How Does The Textile Industry Avoid The Fluctuation Of Cotton Prices?

According to the analysis of textile industry associations, cotton and cotton yarns are regarded as weathervane of raw material prices by the textile and garment industry. However, due to the low degree of participation in the futures market in China's cotton market and the single operation mode and paction means, the price is relatively passive.

Especially from last year's cotton planting area and total output, and India's suspension of cotton exports and other factors, since last autumn, the international cotton price has risen straight, and the 3 grade cotton price has risen by 5000 yuan per ton, or up to 50%.

This price increase has made many textile and garment enterprises in Changle unable to sleep at night.

Many cotton textile enterprises responsible for introduction, cotton accounts for about 40% of the cost of clothing, according to estimates, cotton prices rose by 5% per cent, the profits of enterprises will drop by 2%.

After the rise of cotton prices, the price of finished cloth has also increased by more than 10%. If it is allocated to a set of four piece bedding, the cost per set will be raised by 20%, and the profits of enterprises will be reduced by 2%.

Cotton prices fluctuate so fiercely. Is there any way to avoid it?

Changle Textile Industry Association Mr. Lin said that the recent textile enterprises in Changle released a lot of innovative results and changed the path of winning by quality.

It is reported that new textile and fiber materials, new high-tech accessories, industrial textiles, new textile machinery and other new technologies and products have recently been developed independently by Changle textile industry.

These new products not only match the aesthetic standards of consumers, but also are more environmentally friendly and cost less.

For example, bamboo fiber is the fifth largest textile natural fiber in the world after cotton, wool, silk and hemp. It has regeneration and biodegradability. It is not only pollution-free, but also has high added value.

Although there are many bamboo fiber products in the domestic market, the environmental protection, deodorization, antibacterial and anti ultraviolet functions of the materials are obviously insufficient. The bamboo fibers produced by Changle enterprises have overcome these weaknesses.

In addition, the "China viscose fiber special products production base" also settled in Changle, producing a large number of fiber yarn with far-infrared, moisture absorption, sweat and flame retardant functions.

It is also understood that this year, textile and garment enterprises and R & D institutions in Changle have released a number of technical solutions on technological improvement, equipment renewal, product replacement, energy saving, comprehensive utilization, upgrading of industrial chain, etc., and more than 10 docking projects have been completed, and more projects will be docked.

Many of the new homes of these new projects are Changle textile enterprises.
