Summary

In the 10th week of 2024 (3.4-3.10), the market was generally stable, and the price of goose down fell slightly.

The late spring cold and heavy platform subsidies have caused sales of down jackets that should have been out of season to rise. Some clothing companies have carried out small-scale replenishment production and were forced to accept the current high prices of finished down jackets. However, various clothing brands are still waiting to see the launch of large orders, and it is even more difficult to accept the high prices of finished velvet.

At present, the price of raw velvet is stabilizing, indicating that finished velvet suppliers have finished stocking up and are no longer willing to increase their inventory by high-priced foodies. Moreover, the specification velvet market is in the off-season and has no trading volume to support it. The subsequent transactions will depend on the purchasing demand of the downstream industry and the situation of export orders.

The good news is that the foreign trade situation continues to improve. Even in terms of US dollars, the total import and export volume in the first two months of this year increased by 5.5% year-on-year, of which exports increased by 7.1%. In terms of commodities, the growth rate of textile and apparel exports picked up; in terms of countries, the growth rate of exports to the United States and ASEAN rebounded significantly.

The scale of import and export in the first two months hit a record high for the same period in history

According to customs statistics, in the first two months of 2024, calculated in RMB (the same below), our country's total import and export value of goods trade was 6.61 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%. Among them, exports were 3.75 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.3%, and the growth rate returned to double digits; imports were 2.86 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.7%; the trade surplus was 890.87 billion yuan, an expansion of 23.6%.

Lu Daliang, director of the Statistical Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, said that in the first two months, our country's goods trade continued the positive trend since the fourth quarter of last year, with year-on-year growth for five consecutive months. The scale of import and export hit a record high for the same period in history, and the growth rate was higher than that of the fourth quarter of last year. The quarterly acceleration was 7.1 percentage points, achieving a good start.

Reuters issued an article on the same day stating that China’s import and export growth in the first two months exceeded expectations, indicating that Asian economies have benefited from the surge in semiconductor demand and that global trade is reversing the unfavorable situation. This is of great significance to policymakers trying to promote a weak economic recovery. Said it was an encouraging sign.

Bloomberg interpreted that China’s export growth in the first two months of this year was much faster than expected. The 7.1% growth rate (in U.S. dollars) far exceeded the 1.9% forecast by economists. This figure was also much better than the 2.3% growth rate in December last year, indicating that China, the world's second largest economy, is struggling to regain its footing.

However, the day before, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao said at a press conference that the foreign trade situation this year is still severe. Due to the high base in March last year, it is expected that foreign trade may fall back in March this year, but the overall trend is still rising.

In addition, in the first two months, our country's textile and apparel exports to the world totaled 320.53 billion yuan, an increase of 17.5%.

As late spring comes, sales of down jackets soar

Among the four seasons of the year, the most unpredictable season is spring. Recently, late spring cold has occurred in many places in our country. According to the China Meteorological Administration, the temperature in February this year was low and the precipitation was high. In March, there will be five cold air attacks in our country.

Data from online shopping platforms show that while prices of down jackets have dropped, sales have continued to rise. Mr. Ou, a Tmall merchant, said that because now that spring has begun, clothes are out of season and merchants have cut prices, triggering anti-season stocking. Coupled with the late spring cold and increased platform subsidies, sales of down jackets have increased.

In addition, Women’s Day is approaching soon, and savvy mothers have begun to take this opportunity to buy goods. This has also triggered the hoarding gene of the post-00s generation, so there is a phenomenon of #Sales of down jackets surge as late spring cold hits#.

However, some netizens believe that for down jackets, a "hard currency", you not only have to worry about your wallet, but also the quality. The most feared thing is to pay the "IQ tax". Others believe that discounts on off-season clothing are huge, but if they want to “pick up the slack”, they need to clearly identify the product quality, ask about the warranty, and keep their eyes peeled to avoid being deceived.

However, from October to December, our country's total exports of down bedding were US$112 million, a year-on-year decrease of 8%. Among them, down quilts were exported to US$59 million, a year-on-year decrease of 8%. In the fourth quarter, our country's down bedding exports fell 18% compared with the third quarter.

News situation

In terms of news this week, the good news slightly outweighs the bad news.

During the ninth week (2/19-2/25), the industry estimates that the number of duck seedlings will decrease to an average of about 9.7 million birds per day, but it may increase later. The current number of hatchlings corresponds to a corresponding decrease in the number of meat ducks sold in the future, causing duck down to continue to be in short supply.

In the most vibrant and hopeful time of the year, down companies have ushered in important milestones in their new year plans to launch new products, discuss cooperation, and expand business. Many well-known domestic and foreign clothing manufacturers, brand buyers, and trading dealers appeared at the 2024 China Textile Federation Spring Joint Exhibition to start the New Year's "super procurement" mode.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, our country's down bedding exports declined rapidly, with the EU and Japan, the main export markets, falling by 38% and 23% year-on-year respectively. Usually, February to April every year is the period when exports are low.
