Recently, the textile market, which has been silent for more than half a year, has gradually become lively. News on the price increase of raw materials and the recovery of the market has been flying in the circle of friends and WeChat public accounts. Recently, when visiting several market operators in China Textile City, everyone said that since late September, the market has indeed recovered, but this "warmness" has not touched the entire category, and the recovery is obviously aimed at the market. Customers' winter clothing fabrics such as down and flannel, at the same time, as the "Double Eleven" approached, the salesrooms, mainly e-commerce customers, also ushered in the peak sales season.
"Zhilong Textile" is an old store in the grey cloth market. It has been engaged in grey cloth trade for more than 20 years. Foreign trade accounts for 60% and domestic sales account for 40%. At present, there are more than 1,000 grey cloth varieties in the store. "Recently, there are indeed more customers who come to the store for sampling and cutting samples than before. There are 70 or 80 people in one day." said Hong Xiujiang, the person in charge of the store. Compared with the downturn in business, the passenger flow has doubled. "Recently, home textiles, down and flannel fabrics have recovered significantly." He said that in terms of raw materials, the prices of spandex and cool silk cotton also rose by about 10%. The export market is also gradually "moving". The obvious feeling is that the varieties of customers inquiring and supplementing samples are increasing. However, it is still not as busy as last year.
The "Shengshi Tianyu" store in the United Market is a bit busy these days. "Business has been very good recently, and both e-commerce and brand customers have replenishment orders." Shi Qiuya, the store manager, said with a smile. "Shengshi Tianyu" is a store specializing in down fabrics in China Textile City. It provides fabrics for Bosideng, Ailaiyi and other brands throughout the year. With the impact of the epidemic this year, Shi Qiuya decided to extend customers from offline to online, relying on the previous supply chain Constantly adjusting, "Shengshi Tianyu" seized this wave of quotations and blossomed online and offline. "However, due to the impact of the epidemic, offline business has declined significantly this year. There is still a gap between the market this year and last year as a whole."
The hotness of down fabrics has obvious seasonality. For the stores of other categories, this round of warming is not a deep feeling. "Jinlongda Textile" is a store in the grey fabric market that mainly sells artificial silk. The head of the store, Mei Yadong, said that he has not experienced significant growth recently. "We mainly make differentiated mid-to-high-end products, and the business is relatively stable." Mei Yadong said that this year customer orders are relatively small. In the past, large orders of several hundred thousand meters were rarely received this year. There are small orders for thousands of meters, but orders and rebates have been coming one after another.
What is the market, freight is the most intuitive "barometer". It is understood that from January to September this year, China Textile City's joint consignment volume increased by 3.37% year-on-year, and the cargo turnover volume increased by 8.09% year-on-year. However, many business operators said that even if shipments are increasing, profit margins are constantly being compressed due to factors such as raw material prices and exchange rate fluctuations.
