Recently, the editor learned that due to a reduction in business volume, a printing and dyeing factory will issue notices and criticisms to salesmen with low performance. This news seems to be the first time the editor has heard of it. What makes the editor even more surprised is that there has been less work in the printing and dyeing factories recently?
With this question, the editor conducted a research on the market. The current textile market as a whole has a weakening trend. The market Falling orders, weak domestic sales, and a sharp drop in foreign trade have affected both gray fabrics and printing and dyeing.
The delivery speed of gray cloth has slowed down, and it is difficult for manufacturers to balance production and sales
In terms of gray fabrics, elastic fabrics that have been selling well since August, led by T400 and T800, are the most popular. Now they are facing the problem of excess gray fabrics and reduced sales. In terms of other conventional products, such as polyester taffeta, pongee, nylon, Shumei silk and other autumn and winter fabrics, there is also a certain volume of shipments. Entering September, with the reduction of traders’ orders, the delivery speed of gray cloth has also slowed down, destocking has slowed down, and production and sales have once again fallen into a difficult situation.
The owner of a company specializing in the production of pongee said: “The market started to get better in August, and the warehouses were slowly destocked, and the production and sales could be evened out. But in September, the sales volume decreased again. Now, we can’t get out all the gray fabrics that come off the machine every day, and the warehouse is starting to get full again.”
The incoming warehouse volume of printing and dyeing factories decreased, and the operating rate dropped slightly
In terms of printing and dyeing, it is said that printing and dyeing is the weathervane of the textile market, and it does reflect the market situation very well. In August, as orders for autumn and winter fabrics were issued, the number of printing and dyeing factories entering warehouses was also increasing day by day, and the operating rate also rebounded. Some manufacturers were fully operating their machines, and there were even warehouse explosions. The overall market operating rate also rose to about 70%. But in September, the pace of order placement slowed down, and the warehousing volume of printing and dyeing factories gradually decreased. The daily warehousing volume of most manufacturers dropped from 500,000 to 600,000 meters to 200,000 to 300,000 meters per day. The increased power-on rate has obviously become slacker, so some manufacturers have fine-tuned the power-on rate. In order to ease the production pace, the overall power-on rate has also dropped to 60%.
A salesperson from a printing and dyeing factory revealed: “There has been less work recently. Except for the four-sided stretch orders, which are still a lot, the quantities of other conventional fabrics are not large, especially foreign trade orders. , a lot less. The operating rate has also dropped from the original full opening to about 80%. The four-sided ammunition workshop is still fully open, and other workshops have dropped.”
August, which was originally the off-season, ushered in a wave of “Little Indian Spring”, but September, the traditional peak season, “died down” and the “Golden Nine” was not golden. What is going on?
Autumn and winter fabric orders started in August
This wave of recovery in August is actually a normal phenomenon. August is the starting point for autumn and winter clothing and the starting point for autumn and winter fabric orders. The issuance of a new round of orders brought vitality to the originally calm textile market. All industrial chains began to ship goods, and it was very busy for a while. By September, the orders that should be placed have basically been placed, so the volume began to decrease. Although the sales volume of clothing made of winter fabrics is higher than that of spring and autumn, due to the impact of the epidemic this year, the overall demand has decreased, and the pre-sales of winter clothing have also decreased. Therefore, the momentum of autumn and winter fabrics lasted for a short period of time, and actually faded away in September.
The number of market orders has been significantly reduced
In addition to domestic sales orders, market orders are also an important factor affecting market conditions. In previous years, the number of market orders was very large, and its issuance could often overwhelm dyeing factories. However, this year has obviously been affected by the epidemic, and the number has been significantly reduced. In addition, printing and dyeing factories are generally not busy, and the dyeing processing of market orders is completed quickly, so the time is kept short. Under the influence of the epidemic, the timing of orders has also deviated. Market orders should have been placed in September, but they were advanced to August this year. This is why the market in August was better than in September.
Foreign trade orders have not been started yet
In terms of foreign trade, August also improved with the improvement of the domestic sales market, but it was also due to seasonal orders for autumn and winter fabrics. However, the continuation of the overseas epidemic has had a great impact on the demand for clothing, and the order volume was limited, so it only lasted for just half a month. According to Boss Bu’s experience, foreign trade orders in the second half of the year are usually between the end of September and before Christmas. So according to the release time of foreign trade orders in previous years, it has not started yet, which also explains the reason for the current weak orders. The second outbreak of the epidemic overseas has forced some companies to close their operations, which has obviously affected the demand for clothing, resulting in fewer foreign trade orders.
It is not certain that the “Golden Nine” will not be golden, and there is still a chance for improvement in late September. According to Boss Bu’s experience, domestic sales orders will beThe orders will be placed from late September to the end of October, and foreign trade orders will be placed from late September to Christmas. If the market this year continues to operate according to the traditional trajectory, a new round of orders will begin in late September. In general, there is still a chance that the “Silver Ten” will come, but the market’s confidence cannot be lost, but it should be fully prepared to welcome it.
