在冠状病毒大流行期间,纤维市场经历了艰难的时期。停滞的汽车部门损失了,随着对纤维的需求进入地毯,座椅盖,安全气囊,隔热材料和轮胎绳索。但是,在2019年消耗的纤维总量的55%是价值链最受欢迎的地方。

全球服装消费量已经崩溃

的影响新冠病毒服装上的大流行是迅速而戏剧性的。在世界范围内,锁定措施使商店关闭并酌情支出下降。全球人口的大部分地区突然在家里进行休闲活动,几乎没有动力购买新衣服。

零售销售暴跌。在美国,在4月下降了87%,在5月份的服装和服装配件商店的销售额同比下降了63%。在EU27中,3月和4月,同比的专业纺织品,服装,鞋类和皮革商店的零售销售额下跌了55%和64%。在西班牙施加了最严格的封锁之一,四月的销售下降为90%。即使在瑞典没有严格封锁的瑞典,四月份的销售额也下降了38%。

由于从锁定到“新正常”的缓慢过渡仍在进行中,May零售数据也可能显示出大量同比减少。大流行还远远没有结束 - 例如,我们目前正在美国部分地区看到大量的案件。

销售暴跌已经很难打动零售商。在美国,2019年收入超过220亿美元的五家国家公司在5月底申请了第11章破产。Gap(-us $ 12亿美元)和Inditex( - 4.09亿欧元)等全球品牌报告了第1季度的营业损失。

在线零售的趋势加速了

大流行可能被证明是服装部门的拐点。在许多国家,在线零售商的市场份额更大的一般趋势加速了 - 如果继续这样做,它将影响整个价值链。

This has created opportunities as well as challenges. Some nimble digital players offering low cost, ‘fast fashion’ on a 1-2 week cycle were able to adjust their offer rapidly. They’ve been able to take advantage of the challenges faced by bricks and mortar operators by buying their stock or operations from administration.

我们期望在大流行结束之前,会看到零售领域的持续重组。品牌和零售商正在加倍努力,以促进数字业务,这可能会导致某些物理商店的关闭。这将为其余价值链的其余部分变化 - 以在线为中心的运营商倾向于减少库存,并且通常是近岸的产品供应,因此他们可以快速响应需求。

痛苦正在传递价值链

The global pandemic hit brands and retailers at such velocity at that the impact was soon felt up the value chain.

The USD value of apparel imports into the US was down 19% in the four months to April, year-on-year, and a massive 42% in April alone. The situation is very similar in Europe, where the euro value of extra-EU27 apparel imports dropped by around 13% in the first four months of the year, compared with the same period in 2019. In April alone, the decline was 38% year-on-year.

纤维facility operating rates have collapsed with this sharp reduction in demand. Lockdown policies led to some total stops, and in June – as restrictions generally receded – operating rates of less than 50% could be seen in markets as diverse as India, the US and Taiwan. Textile plants are now holding plenty of unsold stock that can’t be countered even with heavy price discounting.

The combination of a crushing demand shock, with gradually rising raw materials prices (albeit from a low start) is now causing acute financial distress across the value chain.

为服装行业施加问题

全球大流行仍然是一个不断发展的故事。但是已经很明显,服装行业面临生存危机。

完整的洞察力考虑了紧迫的问题,包括:

  • Do unsustainable finances rule out sustainable behaviour?The apparel industry’s commitment to sustainable practices is being sorely tested. How are brands responding?
  • 消费者习惯何时开始恢复“正常”?消费者在中国的信心是否恢复,这对世界其他地区意味着什么?
  • When will fibres demand recover?我们目前对2020年全球所有纤维需求的预测是,与2019年相比,下降约为8%。
