A few days ago, China Textile Machinery Association investigated the operation of 95 key enterprises in spinning machinery, weaving and weaving preparation machinery, knitting machinery, printing and dyeing machinery, chemical fiber and non-woven machinery and other industries. The survey shows that the order situation of enterprises in the third quarter of 2020 is generally better than that in the second quarter of 2020. The impact of the domestic epidemic is gradually easing.
Statistics show that from January to September 2020, one-third of the surveyed enterprises' orders are higher than those in 2019, and 67% of them are lower than those in the same period of 2019. Among them, 11% enterprises' orders have a serious decline, with a decline rate of more than 50%. The sales price of the main products of the enterprise showed a slight decline. Nearly 50% of the enterprises said that the prices were flat compared with the same period in 2019. The enterprises with lower prices were mainly spinning machinery, weaving machinery and knitting machinery enterprises, while the enterprises with higher prices were mostly dyeing and finishing enterprises.
Industry leader, steady operation
Since 2020, the market performance of various segments of textile machinery industry is different. The water jet loom in weaving machinery, flat knitting machine in knitting machinery and texturing equipment in chemical fiber machinery have a large decline; the market of warp knitting machine, printing and dyeing machinery and chemical fiber filament spinning equipment is relatively stable; the nonwoven equipment market has a substantial growth. Since the third quarter, the market segments have shown a trend of accelerated recovery, and the overall operation index of the textile machinery industry has continued to recover.
At present, the domestic textile machinery market share is between 70% - 80%, and the average annual export growth rate is 5.19%. The proportion of China's textile machinery export in the total global textile machinery export is gradually increasing. In 2019, China's textile machinery export will reach US $3.78 billion, ranking first in the world. The data show that China's textile machinery has strong market competitiveness.
The person in charge of the Textile Machinery Association told reporters that in the first three quarters of 2020, the main problems encountered by textile machinery enterprises in production and operation are mainly manifested in insufficient domestic and foreign market demand, high pressure of cost rise, blocked sales channels and customer cancellation of orders, difficulties in purchasing raw and auxiliary materials, great pressure of energy saving and emission reduction, and obvious increase in the proportion of RMB exchange rate fluctuation compared with the second quarter of 2020.
Nevertheless, the survey data still show that in the case of the overall adjustment of the textile machinery industry in 2020, the operation of the industry's leading enterprises is more stable, better able to cope with market fluctuations, and the overall performance of business indicators is more prominent.
Printing and dyeing machinery is on the rise
With the effective prevention and control of the national epidemic situation, the printing and dyeing machinery industry has gradually overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic situation, maintained stable production operation, and gradually improved the overall operation. At the same time, relying on the advantages of the complete industrial chain and supply chain system of China's textile industry, it has effectively made up for the international supply chain gap.
According to the survey statistics of Textile Machinery Association, affected by the epidemic situation, in the first quarter of 2020, the printing and dyeing machinery industry enterprises were seriously short of labor, the cancellation or postponement of orders were common, the export was blocked, the market demand was reduced, and the number of new orders was reduced. Most of the enterprises' orders came from before the epidemic. With the positive results of domestic epidemic prevention and control, the domestic demand market will gradually recover from April 2020, and the production capacity and orders of various host machines will continue to rise in the second and third quarters of 2020.
Statistics show that from January to September 2020, the domestic main pretreatment equipment market is in good condition in the third quarter. According to the statistics, 33 mercerizing machines were sold in key enterprises, an increase of about 18% over the same period of last year, 55 desizing, scouring and bleaching combined machines were sold, a decrease of about 9% over the same period of 2019, and 80 washing machines were sold, basically the same as the same period of 2019. Most enterprises reported that the orders for pretreatment equipment were good, and the normal delivery of export orders was affected by the epidemic situation, but the domestic market made up for the loss of export orders caused by the epidemic situation.
From the market situation in the first three quarters of 2020, the traditional printing equipment is better, the digital direct jet printing equipment is basically the same as that in 2019, and the high-speed paper beating equipment is more than 10% higher than that in 2019. The digital printing equipment is relatively flexible, which can better adapt to the market demand of small batch and multi batch orders during the epidemic period. The total sales volume of setting machines is nearly 900, which is about 10% lower than that of the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2020, the capacity of setting machine will be basically restored, with a month on month growth of nearly 40% compared with the second quarter of 2020.
According to another report, affected by the epidemic situation, India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and other traditional textile machinery export markets in China fell significantly. Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Shandong are the top five provinces in terms of export, with an export value of 556 million US dollars, accounting for 79.85% of the total export value of printing and dyeing finishing machinery.
Spinning machinery began to pick up
From the statistical data of the first three quarters of 2020, it can be seen that affected by the epidemic situation, the total demand of domestic and foreign spinning machinery market is low. The sales volume of all kinds of main machines and special parts decreased to varying degrees; among the imported equipment, only the air-jet vortex spinning equipment is still growing, indicating that the domestic demand for air-jet vortex spinning is still hot.
Due to the persistence of the epidemic in foreign countries, the import and export logistics and personnel flow are difficult, the economic recovery is still slow, and the recovery of the export market still needs a long time. In the case of sustained and stable domestic epidemic, the potential of domestic demand is constantly released, and some foreign textile orders are transferred to China. After July 2020, the market of textile enterprises will gradually pick up, the demand for equipment and accessories will gradually increase, and the orders of spinning machinery enterprises will gradually pick up from August 2020.
Relevant data show that in the first three quarters of 2020, about 1500 high-speed carding machines will be sold; about 900 drawing frames with autoleveller will be sold, accounting for 56.3% of the total; about 220 roving frames with roving device will be sold, accounting for 61.1% of the total; about 1.02 million spindles will be sold for long cars (with collective doffing device), accounting for 81% of the total number of spinning frames; about 2.06 million spindles will be sold for compact spinning device, a year-on-year increase 1%.
Chemical fiber machinery
Novel coronavirus pneumonia and the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia in the first quarter of 2020 caused the chemical fiber equipment enterprises to fail to resume their normal production and production. In response to the need for epidemic and epidemic prevention, some chemical fiber machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises adjusted their product direction and actively transferred production related equipment.
In the first three quarters of 2020, the shipment of polyester, nylon and other filament spinning machines was about 11000 spinning positions, an increase of 15.78% compared with the same period in 2019; the shipment of high-speed texturing machines was about 840, a decrease of 40% compared with the same period in 2019. The order of texturing machine has declined, but it has rebounded significantly since the third quarter of 2020. With the effective control of COVID-19 in the country, the process of resuming business and resuming production will accelerate, and the whole year will rebound. The new production capacity of polyester staple fiber equipment is about 230000 tons, which is 48.88% lower than that of 2019. The new production capacity of complete sets of viscose equipment increased compared with last year.
A person in charge of the Textile Machinery Association said that at present, 639 textile machinery enterprises above Designated Size in the industry have achieved an operating income of 47.704 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.04%, and the growth rate has decreased by 19.073 percentage points compared with the same period last year. In the first three quarters of 2020, the decline rate of operating revenue narrowed by 0.98 percentage points compared with that in the first half of the year.
