Analysis Of The Development Of Textile Dyeing And Finishing Industry In Japan

The rising price of raw materials has caused some dyestuffs to seriously affect the normal production and operation activities of dyeing and finishing enterprises and clothing manufacturers.

Some dyeing and finishing enterprises have indicated that if the situation is not completely changed, the scope of orders will be further reduced.

At present, the dyeing and finishing industry has clearly indicated that the cost of dyeing processing has been raised, and negotiations with suppliers of raw materials and textile enterprises are continuing, but the situation is not optimistic.

As we all know, dyeing and finishing technology is one of the traditional strengths of Japanese textile industry, and it is also the foundation for the textile industry to base itself on the world.

However, the rising price of crude oil and chemical raw materials has made the dyeing and finishing industry overwhelmed, and may even shake the foundation of the entire Japanese textile industry.

The industry has two characteristics: first, a large number of energy consumption; two, a large number of chemical raw materials.

In the context of the double rise of crude oil and chemical products, the Japanese dyeing and finishing industry has come to a difficult stage.

Looking back to the first half of 2007, the cost of Seiren increased by 140 million yen over the same period of last year.

The cost of Komatsu refining company increased by 126 million yen during the same period.

Sakai energy company's energy cost increased by 60 million yen during the same period, and the cost of fuel, reagent, paper tube and packaging material increased by 30 million yen.

That is to say, Sakai aubex's cost increase in the first half of the year reached 90 million yen.

Not only that, the cost in the second half of this year is still expanding.

It is predicted that Sakai's cost of dyes and reagents will rise by 90 million yen in the second half of this year, while Komatsu refining company expects the monthly cost increase to reach 30 million yen.

The culprit of rising cost is still crude oil, because many boilers of dyeing and finishing enterprises use heavy oil as fuel.

As crude oil prices continue to rise, some dyeing and finishing enterprises began to explore alternative energy sources and develop energy-saving technologies, which also led to higher prices of natural gas and coal products.

According to the authority of the industry, the cost of fuel has increased more than 1 times in the past two years.

The rise in fuel prices has already made the dyeing and finishing enterprises miserable, and the rising prices of dyes and chemical reagents are even worse for dyeing and finishing enterprises.

However, due to the domestic government's restrictions on high energy consumption and high pollution projects, some dyestuff manufacturers have stopped production, which has also directly led to the shortage of dyes.

Under such circumstances, dyeing and finishing enterprises began to raise the cost of dyeing and finishing.

Although the price of raw materials and fuels for dyeing and finishing has risen again and again, some products have risen even more than 40-50%. However, due to the impact of supply and demand, dyeing and finishing enterprises can only swallow the market price.

According to the relevant personnel estimates, the daily use of chemical reagents increased by about 20-30%, and dye also increased by more than 10%, especially since July 2007, the related products have skyrocketed.

Of course, the price rising trend since 2007 has seriously affected production.

For dyeing and finishing enterprises, a more serious problem is that some dyeing intermediate production enterprises stop production, resulting in the failure to obtain the dye, which is a fatal blow for dyeing and finishing enterprises.

25 of the recently used dyes have disappeared from the market.

There are still some cases that will not stop production, but the reduction of production will lead to difficulties in purchasing goods and rising prices.

Among all kinds of dyes, the market supply of dyes such as black and blue has always been tight.

In 2007, the authority of dyeing and finishing industry pointed out that there was also a problem of insufficient supply of three primary colors.

Yellow, brown and other dyes also appear to be in short supply.

At present, dyeing and finishing enterprises basically solve this problem by looking for alternatives, but this further leads to rising costs.

A dyeing and finishing enterprise official said: dyeing and finishing enterprises may Showdown: we can only do this.

No one can guarantee that there will be no awkward situation.

The industry has already felt that the difficulties faced by dyeing and finishing enterprises are likely to have a profound negative impact on the garment industry.

In order to overcome the negative impact brought by the rising price of raw materials, some dyeing and finishing enterprises have tried to tide over difficulties through raising prices in recent years.

In 2007, the head of Komatsu scouring company once said: in the future, the price of dyeing and finishing will be raised in an all-round way to digest the rising cost factors.

SAKAI orbex also claimed: we have started to adjust the price requirement to the entrusting enterprises since October of 2007.

Other dyeing and finishing enterprises also have similar moves, hoping to get customers' understanding.

However, as the price of crude oil rises beyond the industry's imagination, 10% of the price adjustment is a drop in the bucket. The dyeing and finishing enterprises represented by cotton dyeing and processing enterprises have raised the processing fee by 20% again.

In dyeing and finishing enterprises, short fiber fabric dyeing mill is the most affected by crude oil price rise.

Looking back in 2007, the total dyeing of Japanese staple fabric was about 1 billion 121 million square meters, which was 53.6% lower than that in 1997.

More serious is that many dyeing and finishing enterprises have withdrawn from the stage of history.

In 2005, the dyeing and finishing business was abolished by the dyeing and dyeing company, which was the main business of uniform dyeing. The dyeing and dyeing company pferred the dyeing and finishing business to the dyeing workers in the East China Sea. In 2007, Okayama county's dyed dyeing company stopped production.
