The Winter Of Domestic Textile Enterprises Has Not Gone Far.

China's Customs announced the import volume of cotton in October. As announced in the previous 8 and September, imports continued to decline.

According to China Customs data, the import volume in 2013 was about 4 million 160 thousand tons. In 2014, the volume of cotton imports in China was about 2 million 750 thousand tons, while in 2015 1-10 cotton imports were about 1 million 200 thousand tons.

Not only the total import volume of cotton in China continued to decline, but also the monthly import volume also showed a downward trend. According to the statistics of China Customs, 70 thousand tons of cotton were imported in August 2015, 50 thousand tons of cotton were imported in September 2015, and the import volume dropped to 42 thousand tons in October 2015.

Ye Jianchun, vice president of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, once said that the actual operating rate of domestic textile enterprises in 2014 was 7000-8000 million ingots, and the actual operating rate in 2015 was only 5000-6000 million spindles.

Indeed, over the past two years, a large number of domestic textile enterprises have been shut down and shut down, even though the start-up enterprises have not been able to produce normally.

Reporters visited Shandong textile enterprises to understand that local enterprises generally operate at 60-80% (the size of the enterprise is different, the product grades are different, the operating rate will be different).

As the import volume continues to decline, who is behind the scenes? Some say the difference between the inside and outside cotton prices is narrowed. Others say that the cotton enterprises in the mainland have moved abroad to build factories, and some even say that they are quotas.

The above is not unreasonable, but who is the real behind the curtain? I think the main reason is the import yarn impact and the downstream demand market weakness.

At present, the survival of the domestic textile industry is rather difficult, the order is reduced, and the profits of the products have been greatly reduced.

Live to become the biggest luxury of textile enterprises.

According to China Customs data, in 2015 1-9, China's cotton import volume has reached about 1800000 tons, and by the end of the year, 2 million tons is not a big problem.

When a large number of imported yarns are raging, the domestic textile enterprises are hard to resist, and basically withdraw from the competition of 40 lower end cotton yarn products.

In order to continue to survive, they can only compete for the high-end market.

Cotton imports are in line with last year's cotton imports. However, the import volume of cotton has dropped sharply, which is also related to the more intense competition and weak demand in the global market.

ASEAN and so on

As well as developing countries with low cost advantages to speed up the development of export-oriented industries, especially the clothing trade industry, the pressure of trade protection and competition faced by China in the international market is further increasing. The trend of orders shifting outward is obvious, leading to the poor export situation of textiles and clothing, coupled with the slow recovery of the international economy, and the reduction of export orders. Therefore, domestic cotton imports have declined sharply.
