September is the traditional peak season, so today’s weaving market has attracted much attention. Some market trends may have an impact on cloth bosses’ orders. Let’s take a look at how the weaving market has changed in the first week of September.
PART.1
The weaving market is tepid, and the overall atmosphere is average
After investigation, the textile market is still quiet, not in peak season. There is no shadow at all. The delivery of gray fabrics is still slow and there is a lack of hot products. Most weaving companies have restored 100% operating rate, but some companies can only operate at 50% due to production restrictions. Therefore, overall, the operating rate of looms in Shengze is only 70%.
Compared with August, the market conditions did not change much and were still slightly tepid. The orders received by weaving and trading companies are all average, and new orders are weak, mainly from old customers.
Mr. Tian, who specializes in pongee, said: “The current order situation is average and there has been no change. The main inventory now is mainly pongee, with a volume of about 2 million meters, which is similar to the previous period. The peak season is obviously not here yet.”
Mr. Shi, a trader who mainly specializes in nylon products, also said: “There is not much change between this week and last week. It is still not getting better. It has always been relatively stable. Old customers place orders regularly.”
PART.2
Market orders and foreign trade orders are gradually being issued
Although the overall trend It is true that the goods have not changed much, but there are still slight changes in parts. It is understood that market orders, which play a decisive role in the market, have also become loose recently and are slowly being issued to the market.
The current market orders are mainly T400, T800, four-way stretch, pongee and nylon. In fact, since this year, the best-selling fabrics on the market seem to have always been these products, with almost no changes. What these fabrics have in common is that they are commonly used fabrics for autumn and winter clothing, which means that autumn and winter fabrics are being released one after another, and market orders often play a leading role, driving the popularity of the peak season. Therefore, this can be regarded as a signal flare in the peak season, and it may still be popular in the later period.
In addition, another subtle change is the partial foreign trade order It has also improved and orders have increased. Except for some areas with severe epidemics, many overseas places are still able to place and receive orders normally. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, poor demand has led to a sharp decrease in the number of orders placed in my country, ultimately resulting in a flat market for gray fabrics. But now, we have reached the annual production node, and orders for rigid demand will always come when they are due. Although the number of these orders is small, it still has a certain impact on the market, which also indicates that the peak season is slowly coming.
Manufacturer’s speech
Mr. Chen said: “Currently, the total orders are operating normally. We mainly focus on foreign trade orders, and overseas demand is still unstable. , placing orders from time to time. However, there is basically no inventory backlog of gray fabrics. Compared with before, it has improved, but not by much.”
Nylon trader Mr. Shi also said: ” At present, I heard that the market orders are moving. There are quite a lot of orders in the Nisi spinning market, and the price has been speculated very quickly by some market participants who stocked up in the early stage, with an increase of 1 yuan/meter.”
Weaving manufacturer Mr. Chen also revealed that T400 and T800 are currently on an upward trend, mainly due to market orders, which maintain the original sales level. It is expected that a large wave of market orders will arrive later, which can still make the market hot for a while.
PART.3
Manufacturers purchase polyester filament on demand
In fact, what is worse than the weaving market is polyester Product polyester filament. Polyester filament can be said to be sandwiched between upstream and downstream textiles. As a sandwich, life is more difficult. This Monday, major chemical fiber factories held a big promotion, with prices dropping by as much as 600-800 yuan/meter. Stimulated by low prices, individual manufacturers’ production and sales have reached 500%! It can be said to be the most popular promotion in recent times, but only because the promotion is large enough. After the promotion, the production and sales of polyester filament can be said to be miserable, and the price has never gone up.
For polyester filament, weaving manufacturers are actually not optimistic about it , especially with the resumption of weekly promotions, weaving manufacturers have more opportunities to buy at low prices, and stockpiling has long ceased to exist.
Mr. Chen said: “Now we are purchasing polyester filament normally. The price of polyester filament soared before, but now it has come down, but the current price has not reached the stocking standard. It is expected that there will be a small decline in September, mainly affected by the international epidemic. , the demand for polyester yarn is not optimistic.”
Mr. Tian also believes that the demand for polyester yarn will still not be good. When downstream orders are not sufficient, most weaving factories purchase on demand. Therefore, production and sales will not be good unless there is promotion.
PART.4
Textile people lack confidence and predict a weak market outlook
Same , the market situation in September is not optimistic by many textile people. At this time in previous years, the market has clearly shown signs of entering the peak season, but this year it remains calm. The recovery of demand cannot be completed in a moment, and the increase in orders also requires a process.This September may be a buffer period.
Mr. Chen’s judgment: “The market has not improved in September. Vietnam is currently under lockdown in Ho Chi Minh City, garment factories cannot continue, and some orders cannot be exported. The international epidemic situation is not optimistic in the short term, which means Due to limited demand. The current production capacity can fully meet the demand, so it is difficult to become popular.”
“Due to the epidemic, the market is not optimistic in the short term. Our company’s orders to Vietnam have been stopped, and the impact of reduced orders exists Under such circumstances, sea freight is extremely high, container prices are also rising, customers are bargaining, and profits are constantly being squeezed. It is getting harder and harder to receive orders, and the market will not be very good.” Analyzed Manager Lai, who sells recycled fiber.
Although most textile people are not optimistic about September, market orders and foreign trade are recovering. Even if September does not meet the standards of the peak season, there is still a great opportunity in October. What the current market lacks most is confidence. When confidence is restored, market vitality will come, which can catalyze the arrival of the peak season.
