Orders Increased Significantly In The Second Half Of The Year, And Sales Of Some Textile And Garment Enterprises Recovered

On October 19, the workshop of shiwugang Knitting Co., Ltd., located in Huadian functional area of the Development Zone, was busy. In order to catch up with the goods, even office workers have joined the production line. Compared with the first half of the year, this scene is like a double sky of ice and fire.

Dual factors at home and abroad drive industry development

"At present, our orders have been scheduled to January next year and are now in full production. In September, the company's output value increased by about 25% Wugang Knitting Co., Ltd. is the president of the city's knitting apparel industry association, specializing in the production and sales of various types of knitted fabrics, products are mainly supplied to downstream clothing enterprises. Wu Gang, chairman of the company, learned from customers in Henan, Shandong, Sichuan and other places that some clothing enterprises had sold out of stock in the previous two years. He believes that the recovery of domestic textile and clothing industry is mainly affected by the superposition of domestic and foreign factors.

On the one hand, in the second half of the year, a large number of textile and garment orders were transferred from abroad to China. Affected by the epidemic, many textile and garment enterprises in India, Pakistan and other countries are unable to guarantee normal delivery. In order to ensure continuous supply, European and American retailers transfer a large number of orders to China. According to public data, in August, China's textile exports amounted to US $14.72 billion, up 47% year-on-year; and clothing exports were US $16.21 billion, up 3.2% year-on-year, achieving the first positive monthly growth in the year.

Secondly, the steady recovery of domestic economy has led to the growth of demand and the arrival of the traditional "golden nine silver ten" consumption peak season, which has also stimulated the consumption of textile and clothing.

However, Wu Gang said that the surge in foreign textile and garment orders mainly came from economically developed regions such as Europe and the United States, while the growth in the Middle East and Africa was not obvious.

Dongyang arbaz Clothing Co., Ltd. staff told reporters that the company's men's Arabian robes are mainly sold to the Middle East and other Arab countries, sales have been relatively stable since this year.

Sharp increase in orders drives up the price of raw materials

The rapid increase of orders in the short term has also brought new troubles to textile and garment enterprises -- the prices of dyes, cotton, polyester and other raw materials in the upstream have skyrocketed, and it is difficult to find a single product.

"In the first half of the year, because the market downturn, upstream enterprises are controlling inventory." Wu Gang said that after the rapid growth of clothing production, yarn and other raw materials were in short supply, the price increased by about 10%, and the delivery date was uncertain. In the past, the yarn could be delivered in two or three days after payment; now, it may not be able to arrive after half a month. Wu Gang said frankly that he has been engaged in the textile industry for more than 20 years and has not encountered such a situation for ten years. "In 2010, the superposition of multiple factors at home and abroad, raw material prices skyrocketed, leading to many clothing enterprises overburdened. At present, the increase of raw materials by 10% is still within the normal range, which will not have a great impact on the follow-up development of the industry. "

However, not all raw materials in the textile and garment industry are in short supply and the prices are soaring. Located in changsonggang functional zone of the Development Zone, Zhejiang Feifei Wire Industry Co., Ltd. mainly produces gold and silver wire, gold and silver thread and other products. As a small category of decorative clothing accessories, its sales market is mainly subject to the popular trend, not affected by the environment, so the price and sales volume are relatively stable.
