In the past week, the market has faced rising prices for polyester, nylon, and spandex… As an essential textile raw material, there are weekly sales The price of polyester filament has begun to rise. Textile bosses never expected that last Tuesday’s polyester promotion would be the last one in the near future. Textile bosses who adhere to the principle of buying as they go will definitely regret not participating in the last one. Stock up on promotions.
But, why do you regret it?
It’s not because although it is the off-season, the orders are still there. On the one hand, the textile boss looked at the high prices of raw materials, and on the other hand, faced with the repeated lowering of fabric prices by customers, he felt really sad and couldn’t express his feelings.
“The customer placed an order for millions of meters of 240T pongee fabric , the cost of sizing is 1.5 yuan/meter, and customers have lowered the price to less than 2 yuan/meter, so we can’t make any money at all.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
Indeed, it was often mentioned some time ago that the order volume in June was actually more than that in May. However, customers kept prices too low and many weavers did not make profits. Some fabrics may even lose money, but you can’t ignore the order, and there are ways.
Change the soup without changing the dressing to minimize the loss!
Faced with such a problem, the solution that textile bosses come up with is to change raw materials. Generally, the price of raw materials from large factories is less than that of the same raw materials from smaller raw material factories. There are still price differences. For example, the price difference between manufacturers of different sizes of 75D/72F DTY used in 240T pongee mentioned above is about 300-500 yuan/ton. Therefore, weavers thought of changing raw material manufacturers to minimize their losses.
But using this method will definitely make a difference to the gray fabrics produced. The thickness of the raw materials produced by smaller raw material factories will be smaller. This also results in the weight of the produced gray cloth being lighter than that produced by large factories, but there is still a small profit to be made. This is the only option for customers to “force” the weavers to a dead end.
Of course, except for the weight, other quality and feel are still related to the raw materials Similarly, this method can only be used if the customer has no requirements for the weight of the gray cloth, but generally customers will default to this method if there are no quality problems.
So compared to traders, it is even more difficult for weaving manufacturers to do business this year…
As costs rise again and again, weaving manufacturers suffer the most!
, it is also difficult for traders to receive orders. Some customers may go directly to weavers for low prices. Therefore, when traders complained about the lack of orders last year, some weaving manufacturers still had some orders on hand.
“No one had any orders during the epidemic last year, and we didn’t panic. And Last year, the raw materials were at a low level, and even the production inventory was low-priced. So we made money during the good market at the beginning of this year. However, during this period, the raw materials were at a high level, and even the production inventory was high-priced. We could sell it. Fortunately, it will be over if it cannot be sold,” said a weaver in Shengze area.
This year is the post-epidemic era. The domestic market has basically returned to normal, and foreign markets have gradually become active. Although orders are not as good as in previous years, they are at least much better than last year. A lot Traders have also received orders, and the originally small orders have to be shared equally between traders and weavers. For traders, receiving orders is a good thing, but for weavers, there are fewer orders and less profits.
As the price of crude oil continues to rise, the price of raw materials will likely continue to rise in the future. Both weavers and traders must be wary of this. Weaving Traders cannot continue to produce unprofitably and at a loss. It is inevitable that the price of gray cloth will rise. If the weavers do not relent, the traders themselves may be the ones who lose money. This kind of thing has not happened before.
