Enter July, the market quickly showed a scene that should be seen in the off-season. With the increase in raw materials, the sharp drop in order volume caught the textile boss by surprise.
“What you said is good, it should be a knitting double-sided machine. This type of machine is usually used to make women’s velvet trousers in autumn and winter, and it is usually made of Domestic sales, domestic sales in the second half of the year are all done by napping, but we are engaged in foreign trade, so we are not good at it.” A knitting manufacturer said to a tatting manufacturer.
Most of Shengze’s local manufacturers are woven fabrics, so A textile boss reported: “The order volume of their knitting manufacturers is very good, and the recent market situation is much better than ours.”

Raw materials are rising, and life for knitting and tatting is difficult!
The surge of polyester yarn during this period has not only affected the woven manufacturers, but also the knitting manufacturers are suffering. Knitting manufacturers in Shengze It is not common in areas and is usually distributed in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. Therefore, the textile bosses in Shengze area do not know much about knitting and think that the market of knitting manufacturers is better than that of woven manufacturers, but this is not the case. The recent rise in raw materials has made knitting manufacturers “miserable”.
Usually knitted fabrics are elastic. DTY is used in the production of a piece of knitted fabric, and DTY has always been the most expensive of the three polyester filaments. This price increase is even more exaggerated, reaching 600-800 yuan/ton. The profits of knitting manufacturers are not high to begin with. , such a rise directly reduced profits to the lowest level, and even some textile bosses bluntly said that they were losing money.
However, compared with the market situation of woven fabrics, there are still orders for knitted fabrics, so the textile boss wants to buy his own texturing machine to produce them to reduce costs. to the lowest and make a small profit from it.
Compress costs and maximize profits!
In order to save costs, woven manufacturers have adopted methods such as changing raw materials, changing machines, and increasing rotation speeds. The same is true for knitting manufacturers. “DTY has increased too much, but Our quotation is still the same as before, so we are preparing to buy texturing machines to process POY to make profits.” said a tatting manufacturer.
As the most expensive DTY among polyester yarns, it is currently The price is 9,200 yuan/ton, and some more expensive manufacturers even charge more than 10,000 yuan/ton, while the current price of POY is much cheaper at only 7,750 yuan/ton. The price difference is nearly 1,500 yuan/ton, but POY can be processed into DTY, so knitting manufacturers turned their attention to purchasing texturing machines.
Texture machines are generally divided into domestic and imported ones, with prices ranging from hundreds of thousands to one million. Although the price of texturing machines is relatively expensive, The profit difference between the gray fabric produced directly with DTY and that produced after processing with a texturing machine can be 500-800 yuan (knitted fabric does not say how much one meter costs, it is usually calculated by weight.)
Therefore, both woven and knitted manufacturers are currently facing a rather embarrassing situation. Excessive cost is the key problem. Knitted manufacturers have good orders now only because The rise of autumn and winter fabrics is just like the rise of autumn and winter down jacket fabrics such as nylon silk and four-way elastic in woven manufacturers.
The current market overall seems to be relatively deserted. The above-mentioned textile boss said that the women’s fleece leggings produced by the double-sided knitting machine are only hot-selling domestically, and the foreign trade market has not been fully opened. The main reason for the poor market this year is the lack of foreign trade. It is hoped that the epidemic can be controlled in the second half of the year. The foreign trade market can be fully opened, otherwise the autumn and winter fabrics currently stocked by traders may face a terrible situation, resulting in very few orders for autumn and winter fabrics in the second half of the year.
