Recycled Fabric Orders Increase Price Doubled To Mainstream Fabric Trend In The Future

More than half of September, the traditional peak season is still small, but there are some bright spots in the market that deserve our attention. Under the booming textile market, the niche products will become the mainstream trend in the future. In addition to T400, T800, broken card and other niche products sales volume is particularly prominent in the market, a fabric is also the top.

It is recycled fabric.

300 thousand M recycled fabric orders coming

Recently, recycled and environmentally-friendly fabrics have sprung up like mushrooms. Many weaving factories turn machines to produce recycled green fabric, and fabric manufacturers also advocate recycling of environmental fabrics, and take many orders.

One person in charge of the industry and trade integration enterprise, who is a professional peach peel, disclosed to Xiaobian that in recent years, according to the requirements of customer orders, a matting and regenerated peach skin fabric was produced. It received a single volume of 300 thousand meters and has just been completed. The new order is now on the way again, and it is expected that the latter part will still be small.

Xiao Li, a salesman from another trading company, introduced the recent trade situation to Xiaobian. "This year's total orders are not as many as last year. The number of orders began to improve in September, with more orders for regenerated fabrics, mainly with recycled spring spun, recycled Oxford cloth and regenerated four rounds. An order is about 20 thousand meters, the amount is considerable.

Why are recycled fabrics doubling in price?

According to the recent orders, we can see that the recycled fabric has a good sales momentum. The taffeta, hot imitation silk and other fabrics have been overshadowed by recycled fabrics. The same kind of polyester taffeta is made of recycled fiber, and the fabric labeled "renewable environmental protection" becomes a high-end product, but its price is quite different from that of ordinary polyester. The price of recycled and environmentally-friendly fabrics is 50% higher than that of conventional fabrics, and 80% of fabric finished products.

In fact, recycled fabrics are not just raw materials using recycled yarn, but all companies involved in the production and operation of products must comply with the GRS standard, that is, from raw materials, weaving, printing and dyeing, even clothing, all the factories involved must meet the GRS standard. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why clothing buyers can accept two times the price of conventional fabrics.

Is there any difficulty in the production process of recycled and environmentally-friendly fabrics? In fact, the threshold is not low, but it is not very easy to apply, it can be said that "gold content" is relatively high. Zhang also told Xiaobian that his production of matting and regenerated peach skin is much more difficult than ordinary recycled fabrics. First, it comes from raw materials, and the raw materials for extinction are very few, and the raw materials are difficult. Secondly, dyeing and printing needs very mature dyeing technology, otherwise the cloth will easily be flawed.

Can recycled fabrics become the future trend?

Zara parent Inditex group announced at its annual shareholders' meeting on July 16, 2019 local time that the group's 7500 stores will be efficient, energy saving and environmental friendly before 2019. Before 2025, 100% of all brands of the group including Zara, Pull & Bear and Massimo Dutti will be made of sustainable fabrics.

With the support of EU policy guidance and textile giant companies, the demand for recycled clothing is booming rapidly in the world, and the technology of recycled and environmentally-friendly fabrics is becoming more and more mature. In addition, the concept of environmental sustainability of consumers is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, they are more willing to buy recycled and environmentally-friendly clothing, so the sales momentum of this kind of fabric is soaring.

The supply of downstream recycled fabrics is increasing, which means that the demand for regenerated flakes in China is further enlarged. According to statistics, in 2019 1-5, the total import volume of regenerated flakes was 225 thousand tons, compared with 97 thousand and 700 tons in the same period in 2018, an increase of 127 thousand and 300 tons, an increase of 56.6%.

More and more fashion consumers are losing interest in opaque and rough workmanship. They begin to look for clothes and accessories that conform to moral standards, wear and style. Zhang learned from his sales of recycled green fabric orders that the sales of recycled and environmentally-friendly fabrics in 2020 will be the main trend in the future.

Xiaobian is also very much in favor of Zhang's view that renewable environmental fabric has greater room for development, or will lead the future fabric market.
