[Market information]：The bargaining scale of raw materials is large, and profits are seriously squeezed. Downstream enterprises dare not accept orders.

Entering November, although the power rationing situation has improved, the textile market seems to be more tangled than in October.

Recently, the prices of textile commodities have fluctuated. The fluctuation of raw material price is transmitted downward. Recently, the polyester factory has promoted twice in succession. For only 4 days, the quotation of some specifications of polyester factory products has been greatly reduced by 500 yuan/ton. Early international oil prices fell significantly, further depressing the polyester industry chain products quoted.

However, what is even more tangled is that after the power rationing was released, the operating rate of the polyester link did not rise as expected. According to the data, as of November 11, it remained at about 85%, and the lower point rose by less than 4 percentage points. The construction of major textile bases in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is still around 70%, and the construction of polyester and weaving is still at a low level compared with the first half of the year.

Raw materials plunged

The scale of downstream bargaining is getting larger and larger.

Although November prices began to loosen and polyester factories started to open, the overall year-round was still a straight-line upward curve. "Although the price of raw materials has retreated now, it is still at a high level." Zhejiang Shaoxing area of an unnamed fabric enterprise head frankly, by the first half of the epidemic and the second half of the power rationing, some raw material prices doubled, especially in the foreign trade business, superimposed on the logistics costs upward, fabric prices up to more than 20% to ensure no loss. "However, it is difficult for many customers to accept. Now the company's product prices have also increased, but it is far from enough to offset the increase in production costs. We have given up some orders." The person in charge said bluntly.

the current situation of the company is not alone. Many fabric enterprises reflect that the current business is not easy to do and the production cost is too high, while the downstream sees that the price of raw materials continues to fall and the scale of bargaining is getting larger and larger, resulting in less and less profits of fabric enterprises. In addition, it is difficult to grasp the prices of raw materials and dyeing fees in the later period, and the production cycle of fabrics is not easy to grasp. With the gradual reduction of raw material inventory, fabric enterprises order delivery problem is becoming more and more serious.

Dyeing fee price increase notice is coming again.

Before the interview of the good list, but also dare to accept

And in the fiber raw material prices throughout the year high at the same time, recently many flour factory and received from printing and dyeing enterprises a paper price increase notice.

Since the implementation of the large-scale power restriction policy in mid-to-late September, printing and dyeing factories have issued price increase notices one after another nationwide, and some manufacturers have even issued many times and are constantly raising prices. This has led to a situation in which downstream fabric enterprises dare not accept any orders. A fabric trader complained: "In October, I refused to accept the order because of the exorbitant price of Ness gray cloth and the need to take the goods in cash. In November, because of the increasing price of dyeing fees, I lost money in production and did not dare to accept the order in the future. The second half of this year is really too difficult!"

Shipping freight pressure

Still let enterprises "difficult to bear"

Production and processing suffer from raw material rise pressure, logistics from shipping freight pressure also makes enterprises "difficult to bear its weight".

While the epidemic is still spreading around the world, global supply chains have been hit and port operations have fallen sharply, demand in the container transport market has recovered well. According to Clarkson's forecast, global aggregate demand will grow by 6.1% year-on-year in 2021. With the active container transportation market, international freight rates have increased significantly. Drewry World Container Index showed that the spot price of a 40-foot container from Shanghai to Los Angeles rose to US $10503 at the end of July, up 258% from a year earlier, increasing the cost pressure on textile foreign trade enterprises and squeezing profits.

A person in charge of a clothing company in Nantong, Jiangsu told reporters that shipping prices rose sharply in the first half of this year, containers rose from more than 2000 US dollars to 20,000 US dollars. In September, there was a decline, but it still reached 16,000~17,000 US dollars. "Generally, you have to order the cabinet 2 months in advance, otherwise you may not be able to order it. The price of the cabinet is not based on the price at the time of reservation, but based on the market price one week before delivery."

, even if the container is ordered, it is a problem to be unable to unload the goods at the port. A person in charge of a foreign trade company pointed out that if a container is stranded in a port, it will be fined 100 US dollars on the first day, 200 US dollars on the second day, and 300 US dollars on the third day. By analogy, a superimposed fine will make a container stranded in the port finally pay a very high-level fine.

has gone through the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten", the situation of power cuts in some areas has been alleviated compared with before, and the "one size fits all" phenomenon has been improved. However, for fabric enterprises, the follow-up impact caused by double control of energy consumption still brings great challenges to enterprises.
