Introduction: “Today, the price of polyester filament has generally increased by 100-200 yuan/ton!!!”
In the recent period, textile bosses are tremblingly opening quotations from major raw material manufacturers every day: +50, +100, +150… They have become numb, and some cloth bosses are even doubting life. I have experienced a fake The textile off-season? !
To tell the truth,
In the past month,
the price of raw materials has increased beyond doubt Life,
PTA broke 6,400 points;
Ethylene glycol rose by more than 10%;
Polyester filament rose by more than 1,000 yuan;
On the first day of August, cloth bosses could no longer sit still, and various rumors spread in the circle of friends. Kind of “price increase notice”!
▲ Taihu Lake Shade Cloth Home Textile Chamber of Commerce issued a notice: Starting from August 1, the price of shade cloth produced by various weaving enterprises will increase 0.5 yuan/meter
Behind the crazy price increase is the helplessness of gray fabric manufacturers!
“Raw materials have risen too much during this period, so we have also raised our quotations. Gray fabrics have increased by 0.10 yuan/meter, and finished products have increased by 0.20 yuan/meter.” Shengze Mr. Cui, who specializes in fabrics for cold-proof clothing, said. In recent times, raw material prices have continued to rise, with some varieties rising by more than a thousand yuan. This has also caused many gray fabric manufacturers to be overwhelmed by costs and issue price increase notices one after another.
According to the survey, the price of gray fabrics in Shengze area has generally increased by 0.10% recently. -0.40 yuan/meter, and some varieties have increased even more. Among them, the imitation silk series is in the off-season, with an increase of 0.10-0.20 yuan/meter; mainstream autumn and winter fabric products such as polyester taffeta and pongee have increased by 0.20-0.40 yuan. / meter, among which 300T pongee, which is a hot seller in the market, was quoted at 2.85-2.90 yuan/meter without tickets not long ago, and now is around 3.10-3.20 yuan/meter without tickets.
“The increase in quotations is determined by comprehensive factors, such as raw materials, labor costs, environmental protection costs, production capacity supply and demand, etc.” The owner of a weaving factory told the author. In addition to the surge in raw materials, the current rise in gray fabric prices is also driven by the imbalance between supply and demand in production capacity and rising labor costs.
Generally, when the cost of raw materials increases by a thousand yuan, the cost of gray cloth will increase by 0.10 yuan/meter, and the increase in gram weight will be even greater. However, as the price of raw materials continues to increase, the cost of gray cloth will increase. Manufacturers are not having an easy time. “This time the cost of raw materials has increased by 0.40 yuan/meter, but the price of our gray fabrics has only increased by 0.20 yuan/meter. The price does not dare to increase too much in the off-season.” Qian, the general manager of home textile fabrics, said.
The gap between supply and demand is still widening under environmental restrictions and production shutdowns!
While weaving manufacturers are complaining about rising costs, as for another reason for this round of rising gray fabric prices, the author has heard that many of them point directly to environmental protection regulations. Supply and demand imbalance.
Relevant industry insiders told the author that the biggest increase in gray cloth prices is for low-end conventional products, which is what we call “bulk goods.” This is mainly due to the limited production capacity of water-jet looms. Behind the scenes, it is due to large-scale shutdowns and relocations that have caused the production capacity to fail to keep up. “The prices of polyester taffeta and pongee that can be used as both linings and fabrics on the market today are most sensitive to rising raw material prices. On the one hand, their prices are already low, and their profit margins are not as good as high value-added gray fabrics, so raw materials have risen. , they are transmitted very quickly. On the other hand, due to environmental protection rectification, some batches have been shut down, some have been eliminated, and some have been converted to production. The market’s original capacity to produce these gray fabrics is shrinking, and the market supply and demand have been in a tight state.”
In addition, entering August, the fabric market goods will gradually increase in autumn and winter, especially Taobao orders. The demand for mid-to-low-end products will further increase, so the gap between supply and demand will continue to expand.
Helpless! The naked reality of 2018…
This year’s The textile business is like this photo
The one hanging there is the merchant,
You have taken off your clothes (profits have returned to zero),
You must use your feet to survive;
The people sitting there are customers,
I can feel the temptation,
But I am still indifferent (still disgusted Expensive)
This is the naked reality in 2018…
Although it is a bit too pessimistic, it is generally difficult for the textile industry to do this this year. Everyone can really feel it! Some people say that in the second half of the year, exports in the textile market will be blocked, domestic demand will be blocked, and companies may be left without a master! The author wants to say that in the complex market environment, the voice of leading polyester companies continues to increase, and the price of raw materials is unlikely to drop. For the majority of downstream companies, in response to the combination of environmental protection storms, safety inspections, and the Sino-US trade war Under the punch attack, you must be more determined and strong!
I hope that one day in the future,
when everyone is sitting together chatting and drinking,
We can all say one thing:
Dry weaving is great!
Instead of saying helplessly:
It would be fine if we didn’t do weaving…
</p
