How do fabric companies survive?
Fabric companies are facing severe challenges!
Recently, the sales of polyester fabrics in the traditional market of China Textile City have declined, the sales of summer artificial silk fabrics made of polyester filaments as the main raw material have fallen, and the sales of summer thinner fabrics have dropped sharply; the sales of autumn medium-thick fabrics are still relatively limited, and the price and volume are stable. Fell slightly. Recently, the overall market volume of polyester imitation silk fabrics has declined compared with the previous period, and the transaction prices have been steadily and down.
Chapter01
In the recent market, the overall price of summer thin artificial silk grey fabrics has basically stabilized, with a small decline in some cases, and the promotion of individual stock-type sporadic batches has increased. The overall production capacity of autumn medium-thin, medium-thick and winter-thick grey fabrics increased slightly compared with the previous period. Due to the relatively balanced supply and demand of grey fabrics, the inventory is still relatively limited, the price of grey fabrics is basically stable, and the prices of individual batches are slightly reduced.
In the past few days, the sales of various summer-use chiffon, stretch chiffon, Orly yarn, summer spun silk, satin, stretch satin, Jia Li yarn, Shun crepe and other varieties mainly based on polyester FDY filament jet weaving have declined. Some small and medium-sized business outlets saw a decline in batches, and some small and medium-sized business households saw a drop in spot transactions in printing and dyeing polyester summer garment fabrics. In summer, the sales of thin polyester filament imitation silk grey fabrics dropped significantly, the output of grey fabrics decreased significantly, and the inventory backlog rate increased correspondingly.
Chapter02
In the recent market, the overall market transaction in various summer thinner polyester imitation silk fabrics has significantly decreased, and the price is basically stable. The overall market transaction of various medium and thin polyester imitation silk fabrics has declined slightly compared with the previous period, and the prices are basically stable, with some slight declines. .
In the past few days, although the spot transaction of polyester filament imitation silk fabrics has still held down prices, due to the partial decline in the operating rate of the weaving mills, the output of grey fabrics has dropped and the prices have basically stabilized, with a small decline in some cases. The sales in autumn fashion fabrics and jacket casual fabrics with polyester filaments as the main raw material showed an increasing trend, and the prices were basically stable. Due to the decline in the sales of summer thin fabrics, the overall market volume of autumn fabrics is limited, resulting in insufficient sales in the overall market.
Fabric companies are facing severe challenges
The prices of upstream raw materials continue to rise, and the prices of viscose fiber, polyester yarn, spandex, nylon, and dyes have all risen sharply. Among them, the price of 40D spandex has risen to more than 70,000 yuan/ton, and the increase rate has reached 86% this year, which is more than 150% higher than the same period last year.
However, fabric prices are falling. According to China Customs HS 8-digit statistics, from January to May, the average export unit price of my country's 8 major categories of printing and dyeing products was US$0.98/meter, a year-on-year decrease of 0.53%. Compared with the same period in 2019, its average export unit price growth rate was -4.81%.
One end raises the price, the other lowers the price. How to "survive in the cracks" has become a major test that fabric companies must face.
It is difficult for fabric factories to realize price transmission
Recently, the prices of textile raw materials have been raised several times. In addition to the rising prices of raw materials such as spandex, the prices of polyester filaments have also begun to fall first and then rise. Related platform monitoring shows that in the near future, the mainstream negotiated price of POY150D product market is 7850 yuan/ton, up 325 yuan/ton from the previous month; FDY150D price is 8025 yuan/ton, up 250 yuan/ton from the previous month; DTY150D price is 9,200 yuan/ton, month-on-month Increase 400 yuan/ton.
Facing the raging wave of raw material price increases, there are very few price increase letters issued by fabric companies. The relevant person in charge of the Suzhou Shengze Silk Chemical Fiber Index Monitoring and Publishing Platform pointed out that although the prices of raw materials have reproduced after the Spring Festival recently, there are still a few fabric companies in the market that have increased their prices.
Companies are recruiting to resist pressure
Although the textile industry in the first half of the year was "unevenly hot and cold" due to price increases, and fabric companies became "stunned birds", this round of price increases also gave birth to a positive side.
In the face of rising prices of raw materials, many fabric companies did not wait to die, but did their best to resist cost pressures through hard work and process improvements.
"The'pain' brought about by price increases will inevitably lead to an increase in the operating costs of fabric companies in a short period of time. Companies need to use multiple dimensions and multiple paths to weaken the adverse impact of price increases on the operational level. In this case At present, the most powerful measures for enterprises are to simultaneously carry out internal and external measures: internally, through technological improvement, continuous refinement and refinement, more material saving, energy saving, and consumption reduction; externally, they must form a common resistance and common Risk-taking mechanism.
Fabric companies should pay attention to changes in raw material prices at any time. When raw material prices are low, they can buy more goods for storage. In the off-season, the production plan can be reduced in time according to market demand. "Many companies in Keqiao have already adopted this kind of measures. Although they may not be able to completely hedge the impact, they will be alleviated."
