Before the holiday, textile professionals were cautiously speculating: Will the market rebound in October? As a result… after the short holiday, raw materials and gray fabrics increased, and the industrial chain was “thriving”!
The market has reappeared with large orders, and the operating rate of looms in various places has rebounded significantly!
“I have been so busy lately. I shipped more than 300,000 meters of polyester taffeta the day before yesterday. It felt like the market suddenly exploded.” The person in charge of a gray cloth factory in Wujiang area people expressed.
On the eve of the holiday, the editor conducted a market survey. Half of the textile people were optimistic about the market in October, and only 12% of the participants believed that the market will continue to weaken. It can be seen that although this year’s “gold nine is not gold”, everyone is still looking forward to the arrival of the “silver ten” small peak season.
It is understood that after the National Day holiday, orders from both gray fabric factories and traders have declined. Well, some manufacturers have seen a sharp increase in orders and have directly canceled their plans for the National Day holiday. “Originally, we were going to have a holiday during the National Day, but the customer refused to let us go, and asked us to wait until the order was completed. But recently, when the order was about to be delivered, another batch of orders came in, and the quantity was acceptable, so we didn’t dare to take a holiday. “Mr. Chen, another textile boss, said.
The recent sales in the market are mainly concentrated in cold-proof clothing lining fabrics. The conventional “Three Musketeers of Cold-proof Clothing Lining Fabrics” sales include pongee, polyester taffeta, and nylon. It’s gratifying that many specifications are even out of stock.
“Recently, the gray fabrics in our factory have not increased for the time being, but the goods we receive from outside have increased slightly. I heard that the price of nylon yarn has increased significantly recently, and some specifications have increased. A few cents,” said a trader. The surge in periodic orders has prompted a significant recovery in market operating rates after the holiday. According to research, the current operating rate of looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is about 90%, of which the operating rate of water-jet looms is 80-90%, the operating rate of warp knitting is 90-100%, and the operating rate of circular knitting machines has also increased to about 80%.

“Cold Winter” With the expected blessing, the fabrics of cold-proof clothing are heating up rapidly
Recently, the National Climate Center predicts that a La Niña event will form this winter, which means that this winter may be an extremely cold winter. Regarding the “depending on the weather” situation in the textile industry, there is no doubt that this has become a major benefit for winter clothing sales this year. Based on the early expectations of many clothing brands for this year’s warm winter, they have been more cautious in purchasing fabrics for cold-proof clothing and have not stocked up much. This cold winter is expected to be conducive to the recovery of the textile industry from the bottom.
It is reported that whether it is the domestic trade or foreign trade market, recent orders for down jackets and cotton clothing fabrics have The volume is relatively large, and there are many “big orders” that have disappeared before. “Currently, our orders are coming in one after another, and we have recently received a T8 foreign trade order of several hundred thousand meters.” Textile boss Mr. Chen said.
02 Raw materials are rising step by step, and gray fabric prices are eager to increase.
Before the holiday, due to the “limited production and price guarantee” of polyester manufacturers, the Downstream manufacturers are actively purchasing, and the price of polyester yarn has also increased slightly. During the Double Festival, international crude oil performed strongly, forming support on the cost side. Coupled with better-than-expected downstream transactions after the festival, some manufacturers’ inventories have declined, and production enthusiasm has increased, which has also driven the purchase demand for raw materials. After the short holiday, bulk prices Textile raw materials are in full bloom.
For the gray cloth market, on the one hand, the cost side has formed good support, on the other hand, the demand side is better than the previous period, and the price of marketable products is more likely to rise in the later period. Under the expectation of buying up rather than buying down, downstream customers are driven purchasing enthusiasm.

The terminal sales season is approaching , clothing factories are accelerating orders.
In October, according to the sales practices of previous years, domestic “Double Eleven” and “Double Twelve”, foreign “Black Friday”, “Holy”Season” is the peak period for transactions in the textile and apparel industry, and these orders are generally placed in September and October.
Judging from the market situation in September, this year’s end-customer order changes from previous years’ advance stocking operations, and It is to implement the rhythm of “small orders and quick response”. In anticipation of the cold winter, many orders that were put on hold in the early stage have been placed in the near future, which has led to a significant warming of the market. A worker at a Zhejiang garment factory said that due to the orders from the garment factory The daily wages have recently been more than 300 yuan, and the factory is busy working overtime.
Postscript
This wave of market conditions has launched the first shot of “autumn harvest” for many textile bosses. Of course, it will still take time to test whether this cold winter will come, but for the current situation For many cloth bosses, taking advantage of this wave of market conditions, getting rid of some inventory and withdrawing funds has become the top priority. After all, it is difficult to judge the sustainability of the market, so they can only seize this opportunity and use it to break through!< /p
