Based on the statistical analysis of the total retail sales of clothing products in recent years, it is found that the clothing market starts to improve from August to December and reaches the peak of the whole year.

In other words, we are going to the peak season of the clothing market. For the textile industry in the upper reaches of the clothing industry, the hot sales of clothing will surely ignite the textile market.

The peak season of the textile market will be more than two months ahead of the clothing. Our textile people should now be in the preparation before the order.

But recently, the world has not been peaceful. Major news such as US interest rate cut, additional tariffs on China and RMB exchange rate breaking "7" not only affect market confidence, but also increase a lot of uncertainty.

Weak content, declining orders and shrinking profits

The weakness of the textile market this year is not to be doubted. The performance of the domestic trade market in the whole year is very flat under the double attack of the oversupply of textile production capacity and the shrinking demand of the clothing market.

According to a weaving factory specializing in slub fabric, they are mainly engaged in the domestic trade market. The varieties they produce are relatively small and special, so their customer groups are relatively fixed, and they also have a say in the fabric price.

Although the profit per meter of fabric under their control is similar to that of last year, the total order volume of this year has declined by 20%, that is to say, the total profit will also decline by 20%.

A company engaged in functional fabric trade feedback to us that they do not have a weaving factory, and their pressure burden before the off-season is not so heavy.

However, the recent order reduction is quite severe, reaching more than 20%, and the types of orders are also biased towards the fabrics with lower prices. For example, the mechanical elastic fabrics that we have been selling hot recently have elasticity similar to the four-sided elastic fabrics, but the price is relatively low.

This year, there are too many negative factors on the periphery, which leads to the fact that customers and traders are waiting. The whole industry chain is lack of confidence and dare not venture forward. The orders we have on hand can only be maintained until the end of August.

At present, the focus of domestic market is not on orders, but on proofing.

A supplier specializing in polyester and cotton products complained to us that they have been proofing recently. The number is a little surprising, reaching more than 200. But even if there are so many proofers, no order has come down since the samples were sent.

A merchandiser who often runs after finishing and processing factory also introduced to us. He recently went to a compound factory for proofing. He made a lot of orders in this factory in the past years, but this year, he has been nearly half a year and has not had a decent order.

Now I can't lift my head when I go to the compound factory. Even if the proofing is slow or broken, I'm sorry to blame them. But the customer's requirements and the boss's arrangement can only be made with a stiff head and a licking of the face. I am eager to have a compound order, so that I can stand up straight.

Loose foreign trade, orders issued, profits improved

Under the influence of the tariff imposed by the United States last year and the sluggish global economy, the textile foreign trade market once lacked confidence and contracted 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 gradually came out of the shadow and began to improve. The most direct performance is that the number of orders and the number of individual orders increased significantly.

According to an old brand weaving factory in Wujiang area, they are mainly engaged in foreign trade at present, and the overall order situation is fairly good. Now we are doing more f polyester taff cotton sense series. Although the total order volume has declined, the profit can still be guaranteed. It should be said that the most popular products in foreign trade recently are elastic fabrics. Recently, their T400 fabric orders have been on the rise, and their profits are much higher than those of conventional varieties.

Another weaving factory also realized that T400 was popular, but the stock in the factory was at a high level. It was worried that the stock could not be cleared in time due to the fleeting market. It could only go down at a low price. At present, the profit per meter of cloth is only a few cents.

Another supplier who has been engaged in foreign trade for many years introduced to us that their recent foreign trade orders have improved significantly. Orders of more than 50000 meters have been placed for several days in a row. Moreover, orders of more than 100000 meters are competing with customers, and the possibility of getting them is quite high.

At present, the order varieties are basically four-way bullets, and they are mainly of high weight and thick varieties. This kind of products are mainly used for autumn and winter pants. Customers require that each order with high quality be inspected. Fortunately, the profit is OK, and 15% is still guaranteed.

Recently, the elastic fabrics in the foreign trade market are in a popular position, and the characteristics like "King glory" and "T800" and the attractive elastic varieties with gimmicks are more attractive to customers. Although the sales price is not high, the profit is still good. At present, there are many inquiries and samples.

At the forefront of the clothing sales season at the end of the year, the domestic and foreign textile market performance is not consistent.

Due to the problem of supply and demand, the domestic market has been in the situation of "supply exceeds demand" for a long time, so it is difficult to get rid of the off-season and walk out of a "counter trend upward" road.

At present, the whole market performance is relatively conservative. In the same period of previous years, there have been many autumn and winter fabrics released, but now many suppliers are still in the stage of continuous proofing, bitter and other orders.

The foreign trade market began to improve after adapting to the changes in the international situation, especially the arrival of elastic fabric orders, which gradually opened up the situation, making the sales volume and profits better together.
