This year’s traditional peak season of “gold, three and silver” is coming to an end. How is the textile market during this period? Is it as good as it should be in peak seasons in previous years? Maybe every textile person feels differently, but considering the current global epidemic situation and the economic status of various countries, textile foreign trade may still be slightly worse than in previous years.
Since April, the weaving start-up rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has fully demonstrated the state of the weaving market. Almost all textile industry clusters reached the highest value since the Spring Festival in early April, but this highest value basically did not reach the start-up rate after New Year’s Day this year. Even such high opening rates are short-lived. So far, all opening rates have been falling for more than two weeks.
According to the person in charge of a weaving company, their orders have improved since the end of the year. However, the subsequent sharp increase in raw material prices scared away customers and orders, and the market has become even more sluggish recently. The May Day holiday is coming soon, and several weaving factories near them are going to discuss whether to have a holiday and how many days they will have. If the market continues to weaken in the future, he will prepare to take a holiday even if other factories do not.
Not only do weaving companies feel the coldness of the off-season in advance, but most traders in the market also feel that the order volume this year is not as good as in previous years. But the situation in the dyeing factory is completely different, and it can even be said to be very popular.
The operating rate continues to be high, and orders are crowded and queued
As far as the current printing and dyeing operating rate is concerned, although the overall value is basically maintained At 85%-90%, there is still a difference between the operating rate of more than 90% in the same period of previous years, but the current printing and dyeing operating rate is generally relatively strong and showing an upward trend. In addition, if you put aside the watermark and dyeing factories, the overall operating rate of the dyeing factories is higher. According to market visits, among a dozen sample printing and dyeing factories, 3 have full operating rates, 7 have operating rates exceeding 95%, and the average operating rate has reached 91%.
According to a trader, they have recently had some orders from the dyeing factory, but what they are doing Several dyeing factories all have to queue up, and the processing time is basically more than 7 days. Especially their small order production is under a lot of pressure, and it even takes half a month to enter the workshop for production.
While there are no orders for weaving, printing and dyeing are very busy at the same time. So where do the orders for printing and dyeing factories come from? Why can the market of printing and dyeing factories be separated from the busy weaving market?
Dyeing factories have stable warehouse entry and there are many market orders
According to a person in charge of a dyeing factory, in April Since then, the number of warehouses entering the factory has been very stable, basically at 600,000-800,000 per day, and the daily consumption of gray fabrics in their dyeing factory is around 700,000 per meter. That is to say, the daily warehouse quantity just meets the daily production requirements. Although the current order volume is quite different from the million-meter-per-day volume during peak seasons in previous years, it is a good thing that the factory can operate at full capacity every day as the global epidemic continues to recur and foreign trade orders are insufficient.
But why do printing and dyeing factories have more orders, but upstream traders feel that they have fewer orders? According to the person in charge of the above-mentioned dyeing factory, the current dyeing factories are basically doing market orders, and the varieties are mostly high-elastic pongee, T400, imitation memory, etc. A salesperson from another dyeing factory also had the same feeling. According to reports, their factory currently has a lot of orders, which are stuck for 7 days at the beginning, and most of the orders in this department are market orders.
The number of orders for market goods is huge, but they are basically concentrated in the hands of a few traders. Therefore, the orders for the printing and dyeing market Although it is hot, most traders in the market will not feel that they have too many orders for production. Another reason is why weaving companies have no orders. On the one hand, the current printing and dyeing market is indeed good, but there is still a gap from the peak seasons in previous years. The overall fabric demand is weakening; on the other hand, the crazy sales of goods are overdrafted for more than half a month after the new year. A lot of future fabric orders have been placed. Therefore, the overall performance of the weaving market is not as good as that of the printing and dyeing market. </p
