Introduction: After years of baptism, the filament weaving market showed a warming trend in 2016, and the market began to enter a business cycle. In the past two years, many weaving factories and traders in the Shengze area have experienced a “boom”. The high inventory of fabrics accumulated for many years has been cleared, old products have been given new life, and production orders have been oversubscribed for several months… …Under the effect of the new business cycle of the industry, what changes have taken place in the filament weaving market in 2017?
1. Silk-like fabrics are coming back with vitality and making a comeback
In the past few years, the supply of imitation silk fabrics exceeded demand, and the market was once close to saturation, and the vitality of imitation silk products was also greatly reduced. However, in the past two years, imitation silk fabrics have lost their previous decline, emerged from their cocoon and become a butterfly again, becoming the darling of the market again. The editor also remembers that in March, the hot sales of Huayao Crepe caused fake twisted silk to be out of stock, and it was hard to find a single product. In April, the popularity of imitation silk products is still unabated. During this period, imitation silk products, whether they are chiffon, smooth crepe, flower crepe, tangled hemp, etc., especially the 75D series, are in hot sales. When the editor visited the Keqiao Market in Shaoxing, I found that Keqiao’s simulated silk is no less popular than the Shengze Market. Chiffon and hemp are both in short supply. Some companies with weaving factories said that customers have recently been struggling to get goods. There is basically no inventory in the factory, so we sell as much as we can. Some trading companies said that they can’t get the goods now, and they don’t dare to take orders. They don’t have anything to sell, such as chiffon and crepe.
2. Competition in women’s clothing fabrics is becoming increasingly fierce, and the men’s clothing market has become an opportunity for transformation
The most typical product of spring and summer women’s clothing fabrics is imitation silk. As the editor mentioned above, in the past few years, the market for imitation silk products was highly saturated and sales were not smooth. In the situation where there are too many monks and too little food, the fabric market is undergoing a silent fight. . In order to get orders, many companies sacrifice their profits to survive. In the harsh market environment, some companies consider transformation to find a way to survive. Botao Textile is such a company that has transformed from the production of women’s clothing fabrics to men’s clothing fabrics. The person in charge of the company told the editor that the men’s clothing fabrics they currently produce are not conventional products. Over the past few years, they have also discovered that only companies that make Only your own characteristics will attract the attention of the market. Nowadays, their products tend to be more differentiated and personalized. Although men’s clothing is not as fancy as women’s clothing, there are not as many companies focusing on men’s clothing fabrics as there are women’s clothing fabrics in the market. There is still a bright future for being sophisticated and specialized in this market.
3. The market share of yarn-dyed fabrics continues to increase, while traditional printing suffers a cold reception
The domestic printing market has also undergone tremendous changes in the past two years. According to a friend of the editor who runs a printing factory, the traditional printing business on clothing has become increasingly difficult to do in the past two years, and the orders have become smaller and smaller. A few years ago, his customers placed orders for millions of meters every year. Since the year before last, orders have shrunk significantly to only a few hundred thousand meters. Last year, one of his customers placed orders for only 100,000 meters a year. Where did the orders go? A friend reluctantly told the editor that his customer did not transfer the order to others, but transferred it to yarn-dyed fabrics. You may say that the editor’s friends are just examples in the industry and do not represent the mainstream of the entire market. But have you noticed that in the past two years, yarn-dyed fabrics have accounted for an increasing share of the market, and yarn-dyed fabrics can be seen everywhere in the clothing, luggage, home textiles and other markets. Due to environmental protection requirements, raw material costs and other factors, yarn-dyed fabrics are increasingly favored by the market.
4. Functional fabrics are no longer exclusive to outdoor clothing, and products are becoming more segmented
In the past few years, when people talked about functional fabrics, their first impression was of soft and hard-shell fabrics such as mountaineering jackets and jackets. However, in the past two years, the products in the functional fabric market have been further segmented, and outdoor fabrics have developed from adult to family. In the past, outdoor fabrics were mainly focused on adult clothing fabrics. Now, children’s and personal outdoor clothing have become a new popular trend in the market. In addition to outdoor fabrics, the sales of workwear fabrics and protective fabrics are also becoming wider and wider, and the product categories have also developed from the original single variety to a comprehensive collection of fabrics containing multiple functions.
It has only been a quarter and one month of 2017, and the market is full of expectations for the later market trends, but also mixed with some…� Worry. Many friends who work in the textile industry told the editor that the current market situation comes and goes at any time, with few expectations and more surprises. All they can do is to make their own products well and seize the market when it comes. , you won’t leave too many regrets when the market moves. No matter what the market situation will be like this year, the editor still wants to witness more surprises and joy with the majority of textile friends.
