Vietnam, Kampuchea And Burma Will Soon Be Closed Down. UNIQLO, Gap And Nike Are Facing A Risk Of Product Failure.

According to Japanese media, although some international fashion brands have transferred some of their production lines to Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam, Kampuchea and Burma still rely on the mainland to supply raw materials, such as Vietnamese sewing products, which use about 60% of the raw materials from the mainland.

Taking UNIQLO as an example, the delivery time of its Vietnamese factories has been delayed for about two weeks, which may lead to an inventory shortage in UNIQLO in March, and some new products of UNIQLO have been delayed.

UNIQLO and Nike Vietnam supplier Saigon 3 Garment, its raw materials are only enough to reach the end of 2.

The situation in UNIQLO may be even worse.

Although the fast retailing company of UNIQLO brand has allocated 50% of its garment factories to China, the number of orders in Vietnam's main factories is about 20%. Unfortunately, the Japanese company could not have imagined that both China and Vietnam were affected by the epidemic. At the same time, it is not optimistic that whether China or Vietnam or other ASEAN countries' factories, 60% of raw materials and accessories must rely on China's supply. China's supply chain and transport disruptions have begun to spread to Southeast Asia.

In terms of production, half of its parent companies are still on the mainland; Vietnam has nearly 20% of the core sewing factories; there are also some production lines in Kampuchea, and Kampuchea is also one of the countries that rely on the mainland to supply raw materials, and the impact may be even greater.

　 Supply sources must be found, otherwise production will be suspended.

Vietnam's "industrial and Commercial Daily" has named some factory names which are affected by the shortage of materials in Vietnam, and believes that they must find the source of supply, otherwise they can only stop production.

Vietnam tenth textile mill is a well-known clothing brand Gap and Tommy Hill Fei Ge supplier, the production process of 50% of raw materials need to be imported from China, at present, in March and April, a large number of orders can not be delivered on time.

Xigong No. three Textile JOINT-STOCK Company is supplying exclusively to UNIQLO and Nike. At present, the stock of surplus raw materials is only enough to reach production in March.

Ken Loo, secretary-general of the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, said that more than 60% of the clothing industry in Kampuchea used mainland raw materials. At present, although more than half of the raw materials factories in mainland China have been restarted, the production capacity has not yet been fully recovered, so Kampuchea's garment factories may suspend or suspend production. "Manufacturers

Kampuchea Labor Department spokesman Heng Sour said last week that about 90 thousand workers in more than 200 factories would be temporarily suspended if new raw materials were not supplied in March.

Japanese fashion brands have delayed the release of many new products, including the Uniqlo U jacket launched in the spring and summer series, which was originally planned for sale in February 21st. The release plans for other new products have been postponed until March. Meanwhile, UNIQLO's website in Japan released information that brand clothing production and distribution will be delayed due to the new crown pneumonia virus.

"If Chinese factories continue to postpone the resumption of work, we will suffer even greater losses," a spokesman for the Xun Marketing Company sighed.

Besides the mask, clothes and clothing are still important life needs, and the clothing industry is affected by the epidemic. Once the supply chain is out of order, it is just like this infectious disease. The problem of supply chain is being infected from other industries to the textile and garment industry.
