The assault war becomes a long-lasting battle. In the peak season, we enter the off-season ahead of time. The textile boss: it will take another four months
In 2020, 1/3 novel coronavirus pneumonia, which brought the global economy into a "dark period", has not yet stopped. The novel coronavirus pneumonia data released by Johns Hopkins University in May 1st showed that 3271692 cases of new crown pneumonia were diagnosed globally, and 1 million 60 thousand cases were confirmed in the United States.
Influence of black swan epidemic on industrial chain continuous fermentation
Affected by the black swan incident, both the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain have been affected.
1. "Oil" is born! Another US oil related enterprise applies for bankruptcy protection:
It is reported that diamond offshore drilling company, which recently announced its application for bankruptcy protection, is a company mainly engaged in offshore drilling contracting business, with a large number of businesses in the Gulf of Mexico. According to relevant documents, the company's total revenue last year was 981 million US dollars (about 6.94 billion yuan), with about 2500 employees.
Affected by the price war and the outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia, after the collapse of oil prices, many crude oil producers have shut down their drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the near depletion of demand for the company, which has become the second concerned oil company to apply for bankruptcy protection after whiting oil company.
2. Guangzhou's business is bleak, and Hubei workers are coming back!
In Shahe and ShiSanHang of Guangzhou, they are the upper reaches of the garment workshops of the villages in the city. General traders choose their favorite clothes. The owner of the clothing store prepares the cloth in the medium and large cloth market and places an order nearby. Most of the workers here come from Hubei.
After the Spring Festival this year, the epidemic broke out, which caused many workers in Hubei Province not to arrive on time. At the end of March, Zhongda trumpeted the resumption of work. The garment factory still had a "false image of prosperity" because it was catching up with orders made years ago. However, in April, the market volume of orders dropped significantly. Many textile clothing owners said that the number of orders was at least 20-30% less than the previous year. A large number of Hubei garment workers had no work to open and chose to return home.
With the new crown epidemic in overseas countries changing from "shock war" to "long-term war", the negative impact on the entire industrial chain is also continuing to ferment. Although some countries in Europe and the United States said that they planned to "unseal" the test water in May, the fact is that the recovery of economic, trade, transportation, retail and other businesses may take a long time, which also leads to the recovery of the demand side of textile and clothing needs time.
At present, a small number of foreign trade bosses say that recently, there have been customers from the United States, Japan and South Korea extending olive branches, indicating that they have an intention to place an order, but the "black swan" of the epidemic does not fly away, and enterprises have to look forward to receiving orders. "Now I dare not take orders from countries with serious epidemic situation, for fear that they will be cancelled after taking them." General manager Chen, a trader, said.
Clothing early into the off-season, simulation silk unsalable! Weaver: four more months?!
For fabric traders, the most recent complaint is that customers do not have orders. The reason is that the clothing off-season has come.
A clothing boss said that business did not get busy before May 1st, which is enough to show that the clothing industry has entered the off-season in advance. "Before the May 1st of the previous year, in addition to the most prosperous stage of the first half of the year, this year has quietly entered the May 1st Labor Day. This off-season is a bit long. From May to August, such a long time is worrying the hearts of textile people!"
It is said that the May 1st holiday in Shahe business district has also taken three days this year, and the market has been comprehensively adjusted and disinfected. The textile and garment industry has always been "one good and one bad". Nowadays, the performance of the downstream garment industry is not good, which also restrains the improvement of the fabric industry. Especially in spring and summer, the fabric industry is under the most obvious pressure.
In April, as the main product of spring and summer clothing fabrics, silk simulation has been in a state of decline. Many manufacturers of imitation silk are facing the problem of "high inventory, low production and sales".
The owner of a textile factory that produces Chiffon admits that he hasn't received any orders for imitated silk for nearly half a month, and the machines in the factory can't be stopped all the time, because the cost of stopping all the time is not small, and the workers will also be lost, which leads to the fact that he has been in the stage of tired inventory in the near future. "There is a lot of pressure now, but the customer said that there is no order for clothing, and we have to wait."
Due to the sharp drop in market demand and the large imbalance between market supply and demand, the price of silk imitation this year has also encountered the "lowest price in history". At present, the market price of the common Chiffon 75D 24t is about 2.20-2.40 yuan / m, while the price of the same period last year basically maintained at 3.10 yuan / m, with a price drop of nearly 30%.
afterword
According to the traditional sales calendar of textile people, in the first half of the year, the traditional peak season is from March to May and from June to August is the off-season. However, this year's situation is special, so the peak season will be skipped directly, resulting in the market has been spent in the off-season.
In May, the market is still not optimistic, the export orders have not been resumed, the suspension of orders has not been eased, the delivery period of orders that have not been cancelled in the early stage is generally delayed, and the domestic market has picked up, mainly focusing on autumn and winter clothing fabrics. Some domestic tooling and medical fabric demand is acceptable, but the transaction price is still low.
Facing today's extended May Day holiday, many textile people are also looking forward to when they can make up for the late peak season
