Summary

The overall market rose during the 21st week of 2024 (May 20th to May 26th).

Recently, the transaction volume of raw material down has increased, and it has also followed a wave of rising prices. At present, it seems that the supply of raw down is still hovering at a relatively low level, and as washing factories place more orders and stock up, their shipment prices remain high, and this is transmitted to downstream parallel imports and finished down.

Since the beginning of this year, exports from major clothing suppliers in Southeast Asia have generally declined, but after entering April, they began to expand the import of down filling materials. Overseas down jacket OEMs may enter the peak season of production and shipment in the second quarter, and future orders are expected to gradually pick up.

At the 2024 JPMorgan Global China Summit media briefing, Haibin Zhu, Chief Economist for Greater China, stated that China's strong economic performance in the first quarter of this year was primarily driven by production. This was partly due to strong export performance and partly related to the high growth in manufacturing investment supported by domestic policies.

News situation

This week’s news is more positive than negative.

During the 20th week (5.13-5.19), the industry estimates that the number of duck seedlings has stabilized at an average of about 11.3 million birds per day, and will show a slow growth trend in the later period. The current number of hatchlings will correspond to a corresponding increase in the number of meat ducks sold in the future, which may lead to a slight increase in the supply of duck feathers.

In April this year, the foreign trade exports of down jackets and down bedding dropped sharply year-on-year, but there are still good signs. As the peak season in May approaches, down jacket exports have finally ended their six-month downward trend and are showing signs of rising. The export situation of bedding also reflects the strong demand in the US market.

Among all Aprils in the past ten years, the export volume of down and feathers in April this year ranked near the bottom, but the export volume in that month was at an upper-middle level. This also shows that this year's down and feather exports may not be as bad as imagined.
