“Originally, the Chinese New Year was early this year. We originally planned to have a holiday around the 10th. But now because of the frequent arrival of Xiaoyang people, it is difficult to guarantee the number of people on duty. As a result, some orders at the end of the year cannot be completed in time, so we can only postpone the holiday for another week to rush production. The orders should be completed before the end of the year,” said a textile boss.
The losses caused by workers being unable to come to work can only be made up for by postponing their holidays. According to the textile boss, the order volume is not large, only a few kilometers, but the customer requires that the goods must be shipped before the year, otherwise he will have to bear the losses. It was completely ready for shipment before. However, due to a large number of workers who were unable to work on the machine due to illness during the New Year’s Day, the workload that could have been completed in a few days was delayed for several days. Fortunately, most of the factory’s employees stayed locally for the New Year. , and didn’t waste time going home.
Celebrate the New Year on the spot and ensure workers are on duty next year
Now that the country is liberalizing, not to mention that the demand for orders will pick up immediately, but the demand will definitely increase in the later period, and with it will come the problem of recruitment. Failure to start production immediately in the coming year will also bring considerable losses to the company.
It is also a good thing for textile workers to celebrate the New Year on the spot. It can ensure the arrival rate of workers when work starts next year and save the trouble of recruiting workers again. The difficulty of recruiting workers has always been one of the old problems that has been difficult to solve in the textile market for a long time. This year, with the policy changes Let go, recruiting workers in the coming year may be easier than in the past two years. In the past two years, due to the epidemic, many textile workers would rather stay in their hometowns to work than go out to work. The recruitment problem in textile factories is also very prominent, according to a textile boss. : “Our factory couldn’t recruit workers at all last year. Fortunately, there weren’t many orders, and the original number of workers was about the same. If there were more orders, we would definitely have to recruit new workers. We will definitely recruit a few workers for the New Year this year. The policy is liberalized I believe it will be easier.”
Of course, there will definitely not be many textile workers celebrating the Chinese New Year on the spot this year. They can go home at any time after the policy is relaxed. Unlike before, they had to prove it. This year’s “Spring Festival” craze will definitely be more lively than in previous years.
The operating rate has dropped rapidly, and the holiday is just around the corner
The operating rate also dropped significantly after New Year’s Day. Although the above-mentioned manufacturers postponed their holidays, most manufacturers still ended their work this year this week. According to data monitoring from Silkdu.com, the current operating rate of sample companies is around 35%. Many manufacturers have reduced their operating rates to the minimum. Some smaller manufacturers have even shut down for holidays. Only a few manufacturers are still producing. The holiday craze has emerged. The Chinese New Year is only half a month away. Generally speaking, this stage is exactly the time for holidays in previous years. In addition to weaving factories, other printing and dyeing manufacturers will also take holidays starting next week.
This year’s market has come to an end. To sum up, demand is poor and profits are poor. Textile bosses call it “the worst year in history.” Of course, under this year’s market, there are also manufacturers that can receive millions of meters of orders. Yes, it is difficult for everyone to be happy with the market this year. Only a small number of manufacturers are doing reasonably well. The demand recovery next year will definitely be better than this year. As for how good it is, it is up to the textile bosses themselves to strive for it.
The difficult 2022 has become a thing of the past. Let’s work hard to take orders and make money in 2023!
