Printing and dyeing factories shut down the supply of fabrics, the price of home textile products rose to a fixed trend

A number of home textiles merchants said that since August, the price of upstream fabrics has risen and then increased, and the average increase has reached 5%. This round of price hikes has just begun.

It is understood that the production of home textile products mainly includes the following links: cotton-yarn-cloth-home textile products. Among them, the mid-stream cloth merchants bought the grey cloth (for the natural cotton cloth for printing and dyeing processing, dyed the factory according to different needs, and then sold the fabric to the downstream home textile manufacturer, and the home textile manufacturer processed it to make bedding. The price surge was mainly caused by the tight closure of printing and dyeing factories and the tight supply of fabrics.

Cai Xiangyang, the head of Nantong Niandie Home Textiles, said that due to environmental pressure, printing and dyeing factories began to shut down in August. Even if there are grey cloths, there is no way for printing and dyeing, resulting in a large shortage of fabrics. The home textile industry has a huge demand for fabrics. With the peak season in the second half of the year, it is likely that the stocks will be out of stock. “The price increase of home textiles has become an inevitable trend, and it is coming earlier than last year. It is estimated that it will rise in full in October.”

Printing and dyeing factory shut down: a large shortage of fabric supplies, prices have risen

Judging from the overall trend of home textiles this year, it has experienced a price surge in the first half of the year. After the Spring Festival, fabrics have risen sharply, and home textile manufacturers have generally raised their prices. After the news of the news, the rise in fabric prices at that time was mainly due to the general increase driven by the rise in commodity prices, as well as the large number of goods sold by cloth dealers. Since then, fabric prices have risen and fallen, relatively stable, and have little impact on downstream home textiles.

After entering August, the home textile market ushered in a new wave of price increases. Cai Xiangyang told the news: "It is different from the situation in the first half of the year. Even if the cloth dealers are not good at the goods, because they have a lot of grey cloths, there is no place to dye them."

From the timeline, it is just around August, and the environmental protection work has been carried out in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces where textiles are concentrated. Many printing and dyeing enterprises in Wuxi, Nantong, Suzhou, Shaoxing, etc. were raided, and due to environmental protection, the power was cut off, sealed, completely shut down, and even removed. According to local media reports, Wuxi Liangxi District has achieved a comprehensive “clearing” of 13 printing and dyeing and electroplating enterprises in the whole district; Nantong Tongzhou has implemented the demolition of 9 printing and dyeing chemical enterprises; Suzhou Wujiang has implemented “four stops for sewage treatment plants and printing and dyeing enterprises”. A "wheeling method."

It is reported that traditional textile printing and dyeing enterprises have the characteristics of high environmental load and high energy consumption, and have become the key targets for environmental protection in many places. Taking Nantong, the country's first home textile city, as an example, according to Nantong TV, recently, the director of Nantong Environmental Protection Bureau led a team to inspect the sewage treatment and discharge management of printing and dyeing enterprises, and found that many companies have private hoses for nighttime sewage discharge. The sewage disposal equipment is shut down, the biochemical treatment is not up to standard, and so on, and it faces environmental protection.

The large number of closures in the printing and dyeing factory directly led to a sharp drop in fabric production and an increase in prices. A salesman of a fabric manufacturer has repeatedly notified Cai Xiangyang: "Because of the shortage of supply, the price of fabrics continues to rise. All products are subject to the same day's quotation!" The price of fabrics appears one day a day. From August to now, the increase rate is around 5%. .

Similar to the paper price hike, due to the lack of upstream supply, downstream home textile merchants also need to pay in advance to purchase fabrics. Yuan Chenbo said: "The shortage of goods in the second half of the year should be relatively frequent, and can only be stocked in advance, but because it is not possible to make monthly payments and defaults, for small factories, it is still a test of cash flow."

In this round of price hikes, the mid-stream cloth dealers appear to be more "hard". "There is no bargaining at all. It is not bad to have goods. It is not necessarily bought with money, which is even worse than the previous wave of price increases." Cai Xiangyang said.

Aftermarket: home textiles prices rose to a fixed trend

The above merchants have said that the rise in fabric prices has pushed up the price of home textiles. Judging from the current situation, the price hike has just begun, and the market will increase even more.

Cai Xiangyang said: "Because the first few months are the off-season of the home textile industry, there are still some stocks in the business, so there is no general price increase. Only a few individual businesses have gone up, such as 60 yuan / set of bedding products rose by 3 yuan, the increase It's not very big. But I feel that the price increase has just begun. As the upstream out of stock is more serious, and the industry enters the peak season, the price increase is certain!"

When asked if the price increase will affect sales, Cai Xiangyang unexpectedly performed very calmly, because the cost is bound to be passed on to consumers: "The cost is rising, the home textiles will definitely rise, the market is the same, for consumption. In fact, the difference is not big.” Yuan Chenbo also said that consumers of home textile products are not particularly sensitive to price.

Combined with the judgment of the above merchants, it is only a matter of time before the upstream fabric price is transmitted downward. In the current wave of price hikes, will the rise in paper prices and fabric prices brought about by environmental pressures bring inflationary pressure? Jin Hao, director of the School of Economics of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, is relatively optimistic about this: “From the perspective of industry attributes, it may affect the PPI index more. The transmission to CPI requires a certain process, and whether it will affect CPI in the end depends on consumers. The choice, the price increase of these products is not a big pressure on the rise of CPI."

Jin Min further stated that a large number of enterprises that shut down heavy polluting may have an impact on the macro economy in the short term, but letting the withdrawal of heavy pollution leave the enterprises with low pollution and high technology level is beneficial in the long run, in line with green. The road to development. In the process of transformation, it is bound to experience the pain of the industry, but this can promote the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry, and will also promote the transformation of consumer perceptions. However, in the process of implementing policies in various places, we must pay attention to consistency, while shutting down backward production capacity, we must not allow backward production capacity to be transferred to other places.
