Keqiao Light Textile City Color Card No One Inquires The Order Far Away.

Recently, according to customs statistics, in 2020 1-2, China exported 13 billion 772 million 500 thousand US dollars in textile yarn, fabrics and products, down 19.9% from the same period last year. In 2020 1-2, China exported garments and accessories 16 billion 62 million 300 thousand US dollars, down 20% compared with the same period last year.

Rough calculation, at present, the epidemic situation is more serious, the country has accounted for more than 30% of global GDP. Against this background, we are beginning to worry about whether the epidemic will affect global economic growth, and the recent stock markets in Europe, the United States and Asia have fallen. With the outbreak of the epidemic, logistics and shipping companies have been hit two times, and many well-known enterprises have been forced to be bought and reduced.

This worry is also spreading in the textile market. A textile boss of foreign trade says: "hard!" This year's foreign trade will be difficult.

Recently, according to customs statistics, in 2020 1-2, China exported 13 billion 772 million 500 thousand US dollars in textile yarn, fabrics and products, down 19.9% from the same period last year. In 2020 1-2, China exported garments and accessories 16 billion 62 million 300 thousand US dollars, down 20% compared with the same period last year.

This set of data shows that in 2020 1-2, China's textile and clothing exports all showed a downward trend. What are the reasons for this?

The new order is slow and orders are cancelled. The boss of foreign trade has a heart!

As early as the outbreak of the domestic epidemic, the textile industry was at a halt, which delayed the operation of the industry for 1 months, and the deadline for the order was postponed. It was not easy to wait until the market resumed. However, because of the shortage of workers, the downstream printing and dyeing terminal was slow, resulting in a delivery date of about 10 days, and some orders even on 20 days. The order is cancelled because of the time of delivery.

"Last year, we have just tried the water trade, and received some foreign trade orders before the year, which was originally ready for delivery. But affected by the epidemic, logistics and production were blocked. Now some orders have been canceled." Xu, who has just entered the foreign trade circle, said. In addition, there are many textile owners said that after the start, orders are not as good as expected, and even textile boss said, started nearly 10 days, but did not open the bill!

Entering the March, most textile enterprises have started normal operation. Although the degree of commencement is affected by the return of migrant workers, normal business links have been launched normally. However, it is understood that this year's foreign trade orders are not as good as expected. Only a few textile bosses indicated that orders were issued before the year. Many textile bosses indicated that the big ones were missing, the volume of orders was significantly reduced, and even the price reduction operations had been made, leading to a more difficult textile boss than in previous years.

China's textile city is not booming, and the market is bleak.

Because of the epidemic, the operation time of China Light Textile City has been adjusted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Although more than 80% of the operators have already opened their doors to greet guests, they can compare with the previous 100 thousand passenger trips per day for ten days, and this figure is only ten thousand.

　　 Operators of China Light Textile City:

No one was there. No one came to pick up the color card.

Operators of China Light Textile City:

Orders are almost absent.

Operators of China Light Textile City:

It costs thousands of dollars to open the door.

Fei Lianmei has been in the market for 20 years, and 60% of his customers have been from Wuhan for many years. A shop has a rent of about one million per year, but in the face of these days, she admits that it has given up its business in spring and summer.

More than half of the losses are expected.

Without new customers, there will be no new orders. According to a local survey report for the textile industry, 78.4% of the enterprises indicated that the market orders were reduced, and 64.8% of the enterprises reflected that the existing orders were cancelled by the customers. In the past 20 years, the local textile leading enterprise, Yongsheng industry and trade, has placed 8 negotiating tables in the exhibition hall full of new products. In previous years, customers who came to the house wanted to use tables and chairs to queue up, but this year, these desks and chairs have become "cold stools".

Who upgraded the risk of global viral transmission to "the highest level".

With the further spread of the new crown virus in the world, the number of confirmed cases has increased. WHO upgraded global risk rating to the highest level. Affected by this, global capital markets tumbled day after day, and US stocks continued to fall. For textile enterprises, if the epidemic continues to spread, exports will be affected.

"Nearly 5 of our businesses are in European countries. If the epidemics continue to spread abroad, our business will certainly be affected. Now we are considering whether to adjust the proportion and focus on the domestic market. "The trader admitted.

In addition, due to the epidemic, China's textile and clothing fabrics exhibition has been postponed, which has led to the fact that enterprises can not get to know new customers through exhibitions, which is also a great loss. Moreover, with the spread of the epidemic, foreign exhibitions have been postponed or even cancelled.

It is understood that at present, South Korea, Italy, Japan, Iran, the epidemic situation is more serious, of which Japan, Italy and China's textile and clothing exports are highly correlated.

But there are also textile bosses, who are not worried: "as long as the epidemic is contained, the complete industrial chain of China will attract overseas countries to place orders. At present, the reduction of orders is only temporary."

Orders returned by Southeast Asian countries are hard to come back!

Last year's foreign trade was hard to do. Many textile traders believed that the main cause of the trade was the Sino US trade war. The Sino US trade relations were repeated, divided and merged. The uncertainty and long-term nature led to the textile enterprises greatly reducing the quantity of orders. Especially when tariffs were imposed in 5 and June last year, many enterprises said they had been cancelled orders. Households shifted their orders to Southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and Kampuchea, especially Vietnam, where textile exports continued to rise last year.

This year, Sino US trade relations have made substantial improvement, but the market seems to have not responded to this news very much. They are rather calm. They may be scared by the repeated fears. A foreign trade textile boss said: "one of our company's big customers, 18 years of orders, is 1 million dollars, 19 years less than 500 thousand, directly cut down half, according to customers. This is because China and the United States trade tariffs, and many parts of Southeast Asia are zero tariffs, so they chose to place their orders in Southeast Asia. This part of the order that has been issued in Southeast Asia will take some time to get back.

Turkey textile manufacturers are busy ordering orders.

Turkey's main textile and garment manufacturers are busy to meet fast-growing orders, because the industry's capacity has reached 85%.

"We expect clothing exports to grow by 10%. Karadu, chairman of the Turkey Garment Manufacturers Association (TGSD), told the state-run anatolus agency: "the commercial loss of China's garment industry 1-2% is likely to be placed in Turkey."

Karadu said that the export volume of Turkey's clothing industry last year was 17 billion 700 million dollars, while China's exports amounted to 173 billion dollars.

However, Karasu points out that the industry does not have enough room to accept more orders.

"We must increase production capacity. In addition, we should update the technology and complete the digital transformation. "

Karadu said Turkey textile industry does not seek any profits caused by coronavirus and is willing to cooperate with the Chinese side.

"We want the world to eradicate this disease, because we do not want to get any benefits from it," he stressed.

Karasu stressed that the lira's devaluation of other currencies made Turkey's exporters more competitive.

"European buyers are beginning to question why they want to go to China," he said. He added that Turkey has an advantage over the Far East in terms of deadlines.

At the beginning of 2019, the US dollar / lira exchange rate was 5.29, which was about 6.24 last weekend.

He also said that because of the tension between the United States and China, American companies have turned to Turkey. "Turkey will be concerned by us sourcing companies in the next 10 years."

According to sources in the industry, some clothing exporters in Istanbul found that orders from European companies surged by 40%-50%, and they did not want to reveal their names.

The brands said that the famous Turkey brands, which were mainly purchased from far east countries, began placing orders in Turkey, because consumers were worried about the "made in China" products and pointed out the capacity of Turkey.

Previously, the textile fabric platform reported that $2 billion of clothing orders will flow from China to Turkey, and the bigger crisis is still behind.

Two Turkey officials said that due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic in China, a number of fashion retailers will transfer their production orders to Turkey producers. One official predicted that the total amount of new orders generated could reach up to $2 billion.

Hadi Karasu, head of Turkish Clothing Manufacturers' Association (Turkey clothing manufacturers association), said Hadi. "Purchasing managers and designers are unable to travel to China because of concerns about the epidemic and traffic restrictions. Therefore, many famous brands have begun to discuss the transfer of their new products to Turkey.

He said that in the past few years, the global dominance of Chinese manufacturing industry has been increasing, so manufacturers in Turkey are constantly shifting their production lines to the production of high-end clothing. But the epidemic has led many European and American brands to consider turning their production back to Turkey.

Due to the currency crisis in 2018, lira in Turkey has depreciated by 36% in the past two years, which has greatly reduced Turkey's production costs. At the same time, China's production costs are increasing, the gap between the two is shrinking, coupled with the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the attractiveness of Turkey makes further growth. Hadi Karasu said: "with the narrowing of the manufacturing cost gap between China and Turkey, some European companies (before the outbreak) are considering moving the production line to Turkey."

LPP, a fashion retailer in Poland, said earlier that it was negotiating with factories in Turkey, Bangladesh and Vietnam as a backup plan to deal with further delays in China's production.

"In 2019, China's clothing exports amounted to about $170 billion." Hadi Karasu added: "according to our calculations, about 1% of the orders will be transferred to Turkey, and the total value is expected to be around $2 billion."

In 2019, the total exports of garments in Turkey amounted to US $17 billion 700 million. As an export oriented economy, any promotion of its export growth will improve its current fiscal deficit and greatly push the government of Turkey to achieve the preset 5% economic growth target.

Mustafa Gultepe, director of the Istanbul Apparel Exporters' Association (Istanbul apparel exporters association), said that more and more existing and new customers are communicating with Turkey's factories, and Turkey's manufacturing industry has the ability to undertake these additional orders. Gultepe said: "since the outbreak of the new coronavirus, clothing retailers have been asking about the price and output of the Turkey plant. I think if the impact of the epidemic lasts for five to six months, there will be a massive order out of China from May. "

summary

Last year's foreign trade situation was rather difficult, resulting in a decline in the volume of textile enterprises' orders and the shrinking profits. Many textile people would like to send it to 2020, but it turned out to be the opposite. At the beginning of 2020, it was disrupted by an outbreak. At present, whether the trade situation will improve this year depends on whether the epidemic can be effectively controlled and whether the Sino US trade war can really ease. There will always be an end to the epidemic. It is only a matter of time, and China's industrial chain is complete. No other country can match it. Textile bosses insist that they will usher in "spring" again.
