The textile industry has millions of orders in spring and summer, and the industry's recovery is obvious

Since last year, many textile people have realized that the textile market is gradually weakening, and also predicted that the market in 2020 may be worse than that in 2019. But who knew that the epidemic that started raging around the world at the beginning of the year pushed the entire textile market directly to the bottom, and all textile people really felt the off-season market this year. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the“answer sheet”It has basically been able to present the overall situation of this year. According to the survey, the overall operating status of the vast majority of textile enterprises is far worse than in previous years.‍Textile enterprise 1: The sales cannot be compared with previous years, and the proportion of decline can no longer be calculated, and the profit has decreased by about 20%. Textile enterprise 2: The sales volume has decreased a lot this year. There is no movement in foreign trade until now, and it is supported by domestic trade orders. Profits are also poor. Textile Enterprise 3: Orders have decreased by more than 50% this year. Profits have decreased even more, and now only a few cents can be made per millet, and some even have to lose a little to sell. Textile enterprise 4: Sales have decreased by 30%-40%, and basically there is no profit. Textile enterprise 5: The order volume has decreased by 30%, and the profit has also decreased by about 30%. Sales fell by more than 30%, and profits hovered around the profit and loss line, which is basically the production status of most textile enterprises this year. And one of the most obvious features of the worsening market is the lack of peak season. Because of the different varieties of fabrics produced, the peak seasons of various textile enterprises in previous years are basically in March and April in the first half of the year, and July, August, September and October in the second half of the year. However, these months of this year have passed, but many textile enterprises have not felt the substantial increase in orders, the operating rate of factories is still not as good as in previous years, and the inventory of grey fabrics is backlogged. Recently, there have been many macro events, such as the US election, the second outbreak of the European epidemic, and major progress in vaccines, etc. These events have more or less affected the textile market. Under all kinds of good and bad news, the textile market is quietly improving. Spring and summer fabrics have entered the production season, and orders from textile companies have begun to increase: November and December have always been the production preparation season for spring and summer fabrics in the coming year, and this year is the same. Recently, orders for various spring and summer fabrics have begun to appear in the textile market. According to the person in charge of a textile enterprise, they now have a printing copy of 70,000 meters in progress, which will be issued in the future, which is continuous. Recently, more conventional silk imitation products such as chiffon have been made. Another textile company has the same situation. At present, there are about 1 million meters of four-way elastics being made, which may be used in spring and summer clothing and autumn and winter clothing. The increase in orders for spring and summer fabrics is both reasonable and unexpected. Although it is the stocking season for spring and summer fabrics, the foreign trade market has not fully recovered due to the epidemic. However, with the accumulation of experience in anti-epidemic work in overseas countries and the fact that various vaccines will be put into use in the future, the market's panic in the face of the epidemic is much less than before. Especially after March next year, the vaccine will be officially put into use, and the global economy will be officially fully recovered at that time. The sales prospects of spring and summer clothing will be much better than this year's clothing sales season, so spring and summer fabrics will be stocked a few years ago. Also reasonable. The rising crude oil and raw material prices have begun to appear in the market: the rise in crude oil prices has driven changes in the prices of textile raw materials, thereby stimulating market stocking. It has always been a very common operation in the market, but this phenomenon is very rare this year. The main reason is that the crude oil market has repeatedly risen and fallen, and the price of raw materials is like a roller coaster. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to stock up, buy and use as needed, which has become the operating principle of most weaving enterprises. However, this phenomenon has been gradually broken recently, and the rules for purchasing raw materials have begun to move closer to previous years. According to the person in charge of a weaving enterprise, the raw materials have not been hoarded for most of this year, for fear of hoarding them and depreciating them. But recently, I have the idea of ​​preparing raw materials, and I plan to stock up the amount for 2-3 months, which can be used for a month after the year. Another textile company has the same idea. They plan to stock up on dozens of tons, which is probably enough for one or two months. The changes in the production and sales of polyester raw materials in recent days are also evident, especially on October 10, the production and sales of mainstream large factories were 200%-300%, and some factories even reached an astonishing 600%. Some other interviewed companies also have the idea of ​​stocking, but they can only stock a small amount due to the liquidity, but in general, the price of raw materials has risen this time, and the weaving market no longer waits and starts to buy raw materials decisively. Of course, this change is inseparable from the habit of weaving enterprises to reserve raw materials years ago, but more importantly, the confidence of weaving enterprises in the market outlook is gradually recovering. Recently, some proofing, development samples, quotations, etc. have begun to increase in the market. Although it is difficult to see obvious changes in the short term, the spring and summer market after the year, especially after the epidemic is put into use, will inevitably recover to a large extent.
