In October, the textile market has had a good start. No, before the long holiday is over, the market has ushered in a wave of “price increases.” Raw materials have increased, gray fabrics have increased, fabrics have increased, dyeing fees have increased… Recently, the editor has learned that the price of gall fabric has increased!
The average price increase of gall cloth is 0.2-0.3 yuan/meter
Through market research, gall cloth manufacturers have recently raised their prices to a certain extent, and most specifications The average price of gall cloth increased by 0.2-0.3 yuan/meter per meter. Gallbladder was the first to start the road to price increases for fabrics. For gallbladder, which is inherently cheap, the increase of 0.2-0.3 yuan/meter is very large, especially in this year’s sluggish market.
The price increase of bile cloth is caused by a series of chain reactions in the market. First of all, with the arrival of the “Silver Ten” holiday, the return of orders has stimulated the entire downstream market, thereby stimulating manufacturers’ enthusiasm for production and increasing demand for raw materials. Due to the improvement of downstream orders, the upstream chemical fiber factories have raised the prices of polyester filaments. They have started to increase the price slightly continuously during the National Day holiday, which has led to increased cost pressure on gray fabric manufacturers. Some gray fabrics that were sold at a loss in the early stage have gradually restored their prices. Since the overall sales of gallbladder cloth were weak before October, the price was also at a loss. Once the price of gray cloth is raised, the cost pressure will increase. In addition, now that the market is improving, the gallbladder cloth market will naturally follow the price increase.
The person in charge of a local large-scale gallbladder fabric supermarket said frankly: “In the first half of the year, all gallbladder fabric supermarkets were selling at a loss, and the inventory has been insufficient. The goods on the market are starting to move now, the volume is picking up, and some experts predict that there is a high probability of a cold winter this year. The price of gray fabrics has also increased, and driven by the market, gallbladder manufacturers have increased their prices.”
Sales of gallbladder cloth rebounded, with millions of meters of orders appearing
As a matching product for down jackets, the second half of the year is the peak sales season for gallbladder cloth, and sales have also begun to pick up recently. It is understood that gall cloth has become popular recently, and spring is finally here. A Danbu boss said that recently there have been orders for millions of meters of Danbu, and small orders have also begun to increase, with a daily volume of two to three million meters guaranteed. The original volume was only 70,000 to 80,000 meters per day, which was only one-third of the current volume.
The owner of a gallbladder fabric supermarket revealed: “This year, tens of millions of meters of inventory have been accumulated, and it really didn’t move before. It started to improve at the end of September, and during the National Day We were still busy rushing to ship goods, and the volume of 4 containers was particularly busy. Now that most of the inventory has been digested, we are busy stocking up again.” The market situation of gallbladder fabrics this year is different from previous years, and the new crown epidemic has had a serious impact on the fabric market. . Fabric profits have shrunk and appointments have been missed during the spring and summer peak seasons, making the entire fabric market perform “miserably” before October. However, as a must-match item for down jacket fabrics, the second half of the year is the peak season when gallbladder fabrics are in greatest demand. According to Boss Bu’s experience, the demand for cold-proof clothing fabrics usually starts in October, mainly to cater to the e-commerce sales festivals of Double Eleven and Double Twelve. Therefore, the recent hot sales of bile cloth are mainly due to the demand during the e-commerce festival. Coupled with the recent cold winter forecast, the demand for gallbladder cloth has been further stimulated.
The sustainability of this round of good market conditions is still unknown
The market conditions in October have indeed improved significantly, and the “Silver Ten” has arrived as promised. But while textile people are happy, they can’t help but feel worried about the future. How long can this market trend last? According to the predictions of some cloth bosses, the current market situation of gall cloth is expected to last until the beginning of November. In October, we will prepare for the double festival sales, and the clothing sold by e-commerce is mainly winter cold-proof clothing, so the demand for gallbladder cloth is evident. Double 12 is actually a supplementary order after Double 11, and its volume is smaller than Double 11. Therefore, the sales of autumn and winter fabrics will also slowly decline.
At the same time, Danbu supermarkets have sprung up in the market in the past two years. Danbu has also begun a road of fierce competition. Even if the market is picking up, not all Danbu companies are performing well. Coupled with the substantial accumulation of gall cloth inventory caused by last year’s warm winter, the current inventory of gall cloth supermarkets is tens of thousands of meters, which is still being destocked. The wave of market prices in August lasted for about January, but still failed to have a major impact on the reduction of social inventories of gray fabrics.
It can heat up the gallbladder market in a short period of time, but as long as this market wave ends, the demand for gallbladder will still be very limited. What’s more, today is different from the past. Today, the gall cloth market is oversupplied and raw material prices are also fluctuating. For the gall cloth market, the test it will face in the future is still very severe</p
