The covid-19 pandemic in India continues to be severe, with a total of more than 28 million confirmed cases and more than 300,000 deaths. India is the core of the global textile industry. During the epidemic, a large number of factories were shut down, which not only dragged down the economic recovery of the country, but also affected the supply chain of many industries around the world. The textile industry was one of them. Recently, a large number of textile orders from India have been rushed to China and other countries, but the companies that received the orders said that although the order volume is large, it is not profitable and is in a dilemma.
A person in charge of a large textile company said that the return orders are mainly low-end processing products, mostly "small and short" orders. The order volume and production volume are not large, but the delivery time is short, only 3 weeks, the profit is not high and the risk is not high. Larger, once the epidemic situation improves, these orders will be transferred back. If not, they will accompany the wife and break down.
From 2016 to 2019, the overall operating income and total profits of China's textile industrial enterprises above designated size tended to decline. In 2019, the total operating revenue and profit were 2403.81 billion yuan and 100.9 billion yuan, down 2% and 11% year-on-year.
From January to June 2020, the total operating income and total profits of China's textile industrial enterprises above designated size were 966.94 billion yuan and 40.21 billion yuan respectively, a year-on-year decrease of 15.6% and 5.6% respectively. In 2020, the industry's profit will fall sharply.
In July 2020, China's textile and apparel exports amounted to US$31.294 billion, an increase of 7.79% month-on-month. Among them, the export value of textiles (including textile yarns, fabrics and products) was 15.976 billion US dollars, a decrease of 1.11% from the previous month; the export value of clothing (including clothing and clothing accessories) was 15.317.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 18.97% from the previous month.
The textile industry not only has a decline in profits, but its investment scale has also shrunk. In 2019, China's textile industry's fixed asset investment (excluding rural households) decreased by 8.9% year-on-year, and as of January-July 2020, it fell by 17.4% year-on-year, a significant drop.
The textile industry has always had a large trade volume and a large investment, but the profit is not high, and it is declining year by year. This is a long-standing problem in the textile industry. The average profit level of the textile and apparel industry is around 3%, while the average in coastal areas is around 8%.
The main reason is the increasing cost year by year. First of all, labor costs continue to rise. For example, the wages of shift workers in Anhui, China are 9,500 yuan/month, and in remote areas it is basically around 8,000 yuan/month, which is actually high local wages, but the phenomenon of recruitment difficulties still exists.
Secondly, the textile industry needs a large number of warehouses to stock up raw materials, equipment and finished products. The rent of the workshop is about 200 yuan per square meter; the cost of land is too high.
Finally, logistics costs are not low. Since most polyester factories, printing and dyeing and terminal sales are concentrated in developed coastal cities, if textile companies move to low-cost central areas, they will bear double logistics costs. For example, raw materials will be shipped over 100 yuan/ton, and grey fabrics will be shipped over 0.15 yuan. /Meter.
How to solve the problem of low profits in the textile industry?
Among the above reasons for the sluggish profits of the textile industry, the price increase of upstream materials and the insufficient order quantity are mostly objective factors, which cannot be controlled manually. The only thing that can be controlled is the reduction of textile costs. Among them, land and logistics costs are difficult to control. The solution is to reduce labor costs.
In fact, in the textile process, many textile processes have been mechanically automated, but do not require too much manpower. The links that really consume manpower and have high labor costs are warehousing, handling, inspection, and packaging.
With 50 years of technical precipitation and design experience, Suntech has a number of international top patent technologies, and specializes in providing intelligent textile machinery and equipment involving finished fabric storage, handling, inspection, packaging and other links, mainly including fabric inspection machine, packaging machine, packaging inspection production line, tube-sewing machine,double folding lapping machine,double folding rolling machine,tubular fabric slitting machine, fabric cutting machine, fabric relaxing machine, fabric reversing machine, beam stacker, warp beam lift trolley,cloth roll doffing/dosing trolley and motorized a-frame tractor etc., in Reduce labor in key positions, greatly reduce labor costs, and improve production efficiency.
