Last month, affected by the so-called peak season, many autumn and winter fabrics became popular. Iconic autumn and winter fabrics such as cool silk cotton and T400 also suffered from tight inventory and skyrocketing raw materials. The situation of queuing up to get goods, but by the end of October, this peak season gimmick gradually began to decline…
Then the sad events of the textile bosses followed!
Today’s market conditions are no longer worthy of the “peak season” prices
“Last month, the market conditions suddenly improved. “The raw materials of cool silk cotton have increased from 9.8-10 yuan/kg to 12.5-13 yuan/kg, and the price of gray cloth has also increased from 2.3 yuan/meter to 2.6 yuan/meter because of the increase in raw materials.” A textile worker in Shengze area The boss said.
The “Silver Ten” peak season really did not disappoint the textile people, but even if the market in October is acceptable, Textile bosses can still only protect their capital! Through understanding, a textile factory has operated more than a hundred looms to weave 40S matte cool silk cotton. At a price of 2.6 yuan/meter, each machine must weave 400 meters a day, with an average daily output of 50,000 meters. Unfortunately, even that No matter how hard you work, you can only earn 20 yuan per loom per day (if the same electricity, labor and other expenses are not 400 meters per loom per day, you will lose money).
Now that the market has begun to fall again, the deserted market is no longer “worthy” of the original price of 2.6 yuan/meter. Finally, the price of gray fabrics has ushered in another reduction!
Use the most expensive raw materials to weave the lowest-priced gray cloth
The price of gray cloth is always falling, and the price of raw materials is falling. But it is still high. The decline in market prices is accompanied by the decline in gray fabrics. The 40s matte cool silk cotton that originally cost 2.6 yuan/meter has dropped back to the price before October of 2.3 yuan/meter. The raw materials bought at high prices can only be filled with sadness. The tears flowed down. The key is the warp wire (the warp beam has been pulled). If it is not made, it cannot be cut (it can only be put in stock). The stock is not as popular as the fresh warp.
Comparing the previous prices of raw materials with the current prices of gray fabrics, a loom originally weaved 400 pieces a day It takes 20 yuan to break even, but now a loom may have a net loss of 100 yuan per day.
Then maybe the question arises. If you don’t want to lose so much, will this 2.3 yuan/meter order be over if you don’t accept it?
Market order transaction price, is it possible to shut out customers?
“If you don’t take it now, will you lose more if you wait?” This is how most textile bosses answered the above questions.
Nowadays, this price is no longer controllable by the textile bosses themselves. This type of gray fabric belongs to the market, and the current market transaction price is only 2.3 yuan/meter. If you think you are losing money on the orders you are not selling, there are still a lot of people waiting to grab the orders. If you put down a little bit of self-discipline, you can retain a customer. If you take a high profile, you will only miss out on a great future.
Another point is that due to the hot sales of gray fabrics in the early stage, the raw material factories queued up to get the goods. Originally, the raw material factories did not have much inventory. , and the price reduction of raw materials is much slower than the price reduction of gray cloth, so it is still difficult for raw material prices to fall in the near future.
The fourth quarter is the off-season for the textile market. The price of gray fabrics is still 2.3 yuan/meter now. The price may continue to drop by December. Wouldn’t it be a bigger loss by then?
To sum up, if there is still demand, sell it as soon as possible. Now that you can keep customers, even if you lose money, it is worth it. As long as the demand is there, you will not be afraid of not making money.
Postscript
In short, there are less than two months left before the end of the “unlucky” year 2020. This year’s market situation can be called the worst year in the history of the textile industry. Some textile bosses have been worried about whether they can survive 2020 smoothly since the first quarter. Isn’t it safe now? So don’t be too cautious. Pessimistic, just like this year, although it is bad, at least there are still a few months that show everyone the “peak season style” and there are also busy times. I believe that 2021 will not disappoint everyone! </p
