Cotton Fabric Rose To High-End High-End Clothing

The trend of rising prices of cotton fabrics is rising again. The tide has pushed some garment factories in Dongguan to the cusp. Many garment manufacturers shouted: "cotton prices are rising and clothing costs are rising. Now the pressure is too great."

The cost of cloth is rising and orders can not be reached.

Since the beginning of the year, cotton prices have risen sharply due to the reduction of cotton production in the main cotton producing areas such as Xinjiang. The rise in cotton prices has led to an increase in cotton prices. The garments made of cotton cloth have become the next successor to cotton prices.

Many garment manufacturers shouted: "cotton prices are rising, our clothing costs are rising, and now the pressure is too great." Liang Zhuguang, vice president of Dongguan textile and garment industry association, said: "with the price of long tube cotton, now the price per ton has increased by nearly 3000 yuan to 5000 yuan over the same period last year, and some cotton prices have increased to 3 yuan."

According to the China Cotton store information, in July 9th, the average price of the standard grade cotton in the mainland was 18364 yuan / ton, up 0.4% from the previous week, or 0.7 percentage points lower than the previous week.

The cotton price rise has finally been transmitted to the garment manufacturers with cotton cloth as raw materials. Therefore, the clothing factories all hope that the price of the garment can have a certain rising space. But the market does not seem to buy it. Many garment factories and garment buyers are unable to reach agreement on price, and orders have slipped. Dongguan textile import and Export Co., Ltd., Mr. Tan said that the recent export of clothing has also declined.

Taori is a garment factory manager who has been engaged in clothing sales for a long time in our city. He said: "in fact, we are not afraid that cotton prices will continue to rise and dare not take orders. The most important thing is that our production costs have gone up, but the price of garments can not be improved correspondingly, which leads to no agreement with purchasers, and orders have also decreased somewhat, but the amount of reduction is not great."

   Purchase advanced locomotives for 24 hours

In order to overcome the problem of rising costs caused by the increase in cloth prices, increasing productivity and reducing labor costs has been the choice of many enterprises.

"Now many garment factories are starting to purchase imported car machines to increase production efficiency and achieve the goal of reducing staff and increasing efficiency. The efficiency of the imported car is 2 times higher than that of the original vehicle -3 times. Moreover, because workers can not be arbitrarily asked to work overtime, and overtime work has to pay overtime for the lathe workers. We had to let the car run for 24 hours, and the lathe operator took turns. Liang Zhuguang said that the introduction of advanced car engines, many garment factories have also reduced the number of lathe workers, reducing a certain cost pressure.

Abandon low-end clothing and enter the middle and high-end market.

In addition, in order to ensure that enterprises have enough profit margins to maintain the operation of enterprises, some enterprises in our city have begun to march from low-end clothing products to medium and high-end garments, gradually reducing the production of low-grade clothing and increasing the output of medium and high grade garments. "Mainly from the design style and fabric texture, I hope to be able to make a breakthrough. But the market of middle and high grade garments is limited and the competition is very large. We are now developing step by step, which is rather difficult. The manager of a famous clothing enterprise in our city is so exclaimed.
