Global Spread Of The Epidemic Aggravate The Risk Of Market And Industrial Chain Synergy. Is Fabric Foreign Trade Company OK?

"Gold three silver four" is the peak of the annual revenue of textile enterprises, but this year it is somewhat different. With the spread of the new crown pneumonia, the alarm is constantly being heard all over the world, especially for our fabric enterprises. Foreign trade oriented fabric enterprises are facing great challenges. 。

Order reduction

Global trade faces resistance

With the spread of the new global crown pneumonia epidemic, The worries of China's textile enterprises have gradually shifted from the shortage of raw materials and logistics to the following orders.

"I was too worried to sleep at midnight. Italy has sealed up our country. We had several orders a few years ago. Recently, customers have notified all relevant orders to be suspended. Now, our warehouse is full of goods. I really don't know what to do. "

"The company originally went abroad to attend the accessories exhibition in April, and the cost was paid. But recently, the staff of the exhibition told us that we could not participate in the exhibition, and the cost could not be refunded. Although we can keep the booth quota within two years, we can take part in other exhibitions at other times, but it has caused great losses to the company's current foreign trade business. It is expected that the annual export volume will shrink by 10%.

"Besides the sale of several kinds of limited varieties, such as melted spray cloth, imitation silk and Asian spring spinning, the sale of other grey fabrics will be limited. The company has launched an overseas electricity supplier business, but there are almost no orders and enquiries at the moment.

As the leaders of all the enterprises mentioned above agree with each other, "this year's foreign trade business is not good enough" has become the resonance of many fabric enterprises. In an interview with reporters, several enterprises responsible person generally indicated that Although there has not been a large-scale breach of contract in the order, but as the epidemic continues to spread in many countries around the world, they are worried about future overseas orders.

The epidemic is spreading all over the world. On the one hand, China's textile enterprises may face further decline in overseas demand, and on the other hand increase the risk that the upstream and downstream industries can not cooperate. 。

In March 11th, the latest service trade barometer released by WTO showed that During the period from the end of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, the growth of Global trade in services continued to weaken, with the business index of 96.8, down from 98.4 in the previous period, and 100 below the baseline value, indicating that global trade in services continued to face resistance.

According to the General Administration of Customs of China, In 2020 1~2, China exported textile yarn, fabrics and products 13 billion 772 million 500 thousand US dollars, down 19.9% compared with the same period last year. Our export garments and accessories 16 billion 62 million 300 thousand US dollars, down 20% compared to the same period last year.

Non decreasing but increasing

Turning danger into machine has every trick.

The direct impact of domestic outbreaks on exports has emerged, and the continued spread and fermentation of overseas epidemics has made the foreign trade enterprises that are intensifying the "return to blood" hit again. But faced with the difficult situation of the industry, the reporter found that There are still fabric enterprises to make their lives "spring" and draw a strong upward curve.

Early resumption of work has become the "first hand chess" of many enterprises under the epidemic. ? Zhejiang kruson Textile Technology Co., Ltd. Since the resumption of production in February 12th, it has quickly recalled employees to make full orders through chartered cars, special trains, reimbursement of round-trip expenses and so on. 1~2 export orders increased by 10% over the same period last month.

In Zhejiang Yuan Zheng cloth art Co., Ltd. In the production workshop, the 5 production lines are currently full of horsepower, and the workers wear masks to carry out the final procedure before the finished products are laid off. Shi Fayuan, chairman of the company, said: "the upward trend in orders is dependent on the" resumption of work, early recovery and quick policy ". Now, the company's export orders are scheduled for July this year, the contract amount is 5% higher than that of the same period last year, and the company is working overtime every day. The government promptly helped us to issue a force majeure fact proof so that the company could avoid any dispute on some contracts. The government service commissioner has also provided a lot of help and guidance to enterprises in policy subsidies, logistics and transportation.

"Our company exported $10 million 700 thousand in the first two months, 2.45 times the same period last year. Under the special situation of epidemic prevention and control, it is very exciting for every employee in our enterprise to achieve such a good performance. ? Liu Yi, deputy general manager of Dezhou Yuanji Textile Co., Ltd. It said that due to a sudden outbreak of production disrupted the production plan, enterprises were faced with a high risk of default. "In this regard, we actively reflect to the relevant departments appeals, and soon received a response. Enterprises have been approved to resume production from the third year of the new year, strictly control epidemic prevention and control according to the requirements, and make full efforts at the same time to dispel the doubts of customers and solve the problems faced by enterprises.

Shaoxing Jing Dian Textile Co., Ltd. Mainly engaged in knitted, woven, jacquard, printing and other clothing fabrics, only in early March, orders turnover has exceeded 1 million 200 thousand U.S. dollars. Recently, Huang Peigong, the general manager of the company, was very busy. He said recently that the company had just received 3 million large sheets of men's and women's clothing and sent them to the US market. Huang Peigong pointed out the reason for the rising trend: "a complete supply chain is a magic weapon for us to win the market." From raw material selection to fabric dyeing processing, and then to clothing design and product sales, the company has been producing and selling itself. We have self operated stores in the US market for spot sales in the form of retail and wholesale. At present, foreign markets are very popular with cash. "

In Liao Hongying, assistant general manager of Linde Textile Co., Ltd. It seems that it is their "winning magic weapon" to prepare for the production of upstream semi-finished products or raw materials needed in the future and avoid interruptions in the supply chain. "We prepared well at the end of last year and had a large volume of stock, so it did not affect normal production. Now, the company's order is fully arranged by July. " Liao Hongying told reporters that she planned to take an annual leave in May or June, but because of the "explosion of single", 8 was "wasted". However, she still worries: "at present, the factory is located in Ethiopia also found an epidemic, local schools have begun to suspend classes, so whether the future operation of the company will be affected, is still unknown."

"Good fortune depends on each other"

Accelerated upgrading of fabric industry

There is danger in danger. Many industry experts judged that The outbreak will accelerate the polarization of the entire fabric industry and the survival of the fittest. "A sudden outbreak is not a negative effect, but it can be said that" good fortune depends on each other ". The fabric industry has always been the state of "big industries and small businesses". The pressure brought by the epidemic has accelerated the elimination rate of backward enterprises, and for the enterprises with core competitiveness, there are more opportunities in 2020.

Since February 10th, most enterprises have started online office. Many foreign trade oriented fabric enterprises are no exception. They started the online remote service early. "The national online office undoubtedly speeds up the transformation of the textile industry digitally, so that many enterprises are more deeply aware of the efficiency and convenience of online office." This expert predicts that during this period, there will be many online related business models, and the textile industry will usher in the acceleration of digital transformation.

In addition, it is worth noting that in the overall decline in foreign trade, China's imports and exports in the first two months still have positive factors. Customs statistics show that In the first two months of this year, China's imports and exports of traditional trade partners such as the European Union, the United States and Japan declined, and the total import and export volume of ASEAN reached 594 billion 110 million yuan, up 2% over the same period last year. ASEAN has become China's largest trading partner.

In the same period, China and the countries along the "belt and road" achieved total import and export volume of 1 trillion and 300 billion yuan, an increase of 1.8% over the same period last year, which is 11.4 percentage points higher than China's foreign trade growth rate, accounting for 31.7%, and the proportion exceeds 3. The deepening of economic and trade cooperation with the countries along the belt has expanded the space for China's foreign trade development.

"The export direction of our company is mainly aimed at the South American market, not only has the recent orders been not affected, but the customers have also added some orders. Because of the epidemic situation, we applied for an extension with our guests. Most of the guests expressed their understanding and acceptance. ? Responsible person of Zhejiang oasis dyeing and finishing Co., Ltd. Say.

For the market outlook, the General Administration of customs also pointed out in a recent announcement. China's foreign trade has strong resilience, and its adaptability and market development capabilities are strong. With the positive results of the epidemic prevention and control and the gradual implementation of policies and measures, the pace of resumption of production and production of foreign trade enterprises has accelerated and market confidence has been steadily restored. The impact of the epidemic on imports and exports is temporary and phased, and the trend of long-term development of foreign trade has not changed.
