Cotton prices rise and fall, winter clothing prices rise difficult to sell

Since the second half of this year, cotton prices have been rising, and local clothing companies have bought cotton cloth after raising prices for the production of winter clothing, and have increased the price of terminal products. The price of clothing this winter has generally risen by 20%.

In the shopping malls of some shopping malls in the city, similar styles of cotton padded clothes sold at about 400 yuan last year, this year, the new styles are often more than 500 yuan.

According to the introduction, the sales volume of clothing counters has been declining compared with the same period last year due to the impact of price increases.

"Trousers and shirts are not worried, but the price of cotton padded clothes is higher and seasonality is stronger, which is more affected."

In the industrial market, a brand clothing agency, Yang boss, was worried. The sales of winter clothing dropped by more than 50% compared with last year.

"Many customers like it very much when they try it on, but when they hear the price, they say they will buy it later."

Li Li, a clothing store in the people's Middle Road, said she bought more than 50 sets of different styles of cotton padded clothes in October and has sold only more than 10 sets.

Many factors, clothing price reduction space is not large.

Cotton prices in recent years have been callback, as of 2 days, the cotton price index has dropped to 26000 yuan per ton interval, the highest position dropped 5000 yuan, the magnitude of 16%.

But cotton prices rose at the end of last year, and up to 80%.

"It does not mean that cotton prices will be reduced as soon as the price is adjusted."

Ms. Chen, who manages men's clothing wholesale in the industrial market, said that although cotton prices have been callback, from cotton to clothing, there are more than ten processes such as knurling, peeling, spinning, weaving, dyeing, cutting, sewing, ironing, packaging and so on, plus wholesale, retail and other links, and prices are lagging behind.

Clothing prices are also affected by many factors, such as high fuel prices, shortage of diesel oil and pportation costs.

"In addition to cloth, the rise in labor costs also has a great impact."

The European lady of the City West Street Fu Fu bird clothing factory said that in general, the cost of clothing materials accounted for 40% of the Central Plains, and the proportion of design fees was not large, while processing and management fees accounted for about half.

In order to alleviate the labor shortage, the garment factory paid wages and benefits to the lathe workers at the beginning of the year, and the price of water and electricity was also rising.

The reporter learned from the Yulin labor market that the number of wages listed by local clothing manufacturers increased by 20% on average compared with that of last year, while some skilled workers increased by about 30%.

"If the price of cloth is more stable, the cost can be accurately determined and the next batch of production will start."

Mr. Huang, head of a jeans factory in Fumian management area, said that in early November, the factory bought a lot of expensive fabrics, and now it is still digesting the stock, and has a wait-and-see attitude towards the purchase of raw materials, so the price of the trousers has not been adjusted yet.

Huang believes that this year's cotton production reduction is a foregone conclusion. Although there are policies and regulations, cotton prices will not continue to decline, clothing prices downward space is small, compared with the same period last year may also have a gain of about 10%.
