There is a buzz of “rising”, is the printing and dyeing market happy to have a “good spring”?
Although it has just entered the second month of the lunar calendar, spring seems to have come for printing and dyeing enterprises.
Printing and dyeing companies in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian and other places have recently announced increases in dyeing fees, releasing a signal that the textile printing and dyeing market is picking up. A reporter from China Textile News learned in an interview that since the beginning of this year, the production recovery of the textile industry has been better than last year, and market expectations are optimistic, supporting the increase in dyeing fees. However, many printing and dyeing companies have accelerated the adjustment of their business strategies and regarded increasing the added value of products as an important way to cope with cost pressures.
There is a sound of “rising”
The traditional “gold, three, silver and four” market trends in the mid- and downstream markets have not yet arrived, but some fabric companies have successively received notices of increased dyeing fees.
Companies that have announced increases in dyeing fees include well-known companies such as Zhejiang Huadeli Holding Group Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Jinheng Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., and Hengsheng Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., as well as Zhejiang Xiuzhou, Tongxiang, Fujian Changle, Shishi, etc. Enterprises in local printing and dyeing clusters.
On February 14, Shantou Jiamei Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. issued an announcement, deciding to increase the processing fees for all fabric types by 500 yuan/ton starting from February 15. The processing fees for functional additive products and oily fabrics will be based on this. The price will be increased by 1,000 yuan/ton.
On February 6, Pengtu Textile Co., Ltd. issued an announcement that starting from that day, the dyeing fee for narrow-width fabrics will be increased to 9,500 yuan/ton, and the dyeing fee for glossy Italian velvet and twill fabrics will be increased to 7,500 yuan/ton.

On February 1, Zhejiang Huadeli Textile Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. issued an announcement that starting from February 6, the dyeing processing fee will be increased by 1,500 yuan/ton based on the original price, and the price for special processes will be increased by the same proportion.
A reporter from “China Textile News” found that in terms of price increase time, most companies concentrated on early to mid-February, and some companies announced price increases starting from the end of January. In terms of price increase, the maximum price increase is 10,000 yuan/ton, and the price of some summer products (ice silk, etc.) is increased to 9,000 yuan/ton.
Most of the price adjustment notices pointed out that due to the rising prices of dyes, steam, electricity and other energy sources, labor wages have been rising year by year, and investment in environmental protection and safety has increased. Large, printing and dyeing enterprises have been unable to maintain low-profit operations.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to December 2022, printing and dyeing enterprises above designated size achieved operating income of 312.526 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.42%, and total profits of 13.27 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.49%.
“The price of steam has risen particularly significantly in the past two years.” The person in charge of a company in Shantou, Guangdong said frankly that the company uses more than 2,000 tons of steam every month. The increase in this cost alone will cost more than 1 million yuan each year. . This is obviously a considerable expense for many printing and dyeing companies.
Where is the confidence?
In addition to cost increases, there may be other reasons for triggering such a large-scale increase in dyeing fees.
“We are rushing for orders at ‘full power’.” Sun Zheng, assistant general manager of Xinming Textile Co., Ltd., told the China Textile News reporter that the company’s warp knittingThe fabric has been sold to more than 20 countries and regions around the world. The order situation has continued to improve since the beginning of this year, with an increase compared with the same period last year. The current order volume has been scheduled to early April.
“We currently have 6 digital production lines, with an average daily output of 350,000 meters.” Du Tao, manager of the Jialian Printing and Dyeing Administration Department, said that the company’s various composite special protective workwear and other fabrics have covered more than 60 countries in Europe and the United States. national market. Currently, the company’s order volume is saturated.
Through various channels, Wang Xin, general manager of Huzhou ImportExport Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang Meixinda Printing and Dyeing Group, has early connected with new and old customers in the European and American markets. He confidently stated that exports accounted for 68% of the company’s overall sales last year. Judging from feedback from overseas customers, the company’s overseas orders this year will still maintain a good momentum. “We plan to build overseas factories in Southeast Asia this year, and with the addition of two offices in Italy and New York, the company will further increase its efforts to expand overseas markets in the future,” Wang Xin said.
In recent times, the production capacity of printing and dyeing enterprises in the printing and dyeing cluster area of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province has been continuously released. According to digital monitoring, Shaoxing Keqiao Jiangbin Water Treatment Co., Ltd.’s average daily water inflow to the plant has reached 360,000 tons, which is 120% of the average daily water inflow into the plant in the second half of last year.
According to the monitoring data of the China Shengze Silk Chemical Fiber Index from the Ministry of Commerce, printing and dyeing factories are basically in normal production. Workers’ attendance at work has resumed, factory operating rates have increased rapidly, and new orders are being placed one after another. From February 13th to 17th, the operating rate of printing and dyeing factories increased significantly to 69.8%. In terms of delivery time, the current quantity of gray fabrics entering warehouses is relatively good, and some factories have already liquidated their warehouses.Therefore, the delivery time is longer, generally more than 7 days, and some busier manufacturers require more than 10 days.
The recovering market may be the reason for the increase in dyeing fees for printing and dyeing companies. “The increase in dyeing fee prices is expected. Domestic sales and foreign trade market demand have improved recently, and the costs of water, electricity, steam, etc. have indeed increased slightly. This is the ‘window period’ for dyeing fee adjustment, and dyeing factories will naturally not miss the opportunity to fight for it.” Opportunities for profits.” Longzhong Information analyst Qi Jinyue pointed out, “After the Spring Festival this year, the recovery of production in the textile industry is significantly better than last year. Market expectations are generally optimistic and the market will usher in the ‘Little Indian Spring’.”
ShuffleSpeed up
However, a reporter from China Textile News learned in an interview that some printing and dyeing companies still have not issued price increase notices, and there is still a certain amount of price concessions and room for negotiation for old customers and large customers.
“The market is starting to heat up, but we still don’t dare to raise prices. The result of price increases may be a decline in demand, which is equivalent to giving up market share to competitors.” A printing and dyeing company who did not want to be named The person in charge said bluntly, “The most important task now is to relieve inventory pressure.”
“We basically have long-term cooperative relationships with our customers. Now the cost price has not fluctuated greatly, and our quotations are still business as usual.” Li Jiangwei, corporate sales director of Yuding Textile Co., Ltd., said that the company has recently received a lot of Long-term orders are being produced one after another.
“We have not issued price increase notices to customers for the time being.” Tu Qijie, manager of Shaoxing Xianghong Textile Co., Ltd., told reporters frankly, “Downstream customers are also waiting and watching.” He recalled that in March last year, the company followed the market and increased the dyeing fee price. The price was increased by 500 yuan per ton, and fewer customers placed orders.
“Of course, if it doesn’t rise now, it doesn’t mean it won’t rise in the future. Maybe after a while, our dyeing fees will be raised.” Tu Qijie analyzed, “For example, the current dye prices are still based on maintaining stability and wait-and-see. The price of disperse dyes The operating range is between 20 yuan/kg and 22 yuan/kg. However, with the arrival of the traditional peak season of ‘gold, three, silver and four’, market demand increases, and the price of dyes should also increase. Now we are working hard to win more customers. ”
However, compared with price fluctuations, many printing and dyeing companies are already exploring new growth points on how to expand the market in the future. “The increase in dyeing fees is just a temporary measure for enterprise development. The fundamental way out is to increase the added value of products and take the high-end route.” Li Jiangwei said that since two years ago, the company has begun to optimize the product structure. “The cost of raw materials for low-end fabrics accounts for a large proportion, and is greatly affected by rising prices of raw materials. The company has reduced the production of these products, and at the same time increased the proportion of high-end fabric production to obtain higher profits.”
Qi Jinyue said that between rising dyeing fees and not rising, the printing and dyeing industry may be accelerating a new round of reshuffle: after the dyeing fees of some companies increased, their orders It may flow to other companies; some companies rely on their own strength to reach cooperation agreements with buyers even if dyeing fees rise; while some companies choose to “stand still”, which may affect their own profits in the long run… “Every time the dyeing fee price appears Times of fluctuation are both opportunities and challenges for enterprises. All enterprises need to do is to strengthen their confidence, remain patient, and pioneer and innovate.”
