The market has entered the off-season, and orders have begun to decrease. The demand for elastic fabrics is not as good as in the previous period, but compared to other fabrics, orders can still be placed.
It is a pity that the rising cost of spandex has caused unspeakable hardships for these textile bosses even if they have orders…
100+40 plain weave four-sided elastic is selling well
“Recently, 100+40 plain weave four-sided elastic is selling very well, and some manufacturers Hundreds of looms have been set up for production, and 30,000 meters of goods can be produced in a day.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
Plain four-way elastic is a piece of fabric in four-way elastic that does not require twisting and has a relatively simple organization. It has a wide range of uses. , there are many manufacturers that can produce this fabric.
Judging from the popularity of stretch fabrics in the market this year, it is not unexpected that this plain four-way elastic is selling well, but according to the current price of spandex, some textile bosses are already in the market. This fabric was produced at a loss.
The market price is 2.3 yuan/meter, the cost price is 2.6 yuan/meter
“100+40 plain weave four-sided elastic is a variety we do not make, it is too Even if it’s a loss, we won’t do it even if it’s easy to sell.” A textile boss who specializes in four-sided elastic said.
The current market price of 100+40 plain weave four-sided elastic is 2.3 yuan/meter. Generally, this type of gray fabric is hung with codes. The shortage is about 95%, so the selling price is generally around 2.5 yuan. However, according to the price of spandex, the price of raw materials alone is now 2.1 yuan/meter. Assuming that the labor cost is added, the artificial water and electricity in Shengze area will cost about 0.5-0.6 yuan/meter. meter, the total cost adds up to 2.6-2.7 yuan/meter. In other places, such as Anhui, the cost of artificial water and electricity is relatively cheap, about 0.3-0.4 yuan/meter, and the total cost is 0.4-0.5 yuan/meter.
So, some local weaving factories produce this fabric at a loss of at least 0.1 yuan/meter per meter, but there are still many textile companies that produce this fabric at a loss. However, assuming that the factories are in northern Jiangsu, In Anhui and other places, there is still a small profit to be made.
You still have to produce even though you are losing money. Is it so arrogant?
As mentioned above, some textile bosses said that they stopped producing because they knew they were losing money. However, not all textile bosses are so “willful”.
“Many manufacturers can only start producing this piece of fabric because this piece of fabric has been selling well recently. Now in this off-season period, they don’t know what to produce except this piece of fabric, and This kind of fabric has a simple structure and can basically be produced. Therefore, some manufacturers are brave enough to produce it.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
Indeed, there seems to be no particularly hot-selling fabrics since this year’s New Year. Whether it is imitation silk that should be a hot seller during the spring and summer seasons or some Internet celebrity fabrics in previous years, they are not very popular and are just a short-lived flash in the pan. ” style appears in the market. The only long-lasting hot seller is stretch fabrics. Not all stretch fabrics are stretch fabrics. Four-way stretch is the most prominent. From the initial 100D and 75D four-way stretch to the current 100+40 plain four-way stretch, although some four-way stretch is also It went through price hikes to rapid price drops, but in the end it was still in a relatively stable situation.
If we want to talk about what is worth producing in the market now, we can only say that it is four-way elastic products. Some textile bosses have no choice at all. Is it possible to close the factory?
Spandex prices will continue to rise, and elastic fabrics may become mainstream
According to the current overall market, although some manufacturers are still producing at a loss, their main The reason is that the fabric has a simple structure and there are many manufacturers. If it is a fabric with a relatively complex structure, I believe it may not be produced at a loss, which may lead to queues for goods and high prices.
However, the difficulty in rising gray fabric prices is also related to the off-season. Although elastic fabrics are still selling well, the demand is definitely It is not as good as the previous period. In addition, the price of spandex raw materials has been on the rise. The price increase of some four-sided elastic cannot keep up with the increase of raw material prices. Although it is losing money now, the price will definitely increase in the later period.
Nowadays, many textile bosses in the market are stocking up on autumn and winter down jacket fabrics such as nylon that will sell well in the second half of the year. However, they do not know that four-way elastic can also cause hot sales in the second half of the year. In the first half of the year, the popularity of four-way elastic has already increased.As you can imagine, there will definitely be a wave of craze in the second half of the year, and the spandex raw material still maintains a strong position even when the prices of other raw materials are reduced. It is conceivable that spandex will also rise in the second half of the year.
There are more and more elastic fabric manufacturers on the market year by year. Even the earliest imitation silk manufacturers have begun to devote themselves to the production of four-way elastic. When people talk about hot sales in the market, they think of elastic fabrics. It is conceivable that in the future textile market, all fabrics may be edged with elastic.
Although some manufacturers are producing at a loss, losses are losses. At least the market has not reached a situation where there are no hot sales and no orders. Generally speaking, there are still green hills left. , don’t be afraid of running out of firewood!
