Dalian Market Downturn, Mink Clothing Prices Plummeted

"Is it going to be a cold winter? At least now it looks cold, cold, and cold."

Yesterday, Tan Xin, a mink operator in Dalian, smiled while he looked at the weather forecast on his cell phone.

Obviously, the next cooling weather made him in a good mood.

Ever since he had been in the mink garment business, he had a "cold heart" in winter every year.

Last week, Dalian encountered the "coldest week", and now it will be a few days of cooling. Can this kind of cold weather save the "survival crisis" of mink and down garments and other clothing? What is the unusual cold early winter effect on the mink and other garment industries?

Recently, with the cold wind and snow, the price of Dalian mink has picked up slightly.

"At present, the mainstream price of mink in Dalian is about 120 yuan each, and the mink skin is about 170 yuan each, which is 15 yuan higher than the price in early October, and this small increase is mainly due to the recent cold weather."

Zhang Zhiming, honorary president of Dalian Fur Association, said that this year, the price of mink has fallen to the bottom of the valley. The industry of Dalian mink industry is shrouded in shadow. The recent severe cold has brought a slight boost to the price of the soft mink, and the eyebrows of some mink households have been slightly worse.

"This year, not only the price of mink skin has dropped sharply, but also the price of mink garments has dropped by 30%~40% compared with the previous years, and sales sluggish.

In the minds of many operators, they have long been prepared to face the cold winter of the industry. However, the "weather factor" which has recently been quite unexpected suddenly broke into the impasse, which made the operator see a little hope.

Tan Xin said that since the "coldest week" at the end of 11, the sales of mink garments in the shop have been increased by about 10%.

"The recent cold weather has also brought benefits to our factory. In the coldest days, our factory can deliver fifty or sixty mink coats at most a day."

Guo Wei, director of the Limited Liability Company, introduces that it is very important for a local mink garment factory to be established this year.

However, this year's market demand for marten clothing has not been prosperous. Fortunately, the cold weather helped him in time.

"The cold weather has also increased the sales of down garments, especially in the current market environment, the down jacket operators have a greater hope for the cold weather."

Lin Xi, a Dalian down garment operator, said that if it were a cold winter this year, it would be the best news for down jacket.

Severe weather may be difficult to play a role in reversing the market supply and demand terminator. However, it can become an "easterly" power.

"In the coldest days in Dalian, we have carried out several exhibitions and won the market with the help of the cold current of the" east wind ".

Guo Wei believes that "beautiful price" is the best move to impress consumers. Therefore, the factory price of mink garments is set at 3000 yuan ~9000 yuan, hoping to "unfreeze" the market at low prices.

This idea of price changing is also the main theme of the down jacket market this year.

"This year, most of the down clothing price is less than 1000 yuan, and the mainstream price is 500 yuan ~700 yuan."

Lin Xi said, because the price is low, and the recent cold weather, so many of Dalian.

The stock pressure of businesses began to decrease.

Insiders say that this year, many manufacturers have reduced the output of down garments, and some businesses have also contracted the size of the purchase.

It is not very big. Even in some retail sectors, there may be a shortage of supply, but this does not mean that the actual sales volume of the down jacket has increased significantly.

"From the point of raw marten, cold weather can only bring the price of marten slightly up, but it can not reverse the supply and demand of mink."

Mr. Zhang, director of Dalian Mingwei mink Industry Co., Ltd., said recently, Dalian's mink trade is almost in a "frozen" state. Mink enterprises and mink farmers are too low in price to choose to wait and see, while garment processing plants and purchasers are reluctant to make a big hand because of their large stock.

"As far as I know, now the supply and demand of domestic mink is seriously unbalanced, oversupply and huge inventory. This contradiction between supply and demand can not be resolved because of several cold currents."

Li Wenzhong, general manager of Jiamei mink industry in Dalian, said that for the mink and mink garment industry, cold winter is a positive factor, but it can not save lives.

"Recently, the weather is very cold, but the sales of marten clothing have indeed increased, but the growth rate is not considerable, and the price has not improved. In other words, simple weather factors can not fundamentally change the dilemma of this year's mink garment production and marketing industry."

Another Dalian mink garment operator, Ma Ma, said that when the favorable weather factors hit the weak market demand, the weather factors could only be downplayed and could not play a leading role.
