Top features: decrease of chemical fiber textile raw materials
In the past year, in the context of the sharp drop in international oil prices, the textile chemical fiber raw materials have dropped sharply, and the domestic bulk textile raw material commodity market has been in a slump, with more decline and less rise. Many enterprise bosses lament that it is like taking a roller coaster ride.
In the field of cotton, since this year, the domestic cotton price has remained at 13000 yuan/ton, only slightly fluctuating, and textile mills have used the coveted low-cost cotton. During the temporary storage period, the domestic cotton price was as high as 19800-20400 yuan/ton, while the imported cotton was only about 13000 yuan/ton. The difference between the internal and external cotton prices was as high as 7000 yuan/ton. The high cost of raw materials made the textile mills generally lose money, and the annual loss was 20-30 million yuan. Many enterprises report that they are making up for the holes in the past few years with the money they have made in the past few years.
In this year, the price of cotton fell by 13000 yuan/ton in the new season, while the cost of imported cotton was about 12000 yuan/ton. The fourth feature: textile enterprises move westward or set up factories in Southeast Asia
In recent years, due to the rising labor costs in China, the advantages of low labor costs in Southeast Asia have emerged. In addition to the tax and policy preferences implemented by various countries in the region, many textile and clothing enterprises have sought gold in Southeast Asia. Investment in Southeast Asia has gradually become a boom, especially in Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and other countries. In 2015, Chinese textile enterprises are also following this trend and integrating into the army of gold digging Southeast Asia. Since this year, dozens of textile enterprises, including Tianhong Textile, Hong Kong Yida Group, Red Bean Group, Lutai Textile, have expanded and built factories in this region. At the same time, textile enterprises in economically developed regions are also deploying to build factories in central and western regions such as Xinjiang.
It is understood that a person in charge of a textile enterprise in Shandong said that their factory currently has branches in Xinjiang, Jiangsu, Taiwan and Vietnam. "We plan to build another factory in India next year." The person in charge said. The choice to set up a factory in Xinjiang is based on Xinjiang's unique raw material resources. The person in charge said that the cotton output and quality of Xinjiang are the best in the world. In particular, Xinjiang has given great support to the cotton industry, with various subsidies amounting to more than 2000 yuan/ton, greatly improving the competitiveness of enterprises. However, they chose to set up factories in Taiwan, because there is no quota limit on Taiwan's imported cotton, so enterprises can use low-cost and high-quality imported cotton. This year, the comprehensive raw material cost is 2000-3000 yuan/ton lower than that of the mainland. However, the shortage is that the labor cost is higher than that of the mainland. However, enterprises have greatly reduced the number of employees through technological innovation. It is well known that Vietnam has chosen to set up factories in Vietnam. Its tax, labor, raw materials, energy, etc. are significantly lower than those in China, occupying cost advantages. The person in charge of the enterprise said that at present, the domestic factories are basically losing money, and only the branches in Taiwan and Vietnam are making money.
What will textile enterprises do in 2016
In the face of the market environment like 2015, we are helpless and pessimistic. It's very simple. Don't wait for the market to get better. Just produce products that can make profits under such a bad environment. As far as the textile industry is concerned, low-quality or ordinary products are really everywhere, and everyone knows it. However, the products with excellent quality, whether in the Chinese market or the world market, are very rare. The rare products are naturally expensive and profitable. Our problem is how to produce excellent products at an ordinary, very low cost.
