Cationic fabric, as the name suggests, is composed of cationic silk and other yarns. The most distinctive feature of this fabric is that the fabric has a two-color effect, that is, it has two colors after dyeing. Cationic fabrics emerged from the market more than ten years ago, but they have ushered in another “spring” since April this year!
Why are old products so popular?
Recently, cationic snow pear spinning, polyester cationic, cationic imitation linen and other varieties have been selling well in the market. “Recently, all the machines are weaving cationic products. Raw materials are queued up to buy, and customers are also queued up to get the goods.” The boss of a weaving company in Shengze told the author. Cationic fabrics have been a conventional product for more than ten years. What causes old products to become popular again?
1. Under the heavy pressure of environmental protection regulations in various places, the Shengze market “survived from desperate situations”
Since the convening of a special action to renovate and improve water-jet looms in Xiuzhou District, Jiaxing, in March this year, 100 million water-jet looms have been banned, forcing some orders to be transferred to the nearby Shengze market. In addition, the special rectification of Hebei’s textile industry and the closure of heavily polluting enterprises in Nantong have also contributed to the situation to a certain extent. Driven by the introduction of environmental protection policies, the Shengze market has recovered compared with previous years, ushering in a great spring. Of course, cationic fabrics are no exception. Driven by the entire market, they have stood out and become the leader. The boss of a weaving company in Shengze said: “Most of the cations this year are in the form of orders, the inventory is basically zero, and the operating rate is 100%.” Affected by the policy, the Shengze market took advantage of this and made a lot of money.
2. With excellent characteristics and wide range of applications, cations are favored by the public
There are many varieties of cationic products, including heavy ones with a cotton-like feel, light and thin ones with high density, and elastic ones. Cationic fabrics are widely used and can be used in sportswear such as sweatshirts, sweatpants, mountaineering clothing, and yoga clothing. They can also be used in light winter clothing such as down jackets and cotton clothing. They can also be used in home textile products such as sofa fabrics and curtain fabrics. Its widespread use has increased demand and exceeded supply. This is also due to the advantages of cationic fabrics themselves, such as bright colors, easy coloring, high strength, and easy water absorption, which are favored by buyers and designers.
“There are more cationic fabrics used for home textiles, and the thicker ones are mainly used for sofa cloths, wall coverings and curtains.” The author learned from a certain home textile manufacturer. It is understood that China Textile City’s curtain fabrics and wall coverings business has developed rapidly this year, with annual sales growth between 30% and 40%. There are many households being demolished in Keqiao this year, the market demand for wall coverings is greater than in previous years, and business is good.
The clothing industry mainly develops winter clothing from April to June. Down jackets are the main force, and light and thin cationic fabrics are the first choice. Therefore, large quantities of purchases temporarily caused an imbalance between supply and demand in the market. The director of a coating factory told the author that a large number of cationic fabrics are brought in every day for anti-velvet coating. Relevant personnel from a dyeing factory in Shenghong also said that gray fabrics of cationic fabrics are being pulled in every day.
Cationic fabrics continue to be popular, and many people are worried about its decline in the near future. To this end, the author conducted a survey with the bosses of some companies. Most said there would be no significant pullback and that there might be a slight decline. The most concerning off-season period in July and August every year, cationic fabrics will not fall into the off-season. This relies on its own powerful functional characteristics, which is suitable for all seasons and will not be eliminated. Business owners have high hopes for the future of cationic fabrics. China Silk City Network will continue to pay attention to whether it can live up to expectations and achieve a bumper harvest this year.
