Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the printing and dyeing enterprises in Fujian Province started the “first shot” of the price increase of the New Year. They have released the information on the increase of dyeing fees. The price adjustment has increased in varying degrees according to the thickness and color depth of the fabric, such as thick cloth. White plus 800 yuan / ton, shallow and medium depth plus 1,500 yuan / ton; thin cloth, white plus 1500 ~ 2000 yuan / ton, shallow medium and deep plus 2000 ~ 3000 yuan / ton.

Ups and downs

Main cost increase

"Overburden", "According to market conditions", "Unified price increase"... At the beginning of the Year of the Pig, these words are filled in the notice of quotation of Fujian printing and dyeing enterprises, covering a wide range of fabrics, as if it were the same as last year. It is imperative.

Investigating the main reason for the increase in dyeing fees in the Fujian area, industry insiders said that it is nothing more than the recent sharp rise in dyes, the continuous increase in wages and wages of workers, and the heavy burden on enterprises, which has forced the price of dyeing to be raised at the beginning of the new year.

The rise in the price of dyes will undoubtedly bring some pressure on printing and dyeing companies. In addition, the follow-up trend of the market has also affected the driving force of the price increase of Fujian printing and dyeing enterprises. After the Spring Festival, the printing and dyeing industry will enter the production season of “Golden Three Silver Four”, and orders received will increase. Moreover, after market feedback, some printing and dyeing enterprises have not completed orders before the Spring Festival this year, which has caused the printing and dyeing enterprises to have great confidence in the fabric market in the first half of the year. In addition, it is worth noting that due to the complete suspension of production of 246 printing and dyeing enterprises in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong, a considerable number of orders have been transferred to the Fujian area.

In addition, industry insiders also pointed out that in recent years, environmental protection has always been a sharp edge hanging on the top of the enterprise. Printing and dyeing enterprises are limited in frequency, production, shutdown, and production. The limited production capacity of printing and dyeing enterprises has also become the fuse for the increase in dyeing fees in recent years.

Contradictory escalation

Dyeing factory pressure increased

The rise in dyeing fees in Fujian has become a reality, so what about the printing and dyeing factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

It is understood that the textile enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are currently in the early stages of resuming work, the workers are not all in place, the positions are also vacant, and everything is not on the right track. Although the salesman has begun to take orders and the blanks are in the warehouse, the actual dyeing production has not yet begun. In the case of many unstable factors, printing and dyeing companies do not seem to have considered the price increase, and there is not much notice of the price increase.

Although the dyeing fee has not been mobilized for the time being, the person in charge of the relevant printing and dyeing enterprises has a "bitter water" in the face of rising cost and price.

Li Chuanhai, who has been engaged in the printing and dyeing industry for more than 20 years, is the president of Zhejiang Printing and Dyeing Industry Association. Last year, Li Chuanhai not only faced the market dilemma that came two months after the peak season, but also made him a headache. He also represented the printing and dyeing enterprises and the upstream and downstream industries that should cooperate and win-win. ". Li Chuanhai said that since 2018, the frequent increase in prices of upstream dye companies has made printing and dyeing enterprises somewhat unbearable. After "coal changed to gas", natural gas prices have risen a lot. "It’s hard to wait for the company to reduce the price, but the upstream company will raise the price. Not only are these benefits not good, but our profits can’t hold back.”

Fu Jianlin, chairman of Shaoxing Shengxin Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. said: “In the past, dyes only accounted for about 15% of the company's total cost, and now can account for 22%.” In his view, the overall profit of the dye chemical industry in 2018 is ideal. Nowadays, several large-scale enterprises are still joining forces to increase prices.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the dye company told the reason for the price increase: "Despite the comparison of raw material costs, last year's dyes did rise a bit high, but the main reason for this wave of price increases is that the northern Jiangsu and other places have experienced environmental remediation, the market The production capacity has dropped sharply, and the situation of supply is less than demand. The price increase is also a kind of market behavior.” He added: “The company is also burdened with environmental protection and labor cost, and the days are equally difficult.”

According to industry insiders, although the dyeing fees of printing and dyeing enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have not been notified of price adjustment, if the cost pressure of dyeing factories continues to increase, and the same as last year, there will be cases of dyeing factories exploding and queuing, then related enterprises. It is inevitable to make price adjustments.
