Recently, all textile factories have resumed normal production, and the output has increased significantly. However, the end customers are not in a high mood to take the goods. 60% of the round machine industry started, and 70-75% of the warp knitting industry started, so we should wait and see. The number of fabrics in the market has decreased significantly compared with that in the past few years, especially the grey cloth produced with high price raw materials. The downstream market has a strong wait-and-see mentality, and the sales volume is shrinking. At present, the operating rate in Shengze is about 80%. Because the market has slowed down, the overall grey cloth inventory is now stable at about 38 days.

Business analysts believe that the cost support is not strong, the terminal market is not high mood to take goods, enterprises mainly to return funds to inventory, trading atmosphere is flat. It is expected that in the short term, the price of spandex is stable and weak.
