The information about the delayed opening of Guangzhou International Textile City is still on February 19, and there is no news so far
According to a report on the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government’s press conference on epidemic prevention and control work on February 17, when the Zhongda Cloth Market will resume work and production will be “based on the epidemic prevention and control situation in Guangzhou, especially in Hubei. “Depends on the situation of epidemic prevention and control”
After research and decision: Guangzhou International Textile City will continue to remain closed and postpone the opening of the market. Once the specific opening time is determined, it will be announced first. Time notification (subject to receipt of market opening notice from relevant government departments)
Zhongda Textile Circle has 59 professional markets with nearly 23,000 businesses The merchants gathered about 150,000 people coming to Guangzhou, including 52,000 people from Hubei. Zhongda Textile Circle stated that due to the large number of employees from Hubei Province in Zhongda Textile Circle and surrounding urban villages, for the sake of the life, health and safety of the general public, the opening of the market has been temporarily postponed. The epidemic has not yet been completely controlled, and this move is correct. However, the economic losses for various companies are clearly visible.
Xiao Chen has a stall in Wufeng District 1 of Zhongda Textile City. He did business worth 1 million yuan a month ago very easily. Now that it has not started construction, the loss in February may be over 1 million, and the first quarter of this year is considered a failure.
Zhongda Textile, located in Haizhu District, is one of the areas with the largest number of Hubei migrant workers in Guangzhou. There are more than 50,000 garment workers from Hubei, and stall owners are concentrated here. It is a village in the city, so it has become a key area for epidemic prevention and control in Guangzhou.
What is the impact of the shutdown of major professional markets in Guangzhou?
As we all know, Guangzhou has always been a strong city for labor import, many of which are concentrated in professional wholesale markets.
As an important part of Guangzhou’s commerce and trade industry, Guangzhou’s professional wholesale market has a large overall scale and operates a wide range of commodities.
According to statistical data, there were 713 professional markets in the city in 2018, with more than 800,000 market merchants, involving textiles and clothing, footwear, leather goods, aquatic products, flowers, and tea. industry and other industries, with total market transactions exceeding one trillion yuan.
As for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang clusters, although the resumption of work has already begun, the actual number of people arriving varies according to different regions. According to the epidemic situation, workers arrived in batches.
Mr. Wang, a textile boss in Wujiang area, said: “At present, half of the workers have arrived. However, the production capacity has just started, and the production capacity is still relatively low. The proportion of trade to work is greater than that of the factory. Moreover, the out-of-town logistics has not yet started, and transactions are also restricted.”
Of course, many textile bosses still say that they dare not resume work easily during the current epidemic. A textile boss in Xiaoshao area said: “To start work, all you need to do is submit an application, and most of our factory employees are locals, so I’m not worried about the shortage of workers after we start work. But now domestic trade is greatly affected, and the epidemic in Wuhan is still there. It’s very serious, and most of my customers are in Hubei, so I don’t plan to start work in February!”
In 2019, there was a saying in the industry that in 2019 2020 may be the worst year in ten years, and it will also be the best year in ten years. As soon as I finished speaking, the epidemic in 2020 added a footnote to this sentence. Is everything going in the wrong direction? Things have already happened. Will there be a good turn?
Digital printing!
It is understood that many traditional printing factories are now considering digital printing because of the difficulty of workers arriving at work. We all know the advantages of digital printing’s intelligent and automated operations, but before that, it was limited to small batches. Multiple batches are both advantages and disadvantages that traditional printing does not consider. Large batches have always been market needs, which makes it difficult to make traditional printing more efficient. Printing gives up this advantage and transforms into digital printing. However, the market situation is that companies invest in insurance and most of their orders favor small orders, which are stable and risk-free. However, traditional manual printing has complicated processes, monotonous and rigid colors, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. , requires multiple skilled masters to operate the whole process, which is often one of the biggest costs of the printing factory. Now it is difficult for workers in the printing factory to get to work, the operation is complicated, and it is not as intelligent as the digital printing machine. Therefore, many traditional printing factories are consulting us about the situation of digital printing machines, which is an obvious market signal.
According to predictions by industry professionals , digital printing will grow 2 to 3 times in 2020. This growth figure is undoubtedly astonishing. Now that the epidemic has gradually stabilized, the national economy is bound to rise in an all-round way. It is a good time for digital printing to show its talents! In 2020, turn difficulties into motivation, digital printers, go for it!
