As the off-season approaches, the price of this fabric has increased by 50% and it is still sold out!

[168TEX News] Many market participants believe that this year’s off-season market seems to have arrived earlier than in previous years, and the textile market is basically the most severe year. Many weaving manufacturers strictly control their production capacity and do not dare to produce at full capacity, fearing that the inventory will be difficult to sell and their working capital will be affected. However, many manufacturers have recently been annoyed as to why they did not make more inventory in the first place! Why is this?
“Do you have nano-crepe at home?” “No, the entire market is out of stock recently!” This conversation has been common in the market recently. In fact, everyone who does textiles knows that nano-crepe is not a new product. In addition, the prime sales season for light and thin fabrics with seasonal characteristics is generally March to April. Now it has entered May. Light and thin fabrics similar to imitation silk can be It is said that the peak season is over. But the recent nanocrepe is hard to find. Many manufacturers regret not stocking up early and losing the opportunity.
Nano-crepe, as the name suggests, is a kind of crepe fabric. There are generally two types on the market. One is without stripes, which is more conventional. Some weaving manufacturers have it in stock. The other is with stripes, with 75D being the most common. There are many specifications, and generally they can only be made to order. “Actually, this fabric is not much different from chiffon fabric. Because it is twisted left and right, it is crepey. Relatively speaking, it is a little special compared to other plain weave imitation silk. The market did not dare to stock it before, and there was not much in stock, so once Once it becomes popular, the market gap feels relatively large.” said Mr. Zhang from Jiaxing Xinyeda Weaving Co., Ltd.

Later, the author visited several companies and learned that in fact, nano-crepe weaving is not difficult, and there are a lot of machines on the market. There are two main reasons for this “supply exceeds demand”: First, it is not a conventional product, and the market There is less spot stock; secondly, due to early environmental protection controls, the number of finished imitation silk products in the market is low.

In 2012, imitation silk fabrics became popular on the market. Light and thin fabrics, with chiffon as the main product, became the products that many manufacturers rushed to stock. Although its production capacity expanded too quickly later, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand, and the price of chiffon continued to fall, it is still one of the most popular products in the market. The first choice for traders to stock up. In comparison, although nano-crepe is also a lightweight fabric, it was not popular among women’s fashion trends in the past few years, so there are not many people hoarding it in the market.
After the four major popular trend themes of 2016 spring and summer: “Maker”, “Vitality”, “Accent” and “Intentional Craftsmanship” were announced, semi-transparent and hazy fabrics became a new direction for women’s clothing fabrics in 2016 spring and summer. White, off-white and light colors are the main colors, so downstream people suddenly turned their attention to nano crepe – a product with an elegant appearance, good breathability and drape, and a ready-to-wear upper body that is elegant, comfortable and very feminine. fabric. The demand for nanocrepe exploded due to the trend.
In addition, since this year, Keqiao, Paojiang and other places have successively launched actions to improve the development of the printing and dyeing industry. More than 70 printing and dyeing companies have suspended production for rectification, resulting in a sharp reduction in Shaoxing’s printing and dyeing production capacity. The turbulent market and the increase in dyeing fees have made people who sell spot goods in the early stage more cautious. This also leads to a certain extent that traders dare not stock up in advance for fear of increasing risks.
The explosion of demand coupled with insufficient supply has led to the emergence of the nanocrepe market. It is understood that its price has also risen, and the most common 75D has also increased from about 3 yuan to more than 5 yuan, an increase of nearly 50%. An old salesman who has been in the market for more than 10 years said: “Old products also have their spring. In fact, this phenomenon is not new in the textile industry. Demand drives the emergence of the market. In fact, if you have nothing to do, go to large shopping malls. You can understand why these fabrics sell so well!”<br /
