It is said that demand determines the market. Since mid-October, the dyeing factory has been booming. Customers are supporting it and bosses are begging for it. It is such a great scene! But in fact, from the perspective of the dyeing factory, it also has a lot of helplessness, especially the impact of the continuous rise in dyes!
In recent months, major dyeing factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have increased their dyeing fees based on the orders on hand. Many cloth bosses said that they were raising prices at the same time! (The picture below shows the price increase list of dyeing factories in recent times)
“In recent years, dyeing fees have been rising one after another, regardless of our operating conditions. Once the market is good, dyeing fees will go up. If the market is bad, they don’t necessarily fall. Especially for some bright colors, the increase is even more dramatic. “Boss Zhang told the author, “Because there has been more demand for bright colors in spring and summer clothing fabrics in recent years, the price increase has also been more obvious. For example, dyeing a bright color at the beginning of the year cost 2 yuan, but now it has increased The price increased by 3 yuan, and the increase exceeded the basic dyeing fee, and we felt very hurt.”
In fact, Boss Zhang’s complaint is the voice of most cloth bosses, but dyeing factories have no choice but to raise prices. “The market is good but the goods cannot be delivered, which is indeed a factor in the increase in our dyeing fees, but the continuous increase in dyes this year is the reason why we have to increase the price.” Mr. Wang from a dyeing factory in Wujiang told the author.
The author searched for information on the rise in dyes in 2016 and found that since mid-to-early March, the dye market has risen no less than five times, which has actually caused a considerable impact on printing and dyeing costs.
According to market participants, since this year, domestic environmental protection supervision has become increasingly tight, and many dye and dye intermediate manufacturers have suspended or significantly reduced production. This has greatly increased the procurement cost of dye raw materials on the one hand, and on the other hand, the supply and demand relationship for dye products has tightened.
As early as the beginning of the year, the dye market began to boom on a large scale, with bungee jumps rising. The price of dyes, which has been at floor prices, has been released. Because of the rising prices, large printing and dyeing companies and dye merchants are simultaneously taking delivery of goods in large quantities. As a result, the manufacturers’ warehouses that were full of dyes were all emptied out in those few days. The dealer has a bill of lading but no dye to deliver. More news showed that at that time, there was a 1-kilometer long queue at the sales office of Longsheng Company, a leading domestic dye company. People started waiting to pick up limited quantities of goods starting at 6 a.m.
Although this hot phenomenon has not been repeated since then, the rise in dyes has destined the price of dyeing fees to not fall. On December 1, another insider broke the news: From now on, dye giants such as Longsheng, Runtu, Boao, Jihua, Yabang and other dye giants will increase the price of Dispersed Emerald Blue S-GL200% Blue 60# by 20,000 yuan ton, the price is adjusted to 200 yuan per kilogram.
“Actually, for bright colors, especially bright blue or green, because the raw materials use imported bright orchids, which are very expensive, the dyeing cost has increased even more significantly. Some even exceed the cost by 5-6 yuan/meter. That is to say, if the cost exceeds the basic dyeing fee, the dyeing fee for one meter of cloth will be as high as 7-8 yuan, so sometimes we don’t have to increase the price, but because of the cost push, we have to do so.” An anonymous person said The owner of the dyeing factory said.
They all say: Hateful people must be pitiful! At present, the dyeing factory has the overwhelming say, and cloth bosses also love and hate it. The printing and dyeing market in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions has been partially shut down due to the sword of environmental protection. The concentration of printing and dyeing production capacity is high, and market demand is more likely to explode. Coupled with the high oligopoly status of the dye industry, the price adjustment mechanism is easier to activate. Therefore, with both supply and cost benefiting, once demand starts, the printing and dyeing market will skyrocket as if detonated.
