Cotton Prices Soared &Nbsp; Textile Machinery Industry Was Good.

　　 2010 China Keqiao International textile The Expo was held last week. The exhibition revealed two obvious messages. First, the textile industry in Shaoxing is undergoing collective transformation and upgrading, and new products and new technologies are constantly emerging. Two, most of the enterprises are afraid to receive large orders for shipment. Some enterprises have begun to sign contracts, that is, if they are not sure of the price, if they are in the delivery period, Raw material The price rose by 10%, and the contract price for foreign investors due to maturity also increased by 10%.

　　 Textile Expo became a new product. Release conference

During the exhibition, Wang Ya Jun, a Wuhan customer, bought a warp knitting machine from Zhejiang Wen Xiang textile machinery in the textile machinery exhibition area. Unlike traditional warp knitting machines, the warp knitting machine can produce 800 kilograms of "flat knitting machine" one day, equivalent to the output of 4 flat knitting machines, which fills the gap in China. "If people do not have me, they can play their competitive edge." Wen Xiang textile sales manager Zhang Weijun said.

In Jinhui textile clothing, sales manager Tan Renxiang pointed to a fabric called Hua Yao crepe, which is the latest chemical fiber product developed by the company. Its texture and feel are like silk products. It can hide many professionals, but its performance is better than that of silk products.

A large number of digital printing and dyeing products were displayed in the Ding Ting printing and dyeing exhibition hall. "Digital products are bright and green, and are popular in the domestic and international markets." Lu Zebing, the company's sales manager, said the company plans to increase two production lines by the end of the year.

China Textile City, famous for its chemical fiber products, is no longer satisfied with chemical fiber products, cotton, hemp, silk, bamboo fiber, last generation, copper and silk, acetate thread. For the first time, the exhibition will be divided into 7 small exhibition areas: jeans, leisure fabrics, functional fabrics and woolen fabrics. From India, we have come to the Textile Expo with the order of 18000 meters of silk fabric and placed the order to the international fabric sourcing center. He said he was visiting Keqiao for the first time and had been carrying goods from Hongkong before. Unexpectedly, there were also high-end fabrics in Keqiao.

Enterprises sign contract

Although the new technology is in the ascendant, many textile enterprises in Shaoxing are still under great pressure. At present, in Shaoxing, orders are becoming a difficult problem for textile enterprises.

Since the beginning of this year, the textile industry has gradually recovered, and is even regarded as "less effective than it has been in 10 years". However, the data show that Shaoxing's foreign trade exports are in a downward trend in the second half of this year. After a record high of 5-7 consecutive months in March, the volume of exports dropped in August, of which exports of textile and clothing products dropped by 15.5% compared with July.

"There are two main factors that affect the textile industry at present, one is that cotton prices continue to soar, the two is the pressure of RMB appreciation." Mao Zhengang, an analyst at Keqiao textile index compilation office, said. Cotton prices rose all the way from October last year, and the record has been more than 10 years since September. In September, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar continued to rise.

The Keqiao textile index, known as the Chinese textile "Dow Jones index", shows that in October 25th, the price index closed at 99.63 points, a 3 year high. In September, the foreign trade price index closed at 136.69 points, an increase of 9.33% over August.

At this Keqiao International Textile Fair, textile enterprises are extremely cautious about quotations and orders. "Since the quotation is not forward-looking, the validity period is first reduced from one month to one week, and now it is only two or three days, sometimes 3 times a day." Shi Jianhai, general manager of Shaoxing Yongjun Textile Co., Ltd., said that the price of the company's products was 2 times that of the beginning of the year, and it rose by about 1/3 in September alone. "The most important thing now is to communicate with customers, especially to explain the Chinese market to foreign customers."

Mao Zhen Gang said that many textile enterprises that he contacted had not ordered large orders or medium and long term orders, and many enterprises had even given up new orders temporarily. As a knitting enterprise, hesitated for a long time or gave up the 80 ton list from WAL-MART. "Big orders do not come out of two days in a day, plus profit margins are low. Once problems arise, they will probably lose everything. Nowadays, many Shaoxing textile enterprises receive short orders and small orders.

Some bargaining power companies even try to sign a living contract with foreign customers, that is, the price of raw materials will rise by 10% during the delivery period, and the contract price of foreign due payment will also increase by 10%.

Textile great county strides forward to textile strong county

In Shaoxing, China Keqiao textile index has played a good role in the barometer of the textile market. Under the circumstances of financial crisis and international barriers, Keqiao textile index has played a guiding role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of enterprises and avoiding risks.

It is reported that in order to reflect the development of textile industry in the light textile city and surrounding areas under the new situation, the 100 textile enterprise index, which is based on representative textile enterprises in the county of Shaoxing, is now in the preliminary stage of investigation. In the future, it will focus on the substantive work of enterprise investigation, product exploration, data collection, model establishment and so on.

"Next, we will complete the sampling work of seasonal textile products, representative samples and the latest fashion samples collection, which will help the textile enterprises to do better." China Keqiao textile index compilation office said.

At the same time, many textile enterprises are seeking new breakthroughs in order to further enhance their soft power. Bao Textile Holdings Limited has achieved a record high of 10 million meters per month through innovation. "We also use energy saving and emission reduction methods such as reclaimed water, rosin recycling, to shift the pressure of rising costs and make ourselves stronger." The head of the company said.

　　 Dusan, a ARAHNE company from Slovenia, displayed a design software at the Textile Expo and sold 3 sets on the first day. He called Keqiao a potential development area. He plans to share with other companies the product development mode, marketing mode, brand building strategy and production management concept of European textile enterprises.
