In May, market conditions began to have a different voice. Although most companies still report that orders have shrunk year-on-year and production and sales are still difficult to level, some companies have begun to slowly get on track.
Some time ago, after the U.S. acted as the ultimate killer for the Huawei incident, the trend of Sino-U.S. Trade relations began to be included as one of the events of concern to textile people. However, the recovery of terminal demand was slow and the order placement of foreign trade remained sluggish. The industry's impact is not great. Not only that, but recently, demand in the US market has slowly recovered.
Recently, Mr. Zhang, a weaving company that specializes in home textile products, told the editor: "We have a better order situation recently, and the products in the factory are too late to make, mainly to make home textile products, which are supplied to Wal-Mart in the United States. There is basically no inventory in the near future. Other customers have not picked up, and now only this one customer, the order volume is relatively large. "
At the same time, another trader doing home textiles and apparel fabrics also said: "Recently, we have received orders for home textiles sold to the United States. Although the volume is not large, it is still larger than the previous volume. This is the slow recovery of foreign trade. A signal. "
Due to the commercial shutdown of major export markets such as the United States and Europe, consumer demand has been weak. Since late March, the export orders of Chinese textile companies have dropped sharply, overseas customers have cancelled orders, and delayed receipts have continued to increase.
According to customs data, total exports of textiles and apparel in the first quarter were US $ 47.88 billion, down 17.8% year-on-year. Among them, textile exports were US $ 24.04 billion, down 15.3% year-on-year; clothing exports were US $ 23.84 billion, down 20.2% year-on-year. In the first quarter, China's textile and apparel exports to the United States, Japan and the EU decreased by 29.2%, 16.8% and 14.3% respectively year-on-year.
Entering May, the market has picked up slightly, and the goods have also improved from the previous period. According to the statistics of China Silk Capital, the current inventory of grey cloths in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has decreased compared with the previous period, and the inventory of grey cloths is now concentrated around 41 days.
As a part of conventional textile products, home textile products have recently begun to recover slowly. The editor believes that there are two reasons.
01
The number of people diagnosed with the epidemic in the United States exceeds 1.61 million cases, and the consumption of medical sheets and other materials is large
According to the new real-time statistics of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 17:30 on May 23, EST, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 1.61 million, 1618471, and 96875 deaths .
The number of confirmed cases and death cases in the United States is increasing day by day. The consumption of hospital bed sheets and quilt covers is huge. Due to the particularity of the new crown epidemic, these bed sheets and quilt covers cannot be reused and can only be used as disposable products. Judging from the current situation in the United States, the purchase of home textile supplies by hospitals is just like the hot "shroud bag" at the time, which is a product gap derived from the epidemic.
02
Early orders are slow, and orders are currently released
In the early stage, affected by the epidemic, international logistics and demand were basically in a state of suspension, and foreign trade orders were almost stagnation. Although the epidemic situation in foreign countries is still spreading, many countries have reopened their economic activities on the basis of basic control of the epidemic situation, and international logistics is gradually recovering.
In addition, July and August are the off-season textile season, and the foreign trade orders in the second half of the year are mostly placed in May and June. It is now a good time point. Then the orders cancelled or delayed by the epidemic factors or start at this time period Focus on release.

Although the situation of some enterprises shows that the foreign trade market is slowly recovering, we still cannot ignore the global economy's slump under the pressure of the epidemic and the global market's demand for textiles has not increased significantly, plus the textile market itself has overcapacity and low capacity. Price competition, even if demand begins to recover, is scattered in the hands of every textile man, but very little.
