Abstract: At present, the international market has been very popular color spinning products, the domestic market is also expanding, and the overall market size of color spinning is on the rise. As of 2022, the market size of the mainland color spinning industry is about 55.526 billion yuan, and the gradual expansion of the market share of medium and high-end textiles and the continuous exploration of the consumption potential of downstream customers make the color spinning market penetration rate expected to continue to rise.
1. Definitions and Classification
Color spinning is the process of dyeing the fibers first, and then mixing two or more fibers of different colors to make a yarn with a unique color mixing effect. According to the different fibers spun into color spinning, color spinning can be divided into pure cotton color spinning, blended color spinning, purified fiber color spinning, recycled chemical fiber color spinning and color spinning mixed with more than three different raw material fibers. According to the different colors of the finished products, color spinning can be divided into color color spinning and hemp gray spinning.
Second, industry policies
The color spinning industry appeared after the 80s of the 20th century, because it has shortened the production process of subsequent processing enterprises and reduced production costs through the new technology of "dyeing first and spinning yarn", especially the breakthrough solves the problem of high pollution in the traditional dyeing and finishing industry, greatly reduces energy consumption and environmental damage, and therefore has high added value. Compared with the traditional process of "spinning first, then dyeing", color spinning has strong market competitiveness and good market prospects. The main policies affecting the development of the dyed spinning industry in China are: "Guiding Opinions on the Development of the Cotton Textile Industry in the 14th Five-Year Plan" and "Guiding Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2024)", etc., and the release of relevant industrial support policies has promoted the construction of industrial ecology and had a significant positive impact on the dyed spinning industry.
3. Industry barriers
1. Industry experience barriers
Compared with the traditional spinning industry, the color spinning industry has innovated in terms of technological process, production methods, raw material procurement, marketing methods, etc.: such as the pre-dyeing of cotton fibers and the color matching process of subsequent production links; In order to adapt to the popular and changeable characteristics of casual clothing terminal consumption, the unique production mode of small batch, multi-variety and fast delivery; Centralized procurement in the origin of cotton requires enterprises to have good inventory decision-making and management capabilities; In order to successfully implement direct marketing to brand operators, it is necessary to accurately grasp the changes in popular color trends and consumer trends. All of the above require enterprises to have rich industry resources and experience accumulation, and have high requirements for the soft power of enterprises.
2. Barriers to management ability
The richness of color spinning and the complexity of the production process require enterprises to have high production site management capabilities, scheduling capabilities and quality management capabilities. At the same time, in view of the fact that downstream apparel customers attach great importance to the delivery time, enterprises are also required to have good supply chain management capabilities. An experienced and highly qualified management team is essential for the production of yarn-dyed yarns.
3. Technical barriers
Compared with the traditional spinning industry, the color spinning industry has unique technologies and processes in all aspects such as dyeing and color matching. For small-batch, multi-variety yarn-dyed yarn orders, there are often multiple different varieties of products working at the same time on the same production line. Taking the company as an example, the company receives tens of thousands of orders every year, and launches more than 5,000 colors of mixed yarns, and the corresponding process parameters are always changing, and there are uncertainties in the mixing technology of different fibers. How to make the yarn achieve the requirements of uniform mixing, bright color, good color fastness, consistent color of each batch, uniform thickness of yarn, less hairiness, less and small defects, requires high professional and technical difficulty.
4. Financial barriers
The yarn-dyed yarn industry needs to occupy a large amount of working capital in all aspects such as cotton centralized procurement and inventory management, and at the same time, because of the characteristics of small production batches and many varieties of yarn-dyed yarn, the cost of unit products is relatively large when the output is small. Therefore, the production of yarn-dyed yarn also has high requirements for the financial strength and production scale of enterprises, and only large enterprises with significant scale effects can form a low-cost advantage, so as to effectively expand new markets.
5. Environmental protection supporting barriers
In recent years, environmental protection issues have received more and more attention, and the color spinning industry will produce a large amount of industrial wastewater because it contains dyeing and finishing links, and supporting the construction of perfect environmental protection facilities is a necessary condition for entering the color spinning industry. Taking Blum Oriental Holding subsidiary Haide Knitting as an example, in order to improve the sewage treatment capacity and treatment efficiency, Haide Knitting has invested more than 3,000 yuan to build a sewage treatment plant with a treatment capacity of 15,000 tons/day and a reclaimed water advanced treatment system with a treatment capacity of 5,000 tons/day to meet the needs of energy conservation, emission reduction and circular economy. The standard of environmental protection supporting facilities requires the support of strong financial strength and technical strength, which constitutes an important barrier for other enterprises to enter the yarn-dyed yarn industry.
Fourth, the industrial chain
1. Analysis of the industry chain
The upstream industries of the yarn-dyed yarn industry are mainly agriculture and chemical fiber manufacturing. The upstream raw materials are mainly cotton, supplemented by a small amount of chemical fiber. Cotton is a strategic material related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is also the second largest crop after grain. At present, the mainland occupies the first place in several aspects of the global cotton industry: the first in production, the first in consumption and the first in imports. As a basic agricultural product, the price of cotton is often affected by many factors such as policy, output, pre-inventory, import and export volume, domestic consumption, climate, national reserves, substitutes, and international market conditions.
The downstream of the yarn-dyed yarn industry is mainly the garment industry, especially the brand casual clothing industry, and its downstream terminal demand comes from the improvement of people's living standards, changes in consumption habits and changes in disposable income. As an important downstream industry of the yarn-dyed yarn industry, the impact of the garment industry on the yarn-dyed yarn industry is mainly reflected in the stability of the market supply and demand balance and the change of industry profitability.
