Inventory discount now.

Nowadays, the textile and garment industry not only has to bear the raw material inventory problem caused by the fluctuation of cotton prices, but also faces the problem of declining orders and increasing clothing inventory.

Xiong Xiaokun, a light industry researcher at CIC, told reporters: "compared with last year, overseas markets, especially in Europe and the United States, suffered a sharp decline in orders and a sharp decline in orders. In some varieties, overseas orders fell by more than 70%, and the textile factories in the eastern coastal areas were seriously inadequate, which to a certain extent affected the company's inventory."

A clothing company official said that inventory is a common phenomenon in the clothing industry, and the main reason is the market downturn, which is more than the manufacturers' expectations.

According to the data, YOUNGOR, Hong Kong stock, inter China group and United States

And Semir apparel inventory exceeded 1 billion yuan, in addition to the U.S. state clothing inventory decreased compared with last year, the remaining 4 companies have increased inventories over the previous year.

"Because the fashion of clothing is strong, therefore, the clothing inventory is best to digest in 1 years, many businesses have to discount, or even sell clothes at a loss in order to get rid of inventory."

Wang Qianjin told reporters.

Reporters found in the survey, the discount clothing often appeared in previous years is not limited to short code short, even the new discount this year just listed is also very large, often on the shelves soon, it will play 6 or 30 percent off discount.

Wang Qianjin told reporters that the reason why clothing stocks are high is the over expected sales volume of garment manufacturers.

Especially the sports clothing brand this year, Lining,

And other domestic sporting goods brands showed signs of slow growth.

A brand agent revealed that this year's sports brands such as Lining, kappa and so on are more than 30%.

Even Anta, which had the smallest inventory, increased its stock to 26.13% last year.

According to a reporter's interview with a Lining store, Lining, who hit 20 percent off in the past year, dropped the discount to 30 percent off in the summer.

In addition, reporters in the network discount stores, you can see 4, 50 percent off discount price.

Lining, listed in Hongkong, said in a notice of "business operation and financial situation report" that in order to deal with the harsh environment of the industry and avoid new inventory pressure on the retail terminal, the Group actively took the initiative to communicate with the distributors and control the order arrangement. Therefore, the order amount in the fourth quarter of 2012 was further reduced compared with the same period last year.

Data show that in the fourth quarter of 2012, at the Lining Products dealer ordering meeting, the order amount and order quantity of Lining clothing products both dropped, and the drop was over 20%.

According to financial reports, in 2011, Lining net profit was only 3 million 858 thousand, down 65.2%.

For Lining's problems, analysts said that Lining's previous brand positioning was not clear, though he wanted to be close to the first-line brand, but ultimately he could not get the trust of consumers.

This person said that Lining's domestic foundation was unstable and eager to occupy the international market. This development is problematic.

In the meantime, the failure of Lining dealer in Spain illustrates the failure of Lining's internationalization.
