Economic Analysis of Printing and Dyeing Industry in the First Half of 2010 - 4
In the first half of 2010, the printing and dyeing industry experienced a mixed trend in imports. From January to May, the total import volume of six key categories of printing and dyeing products reached 673 million meters, marking a year-on-year decline of 7.10%. This represents a reduction of 6.89 percentage points compared to the earlier period from January to February, and a more significant drop of 11.66 percentage points when compared to the same period in the previous year. The total import value stood at $1.012 billion, showing a slight decrease of 0.44% year-on-year. However, the rate of decline narrowed by 20.12% compared to the earlier months.
The average unit price for imported fabrics increased by 7.17% year-on-year, reaching $1.50 per meter. This indicates that despite the overall decline in volume, the value of imported goods remained relatively strong.
Looking at the specific product categories, pure cotton Printed Fabric and cotton-blended printed fabric saw increases in import volumes of 15.23% and 13.71%, respectively. However, the other four categories still experienced declines across different ranges. Notably, the unit prices for imported fabrics in these categories slightly decreased, while the prices for cotton-blended dyed fabrics and synthetic filament fabrics rose.
In terms of sourcing, the top five markets for printing and dyeing fabric imports were Taiwan, South Korea, mainland China, Japan, and Hong Kong. Together, these regions accounted for 90.64% of total imports. The highest unit price was observed for fabrics imported from Japan, at $3.44 per meter—nearly 2.29 times the average import price. In contrast, South Korean fabrics were priced at the average level, while those from Hong Kong and Taiwan were significantly lower, at 60% and 66% of the average, respectively.
This data highlights the shifting dynamics within the global textile market, with some regions experiencing growth while others faced contraction. The pricing trends also reflect varying levels of competitiveness among different suppliers.
