Cotton Prices Are Rising, And The Outlook For The Garment Industry Is Worrying.

　　 "The rising trend of raw materials such as cotton is a fait accompli. With the transmission effect of clothing industry spread down, next year, this seemingly soft" cotton fist "will knock down a number of enterprises. Wei Lin, vice president of China clothing association, said in Humen town of Dongguan 20, local governments, industry associations and enterprises with clothing industry characteristics must be given four aspects.

Wei Lin said that since the beginning of this year, the prices of raw materials such as cotton have soared, which has the influence of domestic and international policies, and is also related to speculation of hot money. Despite the recent suppression, the trend of price rise has already been formed, and it is impossible to fall back at once. Wei Lin expects that the pressure of this kind of raw materials will continue to increase next year, and it will be carried out layer by layer, from the basic raw materials, weaving gauze, printing and dyeing, and finally to clothing products, which will eventually lead to higher clothing prices next year.

"In a similar competitive environment, some enterprises that can not afford the price will be closed because they can not afford the cost pressure." Wei Lin pointed out.

According to the world's largest manufacturing online procurement service provider MFG.com 18 Dongguan Statistics provided also show that this year, overseas industrial parts and textile enterprises purchase orders of Chinese modeling enterprises through e-commerce, showing the trend of decentralization. Especially after the international financial crisis. overseas Because of the consideration of cost and market risk, textile enterprises have shrunk in the frequency of purchase and the amount of purchase. The weak performance of foreign trade demand has also made the Guangdong clothing enterprises, which rely heavily on the fact that they can only digest the excess capacity in the region, feel chill.

Reporters interviewed in Humen town of Dongguan found that although the number of clothing enterprises in the town is still a lot, but in the foreign trade Under the double pressure of sharp reduction in orders and rising costs, many garment enterprises are no longer as close to purchasing as they used to be. Instead, they go to Zengcheng and Guangzhou to purchase raw materials for processing and then get Humen's sales. "Humen's local sales of raw and auxiliary materials, land prices, factory rents, labor costs have no advantage, constantly rising raw materials have become a sharp knife on the neck of our business at any time." A Humen Huxing clothing business owner said that he originally had a garment factory of more than 100 people in Bo Chung, Humen. At the beginning of this year, he had no choice but to turn it off, and clothing enterprises like his scale and empathy were the mainstream in Humen's clothing industry.

　　 "Once the cost pressures cause these enterprises to suffer or migrate, they will make the whole clothing. industry chain Hollow strips. " Wei Lin suggested that in the case of rising costs and a slump in foreign trade, local governments, industry associations and enterprises that are characterized by clothing must pay attention to brand building, culture infusion, quality control and marketing, so as to transfer cost pressures.
