Three Decline Of Fabric Production In Japan

　　 Japan The three northern counties (Fujing County, Ishikawa county and Toyama county) are important producers of synthetic fiber products in Japan, especially 60% of Japan's hi-tech synthetic fiber enterprises are concentrated in three counties in northern land and formed an industrial chain from printing and dyeing to complete sales. In 2012, the fabric production of 3 counties in Japan fell below 500 million square meters, and the lowest output has not appeared in nearly 3 years. The production of high-density fabrics that has been maintained for several years due to the increase in the demand for Down garments has also fallen into a downturn. The uniform field has also been affected by factors such as production adjustment and so on, resulting in a decline in production. From the production of dyeing and finishing, the output of wool fabric has broken through the increase in output last year, and the output of larger fabrics has been reduced.

2012 continuous increase in fabric inventory

According to the statistical data of fabric production in three counties in 2012, the annual production of fabric was 495 million square meters, down 5.6% from the previous year, showing a phenomenon of no reduction in the past 3 years. In 2008, there was a trend of slow production reduction in the three counties of northern land. The impact of the financial crisis in 2009 led to a significant reduction in the production of land in the northern part of the country, and the production volume dropped to 400 million square meters. Due to the increasing demand for high-density fabric market, fabric production in 2010 and 2011 has been increasing rapidly for two consecutive years.

According to the data of every month in 2012, the output of 1~2 during the peak season of fabric purchasing in autumn and winter showed a trend of growth. However, after March, there was a reduction in production for two consecutive months. This phenomenon lasted until August, and the number of production decreased to a figure of 10. The high density fabric produced by the north land producing area has also been affected by the appreciation of the Japanese yen in the competition between Korea and China. According to the local industry, especially the ultra-thin fabric manufacturers are affected, only to maintain the normal 50%~60% operating rate. In 2012, the total inventory of fabrics in the three counties of northern land increased from 22 million 770 thousand square metres at the end of 1 to 25 million square meters, an increase of 30%~40%. In December, fabric inventory exceeded 28 million square meters.

In the production of high-density fabric, the longer the fine denier fibers are, the longer the fabric production cycle is, so the adjustment from inventory shortage to overstock takes time.

In Fukui county and Ishikawa County of northern land, the dyeing and finishing process of woollen fabrics showed a slight increase. The fabric with larger yield is 390 million square meters in Fujing County, a decrease of 0.7%. Ishikawa county was 100 million square meters, down 6.2%. Fabric production is sluggish. Spin clothing Industrial chain also has a certain impact.

Small orders will be restored after 2013.

The order volume of the high density fabric of north land has been restored after a year. In addition to 20 Daniel, 30~50 Daniel's ultra thin fabric inventory is in urgent need, and the depreciation of the Japanese yen since the end of 2011 is one of the main reasons. Although orders have been restored, the closure of weaving factories has led to the reduction of production scale. At present, production has not been fully operational and has not yet fully recovered.

According to Kawano Kisumi, a specialist in the textile wholesale chamber of Fujing County, after the middle of January, the textile processing industry of northern land regained its vitality, and some processing plants achieved full load production.

Fukui, the textile manufacturer and Xing company president of north land, said that at present, the recovery degree of the high-density lightweight fabric below 20 Daniel is not clear. Besides, the inventory adjustment of light weight fabric products is in progress, and the demand relationship is becoming more and more normal. The fabric ordering of the 30~50 Daniel class has gradually returned to the level of the previous year. By the end of last year, the impact of the depreciation of the Japanese yen has continued, textile products in terms of prices also have advantages over overseas products.

On the other hand, three counties in Japan Fabric The reduction of the production scale of the producing area has brought great influence to the overall market change of the industry. Since last year, the closure of 3 locally influential companies has provided more opportunities for other manufacturers to temporarily alleviate the fierce competition in the market. However, the utilization rate of production resources in the production area has reached only 70%, far from the normal level of history.
