Recently, the popularity of stretch fabrics in the market has not been as hot as in the previous period. With the decline of spandex raw materials, four-sided stretch products have gradually lost their luster...

"Recently, the market for twisted nylon four-sided stretch grey fabrics has fallen, and the price has dropped from 6.8 yuan/meter to 6.3 yuan/meter. Almost no one is interested in the market. However, there are still weaving bosses who have spared no expense to open hundreds of looms for production and inventory. It is too risky to bet that the market will improve in the future!" said a textile boss in Shengze.

This is a "gamble", life and death are only in an instant!

This is indeed a gamble for the textile boss. The output of hundreds of looms is very large. Although the cost of raw materials has fallen, it has not yet reached a low level. If the market improves, it is certain to make a lot of money. But assuming that the market is difficult to turn around, there may only be a "dead end".

Four-sided stretch products are different from other stretch fabrics. This kind of fabric is more "gold and expensive" and cannot be stored for a long time, and the storage also depends on the environment. If the production inventory is too large, you must be prepared to face much loss.

Although it has been mentioned before that the four-sided elastics stored for four or five years can be sold, this is always an exception. Most four-sided elastic products will cause the spandex yarn to break if they are used for a long time. Elastic stretch fabrics can only be sold as processed fabrics, so it is conceivable that the above-mentioned textile bosses are under psychological pressure to take this risk.

Can this "adventure" succeed?

However, this big adventure is not impossible to succeed. First of all, four-sided elastic products are like a myth in this year’s textile market. They are selling well during the "Golden Three Silver Four" period, and they are also popular in the off-season in May and June. Hot ones, go to the market and ask the textile bosses in the sales department what fabrics are hot this year. They can all tell you that they are all-sided elastic without hesitation.

Secondly, the demand for tetrahedral products is there. Most tetrahedral products are suitable for use throughout the year and have a wide range of uses. In recent years, elastic fabrics have long occupied a certain position in the market. Even if it can’t be sold now, it can still be sold next year. When the market is good, the price of grey fabrics can be sold at a higher price, and the price of raw materials will also increase, especially spandex yarn. This year, except for the reason for the price increase of spandex manufacturers, it was originally because the four-sided stretch products are selling well. Can't stop, imagine that the current price of spandex yarn may be low next year.

In the last half of the year, four-sided stretch products may not be as popular as "professional" autumn and winter fabrics such as T8 and T400, but I believe that as long as the market improves, orders for such fabrics can definitely be placed. But in the end, it still depends on whether the market can get better in the second half of the year.

Can the market improve in the second half of the year?

According to the current situation, it is still unknown whether the market will improve in the second half of the year. The current time has come to September. As the first month of the peak season in the second half of the year, many orders should have been received, but now most textile bosses report The market situation of the market is still flat. Of course, the current few orders are also because there were too many orders in the previous June, and they were all orders from traders to stock up. As a result, there is actually a large amount of inventory that has not been digested in the market.

However, it can be seen from the market performance of the epidemic last year that this year should not be very deserted. Whether the market can improve now depends on the foreign epidemic situation and the temperature situation of this winter. Now go to the market and ask the textile boss what will happen in the second half of the year. In this way, even the old rivers and lakes who have been engaged in the textile business for 20 years are difficult to give a definite answer. After all, there are many uncertain factors in the textile market. When is the centralized placement of wave orders? It may be mid-September or early October. Of course, before this day is ushered in, all conclusions are just speculations.

So, ladies and gentlemen, do you think "Golden Nine Silver Ten" will give the market a satisfactory answer?
