Recently, a fabric boss said: “My company has received orders for June next year. They are all recycled fabrics, and a total of 1.4 million meters have been placed. , because it needs to be woven to order, so the production time span is relatively long.”
Recycled fabrics, which have been idle for more than half a year, seem to be becoming popular again. Indeed, it is understood that the sales of manufacturers producing recycled fabrics on the market have begun to increase. A manufacturer of recycled fabrics reported: “Since August in the second half of the year, the sales of recycled fabrics have been very good. So far, the inventory has been almost cleared. Some specifications may have to wait a few days to be available.”
In the first half of 01, no one paid attention to recycled fabrics due to the impact of the epidemic
Recycled fabrics have been a very popular type of fabric in recent years. , especially the EU government has ordered a ban on textile waste and required member states to carry out specialized textile recycling from 2025 to improve the reuse rate of textile fabrics. This paper ban pushed recycled fabrics to a peak, and recycled fabrics quickly blossomed in the domestic market. However, in the first half of this year, recycled fabrics were once neglected, and some weaving factories even stopped the production of recycled fabrics and switched to other products. Orders for recycled fabrics were bleak in the first half of the year, mainly due to the epidemic. Although all fabric orders in the first half of the year were affected by the epidemic, recycled fabrics suffered a greater impact. We all know that the demand for recycled fabrics is mainly in the export market, especially in Europe and the United States. The domestic market use is smaller, but it is also gradually increasing. However, the European and American markets with the largest demand for recycled fabrics are also the areas where the epidemic is most severe. The entire clothing consumer market has shrunk. Not only that, but consumer trends are also shifting to the mid- to low-end. Therefore, the demand for recycled fabrics that are more expensive than ordinary fabrics has increased sharply. decline.
In the second half of 2002, orders for recycled fabrics began to recover along with clothing sales
In the second half of the year, orders for recycled fabrics began to improve again. The important thing is naturally the improvement in foreign trade orders. Although the overseas epidemic situation has worsened again recently, overall foreign trade exports have recovered to the majority, and the number of foreign trade fabric orders placed is acceptable. With the recovery of foreign trade orders, orders for recycled fabrics are also recovering. After all, many foreign clothing brands have set a flag to use 100% recycled fabrics in the future. The recovery of sales of such brands means that the demand for recycled fabrics is recovering.
Adidas: Announced full use of recycled polyester fiber in 2024! Reached cooperation with the sustainable brand Allbirds to explore the development of renewable materials; ZARA: 100% of the products of all the group’s brands, including Zara, Pull & Bear, and Massimo Dutti, will be made of sustainable fabrics by 2025; H&M: By 2030 Will achieve 100% use of recycled or other sustainably sourced materials…
The editor also learned that most of the orders for recycled fabrics received in the second half of the year were for the production of winter clothing, and very few orders for recycled fabrics were received for the production of spring and summer clothing. Not long ago, the boss of Youbu received an order of 1.5 million meters of recycled chiffon, and 30% of it was canceled the next day. Although the order volume after the cancellation was still large, this illustrates the expectations of clothing manufacturers for spring and summer clothing. Not good, so the quantity was reduced. The 1.4 million meters of recycled fabrics that the cloth boss mentioned at the beginning are also used for winter clothing in 2021, and most of them are recycled nylon ultra-fine denier fabrics. Spring and summer clothing inventory will be sold next year
Judging from the number of orders, clothing manufacturers’ expectations for clothing sales next year are biased towards autumn and winter clothing, and their sales expectations for spring and summer clothing are not optimistic. On the one hand, there was almost no sales of spring and summer clothing in the first half of this year due to the epidemic, and there is still a lot of inventory. Therefore, next spring and summer will mainly digest this year’s inventory, and there will be less new product development. Originally, it should be the peak season for spring and summer orders, but judging from the current market situation, the number of spring and summer orders is not large, and autumn and winter clothing are still the main ones. Therefore, the actual order situation also reflects the partial quantity of spring and summer clothing. few.
Next year’s autumn and winter clothing sales may return to the same period in previous years
On the other hand, according to the latest news on vaccines, by the end of this year Put into production, the most optimistic prediction is that the overseas epidemic in the second half of next year will be controlled on a large scale. Once the epidemic is under control, sales in the clothing industry will soon recover. The first half of next year may still be in the early stages of economic recovery and epidemic control, and sales of spring and summer clothing will not pick up soon, so clothing manufacturers are more cautious in stocking up. In the second half of next year, there is a high probability that the epidemic can be controlled and the economy recovers well. The demand for autumn and winter clothing will also increase, so the stocking volume will be larger than that of spring and summer clothing. Editorial: With the recovery of clothing sales, sustainable development will be the theme of the future, whether domestic or foreign, and recycled fabrics will become a must-use fabric for many brands, so its popularity may continue to heat up.
