“We haven’t had many orders recently and can only do it until March. We will be busy when we first start working. Because of the orders before the launch, the overall order volume in March is actually not as large as February,” said Mr. Feng, who specializes in polyester fabrics.
“Now the factory is making pongee and polyester taffeta, and the orders are pretty good. They are all orders from old customers. The orders are a little less than when we first started.” A person who specializes in polyester taffeta , said Mr. Jin from Chun Yafang.
“There have been a lot of orders recently, and I can basically make it until the end of March. Of course, there are other orders to be received. The largest order at the moment is a 1 million meter 100D four-sided bomb order. . Orders are generally increasing, and there are relatively more proofs.” said a manager who specializes in imitation silk and four-sided elastic.
Judging from the results of this survey, most textile bosses said that orders in March were not as good as in the previous period. What is the reason for this phenomenon?
Demand is crucial, and the market will be good only if there is demand
Mr. Feng, who is mainly engaged in channel distribution
“We mainly make channel fabrics. It is the off-season now. We usually are busy from May to December, which is the peak season.”
As the above-mentioned textile boss said, it is not yet there How can the demand be so great when channel fabric is supposed to be on sale? Of course, not only is the demand for non-seasonal fabrics low, but the demand for seasonal fabrics is also not as high as when the market is good.
In recent years, demand has been an important reason for the pressure on textile people. Since 2018, the demand in the textile market has been difficult to increase. The problem of overcapacity in 2019 has become very serious. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, demand has plummeted. Although the epidemic is under control in 2021, the growth of demand always requires a buffer period. It is also very difficult to grow immediately. Textile bosses have also expected it. Although it has just been When construction started, the market was unbelievably good, but this was only a temporary situation and could not escape the ravages of time.
Itisnowmid-March.Seeingthatthe”GoldenThree” has passed halfway, there are only a few hot-selling products in the market. What is a peak season? It is called a peak season when all products are selling well. Some textile bosses in the market are happy and some are sad. I heard this in the morning. , some textile bosses have already received large orders of one million meters, while some textile bosses have just finished shipping the goods from the previous year and then directly received orders in twos and threes. The reason for this situation is still insufficient demand.
The lack of demand is also accompanied by rising prices of raw materials, gray fabrics, dyeing fees, and finished products. Is this a blessing or a worry…
01
It is impossible to stock up on raw materials
The price is scary, scary
From the start of work in February to now, the price of raw materials has been on an upward trend. After learning the lessons from last year, the textile bosses did not stock up on more raw materials before the New Year this year. However, they never expected that the price of raw materials would drop as soon as the start of work. The crazy rise has also caused problems for textile bosses. Should they stock up on some?
“We have stocked up on raw materials a little bit, but we are not going to stock up anymore. There is no such demand.”

Mr. Feng, who specializes in polyester fabrics
“We don’t plan to stock up anymore. The price has increased too much. We need Buy a little bit when the time comes.”
“Don’t stock up on raw materials. The prices are now horribly high. We still have some inventory, and our fabrics are not selling well now. There is no need to stock up. Prices should go down a bit for some time.”
Mr. Feng, who is mainly engaged in channel fabrics
Obviously, the textile bosses also understand that the current price of raw materials is real It is too expensive, and raw materials will only be purchased on demand when customers place orders. There are also textile bosses who choose small raw material factories to purchase raw materials. The price will be cheaper than large-scale raw material factories. Of course, the price increase of raw materials is also difficult to control. Textile bosses The only way to recoup the cost is by raising the price of gray fabrics.
The price of gray fabrics has increased rapidly. Will customers have a small 99 in their hearts?
02
Price increase? You have to accept it even if you don’t accept it!
Is it difficult not to buy it?
Mr. Feng, who specializes in polyester fabrics
“Customers must accept it, and they also understand us very well. The cost has increased too much. It is impossible to raise prices, and customers have not refused to buy goods because of price increases. Everyone has risen. If raw materials continue to rise, our gray fabric prices will continue to rise.”

“We are all old customers. We took a lot of goods when the price just increased. Now the inventory is almost cleared. After receiving The price of orders will definitely increase, and we can’t sell at a loss even if the cost increases.”
Mr. Feng, who is mainly engaged in channel distribution
” It is difficult for customers to accept the price increase of old products, and it will definitely cause losses, but we must also ensure our own profit points.”
Fu Zong, who specializes in four-sided bombs
“Customers are willing toThere will be objections, and downstream customers will not accept the price increase at all. We can only look for cheap gray fabrics everywhere, and we have no choice.”
Some customers can understand the price increase. After all, the price of raw materials has increased too much, and the price of gray fabrics will naturally follow suit. , but some customers cannot accept it. This is also common sense. Last year, the price of gray cloth was so cheap. This year, the increase was 5 cents, 1 yuan or even 2 yuan. Such a big gap, it would be difficult to change No one can accept it.
In addition to the increase in raw material prices, dyeing fees are also rising, which will naturally lead to an increase in the price of finished products. Everything is going up. Although textile bosses I feel bitter in my heart, but I can only accept it happily.
Of course, most textile bosses still hold good hopes for the future market. “The market may get better in the future.” “However, some textile bosses believe that the future market situation is still unknown. “It is not possible to judge whether the market is good or bad prematurely. There are too many uncertain factors. “The above two answers are the most heard in this survey, but fortunately no textile boss said that the market will start to weaken in the future, which shows that everyone still has expectations for the market!
