Difficult to raise costs and purchase difficulties Tianjin clothing stores have closed down

The China Network and Binhai High-tech reporter recently visited the Da Hutong Clothing Wholesale Market and a number of clothing markets in the Nankai District, and found that some merchants have closed the transfer. The relevant personnel explained that the price of cotton ** has reached a new high, which has already affected downstream garment companies and wholesalers. Many garment companies have stopped production, and wholesalers have not entered the market and can only close their doors.

A few days ago, the reporter visited a number of wholesale markets in Da Hutong. It was discovered that the first month was faster and many merchants still closed their doors. A clothing wholesale merchant introduced that many businesses around the door did not open because "the store will not be opened any longer. Getting the goods from the upper reaches is too expensive and not worthwhile." Mr. Chen, a garment merchant on Binjiang Road, introduced that he has been from Fujian and Guangdong. Springs and other places to wholesale, this year found a lot of price increases, the previous unit price of 100 yuan is very good to take, and now can not get it. This year also found that many production companies have stopped production, and high prices have not arrived yet.

According to industry insiders, this round of apparel price hikes is related to the surge in cotton prices last year. Last year, the cotton price rose from about 16,000 yuan to about 32,000 yuan. From January this year, cotton ** rebounded strongly and reached a record high of 34,870 yuan. Throughout the entire process, textile and garment companies did not dare to buy raw materials. When they needed to buy cotton, they again rose, resulting in a significant increase in costs. Ultimately, many companies could only make orders out of pocket or close their doors directly.

According to a well-known brand clothing company of Binjiang Commercial Building, the price of raw materials is transmitted to the clothing market for a certain period, generally 6 to 9 months. It is expected that this year's spring will have a clear trend of rising prices. In summer and autumn, prices may be higher. To digest the impact of raw materials on clothing prices, clothing companies can take the "brand" line, improve the positioning of clothing, sales channels, after-sales service, etc., weaken the raw materials, so that the company's ability to resist risks is stronger.
