I can’t imagine or understand why the price of raw materials is still rising like this every day half way through December. Raw materials are going crazy this week. Not to mention the price is rising every day. The increase of 100 yuan is not enough. Now it will increase by 200 yuan. Some manufacturers’ best-selling specifications even increase by 300-500 yuan.
According to previous years, December is already the off-season for fabrics, but this year the fabric market is full of chaos. Now it is mid-December, but it is still “buy, buy, buy”, “up, up, up”, “catch up,… The rhythm of “rush, rush” is really tiring and exhausting.
In November, the dyeing factory went out of stock and dyeing fees rose. The experience of the textile workers rushing to rush for goods is still vivid in their minds. Now more than a month has passed. In addition to the surge in raw materials in the fabric market, are textile workers still doing well in making and shipping goods?
Stretch fabrics are still popular, and there is no negotiation for 20-day shipments
The elastic fabric business is booming in November, and it takes 20-30 days for dyeing factories to place orders. Although it is now December, the orders for elastic fabrics have not changed significantly. It takes at least 20 days from warehousing to shipment. Generally speaking, the order situation is still busy. At present, 75D and 100D four-sided pop-up products using DTY as raw materials are the most popular, and the colors are still mainly dark. Xiao Wu, who makes four-sided bombs, told the author that there have been more orders in the factory since October, and both domestic and export sales are very good. In the recent stage, small tank samples have been started for next year’s orders. Judging from the situation of the samples, there will be no shortage of orders next year. However, although dyeing fees have not changed much recently, the cost will be much higher if the quantity of large quantities is small. In the past, there was a small tank fee for a few hundred meters, but now all tanks are packaged. The cost of packaged tanks will be much higher than that of small tanks. If the order is small, the cost will be much higher.
A lot of ready-made fabrics are shipped, and the cost pressure is high
At present, gray fabrics continue to rise and dyeing costs are high. For companies that sell spot goods, if they have stocked up before, will the operating pressure be lighter? With this question in mind, the author visited a factory in Shengze that sells chiffon. When the author asked about the recent market situation, salesman Xiao Zhang said frankly, “October to the Chinese New Year are the busiest time of the year for the company. Although there are stocks in stock, because the company has many product specifications, each specification has dozens of colors. Therefore, each variety and color only costs about a thousand meters. Now customers are getting more goods, and this stock is simply not enough. Last month, we dyed more than 800,000 meters of goods. Now the price of gray cloth has increased by several cents. In addition, the dyeing fees are going up every now and then, which is really a bit annoying. In addition to the cost increase, what is even more troublesome is that the dyeing factories are now busy and the goods cannot be shipped out, and the goods coming out have many defects. For us For those who make spot orders, defects must be removed, which directly leads to a high rate of defective products and indirectly significantly increases the cost of fabrics. Such abnormal market conditions do more harm than good to the company.”
Orders for cold-proof fabrics in autumn and winter decreased, and the flat vat business weakened significantly
During this period, judging from the production situation of the dyeing factory, there are obviously not as many orders for flat cylinders as there are for inclined tubes, and gray fabrics can basically be shipped within 5-7 days of entering the warehouse. The decrease in orders for autumn and winter filament fabrics such as polyester taffeta and imitation memory is one of the reasons. Recently, taking polyester taffeta as an example, shipments of specifications such as 210T and 290T have been concentrated, but the shipment volume has declined compared with the previous period. In addition, the market of nylon fabrics, which was very popular some time ago, has also become somewhat differentiated in recent times. The current production of Nisi Fang, which is produced to order, is relatively stable, but the market price of products has dropped a bit obviously.
Selling cloth is difficult. I finally got through the busy November, but I still have to struggle in this “chaotic” December. As the Spring Festival approaches, textile workers who have finished shipping goods will probably have to concentrate on collecting the payment. Now there is only more than one month left in the Year of the Monkey. Ticket sales for the Spring Festival have recently started, and some migrant workers who are working outside are probably already feeling anxious. It’s time to figure out the time to go home! The textile workers who have worked hard for a year will work harder to produce good goods, collect good money, and live a good year with peace of mind.
