"Crazy Disease" Spread The Textile Industry &Nbsp; &Nbsp; "Bottom Of The Box" Has Become A Hot Selling Product.

Although the argument of "a thousand years of extreme cold" has drawn controversy, textile The price jump is an indisputable fact. From underwear, shoes and socks to clothing in autumn and winter, from bedclothes to sofa curtains, a "crazy disease" began to spread in all areas related to the word "textile". Gradually, the traced eyes are on the cotton producing area, which seems to be the main culprit of this "group price increase syndrome".

Indeed, the purchase price of seed cotton has increased from less than 2 yuan per catty last year to 6.2 yuan per kilogram, or even higher. lint Prices also changed from last year's 10 thousand yuan a ton of cheap goods to 25000 yuan per ton, but when I visited many major cotton producing areas in the province, I found that the real driving force of the current price rise seems to be hidden deeper.

Although the aura of "blue sky" has long been dim, the textile industry is undoubtedly an important part of Qingdao's industrial structure. Nearly 800 Textile Enterprises above Designated Size and numerous small and medium-sized textile enterprises create tens of billions of industrial value annually. However, this year's cold wind has blows on the textile industry of Qingdao too early. The first adverse reaction is small and medium enterprises, followed by large ones. Cotton mill A "bad cold" has also appeared.

"Bottom of the box" sells better than new ones.

When I walked into the shopping mall in Shinan District in October 19th, it was already "chilling". Compared with the same period last year, this year's new autumn and winter clothing showed a collective price increase, and the rate of increase was amazing.

"Before October was the best selling season for autumn wear, this year's sales are obviously not as good as last year." Miss Choi, who specializes in casual wear, told the author that the price of clothing brands such as Qian Yi and Shilin, which she represented this year, has seen a rise in price, and the increase is close to 20%. Such a huge increase is not only unacceptable to consumers, but also difficult for her to accept. "Prices are rising all the time. If we go up a little bit, we still can't see anything, but we can go up so much that consumers will not buy it." In fact, Miss Cui is also a bitter water. This price increase is not an accidental act of agents or individual brands, but an industrial price adjustment caused by raw materials. Its magnitude and scale can be said to be unprecedented in the clothing industry. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the AI Plaza told the author that the price increase in autumn and winter this year was mainly due to the increase in manufacturers' prices, and the volume of business went up and up, and the scale was not limited to individual brands or categories. "Now many businessmen even take out some old autumn and winter clothes to sell, and the sales are good, because the price of autumn and winter clothing is too high this year, even if they want to sell, retailers will have to dilute profits."

The impact of this "Millennium cold" is much more than that. The clothing industry is not the most seriously affected area. The situation of home textile industry which is more closely linked to cotton is even more worrying. In a bedding processing shop in Shui Gou Gou, a single large red bed sheet with a width of 1.5 meters and 2 meters is now priced at 150 yuan. "If you think it's expensive, you can buy it yourself, and I guarantee that my handicraft fee will not rise at all compared with last year." Shopkeeper Mr. Deng told me that the price of the cloth used in the big red sheet has reached 35 yuan per meter this year, while the cloth of the same size last year was only 16 yuan per meter. It is precisely because of the doubling of the price of cloth that the business of Deng's boss is difficult to do. "Now I usually do not pick up the work of wrapping materials. On the one hand, the price is too high to make people feel that I am black. On the other hand, I do not want to run out of materials on hand." Deng's boss said that the cloth is no longer a price per day, or even changed in the afternoon. He did not want to feed at this time, for fear that he would fall in the palm of his money.
