Survive the off-season, but die in the peak season! At the beginning, many textile people still wanted to figure out: Why did the price suddenly increase? When will it end? But when I saw the price of raw materials breaking through the previous estimated value again and again, I became numb. Now I don’t want to figure out the reason. Every morning is just to confirm one fact: the raw materials have risen again today!
During this period, the price of textile raw materials skyrocketed, and downstream people suffered terribly. It can be said that flour is more expensive than bread, but it is still hard to find. It is said that more than 50% of the specifications require queuing to purchase, and some products are even more stressful. Not only that, the price increase of raw materials does not seem to have stopped:
On Monday (December 12), affected by the agreement of non-OPEC oil-producing countries to reduce production, raw materials experienced a sharp increase again, and polyester factories increased their quotations one after another, with the increase being 200 yuan/ton;
On Tuesday (December 13), polyester manufacturers once again raised their quotations, and the increase was also 100-200 yuan/ton;
…
This week has just begun, and there are endless voices of rising prices, “nylon is going up, polyester is going up, how to weave, please tell me!” Under this “abuse” market situation, a textile boss in the circle of friends shouted:
The textile bosses went from resistance, abuse, and helplessness at the beginning to acceptance, and then numbness and self-deprecation. The surge in raw materials has brought great pressure to the textile industry. In an instant, the circle of friends was filled with all kinds of textile jokers, but they truly wrote about the “mental journey” of textile people now!
The picture below shows the editor’s circle of friends in recent days:
Although the various ridicules and insults in the circle of friends seem a bit playful, there is a strong sense of tragedy hidden in them. However, in the face of such rising raw material prices, textile people in the second half of this year really “cannot afford to be hurt”! Weaving manufacturers are facing huge cost pressure: “Now we lose as much as we produce, and we lose as much as we sell! But if we don’t sell, it won’t work!” A textile factory owner said with emotion.
It is understood that the current increase in the cost of upstream raw materials has caused some orders to enter the ranks of losses. However, in order to retain skilled workers, maintain survival, and complete orders at the end of the year, most textile companies can only insist on production, and the profits they managed to save in the peak season in the early stage Also started to regurgitate. Many manufacturers have also tried to raise the prices of gray fabrics: as of December, polyester taffeta and pongee series have generally been raised by 0.10-0.15 yuan/meter; Oxford cloth and peach skin series have been raised by 0.20 yuan/meter… But weaving manufacturers He expressed that he did not dare to increase the price of gray fabrics too much, because if the price increase was too high, it would be tantamount to shutting out customers. Raw materials have increased by hundreds or even thousands, while gray fabrics can only keep up with the increase by 1 or 2 cents. The weaving manufacturers’ insignificant increase method cannot make up for the “cost penalty” caused by the raw materials. “We have only raised the price by a few cents symbolically, but for some orders from old customers, there is no way to increase the price. After all, we have been cooperating with each other, so even if we lose money, we can only continue to do it.” said a textile boss in Wujiang area. .
When visiting the market, the editor also found that in addition to cost problems, end-of-year funding problems, bank loan problems, gray fabric inventory problems, low-price competition problems, rising dyeing fees, etc. all describe the “hardship” of textile bosses today. ” and “embarrassing” state, textile enterprises are also suffering from upward pressure and downward pressure, and the dilemma of moving forward under pressure.
Finally, the editor wants to end with a joke in the circle of friends:
Customer: Your fabric prices are too high;
Salesperson:……
The next day
Customer: Send it to me
Salesperson: The price has increased
Customer: No more.
The third day
Customer: Can it still be cheaper?
Salesperson: Sorry, the dyeing fee has also gone up
Customer: It’s gone up again, forget it!
Day 4
Customer: Make sure! ! I’ll decide now! ! !
Salesperson: Sorry, the stock of the goods you requested has been shipped out.
Now that the dyeing factory is conducting environmental inspections, it will take at least half a month to schedule production! Now that polyester stocks are low, manufacturers are more confident in rising prices! Now it is difficult to collect funds at the end of the year, and the boss has already embarked on the road of collecting money! So, it’s not that the workers and sales are unreliable, it’s that the current market is too cruel!
