Recently, textile companies have continued to delay the resumption of work, which has spread all over the circle of friends, especially the largest cloth market in the country – Guangzhou Zhongda Textile Business District After the notice was issued to postpone the opening of the market indefinitely, the market began to fall into a state of tension and anxiety.
On the 7th, two more cluster markets issued notices to postpone the start of construction indefinitely.
An analyst said that after the war against the epidemic began, some companies were worried that epidemic prevention and control would lead to increased costs, delayed delivery, loss of customers, and loan defaults. Today, this concern is increasingly urgent. If the resumption of work and production is delayed, the pressure-bearing capacity of some small and medium-sized enterprises will reach its limit, and the supply of goods will become increasingly scarce…
It is a dilemma for enterprises to resume work or continue to postpone it
This is indeed the case. Recently, the editor saw an account calculated by a business owner on the Internet: the factory building is more than 10,000 square meters, the monthly rent is 20 yuan per square meter, and the monthly rent is more than 200,000 yuan; the workers’ wages are It costs 500,000 to 600,000 yuan; their factory provides food and accommodation, so they rented a building to provide dormitories for 400 yuan each. They rented more than 20 dormitories. There is also social security. Each worker needs about 700 yuan per month. Qiqi In total, including equipment maintenance and purchase, the cost of opening the business every month is almost 1 million yuan.
For enterprises, now is indeed a dilemma. If we do not resume work, the monthly cost is too high. If we continue to delay the resumption of work, we may not be able to sustain it for long. If we resume work too hastily, if employees are infected and the factory is closed, the gains will outweigh the losses.
After returning to work, there are many problems
As of now , the new coronavirus epidemic is still at the point of concentrated outbreak. Experts say that the turning point of the epidemic has not yet arrived, and epidemic prevention and control must still be strictly guarded. Therefore, the vast majority of textile companies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have not resumed work and still responded to the call to “sit at home” “.
While chatting with Boss Bu, Boss Bu said frankly: “We are most concerned about when to resume work now, but after the resumption of work, there will be many problems. The new year is really difficult. Last year we all said that the market was too bad and we couldn’t make any money, so we could just protect our capital next year, but we always wanted to make money. I didn’t expect that this year we would really have to protect our capital.”
Currently, everyone is waiting for when the turning point of the epidemic will appear. If the turning point really appears around the 19th as predicted by experts, then the textile market will most likely follow the 21st We will gradually resume work in the future.
But after resuming work, companies are indeed faced with many problems.
It is difficult to recruit workers
It has always been a problem for textile companies This is a long-standing problem. In previous years, after the eighth day of the first lunar month, the market has begun to resume work normally, and companies are hiring while starting work. The textile market in 2019 was too bad, and many companies closed down or reduced production. Therefore, in previous surveys, many business owners said that recruiting workers in 2020 should not be too difficult.
But who would have thought that in the event of an epidemic, highways and cities would be closed in various places. Due to the serious epidemic situation in Hubei, Wenzhou, Ningbo, Fuyang, Hefei, Nanchang and other places, people from these areas are no longer allowed to enter the Shengze area. Even those who have entered the local area before must be quarantined for 14 days before going to work. Even if the epidemic can be controlled, companies will inevitably have too many considerations when it comes to future recruitment issues, making the recruitment issue even more difficult.
It is difficult to maintain capital
In 2019, the raw material polyester filament The price has been in a state of decline, which can be said to have reached a new low in several years. Before the Spring Festival in 2019, the price of polyester filament POY 150D was around 7,170 yuan/ton, the price of DTY 150D was around 8,950 yuan/ton, and the price of FDY 150D was around 7,700 yuan/ton. However, on February 3, affected by the lower limits of PTA and ethylene glycol on the first day of futures opening and the failure of the downstream weaving market to start operations, the price of FDY 150D fell by 250 yuan/ton. On the 4th, it fell by another 50 yuan/ton; the price of DTY 150D fell. 100 yuan/ton, and fell another 25 yuan/ton on the 4th.
In previous years, polyester factories will conduct There has been a wave of price increases, but this year due to the sudden epidemic, weaving companies have not resumed work, but polyester factories are continuing to produce and accumulate inventory. Polyester prices are expected to remain sluggish in the coming period. The falling polyester prices are not a good thing for weaving companies. The polyester stocked at low prices years ago will now become high-cost, while gray fabric inventory will become less and less valuable as the price of polyester drops.
It is difficult to receive orders
After returning to work, it is difficult to receive orders again. is a difficult problem. The market situation in 2019 itself has caused many textile bosses to lose confidence, and now…After two months of work, the textile market situation this year is even more difficult to describe. In terms of domestic trade, customers are relatively understanding of the nationwide epidemic. In addition, logistics has come to a standstill, so customers are not in a hurry. Everyone is on a united front. However, in terms of foreign trade, although Sino-US trade is good, bad news has come from other regions: India has significantly increased import tariffs and introduced policies to restrict imports! Vietnam clearly refuses all ships from “epidemic areas”! Indonesia, Jordan, and Russia have also suspended the import of some Chinese products!
After work resumes, foreign trade will face huge challenges. At the same time, after the resumption of work, the backlog of orders in dyeing factories will explode, and product shipments will inevitably be delayed. Companies will be relatively cautious when accepting orders.
After resuming work, textile companies will face more problems. But there is no need to lose confidence in the market in 2020. No one knows when the surprise will come. While waiting for the resumption of work, companies should still think carefully about countermeasures. After resumption of work, where should the company’s focus be to make up for the losses.
