The manager of a popular brand clothing store in Liu Xiang introduced to reporters. Reporters then visited a number of clothing stores, each store manager said that this year's factory price is higher than the same period last year, so to the retail terminal inevitably prices higher.

Higher demand for cotton and higher cotton prices

"Cotton prices have risen by 30%, the highest level in 10 years. Judging from the newly listed autumn winter clothing, the price of pure cotton clothing is higher than that of other materials, and it is definitely related to the high cotton price. According to Li Jinwang, director of the provincial textile industry management office, the main raw materials for clothing are cotton and linen, and cotton prices are rising, leading to higher clothing prices.

Director Li said that cotton prices rose from the end of last year, and the initial increase was not obvious. Later, the increase began to increase. At present, the new cotton is 18000 yuan / ton, compared to last year's 13000 yuan / ton, the price directly raised 5000 yuan / ton, or more than 30%. Last year, a sharp drop in domestic cotton production opened the gap between supply and demand of cotton. At the same time, driven by the global economic rebound, people's daily consumption expenditure has gradually increased, and many consumers are buying "everyday" consumer goods. When the demand for the terminal market is booming and the upstream raw materials are cut down, the huge imbalance between supply and demand has stimulated the soaring price of raw materials.

"From the recent analysis of relevant departments, it is estimated that the global demand for cotton is still larger than cotton output next year, making the global cotton supply and demand situation continue to be tight in 2011." Director Li said that under the stimulation of tight supply, the cotton market will continue to rise. "The autumn winter clothing that is listed now, the cotton used by many manufacturers is in the first half of the year, and the cotton price has been rising. It is estimated that by the end of the year, the overall price of clothing will probably rise again."

Other cotton materials also started to rise.

In addition to autumn and winter clothing, some products such as thermal underwear, household clothing, infant clothing, towels and other cotton based materials have already started to raise their prices. In a underwear shop in Changzhi Road, a salesperson in the shop said that the price of an ordinary cotton underwear last year was 17 yuan. This year, because of the rise in cotton prices, the current price has risen to 20 yuan, and the retail price has also increased by 4 yuan.

In the mall of Chaoyang Street in the provincial capital, the price of a towel is generally around 20 yuan, and the quality is better than 35 yuan. The head of the cotton textile counter said that the price of textile sold recently increased by about 20%. Like a brand of bath towel sold 150 yuan a month ago, now it sells for 165 yuan.

The staff of the market operation Department of the Provincial Department of Commerce introduced that in order to closely follow the changes in the cotton market, accurately reflect the trend of market supply and demand, and provide reliable decision-making basis for the relevant departments, the commerce department will work with relevant departments to strengthen the monitoring of necessities and production materials for the autumn and winter clothing and cotton, and improve the emergency system for daily necessities and production data fluctuations, and guide local enterprises to organize production and supply, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the market.
