Recently, U.S. crude oil has soared 8%, and polyester filament has risen for three consecutive days! The original textile market has begun to show substantial improvement. Has the recent good news from the upstream once again boosted the downstream gray fabric market? With this question in mind, the China Silk City Network Collection and Editing Center conducted a market survey.
Orders have increased, and the operating rate of looms has increased
According to the reflections of many companies, domestic sales orders have increased a lot compared with the previous period. Compared with last week, fabric dealers received more inquiries from customers and started to be busy. Most of the orders received so far are based on autumn and winter fabrics, such as four-way stretch, T400, plaid polyester taffeta, weft stretch super-fine denier and other fabrics.
With the increase in fabric orders, gray fabric transactions The volume has increased, the inventory has been somewhat loosened, and the enthusiasm of weaving manufacturers has further increased. According to data from sample companies, the operating rate of most manufacturers’ looms was around 70% last week, but this week it has risen to 80%, and even 100% for some companies.
A manufacturer with 170 looms is responsible for One person said: “We are currently producing mainly ultra-fine denier and weft stretch fabrics, and the looms are at full capacity, as they were at the same time in previous years. There are no plans to reduce production in the future.
Foreign trade is recovering slowly, and only a few companies have orders to make
/o:p>
While the market situation is improving, we are more concerned about whether foreign trade, which has been suspended, will recover in the near future with the resumption of work and the recovery of the domestic sales market. However, Through research, the answer we got is not ideal. According to feedback from sample companies, 90% of companies still have not received foreign trade orders, and the entire export trade is at a standstill.
The person in charge of a company that originally accounted for 90% of foreign trade reported, “Our foreign trade is exported to Malaysia, Australia, Japan, etc. It is still stagnant. Customers have not requested delivery of previously canceled orders. New orders have not been shipped.” Even more so. The customer has resumed work, but has not received any orders, so everyone has no orders to fill. ”
Only a few companies have not stopped exports due to the impact of the epidemic, but the number of orders has decreased a lot. Companies that have not stopped exporting basically ship to Southeast Asian countries , such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and other countries. A foreign trade company reported that there have always been export orders, but the volume has decreased. In the past, an order was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of meters, but now even orders of more than 10,000 are very rare. .
There are even a few companies whose foreign trade orders have gone from a stagnant state to a start-up state where a small number of orders have been issued. In fact, overseas operations are basically resuming work, and foreign trade orders are not large. The reason for the area’s recovery is mainly due to the sharp drop in demand for clothing due to the impact of the epidemic. It is difficult for overseas clothing manufacturers to receive new orders, and it is rumored that fabric manufacturers have even fewer orders.
The market order situation is average, with a slight increase from last week. There is a little more domestic trade, and foreign trade has also begun, mainly exporting to the United States. However, the order volume is not large, tens of thousands of meters, mainly home textile fabrics. A trader Senior sources revealed.
The escalation of Sino-US trade friction may affect the progress of foreign trade recovery
The new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in the United States is the world’s worst As of now, the number of confirmed cases in serious countries has exceeded 1.64 million. It is also very gratifying to be able to receive orders from the United States when the epidemic is so raging. However, the recent US ban on Huawei has taken a step closer. Relations between the United States and the United States have deteriorated, and trade frictions between the two sides have escalated. This issue will have a subtle impact on textile trade.
Looking back on 2019, the year when Sino-US trade friction had the most serious impact on textile foreign trade exports. In addition to the decrease in direct export orders to the United States, orders for global exports All have been affected to varying degrees, resulting in a sluggish foreign trade market. At present, foreign trade has just shown signs of recovery. The Sino-US trade friction will be detrimental to the recovery of foreign trade, and the recovery may be slow. But the most difficult time has been passed. Nothing can stop textile people from taking orders!
The domestic sales market continues to recover, but it may be difficult to continue in the future
From the above Judging from the situation, the market is indeed picking up, but there are still some areas that are not ideal, or there are companies that have fallen back compared to last week. A weaving company that mainly produces polyester taffeta, Shumei silk, pongee and other market sheets introduces: “The market order situation this week is average and has decreased compared with last week. This wave of enthusiasm will not last long, at most half a month. ”
This company not only feedbacks on the popularity of the market The decline also shows the persistence of this wave of enthusiasm.��is not optimistic. Although many companies are currently receiving orders well, they still lack confidence in the future and believe that this wave of enthusiasm will be difficult to continue.
A trading boss summed up: “There are basically no hot products now. As long as one or two hot products come out, everyone will rush to do it. The heat has subsided in half a month. Polyester taffeta and pongee fabrics for protective clothing are very popular. Dyeing factories basically make these, and they are basically sent to Vietnam, but we don’t make them because they are very expensive. It is difficult to meet export standards, and there may be some trouble later.”
Editor’s note
The editor believes that it is still difficult to draw conclusions about the next market situation. Although domestic trade has recovered, the recovery of foreign trade is very small, and it is still relatively slow to really get better. So overall, the market There is no full recovery yet. However, there is great hope that foreign trade will pick up in the second half of the year. After all, the whole world consumes, and the basic demand for clothing will recover.
