Market: wholesale clothing price per day

"The wool we entered today has risen from 60 yuan per meter yesterday to 70 yuan."

Huang Xueming, general manager of Yongan beauty, complained yesterday.

Reporters learned from a number of clothing enterprises, the wholesale price of winter clothing on average rose 5% over the same period, the average retail channel rose 10%.

Yesterday, reporters visited several shopping malls in Guangzhou, and saw cotton clothing, down coats, thermal underwear, woollen clothes and so on. Prices rose by an average of two or three.

Such as a set of cotton thermal underwear, last year sold 80 yuan to 120 yuan, the same product this year, from 100 yuan to 160 yuan, or about 20%.

And in the upper and lower nine, the reporter saw a number of clothing stores still play 20 yuan a dress, 50 yuan a down jacket brand.

Relevant personage introduces, "this year a lot of garment enterprises fail, the bottom goods have to sell at a low price."

Zhang boss, who is doing trade wholesale business in the cotton wholesale market, told reporters that the wholesale price of this year was obviously higher than that of last year because of the rising price of wool yarn. Last year, the sweater of 20 yuan was added at least 5~6 yuan a year.

Slightly better sweater this year wholesale price will be 36~37 yuan, last year the price is 28~29 yuan / piece.

"Now the price of wool is rising every day. Sometimes we receive a large list. According to the wool price at that time, we can earn 1 yuan, but when we go to buy the wool, we find that the price has gone up a lot, and we have to lose money, but the customer has already paid the deposit. If we don't do it, we will have to pay the deposit, and the business is very bad."

Zhang boss said.

Cloth: cotton prices continue to drop half price is strong

Cotton prices have been down for half a month. Yesterday, the cotton futures contract of the Zhengzhou Mercantile Exchange approached another 25000 yuan / ton, down nearly 25% from the 10 yuan record of 33600 yuan / ton in November.

But cloth market reaction is not obvious.

Huang Xueming told reporters yesterday: "this year, 4 and May wool price of 50 gross was 50 yuan / meter, then all the way up, yesterday the price was 60 yuan, today it has risen to 70 yuan.

A cloth should be at least 3 meters in length, that is to say, only 30 yuan will be spent on cloth.

Reporters visited the Zhongda cloth market yesterday, and found that most of the fabric prices were not downgraded.

Zhou Dafeng, the boss of cloth wholesale business, told reporters that most of the cloth prices are still at a high level.

Take a twill, which is now a good sales volume, for example, the price in the latest month is around 16 yuan / meter, compared with 9 yuan / meter in the same period last year.

Zhou Dafeng told reporters that the high price of cotton made his business basically stagnant in the last two months.

"Upstream is unwilling to cut prices, and downstream can not accept such a high price. Many products that are too expensive are temporarily not operating."

Industry: labor costs rise to promote winter clothing price increase this year

"Nowadays, the rising prices of raw materials have led to the rise in winter clothing prices.

Actually, the rise in winter clothing is not directly related to the rising price of raw materials. "

As Huang Xueming, vice president of Guangzhou clothing association, frankly, this winter clothing has been produced in summer.

Before April and May this year, the price of cloth was relatively stable.

"Since the middle of this year, the price of cloth has risen sharply due to the skyrocketing cotton prices. What really affects next year's spring and summer wear and the part of winter clothing replenishment are.

Because for most garment factories, most of the fabrics purchased at present are for next spring, summer wear, even autumn and winter.

However, due to the soaring price of cloth in the second half of this year, many manufacturers have used this as an excuse to increase the cost of raw materials for spring and summer next year.

In addition, "the rising cost of labor has the greatest impact."

Huang Xueming said, in general, clothing costs, raw materials accounted for three or four of the total, design fees accounted for a small proportion, and processing fees and management fees can account for about half.

The price of labour has increased significantly over the past two years.

According to the Guangzhou Clothing Association survey, the average wages of ordinary workers in many garment production enterprises in Guangzhou increased by two or three over the past year, and the maturity of skilled workers increased by three or four.

Trend Forecast:

Cotton prices fell little room

By the end of October and early November, the purchase price of seed cotton had reached 7~8 yuan / Jin in some producing areas, and the price of cotton seed was converted to cotton price at 27000~28000 yuan / ton.

But this market lasted for only a month or so, and cotton prices before and after were far below that level. At present, the purchase price of seed cotton in main producing areas is about 5.5 yuan / Jin, which is converted to cotton price at 24000 yuan / ton.

"Enterprises are buying cotton in succession, both cheap and expensive, so there is still room for cutting prices.

The main reason is that cotton prices may continue to rise, so they are reluctant to cut prices.

Insiders told reporters.

Besides cotton price, the price of chemical fiber, another important material of clothing, is also maintained at a high level.

Polyester staple and polyester filament, which have substitution effect with cotton, are downstream products of PTA (9458, -266.00, -2.74%). The price of PTA rose sharply in early November, but the price of PTA has dropped, but it is still at a high level recently.

The head of the northwest two cotton Guangzhou office also told reporters that even if the upstream raw material prices continue to fall, the pmission to the end products will have to wait until next summer.

But the industry generally has little expectation of falling cotton prices.

Huatai the Great Wall futures analyst Zhou Jianrui told reporters: "cotton futures, spot are between 25000~26000 yuan / ton, if the gap below 25000 yuan / ton, may be close to 22000~23000 yuan / ton, but no one in the industry thinks cotton prices can fall to 20000 yuan / ton below."

Enterprises should deal with:

Refurbishment last year did not export long list.

In order to cope with the pressure of rising costs, garment enterprises are also surprisingly coping.

Huang Xueming told reporters that the enterprises now have the conditions to carry out equipment pformation and replace labor with equipment.

In addition, the sale of new styles sold last year is more common when new ones are sold.

The reporter saw in a department store that a woman's clothing brand launched different products every year, and this year several items were last year's products, not only without discount, but also higher than the price of last year's clothes.

The salesperson admits, "this is the style of last year, but the cloth is used this year, and the fabric price has increased this year."

The industry also told reporters that in the face of rising fabric, many enterprises will try to find cheap cloth to replace, such as 60 wool wool to find 50 wool instead, some enterprises use professional chemicals to optimize cloth and so on.

Compared with domestic enterprises, export enterprises are more difficult.

"Not only will we face all kinds of rising costs, but also face the pressure of RMB appreciation."

Anna, general manager of export Winnie apparel enterprise in Europe, told Pan Weiwen.

A company official who did not want to disclose his name told reporters: "because of the instability of cloth price and exchange rate, we are more willing to receive short lists, and capital recovery is fast.

At the same time, enterprises also gradually increase the proportion of domestic sales.

According to the analysis of the first textile net, the export of textile and clothing decreased by more than 10% in October, while the ratio of textile and garment exports in September was also negative.
