　　 Recently, the China Cotton Textile Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as the China Cotton Industry Association) released a monthly analysis report on China's cotton textile industry, which analyzed the current situation of China's cotton textile enterprises, cluster production and operation and enterprise revenue in May in terms of production operation and economic indicators.

　　 Purchasing and sales are still weak and equipment utilization is declining

　　 Production and operation

　　 According to the tracking data of the China Cotton Association, in May 2022, the market demand is weak, the domestic cotton futures prices rise and fall, the cotton yarn and cotton cloth prices continue to fall, and the equipment utilization rate decreases.

　　 Enterprise

　　 Compared with April, raw material purchase of cotton textile enterprises increased in May, and raw material consumption and inventory decreased; Yarn production decreased, sales and inventory increased; Cloth production and sales increased, inventory decreased.

　　 1、 Purchase and inventory of raw materials

　　 （1） Purchase of raw materials

　　 In May, the raw material procurement of tracking enterprises increased by 3.00% on a month on month basis, and the raw cotton procurement volume decreased by 0.74% month on month, of which the import cotton procurement decreased by 10.57%; Non cotton fiber procurement increased by 8.63% month on month. In May, ice cotton futures and Zhengzhou cotton fell together, domestic cotton spot price weakened, non cotton fiber continued to rise driven by rising commodity prices, cotton blended and chemical fiber yarn sales were better than pure cotton yarn, cotton textile enterprises reduced cotton procurement, increased the purchase of non cotton fiber.

　　 From the perspective of double cotton purchase price, domestic and foreign cotton prices dropped significantly. On May 31, the main contract of Zheng cotton futures was 20655 yuan / ton, down 1115 yuan / ton month on month; Domestic standard cotton spot price was 20960 yuan / ton, down 1220 yuan / ton month on month; The cotook a index was 157.45 cents / pound, down 8.6 cents / pound on a month on month basis, accounting for 1% tariff price of 25653 yuan / ton and 1217 yuan / ton on a month on month basis.

On May 31, the prices were 15020 yuan / ton and 8500 yuan / ton, respectively, up 720 yuan / ton and 650 yuan / ton on a month on month basis.

　　 （2） Raw material consumption and inventory

　　 The tracking data shows that the consumption of raw cotton decreased by 2.28% month on month, of which raw cotton consumption decreased by 4.10% and non cotton fiber consumption increased by 0.44% month on month. As of the end of May, the raw material inventory decreased by 0.88% month on month, and the cumulative decrease from January to May was 21.93% year-on-year. Among them, raw cotton inventory decreased by 2.01% month on month, and the cumulative year-on-year decrease from January to May was 24.26%; Non cotton fiber inventory increased by 2.32% month on month, and decreased by 14.82% from January to May. Cotton textile enterprises gradually adjust the product structure and increase the use of non cotton fiber.

　　 2、 Product production

　　 The tracking data showed that the output of yarn decreased by 0.67% on a month on month basis, of which pure cotton yarn decreased by 2.76%, cotton blended yarn and purified fiber yarn increased by 1.06% and 1.98% respectively, with a cumulative year-on-year decrease of 1.99% from January to May; Cloth output increased by 1.64% month on month, including cotton cloth, cotton blended fabric and purified fiber cloth increased by 1.62%, 1.32% and 5.00% respectively, with a cumulative year-on-year growth of 1.90% from January to May.

　　 By the end of May, the utilization rate of spinning equipment of tracking enterprises was 91.78%, with a decrease of 1.57 percentage points on a month on month basis, and a decrease of 3.62 percentage points on a year-on-year basis; The utilization rate of weaving equipment was 91.45%, down 0.40% month on month and 1.31% on year. Among them, 79% of the enterprises whose utilization rate of spinning equipment is higher than 85%, which is basically flat on a month on month basis; Weaving equipment utilization rate is higher than 85% of the enterprises accounted for 74%, increased by 2 percentage points month on month. Although the downstream consumption in May was better than that in April, the overall situation was still poor. In order to control product inventory, enterprises reduced the utilization rate of equipment.

　　 3、 Product sales and inventory

　　 The tracking data shows that in May, the sales of yarn and cloth increased by 5.20% and 11.98% respectively, yarn inventory increased by 1.24% month on month, and cloth inventory decreased by 2.09% month on month.

　　 In the first ten days of May, the market purchase and sales improved, the foreign trade orders of enterprises increased slightly, the delivery speed of grey cloth accelerated, and the inventory decreased. There is still a weak trend in the stock market. Overall, the sales of pure cotton products are not good, and the sales of blended and chemical fiber products are good.

　　 Cluster 　　

　　 According to the follow-up survey of the cluster situation, the cluster production and operation in May was basically consistent with the industry, and the utilization rate of equipment decreased.

　　 1、 Equipment utilization

　　 Tracking data shows that in May, the number of start-up enterprises in the cluster decreased by 4.7% year-on-year, the number of employees decreased by 19.0% year-on-year, among which the number of employees of Enterprises above the designated size decreased by 19.7%.

　　 The average equipment utilization rate of cluster enterprises is about 68%, which is 12% lower than that of the same period of last year, among which, 73% of Enterprises above the designated size.

　　 2、 Production capacity and output of yarn and cloth

　　 Tracking cluster spinning capacity increased by 1.5% and weaving capacity by 3.9% year on year.

　　 3、 Post production plan

　　 With the advent of the traditional off-season in the industry, it is expected that the market demand will be difficult to improve in the short term, the orders will be insufficient, and the product inventory pressure will continue to increase. In addition, in the situation of cotton price fluctuations and poor sales of pure cotton products, enterprises will continue to increase the use of non cotton fiber and produce differentiated products.

　　 The proportion of exports increased and profits continued to decline

　　 Economic indicators

　　 According to the data of key enterprises tracked by China Cotton Association, in May 2022, the market purchase and sales were still light.

　　 On the whole, thanks to the implementation of a package of national policies to stabilize the economy and foreign trade in April, China's foreign trade situation improved significantly in May, but the global economic growth further slowed down, the domestic demand market consumption expectation was insufficient, and the recovery was slow, and the pressure of boosting was great. It is urgent for cotton textile enterprises to guarantee production and de stock. 　　

　　 The data in this report are all from China Cotton Textile Industry Association, involving more than 260 cotton textile enterprises and about 15 industrial clusters in China. The total spinning capacity accounts for about 75% of the national cotton textile industry, which is representative of the industry.
