This year, Shandong port

Cotton import price

Following the breakthrough of the US $1800 mark per ton in June, the average import price in July reached US $1912 / ton, and it continued to refresh its highest level since January 2003.

Qingdao customs analysis thinks that the high cotton price is approaching the limit of spinning enterprises, and the price of domestic autumn and winter clothing.

Rise

The pressure is outstanding.

Since the beginning of this year, the monthly import volume of cotton at Shandong port has been rising and falling.

March

Imported

The annual peak value reached 154 thousand tons, and the monthly import volume gradually declined thereafter.

With the arrival of the cotton consumption off-season, with the tightening of global cotton supply and the strengthening of the market's attention to cotton throwing and watching, the import volume of cotton at Shandong port began to decline since June. In July, 60 thousand tons of cotton were imported in July, down 17.7% compared to the same period last year, and the ratio fell by 22.4%, the lowest since October 2009.

At the same time, the monthly average import price of cotton at the port of Shandong has gone up all the way since reaching 1717 US dollars / ton in January this year. Following the breakthrough of 1800 US dollars per ton in June, the average import price in July rose to a record high, reaching 1912 US dollars / ton, up 44.1% compared with the same period last year, rising 3.5% over the same period, continuing to refresh the highest record since January 2003.

According to Qingdao customs analysis, the main reason for the increase in cotton imports at Shandong port in the first 7 months of this year is that China's textile industry has maintained rapid growth in the first half of this year, and the domestic cotton supply gap has expanded.

At the same time, the supply of cotton in the world is in short supply, and the international cotton price has risen sharply.

It is noteworthy that the purchasing cost of high priced raw materials is close to the limit of textile and garment enterprises. Some enterprises reduce production scale and formulate measures to raise the price of finished garments.

It is reported that this year, brand clothing retail sales prices have generally risen 10-15%.

Because of the rising cotton pressure and the sometimes slow motion of the downward pmission, plus the autumn and winter clothing materials far exceeding the summer products, the wholesale price of clothing products in autumn and winter is expected to increase by 10-15% this autumn.

At that time, the export of textile and clothing will also be adversely affected.
