It has been less than half a month since the company resumed work, and this half month has directly dampened the enthusiasm of textile bosses to roll up their sleeves and actively take orders. One textile boss even complained that “with today’s market conditions, the textile industry seems to have gone backwards 20 years.” year.”
March was originally a month when money was being made every day, but now it is ” “The off-season in the off-season”
You must know that March and April of previous years were the heydays when major textile companies were reluctant to accept orders. According to data monitoring from Silkdu.com In the past three years, the average inventory of weaving enterprises in Shengze area has been around 32 days. Except for 2019, it has remained at or below 30 days in 2017 and 2018. Although the market in 2019 was not as good as the previous two years, it still remained stable throughout the year. The lowest, look at the current inventory days, although it has declined, it still remains at around 38 days. The management of a company that produces imitation silk said that at this time last year, the inventory of gray fabrics remained at about 36 or 37 days, but this year the inventory of gray fabrics is as high as 50 days.
It is understandable that the sales of these old varieties are not good. In fact, the sales volume in the past was just that. So what is the situation of the new varieties now? The newly developed T400 series stretch fabric “King of Glory” in the past two years can be said to be the darling of the textile industry. In the past, demand exceeded supply and there was basically no inventory. But now it is almost desolate and the inventory is full.
The editor after the meal During a casual chat, I asked a friend that the market conditions are so bad now and the inventory of gray fabrics remains high. Have you ever thought about selling these gray fabrics at low prices? , the supply is greater than the demand, even if it is sold at a low price, no one will buy it, so we can only wait and see one step at a time.”
So what caused this year’s even Why is business so sluggish during the peak season?
1. The issue of “epidemic” is a commonplace

A Mr. Li who owns 400 looms said frankly: “This time last year, it was like At least 2 million meters of chiffon yarn and Huayao crepe series of gray fabrics have been sold. So far, less than 1 million meters have been sold, which is only half of last year. The market last year was so bad that I don’t even dare to think about it this year. I think.” The gray fabrics Mr. Li mentioned are mainly used to produce spring and summer clothing. Now is the time for those downstream garment factories to purchase large quantities of spring and summer clothing. But judging from the current situation, let alone buying clothes, it may be a big problem. Some people didn’t even leave the house.
2. Although there are “new problems”, we cannot ignore the “old troubles”
As the saying goes It is said that the textile industry has “three good years and three bad years”. The textile market in 2019 has made many textile people daunted. The textile inventory has reached a record high of 42 days. In addition, last year was a mild winter and no clothes could be sold. The textile industry Is there still food to eat?
In recent years, Jiaxing, Shengze and surrounding areas have moved a large number of water-jet looms to northern Jiangsu, Anhui and other places due to environmental issues, and even increased the number of machines significantly, and all of them have been started. The overcapacity has been in a state of saturation for a long time, and gray fabrics have flowed back to Shengze area for sale, resulting in a backlog of inventory, non-stop production, and gray fabric inventory has been difficult to digest.
According to international database statistics, sales in the clothing retail market have shown a downward trend in recent years, and clothing demand is declining. In recent years, the textile industry has been in an oversaturated state. Since 18 After the gray cloth inventory reached more than 35 days at the end of the year, it never dropped to the average of 32 days. In mid-2019, it remained at 39 or 40 days. The downstream demand is small and the upstream supply is large. The result is that the gray cloth has nowhere to sell and the market situation plummets.
Just imagine, if this year’s market collapses, will there be companies that resist it? If you cannot bear the pressure of high expenses such as loans, rents, wages, etc. and face the risk of bankruptcy, you hope that you will see a rainbow after the storm and that the market situation will be alleviated in two or three months.
According to the current situation, the market situation should not change significantly in the short term. Now that the epidemic is not over yet, we can only look forward to the weather in July and August. Or other factors can return to the right track, giving the clothing industry a voiceLet the textile industry have food to eat!
