The traditional peak season is not optimistic, and the short-term market fabric prices are worrying
To escape the off-season, market products are indispensable
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the textile market, which should have been in the traditional peak season, has not been optimistic. At the beginning of the resumption of work in the textile industry, textile orders were not placed smoothly due to the shortage of workers in various companies. However, as the operating rate gradually recovered, the textile industry began to recover. There has been a wave of concentrated releases of backlogged orders, and a large number of factories that have not fully restored their production capacity are facing production conditions such as liquidation, congestion, and queues. However, this wave of market conditions came and went quickly. In just half a month, the textile market gradually entered a calm state.
“From the beginning of the year until now, orders have been mainly for orders, and there are basically no orders for market goods,” said a person in charge of a weaving factory… However, the small number of orders and the wide variety of goods make it difficult to heat up the market and promote the peak season. . The lack of market goods is an urgent problem in the current textile market.
The booming textile market is actually an illusion. If the epidemic had not squeezed production time, this wave of orders would have just flowed through. Now this illusion is about to dissipate, and it seems inevitable that the textile market will return to the off-season again. Is there a lack of orders in the market? This is of course certain, especially for “market goods” orders. If the market wants to become popular again, it must be supported by a huge number of “market goods”.
The spot market is subject to the flow of people
Anyone who makes textiles knows that fabric orders are often divided into “order goods” and “market goods”. Generally, customers do not need to meet each other to order goods. Only email and express delivery are needed to complete the order operation. But market products are different, because this type of fabric is basically sold in spot stores, and customers need to find, compare, inspect, purchase, etc. on site, so spot markets are often places with the largest flow of people.
However, due to the pneumonia epidemic, these places have become key control areas, and the flow of people has been restricted, so fabric sales have naturally been affected. Moreover, the requirements for resumption of work and market are more stringent, and the resumption time is often later. The spot market, which used to be bustling with people and bustling with people, is now either closed or empty.
The market fabric situation is worrying in the short term
The spot market is in a bleak situation, and orders for market fabrics are naturally unlikely to be much better. “In previous years, one to two million meters of Nisi spinning orders have been placed in March and April, but so far this year we have hardly done anything,” a trader said, shaking his head. Fabrics such as nylon and polyester taffeta have always been the main products in the market. Although their stamina has been slightly lacking in the past year or two, their “status in the world” is still difficult to shake. However, recently many textile companies that mainly focus on this type of textile have to face a situation where they have no work to do or their orders are cancelled.
In 2019, the entire market was dominated by stretch fabrics such as 4-way stretch and T400, but this momentum obviously did not continue into 2020. I visited various printing and dyeing factories, large and small, and found that such orders were extremely rare. And because the spot market is under control, sales are blocked, inventory is overstocked, and funds are lacking, there may not be many spot manufacturers placing orders to replenish goods in the short term.
But we don’t need to be overly pessimistic about the future textile market. After all, clothing, as a rigid necessity, will only be delayed but not disappear. In particular, the market fabrics in the spot market have large quantities, various colors, and affordable prices. They have always had a very large clothing customer group. Not only textile people cannot do without this market, but also clothing companies and clothing consumers.
