Affected By Rising Cost Of Raw Materials And Labor, &Nbsp Is Expected To Increase By 15%.

A cold autumn rain, with the sudden drop in temperature, Chongqing Many garment enterprises in the city have also started. Winter clothes The prelude to production. Yesterday, from the Chaotianmen Chongqing clothing association, it was estimated that the price of raw materials and labor costs will rise by 15% in the first 10 months of this year, due to the rising cost of raw materials and labor. In addition, since the beginning of this year, the more than 300 garment enterprises of Chongqing garment and Apparel Association have begun to adopt the order form production. While protecting sales, they can also avoid losses caused by inventory pressure in previous years.

　 Cost push up selling price

"According to estimates, the wholesale price is expected to rise by 15% over the same period in the first 10 months of the winter, and the average price will be at least 480 yuan." Cheng Qifei, vice president of Chongqing clothing association, told reporters that the reason for the increase was mainly due to the rising raw materials and labor costs since last year.

Cheng Qifei disclosed that according to the Association statistics, compared with the same period last year, the cost of raw materials and labor currently used for winter production increased by 15% and 50% respectively. "The price of water washed leather is 6~7 yuan higher than that of the same period last year." Hu Meng, a clothing owner in Chaotianmen, said that the water washed leather was mainly used for winter clothing production. At this time last year, the price of rice was only 25 yuan, and now it has risen to 31~32 yuan / meter.

"Not only is the water washing, cotton, feather and other winter clothing production will be used raw material prices rose by an average of about 5%." Yang Xu, another clothing owner in Chaotianmen, said cotton was an example. Although the price of cotton dropped quite a lot earlier than the beginning of the year, it could reasonably reduce the cost of garment enterprises, but now the price is not reflected in the terminal sales link. According to Yang Xu, cotton price has dropped, but it has been at least half a year's cycle for garment making enterprises. "In addition to clothing materials, labor costs have gone up a lot." Cheng Qifei introduced that, like skilled sewing workers, the monthly salary per person last year was around 2000 yuan, and now it has risen to 3000 yuan, or 50%.

　 　 Order Production to avoid backlog

"In the past, if the price increases, it will naturally affect sales, and once the sales are not ideal, the pressure on the stock will also give us a headache." Chen Yu, the boss of clothing business for nearly 20 years, said that since this year, according to the requirements of the association, they have begun to adopt the order form production and sale, and sign an agreement with the customer ahead of time, so that customers can make the order and reproduce again.

According to Cheng Qifei, vice president of Chongqing garment and Apparel Association, today the production cost is rising and the domestic market is relatively weak. If it is still distributed and produced in the past, it will inevitably hinder the development of Chongqing garments.

"Like last autumn and winter last season, many enterprises in Chaotianmen suffered losses." Cheng Qifei disclosed that because of blind production, when autumn and winter changed season last year, there were about 2000~3000 of each enterprise's autumn storage. On average, the average selling price of autumn clothes was 200 yuan / piece last year. According to the price of inventory 30~40 yuan, the loss can be imagined.

"Order production not only protects the interests of customers, but also reduces the pressure on inventory and production costs." Li Yong, Secretary General of Chongqing garment and Apparel Association, said that this kind of targeted clothing production from customer demand, from production cost to sales, can greatly reduce the impact of weather or season change and avoid backlog.
