Domestic Cotton Prices Reached A Record High Of &Nbsp; Brand Clothing Was Raising Prices.

Starting from the second half of last year, cotton prices have been rising all the time because of the reduction in production. Taking grade two cotton as an example, the price has risen from 14000-15000 yuan / ton at the beginning of the year to 18000 yuan / ton, or more than 25%.

At the same time, domestic cotton futures prices have also risen to a historical high of around 18000 yuan, the highest point since the listing, and many brands of clothing have been affected by this influence.

Rising cost

XTEP's semi annual report shows that the average selling price of clothing products has increased by 13.9%.

Anta reported that the price of clothing products increased by 7.1% (RMB 49.6 yuan).

Li Ning Co also announced in June this year that the average retail price of footwear and clothing products increased by 7.8% and 17.9% respectively in the fourth quarter of this year.

The price increase is more than just

It is understood that cotton prices began to rise gradually in the autumn of 2009. As of early July this year, cotton prices rose by 30% compared with the 2008/2009 average price.

Affected by this, cotton yarn, cotton and other clothing processing raw materials prices also rise.

The price of cotton yarn was only 17 thousand yuan / ton at this time last year, and now it has risen to 28 thousand yuan / ton.

It is understood that in 2008

The demand for cotton is strong, the stock is low at home and abroad, the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent, and cotton prices have dropped significantly in the short run.

At present, although the new cotton market is still 20~30 days away, cotton processing enterprises have been ready to fight for it, and the gunpowder for resources and customers has begun to grow stronger.

Export blockage orders drop by 10%

Affected not only domestic clothing sales enterprises, clothing foreign trade business also has a greater impact.

The United States, the European Union and Japan are the most important areas of textile and clothing consumption in the world, and also the main export market of China's textile industry.

But at present, there is no unexpected rebound in peripheral demand.

Under the overlapping of trade frictions, European debt crisis, RMB appreciation and so on, coupled with the rising price of raw materials, the export situation of textile industry is not optimistic.

The responsible person of the Provincial Department of Commerce said that textile exports accounted for about 20% of the total export volume of our province, which was a large class of export products, and the rise in cotton prices undoubtedly had a great impact on the export of textiles.

Wan Weiping, chairman of provincial textiles import and export limited liability company, said that the price rise of raw materials in the market after the revival of the market was particularly fierce and extremely urgent.

Take cotton as an example, it has risen from 13 thousand yuan / ton to 19 thousand yuan in just 5 months, and the company and its customers have calculated the paction price by 18 thousand yuan of cotton cost price. At present, the enterprise is at the edge of loss.

On the other hand, to offset the pressure of rising costs, domestic textile export prices have generally risen by 20%.

In order to find a bigger price advantage, many merchants have shifted their orders to cotton exporters India and Pakistan.

Wan Weiping reflected that business orders fell by around 10% compared with the second half of last year.

Rao Ting, general manager of red fruit clothing, said that the rise of cotton prices has made the enterprises feel a lot of cost pressure. Many orders can not be done according to the previous prices. "Now we are very cautious about placing orders, and the list that has been received is also not profitable because of the rise in cotton prices.
