Pure Cotton "Shrink", Spinning Enterprises But "Abandon Cotton".

Enterprises: cotton prices rose sharply last year, and now they are still scared.

Fashion Designer: last year and this year, the trend is different.

The original cotton clothing, which is favored by the clothing manufacturers, is difficult to find this year, and the middle and low middle end clothing of the market is decreasing.

This year, cotton products seem a bit unpopular with businesses.

Along with this phenomenon, looking for upstream industry, reporters found that many textile enterprises this year there are many "cotton dump" phenomenon.

Last year, high prices hoarded, dare not purchase this year.

Last year, the highest price of cotton yarn has reached 40000 yuan per ton, making many garment manufacturers really "meat pain".

"Last year to this year almost dare not pick up the list of high cotton content, because it is easy to lose money."

A clothing boss in Shaoxing County told reporters that the number of cotton yarn in his factory this year was 30% less than that of last year.

Many colleagues this year's practice is to use up the storehouse cotton, and whether to purchase or not depends on the needs of the list.

In fact, the rise of cotton prices is also a test of the endurance of international garment enterprises.

Excessive cotton prices have also reduced the demand for cotton content for some multinational customers in fabric selection.

In some foreign trade enterprises of Textile City, many cotton textile fabrics, chemical fiber fabrics and so on are now receiving more and more cotton, and less and less pure cotton.

Shen manager of Shaoxing Sampson Trading Co., Ltd. told reporters: "women's clothes are rarely used with pure cotton because of fashion needs.

And the most cotton t-shirts are gradually replaced by artificial cotton or cotton polyester blended, and the cost can be reduced a lot.

Although many textile enterprises attributed the shrinkage of pure cotton to high cotton prices, the reporter noted that cotton prices have plunged sharply this year due to the sharp decline in demand for cotton yarn.

Recently, the price of imported cotton is 21000 yuan to 22000 yuan per ton, and the price of Xinjiang grade three cotton is about 20000 yuan / ton.

The price of Xinjiang grade three cotton has dropped by more than 13000 yuan / ton compared with the highest price of last year.

"Since last year, almost

"The current trade situation is changing. Orders from European and American countries are pferring to some countries with lower labor costs, such as Africa, and there is an increasing demand rate for banks to make loans difficult for many enterprises."

The industry insider said.

"No money, cotton prices fell, and dare not buy easily."

A textile owner in Keqiao said.

"In the first half of last year, due to the good trade situation, Shaoxing added a lot of small businesses.

Changes in dressing concept and living environment

"Pure cotton clothes do not reflect the type of clothing."

As a local garment manufacturer of high-end brand in Shaoxing, Zhang Shui flower, director of the product development department of Shaoxing's Fangyuan company, said sharply.

"Pure cotton clothing is very soft, which is its advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

In the face of increasingly demanding fashion women's clothing market, it has no other alternative fabrics.

Zhang Shuihua told reporters that people's dressing concept has changed a lot in the past, in addition to the pursuit of comfort, but also beautiful.

Especially in summer, women's clothing is now popular and elegant, chiffon, fiber and other fabrics can meet this requirement, instead of cotton products.

"As a more quality clothing company, we have more cotton products in summer over the past few years, but in the past few years, we are also interested in high quality alternative fabrics in product development."

"More importantly, some of the alternatives now are constantly improving, avoiding weaknesses and growing, and achieving some of the advantages of pure cotton products, such as smooth and soft."

Zhang Shuihua said.

"Another important reason for the popularity of new fabrics instead of pure cotton is that with the changing living conditions."

An industry source said that in air-conditioned environment, pure cotton and polyester fiber and other substitutes are very cool, and the latter is even cooler than the former.

The advantages of water absorption and breathability of cotton are not easily reflected.
