According to customs statistics, In the first 5 months of this year, the total export volume of textiles and clothing in China was 96 billion 160 million US dollars, down 1.17% from the same period last year, a decrease of 8.8 percentage points compared with the previous 4 months. Among them, the total export of textiles was 57 billion 950 million US dollars, an increase of 21.3% over the same period last year, and the total export of garments was US $38 billion 210 million, down 22.8% compared with the same period last year. In May, China's textile exports amounted to 20 billion 650 million US dollars, driven by the strong export of masks. Textile exports in May increased by 79.2% compared to the same period last year, and maintained a relatively high growth rate at the high growth rate of 51% in April. In the same month, China's clothing exports were 8 billion 910 million US dollars, down 24.4% from the same period last year, the decline was 3.3 percentage points higher than the previous month, but the overall situation is still at a historical low level. From the above data, we can see that Under the epidemic situation, the export of masks and other textile products for epidemic prevention is more obvious, and the demand for clothing market is slow to recover from the epidemic. Mask exports "alone"
Spinning enterprises need to return to main business
After the outbreak of oversea epidemic in March, China's textile enterprises quickly adjusted their production capacity, and a large number of China's production of masks and other anti epidemic materials were exported overseas, and textile exports rebounded significantly. According to official statistics, From March 1st to May 31st this year, China exported 70 billion 600 million masks to 200 countries and regions in the world, 340 million protective clothing, and the export scale showed a significant growth trend, which strongly supported the epidemic prevention and control in the relevant countries. But industry experts believe that Although the export of masks and other anti epidemic materials is still at a high level, there are signs of "being alone". In fact, the export of masks and other anti epidemic materials is not a normal demand. Therefore, the strong performance of this export product is hard to maintain and support the whole foreign trade market. It should be seen that The global epidemic has been gradual, and the demand for masks in the international market has weakened. The mask has also changed from the seller's market to the buyer's market. Some non professional, temporary access mask manufacturers, if there is no excellent quality assurance and good sales channels, may face the result of shuffle out. At the same time, overseas import requirements and domestic export regulation are becoming increasingly stringent. Now the mask exported to the United States must enter the white list of the United States. The mask exported to Europe must have SGS certificate, while domestic mask manufacturers can enter the white list and get SGS certificates. It will be more and more difficult for export enterprises to export masks. In the aspect of mask manufacturers, not only the spinning and weaving enterprises have switched to masks and protective clothing, but also large enterprises engaged in other industries have joined the mask production army. All this has enabled the mask production capacity to expand rapidly, further reducing the revenue margin of masks. Because some small and medium-sized enterprises themselves are weak in resisting risks, and the profits of the market are constantly being compressed, the collapse and loss crises are frequent. The head of a production masks manufacturer in Shandong said that since the 2 month entry mask industry, a production line can earn 5 million yuan a month, but after entering May, it obviously felt that the mask sales were laborious. He told reporters that at present, enterprises have to limit the mask production capacity. If enterprises do not have good customer resources and excellent qualifications, they simply can not get the list. With the struggle against the epidemic going into the second half, the resumption of normalization of global production is going further, and textile enterprises must face new market changes and make timely adjustments to production and operation. After the epidemic, how to return to the main business of textile enterprises is the right way to do a good job. The effect of complementary delivery is decreasing gradually.
Insufficient export orders will continue
At the moment, China's textile industry has gradually accelerated the pace of resuming production and production, and the order of textile and garment enterprises has been speeded up in the early stage. The products that have not been delivered before the lockup have been cleared up. In May, foreign trade exports improved briefly. However, with the gradual reduction of the "complementary delivery" effect, the shortage of new orders will become more and more common in textile and garment enterprises. The impact of the global epidemic has not yet fully recovered, and textile and garment exports still have many uncertainties. Some experts said that Although the developed countries such as Europe and the United States have been pressing the economic restart button, a small number of "short, flat and fast" export orders have been restored, but the characteristics of low prices, urgent goods and high standards are also outstanding. The textile manufacturers in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other export provinces have shown that the enthusiasm for receiving orders is not high. Analyze the reasons. First, because of the serious shortage of enterprises' orders and the difficulty of convergence, it is still necessary to consider whether the green light of the small orders should be considered; two, the fluctuation of the RMB exchange rate and raw material prices is relatively large. The small profit orders are likely to increase the business risks. Three, the trend of Sino US trade relations is uncertain and the situation is likely to change at any moment. Four, we are worried that the epidemic will fall two this autumn and winter. After the outbreak, some countries in Europe and the United States are likely to impose blockade measures again. Exporters are faced with the risk of difficulties in implementing contracts. The head of a children's clothing export company in Zhejiang said that the main export market of the enterprise is the United States. "The annual sales volume in the past year can be more than 100 million yuan RMB. The trade volume between China and the United States last year affected the shrinkage of orders. This year, the export volume of the United States dropped by more than 90%. At present, enterprises are hard to sustain, and it is hard to say how long it will last. If the order is not significantly improved in late June, the company will consider layoffs and improve the intensity of production cuts. A garment exporters in Jiangsu said that up to now, though the orders for several major European customers, such as Spain and Italy, which had been seriously affected by the epidemic, have returned to 40%~50% for the same period last year, but they are still obviously insufficient. The key is that almost no receipt has been received, and the price of the contract has been very low. The business operator added that enterprises are not thinking about how to live well, but how to "live". ? It is understood that At present, most of the textile enterprises mainly rely on "maintaining stability and ensuring cash", and some enterprises are going to cut down the starting rate again to meet the test.
