The sales of cotton fabrics in the second half of 2020 are flat and weak

Standard Group Textile Industry News-Recently, the overall market of pure cotton yarn is still flat, the price is basically stable, and some parts are steadily shrinking. The quotation of pure cotton yarn market in Xiaoshao and Shaoxing areas was basically stable, with some steady declines, and the transaction was still flat. The epidemic and Sino-U.S. relations are two directional factors. Most other factors are basically factors that only affect the range volatility. The epidemic has a trend of normalization. Sino-U.S. relations are unlikely to improve in the short term. The downward pressure on the global economy remains unabated, and the reduction in consumption is superimposed. As consumption is downgraded, cotton will inevitably be replaced by low-priced chemical fiber. The back-end gauze orders are insufficient, the production capacity is relatively surplus, the sales are difficult, the prices are declining, and the conventional varieties generally lose money. Cotton prices have risen, yarn prices have not kept up, cotton yarn production losses have increased, and cotton purchases have been suspended. As a substitute for cotton, the price of polyester staple fiber rises with oil, and the price of viscose staple fiber rises. The price difference between cotton and its substitutes remained high and the consumption of textiles was downgraded, and the purchase of cotton substitutes continued to increase. In the recent market, the layout of autumn medium and thick pure cotton mainly for the production of school uniforms, work clothes, and professional clothes is relatively more active. The cotton yarn 20S×16S, 128×60 specifications pad dyed yarn card, and the pure cotton yarn 16S×12S , 108×56 specification pad dyeing yarn card, pure cotton yarn 10S×10S, 72×40 specification pad dyeing yarn card, pure cotton yarn 20S×20S, 100×55 specification 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 lint , Pure cotton yarn 24S×12S specification dyed cotton lint and other varieties are welcomed by domestic schools, industrial and mining enterprises, hotels and hotels to make school uniforms, work clothes, and occupational clothes. Bulk orders have partially emerged, and orders from counterpart cloth companies and large-scale business outlets have been accepted to the current small and medium-sized stores, which has become a new bright spot for regular off-market marketing. In the past few days, a variety of pure cotton pad dyed yarn cards woven with pure cotton carded yarn 10S×10S and 20S×20S are targeted at cloth companies and large-scale business stores. Order a variety of colors and collocation, and order a variety of ginning. Some batches of denim with specifications of pure cotton carded yarn 7S×7S, 10S×10S, 10S+8S×8S have been proofed by counterpart customers, and they have begun batch processing or batch processing in printing and dyeing factories. The prices of conventional pure cotton fabrics have steadily increased slightly, the prices of some grey fabrics with more stocks have partially softened, and the demand has increased partially, and the marketing has been sluggish. Pure cotton yarn 12S-20S unconventional fabrics and fabrics with special specifications. Due to the style renovation of jacquard and printed patterns and textures, the local orders of counterpart customers have increased, and the sales of various fancy varieties have been active. Because many large-scale operating stores have new fancy fabrics on the market, but the spot market is still relatively limited, the price of small batch orders is still relatively stable, some are stable and soft, and there are still discounts for large quantities. New pure cotton fabrics in autumn and winter follow the demand The small increase in local sales, while the marketing is smooth.
