Textile boss B: “Our factory has not yet Work is back to work, but it should be soon!”
What textile bosses will talk about after work resumes
Textile boss A: “When does your factory have a holiday?”
Textile boss B: “Does your factory have a Qingming Festival holiday? How many days will it be open?”
The unified reply: “It’s a holiday, everyone is on holiday, there is no business, and the factory is losing money every day it is open!”
The textile boss cried with his head in his arms. SARS was not that miserable. I didn’t expect it. Now it is so tragic to “die” at the hands of a new type of coronavirus!
Vacation, vacation! Another holiday
What has been a hot topic in the textile market recently is the holiday. It has only been just over a month since the start of work, so why is there another holiday? What can we do? Raw materials, orders, costs…everything is a problem!
According to Silkdu.com data monitoring, since the start of construction in February, the Shengze Market has started operations The operating rate has never exceeded 80%. Compared with the same period last year, the operating rate dropped by nearly 10%. In addition, as the pessimistic atmosphere in the market becomes stronger, many manufacturers are currently planning to take holidays, and the market operating rate is gradually declining. In early April, the operating rate in Shengze was around 75%, showing a significant decline compared with before the resumption of work. The reason is that the order volume in the market this year is not very optimistic, and various irresistible factors have given the textile boss the idea of taking a holiday.
First of all, the Qingming Festival is approaching and is a national statutory holiday. It is very reasonable for companies to close for three days , but for those companies that were closed for a week or even a month, wouldn’t business be done? Speaking of this, those textile bosses who took a long holiday shook their heads and said: “Without the holiday, we will suffer greater losses. We cannot receive orders, and the factory is in operation every day. Water bills, electricity bills, and workers’ wages are all money. It is not as good as It’s a holiday, close the factory, and save some water and electricity bills.”
Take 300 looms as an example
The editor did some calculations. According to the current situation, first of all, the electricity bill will cost about 20,000 yuan a day. The water bill will be saved by using lake water, which will cost about 2 to 3,000 yuan. The raw materials will be purchased to some extent every day, which will cost about 5. 10,000 yuan, plus workers’ wages, so all the expenses for a day add up to about 100,000 yuan, or 3 million yuan a month! This is a huge pressure for textile companies that cannot receive orders now. Therefore, if you take a holiday for at least a month, you can save half of it. This is a wise choice for some textile bosses who cannot receive orders.
The textile market has collapsed, and I don’t know when it will turn around.
Since the start of construction, Now, first the domestic epidemic is raging, domestic trade is in jeopardy, causing panic, and then the foreign epidemic is spreading, foreign trade is raising alarms, causing foreign trade to plummet again. If you ask ten textile people now, at least eight of them are at a loss as to what the future market will be like.
1. Overcapacity and overstocked inventory
Nowadays, cloth sellers cannot sell cloth; The entire textile market is in a vicious cycle. Although the price of raw materials continues to fall, the inventory is still very large. Textile bosses simply dare not purchase raw materials and increase inventory. If the cloth woven cannot be sold in time, it will become inventory. Being able to sell it at a low price means a “loss” in the final analysis. But no one wants the low price! Recently, the most common news in the circle of friends is “low-price processing of gray fabrics”. For example, some hot-selling fabrics in the past are now being sold at low prices. The voice of all textile bosses now is probably: “Please buy it, bosses” Buy my cloth and I will sell it at any price you want.”
2. Domestic demand is too low and orders are difficult to receive
This year due to the epidemic, Domestic trade, which was already at a disadvantage, has reached the bottom. Although the domestic epidemic is currently under control, due to the unsatisfactory market last year and the reduction in domestic trade demand in recent years, the domestic trade environment is not very good. In addition, due to the impact of the epidemic, Many garment factories have not yet started operations, and textile companies lack downstream orders. The failure to receive orders has once again plunged textile bosses who thought that the improvement of the domestic epidemic situation would be a rebound in domestic trade into abyss.
Many textile bosses do not actually have any substantive strategies for this situation. Indeed, there is nothing that can solve these problems now. It is nothing more than reducing production, stopping work, reducing losses, etc. We still need to wait and see what happens.
The price of raw materials has dropped, and gray fabrics are sold at low prices without inquiries. However, the editor believes that all textile bosses do not need to panic. Today’s textile market is generally not optimistic. Everyone is in a trough period. The only thing that is hot is now For hot protective fabrics, the demand for other fabrics will decrease, but it will not disappear. It’s not impossible that this year’s poor market conditions are paving the way for next year’s good market conditions. As long as you hold on, the current difficulties won’t be a problem! </p
