Pearl River Delta Small And Medium Enterprises Survey: Apparel Industry Outbreak Of Inventory Crisis

< p > < Guangdong a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > production still maintains the status of the largest garment production province in the country, but negative growth has occurred. The stock crisis has broken out throughout the industry this year.

According to the survey report, under the influence of international market downturn and rising operating costs, the average operating rate of Guangdong garment enterprises is around 75%, with nearly 20% enterprises operating rate less than 50%.

< /p >

< p > < strong > the profit margin of orders is only about 3%, < /strong > < /p >.

< p > "now clothing is too difficult to make, orders continue to decline, the cost is higher and higher." Xiao Lin thinks that she is currently the most difficult period in her 3 years of clothing wholesale.

< /p >

< p > three years ago, Xiaolin and his boyfriend rented Guangzhou's thirteen rows, 5 and 6 square meters of stalls, engaged in wholesale clothing business.

< /p >

< p > the thirteen line of Guangzhou is a professional trading company established in Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, and now it is a famous clothing wholesale center in Guangzhou.

People who have been to thirteen rows have described the scene of the war with "war". People who are accusing each other are coming and going in haste, packing and wholesale bags to carry away the goods.

< /p >

< p > < strong > but now many stall shopkeepers are worried about their future.

< /strong > < /p >.

At three p.m., Xiao Lin has returned to his home near Baiyun Cultural Square in Guangzhou from the thirteen line stalls.

She told NetEase finance that she had sold out at two o'clock in the afternoon, and her business was not as good as before.

Kobayashi is engaged in the wholesale of T-shirts, and designs by himself. He runs the stalls with his own selling mode.

In the first two years of the business, business is still going on, but this year it is getting tough.

< /p >

< p > Xiao Lin told NetEase finance that during the peak season, nearly 20 new t-shirts will be launched in one month, and ten thousand or twenty thousand can be sold for a burst (hot selling style), but now the sale of thousands of pieces can be sold well.

Orders for domestic sales declined, and sales of foreign trade were even more bleak.

In the past, on average, one or two single Thailand bills were received each month, with 300-400 items per list, while the current Thailand list generally does not exceed 100, and not every month can receive the list.

< /p >

< p > Xiaolin orders decline is not an example. NetEase finance understands that many businesses in the thirteen lines are quite light.

Mr. Li, head of a garment processing plant in Guangzhou, told NetEase finance that the situation in the first half of this year was particularly poor, but the situation in the second half of the year was slightly better, but it was still not ideal.

Mr. Jiang, head of a garment factory in Foshan, said that the list has been much smaller this year, and the entire clothing market is declining.

< /p >

< p > the data released recently by China clothing association show that the number of < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > clothing export < /a > has been negative for 13 consecutive months.

In 1-9 months, the sales revenue of 14328 large scale enterprises in China increased from 13% at the beginning of the year to 10%, lower than the average level in the past two years, and the profit rate dropped from 6% at the beginning of the year to 5.09%.

< /p >

< p > according to the China Apparel Association, the average profit margins of small and medium enterprises that export low-end products are only around 3%. The compression of profits makes clothing orders more obvious to emerging economies.

< /p >

< p > < strong > sales downturn industry full outbreak of inventory crisis < /strong > < /p >

< p > sales downturn also led to the stock crisis spreading throughout the industry.

Not long ago, there were nearly 8 stalls in the thirteen lines that were suddenly shut down at the same time.

These shops belong to the same boss. Due to overstock and inflow of funds, they have to close down.

< /p >

< p > NetEase finance understands that the thirteen line one stall owner has made a batch of fur coats in the first half of this year. He hopes to make a big profit this winter. But because of bad sales, there are 40 thousand overcoats in the warehouse.

The cost of each leather garment is around 100 yuan, and the owner's stock is frozen by 4 million.

The processing fee of the processing plant has not yet been cleared up. The boss is very reluctant to say that the money is gone, and he hopes to use the leather clothing stock to cover the processing fee.

< /p >

< p > Guo Jin securities, a a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > clothing industry research report, said that since 2012, the textile and apparel retail industry has launched a comprehensive inventory crisis, marking that the industry has entered a period of pformation. The essential reason is that the market space is limited, and the rapid growth is difficult to sustain. However, the business mode of enterprises still stays in the inertia of scale expansion. The conflict between the two causes the sales of new stores to be lower than expected, and the accumulation of many new stores has exceeded the scope of the consumer demand that can be slowed down, thus upgrading to the crisis of disrupting the normal operation of enterprises.

< /p >

< p > inventory problem, is now engaged in the clothing industry people's heart headache.

Kobayashi told NetEase finance that from February this year, stalls also accumulated some inventory, about 15 thousand units.

If the cost of each T-shirt is about 20 yuan, 300 thousand of the Kobayashi stalls will be on the stock.

She said helplessly that she could only see whether she could digest it next year.

< /p >

Jiang Lin, director of the Department of Finance and taxation of South of the Five Ridges College of Zhongshan University, told NetEase finance that inventory problems had caused a lot of pressure on clothing companies. If sales were reduced, P would lose everything.

< /p >

< p > besides the heavy inventory pressure, the rising cost of labor has also become a difficult problem for the apparel industry.

As the garment industry has shifted to the central and western regions, many migrant workers have realized their employment in their hometown, and the number of migrant workers has gradually decreased, resulting in the difficulty of recruitment in Guangdong's clothing industry.

< /p >

< p > some executives of small businesses told NetEase finance that it is difficult to recruit people now, and they must "coax" workers to go to work.

It is understood that in the peak season, the number of garment workers in Guangzhou can be $10000 yuan, less than six thousand or seven thousand yuan.

< /p >

Less than P, the wages of workers in Xiaolin factory have increased by more than 1000 yuan over the past two years, and the rents of the stalls have increased year by year, which has kept her production costs soaring.

"Now the cost of each T-shirt has increased by 10%-15% compared to last year, mainly due to the increase in labor costs."

Xiao Lin said.

< /p >

< p > < strong > employment shortage of some enterprises is less than 50%. < /strong > < /p >

< < p > in order to get a better understanding of the operation of the industry and the survival status of all kinds of small and medium-sized garment enterprises, Guangdong garment industry < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress < /a > industry associations in Zhongshan and Dongguan, Huizhou and Foshan in the first half of this year.

< /p >

< p > results show that in the 1-5 month of this year, clothing production in Guangdong province still maintained the status of the first garment producing province in the country, but there has been a negative growth.

In the first half of 2012, Guangdong's clothing economy continued to grow negatively.

In terms of foreign trade, Guangdong clothing and clothing accessories exported to US $11 billion 350 million in the 1-5 months of this year, a decrease of 1.9% compared with the same period last year, which is lower than that of the whole country.

In Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong and other clothing provinces, Guangdong is the only province that has negative growth in total exports.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the global economic situation is grim and the demand for European and American markets has declined. Some of the orders have been pferred to countries with lower labour costs, such as Vietnam and Kampuchea.

< /p >

In the < p > survey, most industrial clusters have responded to the fact that many enterprises have stopped production or halt production this year. Compared with the same period last year, nearly 2/3 of the enterprises indicated a marked decline in output. The main reason for the decline in production was the reduction in orders and the shortage of labor, the average operating rate was around 75%, and nearly 20% of the enterprises started less than 50%.

< /p >

< p > Guangdong clothing and Apparel Industry Association report shows that in the first half of last year, compared with the same period last year, nearly 70% of Guangdong's sales revenue and profits decreased significantly.

The average cost of labor in garment enterprises is around 20%.

In the survey, clothing companies believed that the most influential factors in the first half of the year were recruitment difficulties, rising labor costs, rising raw material costs and insufficient orders.

< /p >

< p > Jiang Lin told NetEase finance that the garment industry is facing high costs of taxes, business expenses and logistics, in addition to the sharp rise in labor costs, resulting in high cost and thin profits.

< /p >

< p > "at present, the clothing industry in Guangdong is in a dilemma.

The clothing industry is a labor-intensive industry with low technical content. At present, there are no preferential policies such as tax relief for the clothing industry. "Jiang Lin said that the departments concerned also understand the problems of the clothing industry, but the problems of tax burden, business expenses and imperfections of the market system can not be solved at present.

< /p >

< p > for the current problems faced by Guangdong's clothing industry, Shenzhen garment industry association responsible person told NetEase finance that Guangdong's clothing industry was affected by the internal and external economic situation, resulting in industrial problems, but also a national phenomenon.

He believes that in the pformation of economic structure, this is the inevitable process of experience; in addition, in the process of pformation, the tide of destruction and the survival of the fittest will inevitably result in some enterprises falling down.
