Recently, a joke has spread in the textile market: Copper is roaring, aluminum is roaring, oil is roaring, oil is roaring… raw material prices are rising steadily, early quotations are invalid, and the market has no regrets. “Has the price gone up today?” has become a question that weavers consider every day when they get up.
So for fabric traders, “Has it been shipped today?” is their focus in the near future. It is true that a dyeing factory succeeds and a dyeing factory fails!
One month later, ordering is still busy
Looking back on mid-to-late October, in addition to the rising prices of raw materials, the phenomenon of dyeing factories bursting out of their warehouses and copying orders to grab fabrics is also clearly visible. Now that it is early December, is the dyeing factory market still in full swing?
A month ago, Boss Bu’s circle of friends looked like this:
One month later, Boss Bu’s circle of friends is still like this:
Recently, when I visited the dyeing factory, I found that although the dyeing factory’s large-volume orders are gradually decreasing, many new products and processes are being tried in an orderly manner, and the development of new samples has increased, the dyeing factory as a whole is still relatively busy, especially some hot-selling products. Variety, such as imitation memory, nylon and other products, the delivery time is generally 20-30 days. Many traders have no choice but to abandon orders due to delivery issues.
“It’s difficult for us to do business now. Because of the delivery date of the dyeing factory, I have pushed back the orders that we had already negotiated.” Mr. Zhao, the owner of a store in Shengze area, said helplessly, “Originally we wanted to After negotiating with them, the delivery time is 30 days, but the customer does not accept it and must complete it in 15 days. We really can’t accept it.”
It is no longer an exception to be afraid to accept an order, especially for some small and micro textile companies. The “hidden rules” of dyeing factories (for some companies with long cooperation time and large business volume, production can be arranged in advance for orders, and the order volume is The few customers are scheduled according to the normal schedule) which makes the bosses even more headaches. “This is no longer a problem that can be solved with an expedited stamp.” Merchandiser Xiao Wang also said, “Jumping in line is now an art form. Once discovered, you may be beaten. After all, everyone is keeping their eyes open now. If it’s too big, I’m afraid that my job will be delayed.” It is said that last month, merchandisers got into a fight at the dyeing factory over queue cutting, and the dyeing factory’s rush to order has been at a fever pitch.
In addition, the boss of a textile company in Wujiang issued a statement on WeChat Moments: Because the dyeing factory cannot ship goods, the Ministry of Foreign Trade will stop accepting orders starting from the 20th of this month! Customers are requested to take the time to place orders, and I wish everyone a prosperous business!
Queuing in dyeing factories is still common in recent times, which has led to manufacturers being more cautious in accepting orders. In the words of this boss: “Dyeing factories cannot ship goods, and orders are rushed and the quality is unstable. Rework is now common. Foreign trade The quality requirements for orders are higher, and you might lose money, so it’s better to take a rest early and spend the New Year with ease.”
If the prosperity of the dyeing factory is “favored” by the upstream market, then how will the weaving market perform after entering December?
“In fact, there were a lot of orders in the market in the early days, mostly for market goods, but now there are signs of slowing down. Our factory has received more orders in the recent period, and the requirements are also relatively high.” A salesperson from a dyeing factory in Wujiang area told The author said.
At present, the fabric market conditions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have eased compared with the previous period, and orders are mainly for replenishment and development. Among them, the domestic trade market performs better than foreign trade orders. “The order cycle for market goods this year is particularly long. This may be because downstream expectations for this year’s harsh winter are relatively strong, so cold-proof medium-thick fabrics continue to be popular in the market. In previous years, market goods usually come to an end in mid-November. This year Up to now, we still have old customers returning orders from time to time, so we are quite busy.” A cloth boss looking for the supply of nylon yarn in the Shengze market said, “Now we can’t get the nylon yarn above 300 tons on the market, so we are very nervous. .”
In the market, orders for medium-thick fabric manufacturers mainly based on nylon spinning are still sufficient. Therefore, water-jet manufacturers are more motivated to produce. The operating rate in Shengze and Changxing remains at about 80-90%, but the growth rate of warp knitting and circular knitting machines The operating rate of warp knitting machines in Changshu dropped from 90% to about 80% in the early period, and the operating rate of circular knitting machines in Shaoxing dropped from 70% to 60%; the overall decline was about 10%.
As the popularity of the weaving market gradually declines, some dyeing factories have also begun to consider the timing of the Spring Festival holiday this year. It is understood that the holidays for dyeing factories in Wujiang area will come later this year than in previous years. To borrow the words of an old dyeing factory master: “It is rare that the market is so good these days. Let it fly again.”a while! ”
