The demand in the downstream textile end market is worrying. There are few orders received by domestic factories after the year. There are still worries. The enthusiasm for purchasing is weak. The production and sales of manufacturers are difficult to be leveled, and the inventory keeps rising. At present, the stock of grey fabric of weaving enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang area has risen to 40-41 days, and it is difficult for some manufacturers to go to the stock. In terms of export, according to the statistics of the customs, from January to February 2020, China’s export of textile yarn, fabrics and products reached 13.772.5 billion US dollars, down 19.9% year on year, and the export of clothing and accessories reached 16.062.3 billion US dollars, down 20.0% year on year. At present, some foreign trade orders have been cancelled, stopped shipping and other phenomena have increased gradually, and the situation of price reduction has occurred frequently, and the profit space has shrunk significantly. Due to the rising stock and capital pressure of textile enterprises, the comprehensive start-up of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms has dropped to around 61%. It is expected that the enthusiasm for start-up will decline in the second quarter, and the loom start-up rate may continue to decline.

 

Xia Ting, a business analyst, believes that the upstream crude oil fell sharply, PTA supply and demand were unbalanced, and the cost continued to collapse. The downstream weaving market has been scarred, the inventory has been rising, and the order reduction inventory has increased. Many weaving enterprises decided to implement the operation of holiday and production reduction in the peak season of the “golden three silver four”, and the market entered the off-season ahead of time. Polyester filament price center of gravity all the way down, the factory continues to promote preferential sales, it is expected that April will continue to weaken more likely.
