeing market in Shengze area has improved. Some dyeing factories have a surge in warehouse purchases. In addition to downstream replenishment caused by the drop in temperature, there are also transfers of orders from other places, and there is trade. The merchant said that the processing time of the current order in the dyeing factory is obviously longer than last week, and the pressing time is also about a week.
Regardless of the market delivery issues caused by power rationing factors, resulting in an increase in regional orders, Recently, under the influence of market cooling and year-end stocking, the market has indeed released signals of improvement.
With price increases and stocking up, the market should be able to hold up in December!
“Recently, both domestic trade and foreign trade orders have improved compared to last week, especially foreign trade orders. Finally, inventories have stopped rising.” Mr. Wang, who specializes in imitation silk fabrics, said.
“Recently, our high-elastic pongee has been able to ship goods. I feel that the raw materials will not drop in the future, so customers are getting more goods than before. I feel that there will be orders after the year. It will also come down in the near future, and the market should be able to hold up in December.” said the person in charge of another textile company that produces pongee fabrics.
Regarding this round of market conditions, many textile companies said that due to the recent boost in the market from factors such as the rise in upstream raw materials and the major cooling, the atmosphere for downstream ordering has improved, and domestic demand is mainly It is a winter replenishment order, and foreign trade mainly involves the placement of some spring, summer, autumn and winter orders.
In addition, there is also a phenomenon of stockpiling in the market, especially for goods shipped this year For better products such as T400, based on the bullish outlook for raw material prices, the current gray fabric prices have reached a relatively low level, which has also triggered stocking operations in the downstream market.
In addition, according to the sample companies recently monitored by China Silk City Network, we have learned that with the recent rise in textile raw materials in many places, many gray fabric manufacturers have also The quotations have been raised. At present, the prices of products such as pongee, chiffon, and peach skin have basically increased by 0.03-0.05 yuan/meter, and the prices of four-sided elastic and air-jet products have increased by 0.10-0.20 yuan/meter. However, the actual transactions at the new prices have not yet It is difficult, and many old customers still sell at low prices in the early stage.
It is rumored that it is forbidden to return to the village after mid-January. Will the holiday be brought forward this year?
Although since December, there have been endless speculations about “early holidays” in the market, except for the more widely spread “holidays due to staggered peaks due to the epidemic” in the market. In addition, since November, the entire textile market has been enveloped in an off-season atmosphere, and the inventory on hand of weaving manufacturers has continued to exceed expectations. Some textile manufacturers have even accumulated inventory for about half a year with hundreds of looms.
For these “skyline” inventories, many manufacturing companies at that time had the idea of taking holidays in advance. But now that the market sentiment has improved, will it postpone manufacturers’ holiday plans?
Mr. Chen, the person in charge of a polyester taffeta and pongee textile enterprise, said that the factory plans to have a holiday on January 20, but in his eyes, it is still a big mistake to have an early holiday. Probabilistic event. “Although orders are improving now, the prices of some large orders are very low, and business is still difficult to do. In addition, due to the epidemic this year, workers are likely to go home early.” He said.
The editor also found a friend on the Internet who said that a village in another place issued a notice in the early stage saying that migrant workers who returned later than mid-January were prohibited from returning to the village.
For traditional Chinese people, going home to reunite with their loved ones during the Spring Festival every year is the biggest thing. If their hometown really makes these requests, it is expected that a group of people will advance in advance Looking back, I would rather reunite with my family than make more money and bear the risk of not being able to return to my hometown.
In addition, judging from the overall market situation, although most downstream customers have begun to buy at low prices and stock up on goods, and market orders are improving, the outbreak of foreign epidemics is still relatively serious, and foreign trade companies Shipping costs and exchange rate risks must also be considered when accepting orders. Therefore, it is still difficult for the market to return to the “order tide” of previous years. In addition, there is great resistance to realizing the inventory accumulated in factories, so some companies will still consider stopping production in advance. Have a holiday.
In general, the textile market did not stop at the end of the year, and various factors also caused the market to “The storm is rising again”, but regardless of whether the holiday is in advance, many companies have also driven orders during this wave of rising raw materials. Of course, it is worth noting that in the first half of next year, the global economy will still be shrouded by the “new crown epidemic”, and there are recent news that the virus has mutated and become more contagious, which has weakened the optimistic effect of the “vaccine” that has been launched. However, China has performed well in this round of “fight against the epidemic” and its domestic manufacturing industry has recovered well. It is expected that there will be a return of orders in the market.
