On the afternoon of December 21, Zhejiang Province reported the latest situation of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Zhejiang: Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Shaoxing, especially Shangyu, have all achieved community clearance.
Currently, Shaoxing is implementing a gradual unblocking process based on zoning and classification, and some factories have resumed production. Shaoxing is the gathering place for national printing, dyeing and textile trade. In 2020, the output of printed and dyed fabrics by Shaoxing’s regulated enterprises was about 21.5 billion meters, of which Keqiao District produced 19.15 billion meters, accounting for 89%, accounting for nearly 37% of the national output of 52.5 billion meters. %. Previously, due to the impact of epidemic control, most printing and dyeing factories were shut down, but many factories have gradually resumed production.
Many dyeing factories went bankrupt
It is understood that the printing and dyeing market in Keqiao District is currently busy, and most factories are liquidated. According to everyone’s feedback, printing and dyeing factories in Binhai District are currently working hard to catch up on orders. There is a large amount of gray fabric coming into the warehouse. In addition, the Spring Festival holiday will soon be approaching, and there is not much production time left. The combination of these two factors has caused explosions in most dyeing factories. warehouse.
In Shengze and surrounding areas, some dyeing factories have also experienced warehouse explosions, but some dyeing factories are relatively idle and the differentiation is serious. The orders received by the manufacturers that have been liquidated are relatively mixed, including winter clothing fabrics and autumn clothing fabrics, as well as domestic sales orders and foreign trade orders. For specific products, winter clothing fabrics such as polyester taffeta, nylon, and four-way stretch occupy the main market. SPH of simulated silk has also begun to increase, especially in Binhai printing and dyeing factories.
A salesperson from a local dyeing factory revealed: “The factory has been out of stock recently. There is so much work in the flat-cylinder workshop that we can’t finish it even during the Chinese New Year holidays, so now we no longer accept small orders of less than 10,000 meters.”
It can be seen from the above situation that the current order volume is still relatively abundant, and the goods are good in both spring, summer and autumn and winter fabrics. Although textile people say that this year’s market is over, judging from the current situation in dyeing factories, the “tail-up” market at the end of the year does exist.
Cold wave boosts sales of cold-proof clothing
Starting from last weekend, a cold wave hit. The lowest temperatures in Beijing, Tianjin, and Jinan all fell below minus 10°C, which was the first time since the beginning of winter. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning for heavy snowfall and a blue warning for cold wave, and the temperature dropped significantly in various places. This wave of cooling may be the strongest boost to sales of cold-proof clothing this year. And many southerners said they have not bought down jackets this year. With the cold wave coming and the Spring Festival approaching, the chances of buying a down jacket are increasing.
The epidemic has been cleared and confidence has returned
In addition, the elimination of the epidemic in Shaoxing will increase a lot of confidence in the entire market, especially the forecast for next year’s market may become a little more optimistic. Through our recent market research, many textile bosses are indeed optimistic about the market next year. “The second half of this year has been affected by production restrictions and suspensions, and there is news that such a situation will exist next year. If this is true, the market will be better next year.” A textile boss said.
Nowadays, the printing and dyeing market is slightly favorable, but there are also some difficulties, especially the production capacity before the Chinese New Year is seriously affected. At the end of every year, most factories will have workers return home early. Especially in the textile industry, which is a labor-intensive industry, the importance of workers is self-evident. This year, due to the epidemic, workers have significantly advanced their return time. .
