In July and August each year, European customers began to take vacations, and the foreign trade business was generally light. Some people have previously pointed out that the foreign trade companies in the "off-season trade" survey have found that more than 80% of foreign trade companies have reflected different levels of summer orders.
57% of respondents said that orders from spring to summer have decreased by more than 20%, and some of them have decreased by more than 30%. Another 28% of respondents said that the order volume is reduced by less than 20%, which belongs to the annual low season. Normal fluctuation range. In addition, 15% of merchants indicated that the order volume was not affected by the off-season.
European market concentrated vacation
Foreign traders know that Europeans attach great importance to this summer holiday. Many European companies have their own vacations, and some companies even have a holiday. The mid-to-late August is the time period during which they are concentrated. In general, European customers will make good orders before going on vacation, and then go on holiday. But everyone is not focused on a while, and the length of vacation time is different.
So, how much influence does a European customer have on holidays, such as textile companies? Let us take a look at some of the problems encountered by the following companies in the actual operation, as well as the views on the future foreign trade market:
Mr. Wang: The company mainly makes sports fabrics. In the off-season of foreign trade from July to August, the sales volume decreased. At present, orders have fallen from the previous month. Before that, they can produce 5-6 cabinets for one month. After entering July-August, according to the usual trend, the number may be reduced by 1/3. The fabrics exported to the United States are relatively high-end. The fabrics exported to the Bay of Bengal and South Africa are relatively low-end.
Manager Zhou: Our company does not have many first-hand customers in Europe. As for a few European and American customers, they have not heard that they will have a large-scale holiday, and now they have entered the off-season, and orders have shrunk a lot. Therefore, the impact of the off-season on the market may be more obvious. However, I have heard from some senior seniors and some customers who are doing foreign trade. It is true that there is a holiday, but now this stage is mostly proofing and development. Therefore, the main impact of European customers’ holiday is the development stage. time consuming.
Manager Zhang: Although our company does not have direct European customers, we know from the foreign trade company customers that it is true that the European market lacks large orders this month. However, in fact, from July to September, it is basically the traditional off-season of the textile market. From our company, the spring and summer market orders have basically ended, and the fabrics in autumn and winter are mostly in the proofing and sample stage. We also use the low season to develop new products.
When the peak season is coming, everyone is very calm.
Now, it is getting closer and closer to the traditional peak season. Although many weaving bosses verbally say that the market will not be good this year, they can still see their desire for market improvement. According to the practice of previous years, the market orders will be released in late August, paving the way for the arrival of “Golden Nine”, but this year’s textile market seems to be somewhat deserted. Whether it is polyester raw materials or weaving companies, it seems to have calmed down. .
In the past few years, when the price of raw materials has soared, the downstream weaving is often exciting. What is the price increase notice for three times a week, the collective price increase, etc., and it is also impulsive. Many raw materials are once priceless and have no market. Crazy rises and so on! However, in the middle of June and July this year, the prices of raw materials fluctuated greatly. At the same time, weaving companies were more of a “cold-looking” attitude.
Most of today's weaving companies also said that they will not be able to buy raw materials for a few months, like the last two years, basically with the purchase, the raw material procurement cycle is also shortened to 1-2 weeks.
Preparing for the gold, nine silver and ten
September is the traditional peak season for textiles. Although this year's market will be worse than in previous years, people's basic dressing needs are there, and the basic amount will still be there every year.
In fact, since last week, the orders of textile enterprises have increased significantly compared with the previous period. Some dyeing factories have also seen news of long-lost “explosive positions”, and the market has already improved. In terms of polyester raw materials, the prices of both PTA and polyester filaments are currently at a very low position. The average production and sales of polyester factories have also improved somewhat from the previous two months. It seems that they are gaining momentum, perhaps soon. In the future, the price of polyester raw materials will start to rise.
Regardless of whether the current order is good or bad, whether it is the peak season or not, in fact, everyone’s wish is the same, that is, hope that the traditional peak season can be really high season, and the list can be more and more, even if The boss of the Buddha Department, which one does not want to harvest more orders and make the business better when the "Golden Nine" arrives? Although the current peak season is still in a relatively calm state, but hope that not long after, the market will improve, the peak season is coming soon, textile owners will wait patiently.
