In February, thanks to the joint efforts of macro policies and the efforts of market players, the recovery momentum of the national economy has improved, showing bursts of warmth, laying a solid foundation for a good start in the first quarter of this year. From the industry point of view, affected by the Spring Festival holiday, the complex and severe international environment and the spread of domestic epidemic situation, the enterprise startup continued to decline, production and sales were affected to a certain extent, and the industry prosperity index fell periodically. With the increasingly complex international economic environment, the downstream market is not as expected, and enterprise confidence has declined.

In February, China's cotton textile boom index was 46.39, down 1.14 from January, and continued to be below the dry and prosperous line. From the classification index, among the seven sub indexes which constitute the prosperity index of China's cotton textile, they are all below the dry and prosperous line, among which the raw material purchasing index and enterprise confidence index have a higher decline.

In February, the raw material purchasing index was 48.36, down 3.83 from January, which was below the Kuo Rong line. From the market price point of view, driven by the rise of crude oil, agricultural products and other prices, cotton prices at home and abroad rose significantly after the Spring Festival. Due to the shortage of downstream orders, cotton prices lost support, and then fell back. In terms of non cotton fiber, prices rose sharply compared with January.

From the purchasing situation, due to the replenishment of stocks before the Spring Festival and the shortage of downstream orders after the festival, the purchasing enthusiasm of raw materials is not high, and the purchasing volume index of cotton and non cotton fiber has decreased significantly, which drives the decline of raw material purchasing index. ?

In February, the production index was 43.94, down 1.39 from January. According to the survey of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, after the Spring Festival holiday, cotton textile enterprises began to work one after another. Affected by the epidemic situation in some areas, the rate of employees returning to work is not high. Overall, the opening rate of enterprises after the festival is more than 80%.

From the perspective of market sales, affected by uncertain factors such as raw material prices, downstream home textile and clothing customers have a strong wait-and-see mood and slow down sales. The sales index of yarn and cloth are all below the Kuo Rong line, and the decline of yarn sales index is higher than that of cloth sales index

In February, the product inventory index was 48.22, up 1.54 from January. After the construction of the seventh day of the first day of the year, the inquiry of downstream customers was relatively active, but the actual signing rate was not high, and the market was relatively cold compared with the same period in previous years. Due to the spread of the epidemic in some areas, the enterprise's freight transportation has been affected to varying degrees, and the product inventory has increased slightly. From the perspective of product category, although the stock index of yarn and cloth warehouse increased compared with January, they were all located below the critical point and in the contraction range.

At the same time, the geopolitical pattern is becoming more complex and the external instability and uncertainty are increasing. The impact of the epidemic situation in some areas of China is still continuing. The downstream consumption demand is lower than expected, and the traditional peak season expected by enterprises is greatly discounted, and the confidence in the future market is lower than that in the earlier period. According to the survey data, 11.19% of the enterprises think that the future market is optimistic and good, and 52.99% think that the future market is weak.

Note: the prosperity index of China's cotton textile industry is collected from nearly 500 secondary cotton textile enterprises in China. Referring to the establishment methods of national manufacturing PMI and other indexes, it is concluded that when the index is higher than 50, it means that the prosperity degree of cotton textile industry in this month is better than that of last month; if it is lower than 50, it means that the prosperity degree of this month is lower than that of last month. ?
