　　 Is it a disaster caused by shopping malls?

With large-scale closure, domestic clothing Shoe brand Performance has also plummeted. In a semi annual report, a number of garment companies said that the industry was greatly impacted by e-commerce, profits were reduced, commercial prices and prices continued to rise, staff salaries continued to rise, and circulation cost increased. At the same time, department stores are becoming increasingly flagging, which has also led to the sales predicament of clothing shoe companies.

Hasen's semi annual report showed that business income decreased by 178 million yuan, down 17.08%, gross profit margin fell 10.58%, reduced by 53 million 349 thousand yuan, and operating profit dropped 36.24% over the same period.

In a word, 32% of the total number of stores closed due to the reasons of the cooperative shopping malls.

As the main carrier of clothing footwear enterprises, department stores really have an important impact on brand sales. Clothing industry expert and independent clothing analyst Ma Gang said that the number of department stores is increasing and its location is uneven. The location of newly opened department stores is often not located in the gold trading area, and positioning is also more inclined to make up for the living consumption requirements of the surrounding residents. The overall function coverage is not enough, it will affect the sales of clothing brand.

However, the industry believes that the decline in clothing footwear industry revenue is mainly caused by reduced demand. In addition, as foreign fast fashion brands, light luxury brands and even luxury brands have gradually ploughed into the mainland market and sank to the two or three tier cities, the buyers of traditional domestic clothing brands have been diverted, leading to a sharp increase in the pressure of domestic clothing brand inventory, and enterprises have recovered the funds through price wars, but they have triggered a vicious circle.

　　 Adapting to the environment and finding potential customers

In addition, the men's clothing brands such as Li Lang, CABBEEN, Lang Zi, Goldlion and so on are income and net profit double slide, performance decline trend is difficult to reverse. According to the insiders, the men's wear market is narrower than that of women's clothing, and excellent designers and salesmen are even more scarce. Zhao Pei, a clothing industry expert, points out that local brand men's clothing is generally not designed with strong sense, single color and homogeneity. Local men's clothing is widely managed by channels, and sales channels are mainly based on franchising and agency, often lacking retail experience. "If the future performance is not strong enough, I'm afraid the men's clothing brand will repeat the mistakes of sportswear enterprises," Zhao Pei said.

In Ma Gang's view, the domestic clothing market environment has changed enormously. When the electricity supplier channel grows, the number of stores is no longer an absolute advantage. When the performance is not ideal, closing the poor, poor location shops can also ease the pressure of business. The difficulties faced by domestic garment enterprises are phased problems. Enterprises should maintain balance through internal adjustment and adaptation to external environment. "Every industry has cyclical laws. In addition to adjusting the design, it is more important to strengthen the grasp of the market. The main consumer groups are fast. Fashion brand When competing with foreign luxury brands, change products, prices, marketing strategies and find new customers instead of simply changing the style of products. Ma Gang said.
