In the second half of 2020, the sales of pure cotton fabrics are flat and weak

Textile industry information-Recently, the overall market of pure cotton yarn is still flat, the price is basically stable, and some parts are stable and shrinking. The market quotation of pure cotton yarn in Xiaoshao area is basically stable, and the transaction is still flat. The epidemic and Sino-US relations are two directional factors. Most of the other factors are factors that only affect range fluctuations. The epidemic has a trend of normalization. It is difficult for Sino-US relations to improve in the short term. The downward pressure on the global economy is not reduced, and the consumption reduction is superimposed. Consumption downgrades, and cotton is inevitably replaced by low-priced chemical fibers. The back-end gauze orders are insufficient, the production capacity is relatively excess, the sales are difficult, the prices have fallen, and the conventional varieties generally suffer losses. Cotton prices rose, yarn prices did not follow, cotton yarn production losses increased, and cotton purchases were suspended. Cotton substitutes, polyester staple fiber prices rose with oil, viscose staple fiber prices rose. The price difference between cotton and its substitutes remained high, and textile consumption was downgraded, and the purchase of cotton substitutes continued to increase. In the recent market, the autumn medium-thick pure cotton layout mainly for the production of school uniforms, tooling, and business wear has been relatively active.×16S, 128×60 gauge pad dyed yarn card, pure cotton yarn 16S×12S, 108×56 gauge pad dyed yarn card, pure cotton yarn 10S×10S, 72×40 gauge pad dyed yarn card, pure cotton yarn 20S×20S, 100×55 gauge pad dyeing yarn, pure cotton yarn 21S/2×10S, 72×42 gauge pad-dyed air-jet canvas, pure cotton yarn 10S×10S, 70×42 gauge pad dyed canvas, pure cotton yarn 10S×16S, 70×53 gauge pad dyed canvas and pure cotton yarn 24S×12S specification dyed cotton lint, pure cotton yarn 24S×12S specifications dyed cotton velvet and other varieties are very popular in domestic schools, industrial and mining enterprises, hotels and hotels to make school uniforms, tooling, and professional wear. Some front-store-back-factory cloth companies and large-scale operating stores have partially emerged for small and medium-sized orders. Cloth industry companies and large-scale operating stores have received orders from small to medium-sized stores, which have become a new bright spot in conventional off-market marketing. Over the past few days, with pure cotton carded yarn 10S×10S, 20S×20S woven cotton pad dyeing gauze of various varieties is received by counterpart fabric companies and large-scale operating stores in small and medium batches. There are not only pad dyeing, multi-colored and various matching orders, but also ginning varieties. one. With pure cotton carded yarn 7S×7S, 10S×10S, 10S+8S×Some batches of denim fabrics of 8S and other specifications have been confirmed by counterpart customers, and they have begun to be processed in batches or batches in printing and dyeing factories. The prices of conventional pure cotton fabrics were partially stable and rose slightly, while the prices of some grey fabrics with more inventory were partially softened, the demand was partially increased, and the marketing was still active. Pure cotton yarn 12S—20S unconventional fabrics and fabrics of special specifications, due to the style renovation of jacquard and printed patterns and textures, led to an increase in the number of orders placed by target merchants, and the sales of various fancy varieties are now vigorous. Each operating store has new fancy fabrics on the market, but the stock market volume is still relatively limited, the price of small batch orders is still relatively stable, partially stable and soft, and there are still discounts for large quantities. Marketing is smooth.
