Domestic Demand Is Normal And Foreign Trade Pressure Is High. Why Are Henan Spinning Enterprises Polarized?

In recent times, the outbreak of new crown pneumonia lasted for half a year. Although domestic production has returned to normal, the domestic textile industry is still facing a grim situation due to the continued spread of foreign epidemics. As far as spinning is concerned, the operation of Henan spinning enterprises is quite representative.

Henan is an important yarn production base in China. At present, the annual output of yarn ranks third in the country, of which the output of pure cotton yarn is only inferior to that of Shandong. What is the current situation of spinning and weaving enterprises in Henan? What are we doing in the face of uncertain market environment?

Epidemic spread abroad

Foreign trade enterprises are greatly affected.

At present, the textile industry in Henan province presents the structural form of "large scale spinning and small clothing". After the Spring Festival, the cotton textile enterprises in Henan province resumed their work mainly in three stages. In the early days of reemployment, the demand for cotton yarn in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was large, and the number of enterprises increased. In the second stage, with the outbreak of foreign epidemic situation, foreign trade orders were abolished, and the focus of textile enterprises sold from exports to domestic sales led to pressure on domestic yarn production, and some enterprises stopped production. At present, Henan spinning enterprises have gradually returned to normal.

Reporters understand that the outbreak of the epidemic has made great changes in Henan's cotton yarn production and market. Orders for foreign trade export enterprises have been greatly reduced, production and operation pressure is heavy, while the production of traditional domestic enterprises is basically normal, and the impact of the epidemic is relatively limited.

A spinning enterprise in Kaifeng mainly produces medium and low end cotton yarn such as 21s, 32S, 40s and so on. The products are mainly sold domestically. The person in charge of the enterprise said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the production and marketing of the enterprises have been very stable, and there has not been stagnation. Although the textile industry is about to enter the traditional off-season, but the head of the enterprise said that the domestic demand market was stable and did not worry about the downstream order problem. After all, there was a large market of 1 billion 400 million people in China.

Traditional domestic demand enterprises are normal in production and marketing, and foreign trade enterprises are facing great pressure. It is understood that the sales of local combed yarn in local spinning enterprises have returned to normal. Orders for medium and low-end spinning enterprises have rebounded sharply, while combed yarn has been severely affected by foreign epidemic situation, orders have been lost and sales have been blocked, causing some combed yarn production enterprises to stop and lose.

A spinning company said that its operation is in good condition. The main production of 32S and 21s cotton yarn is sufficient and there is no backlog. Since May, the domestic demand market has been basically stable, and the volume of domestic sales orders has not changed much compared with 3 and April. The main reason is that some foreign trade export orders have been greatly reduced, and the epidemic has little impact on domestic textile enterprises, and the main problem of downstream industries is foreign trade exports.

Demotion of consumption

Shrinking of combed yarn Market

At present, the low-end cotton yarn Market of domestic textile enterprises in Henan is stable. Most of the middle and low end cotton yarn enterprises have returned to normal. Some of the high-end products and heavily indebted enterprises are still under pressure. From the product category, the sales situation of Henan spinning enterprises' combed yarn is obviously better than that of combed yarn.

A combed yarn manufacturer in Shangqiu said that the current stock of combed yarn was significantly higher than that of combed yarn. The main reason was that combed yarn finished products belonged to medium and high end products, mainly exported to foreign trade, and domestic consumption was limited. As a result, many Henan spinning enterprises have switched product lines in time to produce yarn products with great demand.

"Apart from the sharp reduction in orders for combed products, domestic comber products market is also shrinking, and sales are significantly lower than that of combed products. Generally combed products are relatively expensive, while the price of combed products is relatively low. Under the influence of the epidemic, people's income is reduced, affecting consumer spending. Now the State advocates the stall economy and sells some cheap clothes. Therefore, fashionable clothing with high quality and low price is more popular with consumers at this stage. A person in charge of an enterprise in Zhoukou analyzed. In addition, the current enterprises mainly focus on autumn and winter orders, and the finished products are more heavy and cater for seasonal characteristics, while the combed yarn is light and thin, but is subject to seasonal restrictions. It is understood that due to the severe market environment, some enterprises have a heavy stock problem of Combed Yarns, and the inventory of individual enterprises in Henan is up to 700 tons. To avoid a continuous increase in losses, the large combed yarn production enterprises choose to wait and see, and sell combed cotton yarn when the market improves.

On the whole, there are three main reasons for the serious differentiation of enterprises: first, the different ways of enterprise management; the two is the difference of product positioning; the three is the reduction of downstream consumption and the occurrence of consumer demotion.

Difficulties in employment

Intelligent transformation to find a way out

In Henan, there are also great differences in business between different regions. It is reported that the operating rate of most enterprises in Xinye County of Nanyang is around 50%, which is obviously lower than that of other textile parks in Henan. The reason is that Xinye county has a special geographical position, located at the southernmost part of Henan, and is at the junction with Hubei province.

A textile enterprise in Xinye County said that the earliest time for local enterprises to return to work was around the middle of 2. Most of the enterprises resumed their work in early April, and the rest of the province went back to work in March for nearly a month. After the resumption of local enterprises, the epidemic prevention and control policy is also stricter than other provinces in the country, resulting in low return rate and low operating rate, which has a great impact on enterprises. Before the holiday, many enterprises have large reserves of raw materials, and enterprises in Nanyang are no exception. The reserve stock exceeds that of other enterprises in the province. The scale of raw materials for individual enterprises reaches 6 months. But after the festival, under the influence of the epidemic, when other enterprises used up the high price before the festival and began to use low price cotton spinning, the local textile enterprises still used high priced raw materials to spin raw materials, and faced with fierce competition in the market, they could not get the advantage from the price. Therefore, no matter what the starting rate or order quantity of an enterprise is, it is worse than that of other regional enterprises. Facing the uncertainty of future market, some highly indebted enterprises have great pressure to survive.

At present, the price of cotton is 12000 yuan / ton, and the price of cotton yarn is 19000 yuan / ton, which is basically no profit for spinning enterprises. Some enterprises say that although the combed yarn can be sold as long as the price is reduced, it is not easy to cut down sales in order to control losses. If the price is reduced again, the losses will be further increased and enterprises will not be able to afford it.

The total capacity of Xinye textile gathering area is around 2 million spindles, which is larger than other parks in Henan province. It also faces problems such as centralized production capacity, large labor gap and difficult recruitment. According to introducing, Xinye County Industrial Park has a large electronic factory, not only the environment is good, the wage level is high, compared with the textile enterprise high temperature and high humidity working environment is more attractive.

Faced with the difficult development of employment, Henan's spinning enterprises, regardless of their size, are upgrading and upgrading in the direction of equipment automation and intellectualization.

A small company with 5~6 million spindles in Henan also attaches great importance to improving equipment automation. The roving process is all made of coarse and fine combined intelligent roving frame system. The coarse and fine joint track transportation is an automatic mode. The frame of the spinning frame is replaced by the coarse and fine linked track. The spinning machine adopts the "whole row yarn changing" mode to replace the yarn, and the whole project realizes the thickness matching.

The enterprise said that textile enterprises are facing difficulties in employment. How to improve labor productivity is a problem that enterprises must seriously ponder. Only by strengthening management level, increasing technological input and improving product automation level can we create greater benefits.

Control the cost of raw materials

Spot price procurement takes the initiative

At present, the stock of raw materials and finished products of Henan spinning enterprises is generally maintained at a low level. Some enterprises maintain raw materials for about 20 days, some maintain in 1 months or so, which are significantly lower than the inventory scale of the same period of enterprises.

In view of the fact that the industry is going to enter the off-season industry is worried about the reduction of orders, the person in charge said that the quality of the high quality cotton yarns was good, and the downstream customers were stable.

In terms of raw material procurement, enterprises believe that cotton prices are in a state of oscillation, with limited space and high elevation. Because the domestic demand market is stable, the production enterprises which are mainly domestic sales are normal, and the raw material inventory of the enterprises is kept low. With the rhythm of buying and buying along with the purchase, the price of zhengmian futures will drop down and purchase will be made in time according to the order.

A cotton warehousing enterprise said that cotton prices rose and business was relatively cold. Once the cotton prices fell, the telephone would ring, because the enterprises purchasing raw materials at a price point increased significantly. In the context of stable domestic demand, enterprises need to regularly purchase raw materials to maintain production.

A spinning enterprise in Zhoukou said that it is now buying raw materials at a price point. As long as the price of cotton falls, the price will be calculated according to the size of the base. At present, the market is full of uncertainty. Cotton prices suddenly rise and fall. In order to control the risk of raw materials, we can only reduce the scale of raw materials as far as possible. For cotton spinning enterprises, the main cost of cotton yarn is cotton, the rest is wages, electricity and other expenses. Controlling raw materials can occupy the initiative in the market.
