The Epidemic Has Exposed The Drawbacks Of The Traditional Supply Chain Of Textile And Clothing.

First, the textile industry is hindered by the epidemic.

In the global epidemic situation, data show that in the 1-2 months of 2020, the garment industry above designated size enterprises completed 2 billion 512 million garment production, down 36.61% compared with the same period last year (according to the National Bureau of Statistics). In terms of domestic sales, total retail sales of consumer goods amounted to 52130 billion yuan in 1-2 months in 2020, down 20.5% from the same period last year. Among them, the total retail sales of clothing products above the quota reached 110 billion 300 million yuan, down 33.2% from the same period last year. (according to the National Bureau of Statistics), in the 1-2 months of 2020, China exported 16 billion 62 million US dollars in clothing and accessories exports, down 20% compared with the same period last year (according to China Customs Data). Obviously, the "new crown pneumonia" in the first 2020 years will undoubtedly cause a serious impact on the garment industry. Practitioners who are engaged in the clothing and textile trade industry say that they know some factory owners who are the foundries of brands such as UNIQLO, and that the factories in Japan now may be better than those in the European and American markets, but Japanese customers, including UNIQLO, are afraid to place orders in the autumn and winter.

Two, after the epidemic, we have to face the fact that the market is basically saturated and it is difficult to boost domestic demand.

Zhou Dewen, President of Zhejiang Federation of private investment enterprises, believes that in order to solve the impact of the epidemic, the textile and garment industry mainly has two ways to refer to, one is the transformation of production masks and other epidemic prevention materials; the two is export to domestic sales, and electronic business platform sales cooperation, through live broadcast "bring goods".

1. for transformation, production of masks and other anti epidemic materials.

According to the China Textile Business Association, there were about 4 billion 540 million masks in China in 2018 and 5 billion in 2019, with an average of about 13000000 production per day. After the outbreak, such a situation was changed rapidly. As of February 29th, there were 116 million masks, including masks, medical masks and medical N95 masks. According to the data released by enterprises, by March 17th, the number of transboundary masks had reached 15528. Bloggers have commented that many domestic garment enterprises are also full of horsepower and change to make masks, but we call it the textile and garment industry to support the epidemic. It does not seem to be the same as the European and American fashion brand mouthwash, which is called the fashion industry under the epidemic situation. He also said that the domestic fashion industry does not include the textile and garment industry, mainly in the field of vision, media, fashion show and so on. The rest of the small brands are really too small to be mentioned.

Once the epidemic is over, it will be thoughtful for most of the domestic textile and garment enterprises that have switched to producing epidemic protection products.

2. for export to domestic sales

In fact, as early as 2010, China has entered the economic mode of turning foreign trade into domestic demand and relying on domestic demand to stimulate GDP growth. Domestic demand has contributed more than 50% to the economy, and is still growing rapidly. Foreign trade has no longer played a decisive role in the economy. Even if all foreign trade returns to zero, it will still maintain economic growth of five to 70%. Bloggers believe that the real crisis in China comes from the collapse of domestic demand.

There are several traders who only do the domestic market. "They are still proofing, and haven't received a decent order." "In the past year, we shipped at least three or four trucks to the garment factory. This year only a fabric of a car has been issued." the order of about one million meters of nylon spinning has been reduced to tens of thousands of meters by the customer. They are all in the same situation, and orders are much lower than in previous years.

When the foreign trade industry returns to the domestic market, it not only faces such problems, but also faces the situation of taking advantage of the fixed market with the new and old enterprises. The threshold of the textile trade is not high, and there are many entries, but the quantity of the order is limited, and it is difficult to avoid the trap of "low price competition", and also can not avoid the financial dispute of the request loan, so as to avoid the low price competition after the reduction of orders. The problem of loans is that many textile people have the idea of moving to foreign trade when conditions are ripe. After all, the overseas textile market is more extensive, and the delivery loan will have strict contractual constraints. At present, the overseas market is already on the edge of stagnation because of the epidemic. Some traders are planning to fight domestic trade from the foreign trade market, which will exacerbate the competition in this market. The buyer market of "supply is much bigger than demand" is about to take shape. All textile enterprises may face a situation that orders are "not enough to eat", and all kinds of prices and loans are difficult to meet.

3., the live broadcast market is still in wait-and-see stage.

AI media consulting data show that in 2019, the total scale of China's direct seeding e-commerce industry reached 433 billion 800 million yuan. It is estimated that the number of online live users will reach 524 million this year, and the market will exceed 900 billion yuan. As one of the most popular new business models last year, the direct seeding electricity supplier ushered in a new development climax during the epidemic prevention. While the development of direct seeding electricity supplier industry is booming, it also exposes some short board development, such as data fraud, content homogenization, hard to replicate the head anchor, game between brands and anchors. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, although the total retail sales of physical goods in China in the one or two months reached 11233 billion yuan, an increase of 3% over the same period last year, but in the online retail sales of physical commodities, the wearing commodities decreased by 18.1% compared with the same period last year, showing a marked decline. AI media consultation also surveyed that 27.21% of the respondents were optimistic about the future development of the direct seeding electricity supplier, and 46.26% of the respondents were neutral or wait and see. Whether the live broadcast business is the next outlet of the electricity supplier industry is still in the waiting stage.

Related experts said that the export of textiles was blocked, and the domestic market needed to be exerted. In the long run, it is the key to improve the industrial chain and supply chain.

Three, pointing to the disadvantages of traditional supply chain.

People who call themselves "cloud sea" are directly pointed out that "the textile and garment industry has been following the traditional logic and management methods from ancient times to the present for many years. The whole textile and garment industry is chaotic, the process is lengthy and lacks planning, and the layout is messy and chaotic. It is pointed out that the fundamental reason lies in the drawbacks of traditional textile and garment supply chain. The epidemic has amplified this malpractice, which has made it even worse.

"The situation and status quo of the textile and garment supply chain, which has been used for many years, has always followed the traditional and ancient methods and methods of operation. As with the" farmers who depend on the weather ", countless textile and apparel practitioners are basically still eating the same way as the farmer's uncle by" clapping their heads "and" empiricism ". "Because of the opacity of data and information, because almost every practitioner is a relatively independent information island, not to mention that even the information and data among every working group within each business entity are isolated and single, so in any product supply chain (or sales supply chain), no matter who is the main body of the business. Inside and outside, when our decision makers need to make decisions for a certain job and action, the information and resources they can get and are based on are often short and limited, and without exception, he can only make his own choice between experience and recklessness.

But he believes positively that "in the near future, we believe that in the near future, a cloud platform for the entire supply chain and process management of textile and apparel will soon be born. Whether it is clothing brand enterprises, or accessories suppliers, garment manufacturing enterprises, the two process enterprises, and even independent designers, the development of board and other textile and garment supply chain are relatively independent. The "cell body" can not only realize all the needs of the private sphere management within the public cloud platform, but also freely share the resources of almost all the external supply chains, such as the display and supply of surface accessories, procurement and transaction, quality, delivery time, price and even stock information resources. The suppliers of surface accessories or other "independent individuals" of supply chain can also make full use of cloud platform resources to manage their internal processes and operation rules, and even collect customer resources and share information. It not only realizes the demand of digital information management in all levels of enterprises, but also realizes the full range of data and information sharing, including the supply chain resources. Display and use to achieve clear demand at all levels, targeted supply, quality grades clear, fair and reasonable prices, accurate inventory, cooperation transparent and open.
