Poly Fiber Marketing Slacks Fabric Sale Still Thrives

      This week, fabric sale in the market is still thriving, with the start of spring and summer fabric busy season, autumn and winter apparel and home textile fabrics orders also follows up. After visiting the market, I found that order quantity shows an up trend. On fabric price, this week, some kind of fabrics marked price up by 0.1-0.2 CNY/m in compare with that of last weekend, including poly taffeta, imitated memory fabric, cotton fabric and etc.

      On sale, common chemical fabrics like 144T peach skin velvet, 288T taslon and etc sales well. See from recent fabric sale, sales volume is increasing continually. But sales volume is relatively calm down after the raise up of previous days. Now it is stabilized. Large sales volume products like 100D plain velvet fabric, its outlook, texture, hand feeling and style, all cater for the fashion factors, not only has good hand feeling, light weight, but also has new style and phozy and not wrinkle. It is mainly used for casual wear, business wear and business suit, pants. Its greige is priced at 6.75CNY/m. Other fabrics like slub yarn fabric also sales well, among which, the 18 slub yarn corduroy fabric sales well on the market. As for this fabric, its bars are even distributed, specially suit for spring and summer casual wear, pants manufacturing, and not it is quoted at 13.55 CNY/m; in addition, another kind of summer fabric, slubbed velvet shows an up trend of sales volume. Slubbed velvet fabric is one of the hot-selling fabrics on the first half of this year. The fabric has combined advantages of three kinds of fabrics, which has soft hand feeling, good shape, and good moisture absorption. Its weft slub yarn forms a rugged style. Now the market quotation is at 6.45CNY/m or so. In addition, business in coating factories also prospered. According to the news from the market, anti-UV fabrics demands increased apparently, its selling point is to coat a layer of anti-UV coating, which not only have the function of the original fabric, but also add a new selling point. So, it is greatly welcomed by customers. On lining fabrics, this week, demand for 320T high density taffeta increased greatly. Although it is still not the highest density taffeta, its density is doubled in compare with the common 170T and 190T taffeta. For the high density, and relative thin fiber, its quality is hard to control, now 320T taffeta is mainly exported to Europe. Moreover, after the stock of taffeta in previous days, it causes a tense in imitated memory fabric supply, which is mainly due to the great increasing demand for pants making. See from order requirement, dark colored fabrics are the most favored. Now even cash take procure still have to wait in line.

      On operation rate, water jet looms, air jet looms are kept at 70%-80%, tricot machine rate is at 90% or so.

      See from chemical fiber, this week, PTA and PX price increase hard, for the low demand of weaving factories, cost increase that inhibit PTA price up. PTA price is possibly to be adjusted. On spot goods, Eastern China PTA quotation stabilized, which is quoted around 11400CNY/t. The inquiring atmosphere is not optimistic; the mainstream strike price is around 11300CNY/t.

      In the downstream, chemical fiber plants encounter with the difficulty of capital circulation, in spite of the good profit margin of PTA manufacturing. Now, the downstream chemical fiber plants stocks high, generally of a 20-day amount. For the load shedding, loom operation is affected, which make the depressed material procure even depressed. According to the survey for some chemical fiber plants, they had to stop to check and repair for stock pressure. At the end of this week, semi bright poly chips, half cash, half take, self picking price is stroke at 13600CNY/t, and bright poly chips, half cash, half take, and self picking price is stroke at 13500CNY/t. The poly fiber market is generally overwhelmed with a straddle attitude, now POY75D/72F is quoted at 17650CNY/t, POY 150D/144F (Acceptance in 3 months) is quoted at 15400CNY/t, FDY50D/24F (Acceptance in 6 months) is quoted at 19600CNY/t, and DTY150D/48F is quoted at 18000CNY/t. Poly fiber price will continue its weak tendency.

      See from recent cocoon silk index graph, after March, not only various chemical fabric sale rise, but also the silk fabric sale rise gradually. Now spring cocoon purchase price has risen to 40CNY/kg, and the following cocoon fiber price will be affected by many factors. There are three main factors that influence cocoon price: firstly, the long-term stable cocoon price, Secondly, the delayed time-to-market, thirdly, the free tax and tax cut policy in India. See from the current cocoon silk products sale trend, spring cocoon production will not reduce and the price will not cut. Cocoon silk products will continue its vigor of last year.
