At the beginning of the month, an order of 20 million meters of double-sided satin fabrics produced from imitation acetic acid and semi-gloss SPH raw materials revived the originally “dead” market. Full of vitality, I recently heard that this order has almost been completed, but the editor heard another thing based on this incident…
Textile boss was forced Helpless, but fortunately the customer is considerate!
As mentioned before, this type of imitation acetate fabric is a relatively high-end fabric. Although the price has dropped slightly due to the epidemic this year, it is still At a high price of 8 yuan/meter, in the current market environment, such high-end products are actually not very popular, so the “cutting corners” incident happened again!
“The previous 20 million meter order actually had some impact on the market. Recently, a fabric with the same properties has appeared on the market, which can replace the imitation acetic acid fabric and is cheap. A lot.” said a textile boss in Shengze area.
It is understood that the fabric is mainly made of warp imitation acetate and changed to ordinary glossy FDY and viscous, and the texture is changed to ordinary single-sided satin. To put it simply, this fabric is no longer an imitation acetate fabric, but in The texture is very similar to the imitation acetate fabric of double-sided satin, and the price is half cheaper. The current market price is generally around 4 yuan/meter.
Reducing costs has become the only way for textile bosses to protect their capital. Fortunately, customers also accept this approach. The price of gray fabrics this year is higher than last year. More or less, there has been a decline. Those gray fabrics that have increased by one or two cents due to the increase in raw material prices in the later period cannot actually make up for the textile boss’s early losses, so “cutting corners and cutting materials” has become a common thing.
Cost reduction is just to keep the last bit of profit!
“We have no choice. The prices offered by customers this year are really too low. For some large-volume orders, we have to lose a lot. For some orders of rayon, the price given by the customer was already lower than the cost price, but they had to accept it, so they had to change it to water spraying. There are definitely disadvantages, but this is the last way to save capital.” A textile boss in the Shengze area said helplessly.
Indeed, the case of using compression costs to protect capital as mentioned earlier is also It’s no longer just one or two. This year, due to the backlog of early inventory, textile bosses sold goods at low prices, and the price of raw materials has reached an all-time low, making it difficult for the prices of many gray fabrics to rise even if they fall.
Nowadays, with the increase in various expenses, textile bosses can no longer afford such low-priced gray fabrics, but customers are continuing. If they don’t take orders this time, they may not accept them next time. If you place an order again, you have to bite the bullet and take the order. For example, the above-mentioned textile boss said that although the use of water-jet looms to produce rayon gray fabrics will cause the gray fabrics to deteriorate after being stored for a long time, this greatly reduces the cost. The daily operating cost of each loom is at least more than 100 yuan/day lower than that of air-jet looms. .
Under the current market environment, it is difficult for the price of gray fabrics to increase significantly. Even if the price increases, it will be difficult to return to the level of previous years. As for the next market situation, No one can tell. It was originally thought that the good news of the vaccine could bring the textile market back on track, but the British strain has something “awry”. The virus will mutate. Even if there is a vaccine, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. This seems to be verified. Despite the early predictions of most textile people, the market may not necessarily improve by next year. Regarding the epidemic, it now seems to give people a feeling that it has been integrated with current life. Perhaps the epidemic will not be completely eradicated, but will only have a smaller impact on life.
Now It’s not that there are no orders, it’s just that there are fewer than before. We can’t say one-sidedly whether the market is good or bad. In fact, the polarization is quite serious now. Some textile bosses can ship a few trucks of goods every day, while some can’t even ship a week. One car. In fact, I can’t tell you the true situation of today’s market. There is less than a week until the end of 2020, and there are still many unknowns about 2021. Please look forward to it!
