The Clothing Sales Market Is At The Forefront Of The Peak Season, And The Textile Market Has "Heard The Wind".

Through the statistical analysis of the total retail sales volume of clothing commodities in recent years, we found that the clothing market began to improve from August to December. That is to say, we are now heading towards the peak season of clothing market. For the textile industry upstream of clothing, the sale of clothing will surely ignite the textile market.

In the peak season of textile market, clothing will be more than two months ahead of schedule. Our textile people should be in preparation for orders. But recently, the world is not at peace. The US interest rate cuts, tariffs on China and the RMB exchange rate breaking "7" and other important news not only affect market confidence, but also increase a lot of uncertainty.

Weak content, declining orders, shrinking profits

The weakness of the textile market this year is not to be questioned. The domestic market has been playing a very poor role in the whole year under the combination of overcapacity in textile production and the shrinking demand in the clothing market.

According to a weaving factory specializing in slub cloth, they are mainly engaged in the domestic market. The varieties produced are relatively small and special, so their customer groups are relatively fixed, and they still have the right to speak on the fabric price. Although the profit per meter of their fabrics is not much different from that of last year, the total volume of orders this year has dropped by 20%, that is, the total profit will drop by 20%.

A company engaged in functional fabric trade feedback to us, they do not have a weaving factory, and their pressure burdens are not so great in the off-season. However, the recent reduction in orders is more severe, reaching over 20%, and the types of orders are also biased towards lower price fabrics. For example, our recently sold mechanical projectile fabrics are similar to four rounds of elasticity, but the prices are much lower. There are too many bad factors in the periphery this year, causing customers and traders to wait and see. The lack of confidence in the whole industry chain and dare not rush ahead, the order on hand can only be maintained until the end of August.

At present, the focus of the domestic market is not on orders, but on proofing. A supplier specializing in polyester and cotton products complained to us that they had been making proofs recently, and the number was a bit alarming, reaching more than 200, but even if there were so many people, there was not an order yet. A merchandiser who often runs and collate the factory also introduces to us that he has recently gone to a complex factory, and has made many orders in this factory in the past year, but this year is almost half a year, and there is not a decent order. Now they can't lift up in the compound factory. Even if the proofing is slow or broken, they will be ashamed to blame them. But the customer request, boss arrangement can only stick to the scalp, lick the face, eager to have compound orders, let me be able to straighten the waist.

Loose foreign trade, orders issued, profits improved

The textile foreign trade market, once the United States imposed tariffs and the global economic downturn last year, was once short of confidence and reduced orders. However, with the construction of "one belt and one road" in China, the other international markets, especially Southeast Asia and the global market, have been greatly expanded. The foreign trade market is getting out of the shadow and is improving. The most direct expression is the number of orders and the number of orders.

According to an old knitting factory in Wujiang, they are mainly foreign trade, and the total order is fairly good. Now we are doing more F polyester taffeta series, although the total orders have declined, but profits can still be guaranteed. It should be said that the most popular products in recent foreign trade should be elastic fabrics. Recently, their orders for T400 fabrics are constantly increasing, and their profits are much higher than those of conventional varieties. Another weaving factory also realized that T400 was on the market, but the stock in the factory was at a high level. It was worried that the market would be in a flash and could not be cleaned up in time.

Another supplier, who has been engaged in foreign trade for many years, tells us that their recent orders for foreign trade have improved markedly. Orders for more than 50 thousand meters have been issued in the next few days, and orders for more than 100 thousand meters are being sought by customers. At present, the orders are basically made of four side shells, and are mainly of high weight and relatively thick varieties. The products are mainly made in trousers of autumn and winter. Customers are required to check products more carefully. Fortunately, profits can still be achieved, and 15% is guaranteed.

Recently, the elastic fabric in the foreign trade market is in a popular position. Similar to the "King glory", "T800", this kind of distinctive and gimmick elastic varieties attract more customers. Although the selling price is not high, the profit is good. At present, there are more enquiries and sampling.

At the forefront of the clothing sales season at the end of the year, the performance of textile foreign trade market is not consistent. Due to the supply and demand problem, the domestic market is in a situation of "oversupply" for a long time. It is hard to get rid of a "upward trend" in the off-season.

At present, the performance of the whole market is more conservative. In the same period of last year, there were already many autumn and winter fabrics, but now many suppliers still stay in the order stage, such as proofing and waiting. The foreign trade market began to improve after adapting to the changes in the international situation, especially the arrival of elastic fabric orders, and gradually opened up the situation, making sales and profits better.
