Around the Spring Festival today, the market is full of hope for the “Gold, Three, Silver and Four” in the first half of the year, and feels that this peak season market will definitely be better than the September 2020 , October. Now that May is halfway through, the market’s answer sheet has been completed, but the results are not satisfactory to everyone. Except for a week or so after the Spring Festival, the performance of the textile market shows some signs of the peak season. After that, the trend of the peak season will completely slide into the off-season. .
By analyzing the trend of the start-up rate of textile clusters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in recent years, it can also reflect the changes in the off-peak and peak seasons. On the one hand, the current high level of loom operation rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is in early April, but even the peak is far from the normal year in 2019; on the other hand, the peak operation rate of looms is sustainable. In 2019, the operation rate is basically within one month. Maintaining a relatively high level, but in just one week this year, the start-up rate of individual textile clusters has begun to turn downward. So far, it has been falling for a month.
As the weather gets hotter, the off-season atmosphere Will become more and more intense, how should textile companies survive the off-season and usher in the peak season in the second half of the year? Some textile companies have begun to plan for the market in September and October. Environmentally friendly recycled fabrics, which were ignored last year, are becoming popular again.
Apply for GRS certificate and look forward to the market in September and October
According to a textile trader According to reports, they have received a lot of imitation silk orders since the second half of last year. These orders have one characteristic, they are all one or two thousand meters of environmentally friendly recycled fabrics. There are no ready-made gray fabrics in many markets, so you need to find a weaving factory with relevant qualifications to customize them. Because the meter is not large, the cost of custom weaving is often high, but the profit of these fabrics is also relatively high, which can easily reach more than 20%-30%.
Environmentally friendly recycled fabrics have become homogeneous in the market It is definitely a way out for modernized textile companies. Even the imitation silk products from “bad streets” can achieve such high profits with the support of environmental protection and recycling. But if you want to gain recognition in the market, especially in the European and American markets, you cannot do without the GRS certificate.
According to the person in charge of a weaving factory, they are making regular fabric products. This year will be better only for a while after the new year. The rest is similar to last year. But the only difference is that they have recently applied for a GRS certificate. The current application fee adds up to about 40,000 yuan a year, and you can get it in about 3-4 months. It’s not because we have customers in this area now, but because we want to have different products on hand during the peak season in the second half of the year, which will also make us more competitive.
The cost of applying for a GRS certificate is decreasing year by year. The cost of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan is nothing to the factory, but it has opened up a market. Especially since the market in the first half of this year was not good, many textile people are now focusing on the second half of the year. How to stand out in the market in the second half of the year must be a little different.
The trend of environmentally friendly fabrics has revived, and the market will gain momentum in the second half of the year
Because the EU government has ordered , bans textile waste and requires member states to carry out specialized textile recycling from 2025 to improve the reuse rate of textile fabrics. Therefore, the current main markets for environmentally friendly recycled fabrics are in European and American countries. However, due to the impact of the epidemic last year, European and American countries were in poor condition. Brand clothing companies from Europe and the United States also had a hard time. There were endless news about closing stores and cutting expenses. Under such circumstances, the orders for recycled fabrics that European and American clothing brands can place are naturally very limited.
Because of this, environmentally friendly recycled fabrics have grown in popularity last year, especially It was almost forgotten by the market in the first half of the year. However, the environmentally friendly recycling journey of these clothing brands does not end here. Especially as the global epidemic is gradually brought under control, environmentally friendly recycled fabrics will continue to return to the market.
Zara: Starting from the 2016 autumn and winter series, we have specially made an environmentally friendly line called Join Life; in the summer of 2017, we added recycled linen fabrics and so on.
H&M: By 2030, we will use 100% recycled or other sustainably sourced materials.
Adidas: Full use of recycled polyester fiber in 2024!
Nike, Burberry, Gap and other brands have joined the circular fashion plan, aiming to reduce waste in the global fashion industry by recycling raw materials and products!
According to a GRS certification agency staff member , GRS certified companies began to increase significantly from the second half of last year. Although the overseas epidemic situation has not substantially improved in the first half of this year, the periodic improvement in the second half of last year brought unforgettable heat to the textile market. Will the textile market improve again in the second half of this year?Come on, it seems to be a high probability event now. After all, there was no vaccine in the world last year, and this year, all countries around the world are in full swing to vaccinate. The epidemic control situation in the second half of the year will be better than last year, which means that the textile market will be better in the second half of the year. Performance may be better than last year.
The market conditions in the first half of the year have left many textile people at a loss. The peak season is not busy and the off-season is early. This is the feeling of most people. However, some companies have quietly deployed recycled fabrics. After all, environmentally friendly recycling orders basically come from brand clothing companies. There will be no shortage of orders from such large companies, and profits are still guaranteed.
