Textile Off-Season Quietly: Printing And Dyeing Costs Rise, Gray Cloth To Change Profits

It has been said that the textile market "gold three silver four red May", that is to say, in the first half of 3-5, the market will gradually improve, according to the past tradition, during this period, many manufacturers will go to stock more smoothly, but this year the situation is a bit special, grey fabric inventory has not been pferred smoothly, in contrast, after the end of April, the industry inventory has an upward trend, some manufacturers have more inventory, and even pile up outside the warehouse.

In terms of products sold, there is no big bright spot in the recent fabric market turnover, and the varieties are also mixed. Although the simulation silk products are the main varieties currently traded, the turnover is quite different from that of last year.

Inventory rises, grey cloth factory issue price notice

"In the past, the imitation silk list in the factory had to be finished at the end of May, early June and after the end of April this year.

Wujiang area, a silk imitation boss Wang said.

In addition, Oxford cloth as the main product of bags and fabrics, this year's performance is also poor, it is reported that the recent polyester filament Oxford cloth turnover is weak, manufacturers inventory rise obviously, all bullet products although performance is acceptable, but stamina is insufficient.

According to the monitoring data of Chinese silk net sample enterprises, there are about 38 days of billet storage in Shengze, which has increased by nearly half a month compared with the same period last year.

Facing the increasing inventory, cloth boss's heart is secretly anxious.

As early as the middle of April, when I visited the market, many textile owners said that if the market was still so weak, we did not rule out this year's advance in price, in order to seize market share.

Sure enough, on the first working day of a small holiday, textile enterprises will issue new price adjustment information: the quotation will be reduced by 5 points.

In fact, this price adjustment information is only one of many information. With the implementation of the previous orders, the new single tracking is slow, resulting in a small number of manufacturers have entered the off-season without a single state, and the stock market has increased significantly.

Although in order to retain workers and retain market share, manufacturers will not reduce the operating rate, but in the face of an increasingly weak market outlook, many manufacturers began to reduce prices at the end of April.

According to the boss of a small textile factory specializing in processing, Tucao: "in the first half of the year, customers always keep the list, but this year I don't feel much. But I can't stop the machine. If I stop, I will lose more. I can only keep my head on the scalp to produce conventional products as stock."

In fact, it is not only weaving enterprises, but also traders are facing difficulties. In addition to sluggish demand, the mode of customer orders is changing, and the cost of printing and dyeing has increased. This has also become a major factor that troubles traders at this stage.

Excessive cost increases, traders worry

Since the Xiangshui bombings, the phenomenon of rising dye prices has not been alleviated by the rising price of dyestuffs. Although the voice of notices on the increase of market fees has dropped noticeably in late April, the cost of printing and dyeing has also risen in practice.

According to the printing and dyeing Market, at present, because the number of orders in the fabric market is not satisfactory, the dyeing factory's business is also less than usual. In the beginning of April, most of the dyeing fees had been raised, and then it was also unable to bear the burden. Therefore, the fabric enterprises could afford such an increase for the time being.

"At present, the increase is about 5%. For our orders, we can eat in this range."

Traders Zhao said.

In fact, for most dyeing factories, they usually store up half a year's dye in advance, so now it's only a choice between raising prices and making less money, but if the dye continues to rise, then the price increase will continue for the printing and dyeing industry with strong voice.

"At present, we haven't changed the cost of dyeing, but some of the costs of the color increase are relatively large, especially those like dark red and black. Some customers can't accept this extra cost increase, and the order will not come down."

Shengze District dyeing plant salesman said.

Indeed, from the traders' understanding, the current delivery time of dyeing factories is not very long. For the traditional small peak season in May, it can be said that it is idle, and the average delivery time is about 7 days. However, with the increase of dye, the huge increase in excess cost is really too much for them.

"Last week I went to the dyeing factory to make samples, and the person in charge told me that a red light and super cost I wanted would probably increase by 5 yuan / meter, which allowed me to quote the price to the customer, and I felt that the order would be broken down because of the price."

Traders General Wu said.

The current textile market was originally "cold wind", whether it is weaving factories or traders, textile bosses are faced with the lack of orders, rising costs, profit compression and other pressures.

After all, according to tradition, next summer clothing orders will gradually reduce, the clothing orders in autumn and winter have not yet started, the market reversal is hindered, and the middle "empty window period" is longer than in previous years. This year's off-season will come earlier.
