This year, the quota of imported cotton has been reduced, and the textile enterprises in the mainland have turned cotton to domestic cotton. Although the price of cotton has gone from "policy market" to marketization, domestic and foreign cotton price spreads have narrowed gradually, but in a short time, the advantages of imported yarn in labor cost and raw material cost still exist, and the domestic low-end cotton yarn market is under attack. In addition, textile enterprises also generally reflect that domestic cotton, especially Xinjiang machine picked cotton, is troubled by "three silk" problems due to plastic film problems, especially the headache. Many textile enterprises have been compensated by downstream manufacturers because of the "three wire" problem, and the loss is serious.

"As an intermediate link, factories are pressed on both sides." A textile enterprise worker complained, "upstream cotton ginning factory sells leather cotton to require cash settlement, but the downstream factories buy Yarn often credit, causing our capital chain to be stretched tightly". In terms of purchase and sale, textile enterprises above designated size are also generally in low inventory (excluding long staple cotton, imported cotton) and low inventory of products, in order to control costs and ease financial pressure.

The cost of raw materials has no advantages, and the sales of products are not as good as before. Some textile enterprises are forced to limit production, stop production, or even switch to production.

It is understood that the textile scale of about 5 million spindles in Dezhou, nearly 1 million spindles production capacity is in the production and production shutdown situation, the proportion of cotton textile has dropped to almost 50%, and the cotton spinning production capacity is less than 2 million spindles. In the textile enterprises, the enterprises that have not been transformed are pushed to the edge of bankruptcy step by step, and the textile industry has entered the "transition" section.

The futures Daily reporter contacted several good companies in the survey, though the scale of the textile varies from 50 thousand spindles to 1 million spindles. The products cover 3 to 140 pure cotton yarns, Tencel, modal and cotton blended yarns, but they are all unique, with fixed customer groups and product positioning. Most of them, through the allocation of 80% conventional varieties to ensure the start-up rate, configure 20% special varieties to create profits.

It is understood that the impact of cheap imported yarn is the largest combed 32 pure cotton ring spinning machine yarn, which is the largest domestic output. Inevitably, some enterprises took the route of differentiation, and chose to produce high count yarn, 3 to 32 combed siro spinning and so on. For example, Dezhou Xiajin County Ruixin Textile Co., Ltd. now mainly produces 20 to 40 pure cotton combed yarn and cotton modal yarn. According to the person in charge, usually the number of conventional varieties of cotton quality requirements are not too high, but they are using high quality cotton, can spin 60 or so combed cotton yarn. The difference between the high and low count yarn and the low matching yarn is realized.

At the same time, under the condition that the whole textile market is not very prosperous, another textile enterprise, Dezhou Hengfeng Textile Co., Ltd. is expanding in an opposite direction. While adopting the differentiation strategy, it actively transforms and shifts the production emphasis from cotton spinning to new fiber. According to the person in charge, the company has a total capacity of 1 million spindles, mainly based on differentiated products, and is ready to expand to 1 million 300 thousand ingots by the end of 2015.

At present, the amount of cotton used by the company is less than 1/3 of the total textile raw materials. Cotton is mainly used for high-end cotton yarns and blending with acrylic and modal. It is estimated that the new production capacity of 300 thousand spindles is also very low for cotton production. In the past four years, the average annual cotton production decreased by 7% - 8%.

Downstream textile companies, although orders and profits have improved over the years, it is a question whether the improvement of orders can continue. The industry is generally struggling, and most of the small and medium-sized enterprises are struggling between micro deficit and micro surplus.
