Trend | Low End Fabrics Have Overcapacity, And High-End Fabrics Have Gradually Become A Breakthrough

Recently, a cloth boss told Xiaobian that the market price of grey fabric produced by domestic raw materials is 10 yuan / m, while that of imported raw materials is 18 yuan / m. The difference between the two prices is nearly 50%! But his customers insist on using imported raw materials to produce grey cloth, do not care about half the price!

Compared with the grey cloth produced by domestic raw materials, the grey cloth produced by imported raw materials has better properties in some aspects, but its price is expensive and its cost performance is not high. Therefore, the general domestic enterprises are not willing to double the price in order to improve the quality. However, foreign customers sometimes specify the grey cloth with imported raw materials, and are willing to spend half the price to improve the quality. Today's textile market does exist such a situation, the trend to spend high prices to buy imported high-end products is increasing.

For the current grey fabric market, the price of grey cloth with a price of more than ten yuan is very high. Generally, the price range of most grey cloth is 2-5 yuan / m. From the price point of view, more than ten yuan grey fabric can be considered as high-end category. For the whole market, the volume of this type of grey cloth is far less than that of polyester taff and Chunya spinning, etc., but now the demand for high-end grey fabric is gradually increasing.

For example, the 20 million meters of imitation acetic acid orders appeared on the market a while ago, although the price of imitation acetic acid grey cloth also fell greatly this year due to the decline of raw materials. But it also belongs to the category of high-end products, which can receive 20 million meters at once, which is rarely encountered before.

At present, many orders in the market reflect the increasing popularity of high-end fabrics. What drives such a change in the market?

Low end fabric has excess capacity, high-end fabric has become a breakthrough

In fact, as early as a few years ago, the textile market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has begun to change from low-end to high-end. In particular, the renovation of water jet looms in 2017 led to a sharp increase in the number of water jet looms in other parts of the country, and overcapacity began to be serious in 2018. From January to June of 2020, the output data of chemical fiber filament fabric in China's main filament weaving industry cluster can be seen that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are still the main production places of chemical fiber filament fabrics, and the competition pressure is also the biggest. So it is more and more obvious that Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets take the high-end line. In fact, it is the trend of the times. If weaving enterprises want to avoid being dragged down by inventory in the era of low-end grey fabric overcapacity, it is a very feasible way to turn to high-end products.

There are also some examples in the market to prove the perfect transformation of some weaving enterprises by taking the high-end route. Mr. Wang, who has 150 looms, has experienced a successful transformation. The factory originally produced super fine denier grey cloth. With the expansion of water jet loom, the competition is becoming more and more intense. Mr. Wang wanted to transform to produce higher-end fabrics and shift the focus to the very popular recycled fabrics in recent years. However, he did not produce the conventional recycled fabrics which have been widely used in the market, but constantly developed higher-end recycled fabrics, such as recycled fabrics with various texture patterns and dyed fabrics. Almost all of his grey cloth needs to be customized and constantly updated. It is precisely because of this kind of high-end fabrics that Mr. Wang did not receive the impact of the epidemic this year, but increased orders, and the orders on hand have been scheduled to July next year.

High end new fabrics have more market potential

On the other hand, with the development of the trend, people's definition and pursuit of fashion are higher, so the requirements of clothing are more fashionable, unique and practical. Designers began to seek unconventional or more high-end fabrics to meet the needs of the market. Therefore, fabric traders are constantly attracting buyers and designers through some new products, so as to get more orders.

Both weaving enterprises and trading enterprises have a sense of transformation to high-end fabrics. It is not easy to complete the transformation of this process, and it is not a matter of a day. But in the future, the leading market of high-end fabrics is bound to be the main trend of domestic textile industry. ?
