The Raw Material Of Guangzhou Clothing Is Sky High &Nbsp, The Order Will Not Rise Or Not.

Clothing raw materials

In previous years, 6~7 month is the peak season for the clothing wholesale market, the autumn and winter new products, the order, and this year seems to be a lot calmer.

In recent days, the Information Times reporter has visited the largest clothing distribution center in Guangzhou, Liuhua mineral spring wholesale market and Dongguan Humen clothing market. Under the double pressure of raw materials and labor cost rising, most garment enterprises have postponed the listing time of autumn and winter new products, and reduced the number of order meetings; more enterprises have chosen to speed up the introduction of new products and secretly raise prices, so as to pass the pressure of rising costs.

Bu Xiaoqiang, general manager of red cotton international fashion city, told reporters that this year's clothing raw material cotton rose more than 30%. Clothing companies generally postponed the autumn and winter production period. It is expected that the new product will be listed in mid 8, and the wholesale price is expected to increase by 10% to 15% this year.

Orders will be cold in autumn and winter. Agents are watching.

By July, it was now in autumn and winter.

Huang Zan, manager of the lavender fashion company in the white horse clothing building, said that the price of raw materials has been rising and the changes are not clear. Many fabric suppliers are afraid to make more cash in order to reduce risks. Clothing companies only need to place orders for fabrics, and they are only able to get the goods in a month after booking, so they also affect the production arrangements of garment enterprises.

Lin Yuanyuan, general manager of the women's clothing brand in the red cotton international fashion city, said that the new products were postponed to the market and also related to the agents. Now the agents take a wait-and-see attitude and are afraid to take more goods. "As far as I know, many enterprises will not be able to place orders for autumn and winter."

She said that many agents were uncertain about the market demand in the second half of the year. When ordering, they adopted a cautious attitude of "multiple batches and fewer batches". If clothing companies launched new products too early, they would become stock if they were not booked. Under the pressure of cost, they would undoubtedly accelerate the "death" of enterprises.

Reporters learned that for large enterprises, the impact of rising raw materials is not large.

Shi Mingxiao, the boss of backstreet boys, is a more forward-looking one.

Due to the relatively accurate judgement of the situation in the second half of last year, many of the cotton fabrics were taken off in the autumn and winter fabrics at lower prices in the off-season, and the supply of raw materials is relatively stable now.

Acting factories worry about profits.

One side of the cost pressure continues to rise, the other end of the market demand has slowed down performance, for clothing manufacturers, the impact can be imagined.

"Now the OEM has a low gross profit margin, and 8% to 10% of it is terrible.

We make orders for big customers, and after getting rid of the cost, a shirt actually earns 3~4 yuan.

Huang, a boss of a shirt factory in Dongguan, says that the cost is rising so fast that I am afraid that this profit will be eaten up.

On the other hand, the pressure comes from labour.

According to the survey of China Textile Association, the cost of labor in domestic textile industry has increased by more than 10% this year. The shortage of labor resources and the rising cost of labor have become one of the main problems facing the home textile industry.

Qin Yingfu, Deputy Secretary General of Humen clothing and apparel industry association, is deeply touched by this.

In fact, clothing companies are not short of orders at present.

One important reason is lack of work.

Because if the enterprise is accepted, it will not be delivered on time, and the penalty for breach of contract will be lost. "

The cost of analysis is endless, rising to an "unbearable weight".

"Rising labor costs can also be accepted because the rise is relatively slow and controllable.

But the price of raw materials is endless at the moment, which makes clothing enterprises panic.

Lin Yuanyuan, the general manager of the women's clothing brand, said that only one or two kinds of fabric prices fluctuated in the past year. When designing, they could use this fabric less and replace it with other complementation. This year, including fabrics such as cotton spinning, wool spinning, linen spinning, silk, knitting, chemical fibre and even printing and dyeing, the fabric has gone up, which is really not enough for clothing companies.

It is understood that this year's nationwide abnormal weather plagued farming, the Xinjiang and Yangtze River Basin cotton sowing schedule has been postponed compared with the same period last year, resulting in inadequate cotton production.

In addition, China's second largest cotton importer India recently suspended the registration of cotton exports, making the "high price shock" cotton international supply and demand relationship is more tense.

Statistics show that by the beginning of June, the standard grade cotton had risen to 17591 yuan / ton, up 37.10% compared with 2009, viscose staple fiber increased by 54.7%, and polyester staple fiber increased by 33.5%.

Bu Xiaoqiang, general manager of red cotton international fashion city, said that the cost of cotton yarn is generally 60%~70% in the cost of garments, and the increase of cotton yarn has exceeded 30% this year.

All kinds of tricks

Answer 1: only one week's price {page_break}

The price of raw materials goes all the way, which is a great pressure to the foundry enterprises, because they all take orders first, agree on the price and delivery date, and wait for delivery after production.

"If the raw material is higher than expected after receiving the bill, it will not make money or even lose money."

Huang said that many of his colleagues only accept the price within a week, "the longer the risk, the greater the risk, so the company tends to make short-term orders, the longest half a month."

Huang said that this year, many enterprises are more willing to do domestic sales orders, because the delivery cycle is short, easy to grasp the cost, will not rush to the head as before to grab the foreign trade list.

Response 2: dark push new price increase decompression

In the face of rising costs, increasing wholesale prices is a common magic weapon for clothing companies. However, for some small factories, it is still not daring to blatantly raise prices.

Although the cost of clothing has risen by three or four, many autumn and winter wear prices have risen by only about 10%.

"In the past year, a piece of clothing was awarded a profit of 20 yuan. We only need 10 yuan this year, and another 10 yuan to our customers."

Lin Yuanyuan said that it would be possible to win with the agents this year.

In addition, some small and medium-sized clothing enterprises are working hard on the clothing styles, by speeding up the introduction of new clothing to raise the price secretly, or to try to use more affordable fabrics in the same design.

Coping with 3: reducing total volume and increasing style

Faced with the pressure, many clothing wholesalers say that the production will fall in autumn and winter this year. "This year, our total amount will be reduced from more than 300 to 200, with a reduction of 1/3. At the same time, it will reduce the order of 3 times a year to 2 times."

Huang said that the total amount of money compressed is that it is difficult for an agent to carry so much. The reduction of orders is to lengthen the production time of factories.

Now, he is more inclined to look for those orders and R & D departments in Guangdong, manufacturing links in the mainland factories.

Because they cost less than the factories in Guangdong, including plant rents, utilities and wages.
