2018 Home Textile Market In The First Half Of The Year: Foreign Trade Difficulties Under The Influence Of Environmental Protection And High Pressure

This year is a turning point for the textile industry. Loom harnessing, rising dye costs and limited production capacity have a profound impact on the textile industry. In this context, what are the market prices of home textiles in the first half of this year? What are the main concerns of customers when purchasing? What are the new trends of home textiles in the past two years?

Which factors affect the production and marketing?

The number of home textile fabrics increased, and foreign trade became more and more difficult.

In the first half of this year, because of the regulation of water looms, the textile industry in Shengze entered a crazy market that "everything sells well, everything is out of stock".

Home textile fabrics as an important branch of the fabric industry in the first half of the performance? Let's take a look at the Shengze home textile enterprises.

Wujiang Tianli spurt weaving factory mainly produces shading cloth (curtain cloth). Their manager Zhang Junzhe said that the off-season is earlier than earlier this year, but the overall sales trend is on the rise.

Their products are mainly exported to Shaoxing, Fujian, Italy and so on. The share of domestic sales has been increasing in the past two years.

Wujiang second time home textile finishing Co., Ltd. is mainly pfer printing of chemical fiber fabrics, mostly exported to Europe and the United States.

Their Zhong Ting manager said that their sales volume has gradually decreased since the second half of last year, and the pfer of orders is obvious.

Among them, the exchange rate and order delivery time have become an important factor affecting sales volume.

In addition to the above problems, Zhong Ting manager also said that in the past two years, the export cycle of foreign trade has also become longer, which has also had many adverse effects on the production and operation of their enterprises.

Wujiang Xingda spray weaving factory mainly produces curtain cloth. Luo Weifeng manager said that sales in the first half of the year were almost the same as in the past few years.

But from the regional point of view, the sales volume to Keqiao area has been increasing since last year.

Generally speaking, the market of home textiles in Shengze in the first half of the year can be described as stable and steady. The wind of loom regulation has not greatly affected the home textile fabric.

From the development trend of the sales location, the development speed of domestic trade is obviously higher than that of foreign trade, and the business of foreign trade is becoming more and more difficult.

It is foreseeable that the proportion of domestic trade in home textile industry will continue to rise in the future.

Cost performance is still the focus of customers.

The consumption level of household textile products in China has basically changed from nothing to nothing, and is undergoing pformation from the previous single variety and low-end consumption to diversified, differentiated and high-quality consumption.

But now, in the traditional home textile industry, the cost performance is still the most concerned problem for customers.

Suzhou Yu Du Textile Co., Ltd. mainly produces corduroy. Their manager Wang said that the price ratio is the most important factor in the process of selecting the home textile fabrics, and their conventional home textile products still need a certain price advantage to be accepted by customers.

In addition, hand, flower, comfort and other conventional standards are also the focus of customer selection of home textiles.

In the first half of this year, the jacquard curtain fabric made of jets was sold better, characterized by beautiful colors and comfortable hands, said Luo manager of the Xingda textile weaving factory in Wujiang.

Peach skin fabric is also popular in the market, characterized by soft handle and good drapability.

It can be said that in the eyes of customers, the basic performance and cost-effective are still the most important factors.

Functional home textiles fabrics reveal their heads.

In the course of the investigation, the author found that in recent two years, customers began to put forward some requirements for the functionality of home textile fabrics, and some home textile enterprises will also consciously develop new home textile fabrics.

Among them, because the safety factor is getting more and more attention, flame retardant fabric has become a fast growing point in home textiles.

Zhang Junzhe of Wujiang Tianli spurt weaving mill said that when customers choose curtains, they pay more and more attention to functionality besides flower pattern and cost performance, and their demand for flame-retardant curtains is getting higher and higher.

In the near future, they are also developing a series of flame retardant fabrics.

Wujiang Jisheng Textile Co., Ltd. mainly produces jacquard, imitation hemp, satin and other extra wide home textile fabrics. Their Shen Jianhua manager told reporters that at present, customers choose to focus on the functional and aesthetic degree of home textiles.

At present, the company uses 3 of the capacity to develop new products, 7 of the capacity to make regular orders, and orders are mostly "small batch, customized", and invest heavily in new products.

Now they are focusing on developing various kinds of functional fabrics, such as UV, flame retardant and bacteria control, and their response in the market is pretty good.

He believes that only new products can remain unbeaten in the market.

Environmental protection and high pressure household textile enterprises meet the "stumbling block"

In recent years, environmental protection has been raging in full swing. Influenced by environmental protection, the capacity of printing and dyeing industry has been greatly restricted.

In the first half of this year, there was a "burst warehouse" in dyeing factories, and the home textile fabric industry was also deeply affected.

Suzhou Da Yin Textile Technology Co., Ltd. produces extra wide home textiles

Jin Jianrong's manager, who has light colored products, said that because of the strict environmental protection inspection this year, the textile and printing and dyeing factories both limit production and stop production and lead to no time to pay.

Customers have been urging, sometimes helpless but dragging.

Suzhou AECO Textile Technology Co., Ltd. mainly produces TC anti feather cloth.

Washing cotton, their manager Yang told reporters that the overall order volume increased in the first half of this year, but because of the influence of the dyeing plant's capacity, their production capacity was greatly restricted, and the delivery time of the order was also longer. Even if the wave of the most heated market has passed, the delivery date of the order will still be between one month and 40 days.

Zhong Ting, manager of Wujiang second time home textile finishing Co., Ltd. also said that under the influence of environmental protection, not only the delivery time of dyeing factories has been greatly extended, but also the supply time of grey fabrics has increased, which will inevitably reduce the time of the latter road; the delivery period is extended, the fabric prices are rising, many customers can not receive, orders are cancelled or pferred.

At the same time, due to the extension of delivery time has become a common phenomenon in the market, nowadays disperse printing is more favored by the market, which to a certain extent also affects the pfer printing order.

Generally speaking, the impact of environmental high pressure on home textile enterprises is still great. The main influence is in the order and order delivery.

The worries of home textile enterprises are also focused on environmental protection. Unstable delivery time and limited printing and dyeing capacity have become a "stumbling block" for the sustainable development of fabric enterprises.

Editor's note: influenced by the increasingly stringent environmental policies in China, the limited capacity of printing and dyeing and the rising of dye charges pose a challenge to the delivery time and cost of home textile enterprises.

Domestic trade, because the prices of all kinds of raw materials in China have risen as a whole, the price of home textile fabrics has not broken through the psychological expectations of the customers, so the impact has been less. In terms of foreign trade, because of the higher demand for cost performance by foreign customers, the cost of domestic textile has increased to some home textiles.

The list of enterprises is becoming more and more difficult. How will the home textile market be in the second half? Let's wait and see.
