The Sales Slack Was Half A Month Ahead Of Schedule &Nbsp; The Spinner Merchants Did Not Do Credit Business.

Affected by weak domestic and international markets and frequent fluctuations in raw material prices, coupled with the 2012 Spring Festival coming earlier than in previous years, China's light textile market was half a month ahead of schedule and entered a low sales season.

Reporters visited the major markets of China's Textile City recently, and found that since December, the volume of passenger traffic in major markets has decreased significantly, although there are still a small number of customers.

Half a month ahead of the off-season.

"At this time of the year, there were still some customers in the market, but now, there are basically no customers in the market. The off-season has been more than half a month ahead of schedule."

Mr. Li, a business operator of China's light textile city north market, told reporters that in addition to the early arrival of the off-season, the fluctuation of cotton prices this year also made the profits that the fabrics had not been much smaller.

Although cotton prices have fallen, the cost has increased greatly, "Mr. Li said." labor costs are much higher than before.

Last year, the average monthly wage of workers was around 2000 yuan.

The market is light and no longer sells on credit.

According to the introduction of some textile city operators, they often offer credit business in the past when the market is good.

"Old customers from us, we usually do not receive money, let them sell, and so on after making the funds.

At that time, business was good, and it was a long term business. Everyone was not afraid of being cheated. "

But this year's market has made many managers reluctant to take it lightly.

"We sell the goods to some foreign customers. Some people sell the goods directly at the cost price, then run away, and no more people can be found."

Ms. Zhou said that she had been cheated this year. Fortunately, the amount is not too large, a total of more than 10 thousand yuan.

It is understood that near the end of the year, in order to withdraw funds, many business households do not provide credit business.

Rely on product development to win market

"Business is hard to do this year. To keep the market, it's only a combination of characteristics and quality."

In the face of the changing market environment, textile companies should play the advantage of "R & D trade", increase product innovation and stick to the market position, said Wang.

"It is also a piece of grey cloth, which is different after printing and dyeing.

Many textile industry insiders believe that textile companies should not simply sell cloth, but rather get rid of a "R & D trade" way of "relying on product development to win the market" in good time.

In recent years, most of the operators of China Textile City have cloth research and development capabilities, and some key textile companies have also formed a unique mode of "industry university research" cooperation with the scientific research institutes to develop products, and a series of innovative products quickly occupied the market.
