Market review: The market was “ignited” and the weaving manufacturers “smiled”!
According to the survey and monitoring of China Silk City Network, from January to March, the fabric market in Shengze area showed a pattern of first weakness and then strength. Entering January, affected by the Spring Festival, the market trading atmosphere has weakened significantly. Manufacturers have shifted their focus from sales to settlement and payment collection. However, there is still a phenomenon of stockpiling in the downstream before the Spring Festival holiday, and the supply of some low-end products is tight. . After the 15th day of the first lunar month, driven by periodic demand and environmental protection expectations, the market was “ignited” and the trading volume rebounded significantly. In particular, the volume and price of conventional products such as polyester taffeta, pongee, imitation silk, etc. increased, and the market supply A bit tight, smooth delivery.
Price:With the Lantern Festival After the holiday, the trading atmosphere in the Shengze market gradually recovered, and sales increased steadily. Downstream still stocked conventional products. Coupled with the increase in raw material prices, the price of lining fabrics in the market ushered in a general increase.
In terms of inventory and operating rate:In the first quarter, market inventory first increased and then decreased. Entering March, market trading volume continued Zooming in, the inventory of conventional products such as polyester taffeta, pongee and imitation silk is at a historical low, and the inventory decline is more obvious.

Market prediction: It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
This year’s “Gold, Three, Silver and Four” came earlier and were even more “crazy”. Entering April, market enthusiasm continues to rise. Conventional chemical fiber products such as imitation silk, imitation memory, polyester taffeta, pongee, etc. are still selling smoothly in the market, especially twisted and false-twisted chiffon and tangled hemp. Weaving mills Most of them take the goods in cash and wait in line. It is understood that the current market environment is relatively chaotic. Upstream polyester filament prices have begun to rise. Downstream dyeing plants have increased prices, liquidated warehouses, and stopped collecting gray fabrics. The inventory of gray fabric manufacturers is at a low level. The entire textile industry chain is still developing well. Some market participants said that judging from the current order volume in the market, the market situation in the first half of the year is still promising, and at least some manufacturers have already received orders in May and June. However, the industry still faces severe external situations, especially Sino-US economic and trade relations. At present, there are not many large-volume orders in the foreign trade market. Many textile workers in the foreign trade export business adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards orders from the United States and are cautious about accepting orders.
In summary, the weaving market is currently in a seller’s market, and the development trajectory in the first quarter of this year is in line with expectations. Entering the second quarter, according to the tradition of previous years, the market will gradually weaken. However, this year there are also many uncertain factors, especially environmental protection rectification, and market supply may continue to tighten. However, it is worth noting that new equipment and production capacity have been opened in other places. or will be expanded. Therefore, the key to the market outlook depends on production capacity.
