Although the summer market remains weak in recent times, China Textile City has seen a steady flow of autumn apparel fabric orders. Both small and large orders continue to come in, with foreign trade orders showing an upward trend locally. The reliable quality and creative designs of fabrics have given them a competitive edge in the market.
Autumn cotton fabrics, T/R polyester wool blends, polyester-spandex, and nylon fabrics are experiencing gradual growth. Some factory-style cloth companies and large-scale retailers have maintained their marketing advantages by securing more orders. In certain fabric categories, prices have risen slightly due to tight supply, while high-quality creative fabrics have seen a significant price increase compared to standard products.
Local autumn fabric orders have shown a positive trend, especially for mid-range wool-like sliver yarns made from T/R polyester. These fabrics remain a highlight for some customers, with daily trading volumes showing a slight upward movement. Fabrics suitable for casual jackets, suits, and trousers—such as T/R 65/35, viscose blends, and various yarn counts—have also seen a modest rise in transaction volume, with prices remaining stable overall.
Some innovative and popular fabrics have experienced minor price increases. This is partly due to small-scale printing and dyeing enterprises in Xiaoshan and Shaoxing upgrading their equipment to meet energy-saving and emission-reduction standards. As a result, the cost of high-quality dyeing and finishing processes has increased, leading to slight price hikes for certain popular varieties—typically around 0.10–0.20 RMB per meter.
Large-scale local operators and some smaller stores have continued to increase their listings of T/C blended fabrics for the autumn season. Most of these are order-based, with machine-dyeing and padding processes being common. T/C 65/35 and 80/20 blends are widely used for uniforms, casual wear, and professional clothing. Some large-scale stores still have active orders.
Popular T/C fabric specifications such as 21S×21S, 108×58 machine-dyed card; 20S×16S, 128×60 machine-dyed polyester; and others have seen a local increase in orders. Due to improved energy-saving dyeing and finishing processes, some factory-style and large-scale outlets have taken on more orders, contributing to a slight rise in prices.
While small and medium-sized traders continue to place flexible orders, their overall market presence remains limited. Transactions in the coming days are still insufficient, and it's hard to match the order volume of traditional cloth-making companies and large-scale operators.
Recent market activity has also seen an increase in gray cloth production for autumn and winter padded fabrics. Thicker 20S×16S, 128×60 cotton pad dyed cards have seen rising prices as manufacturers gradually increase output. Although the traditional 150cm width fabrics have limited turnover, larger batch transactions have started to grow, with some orders already placed at 12.80 RMB/m. However, many smaller batches are transacting at 13.00 RMB/m, showing a slight increase from previous levels.
In response to demand for school uniforms, workwear, and winter jackets, thicker cotton fabrics have seen more active orders. Varieties like pure cotton 16S×12S, 108×56 padded khaki drills, and 20S×20S padded cards are in high demand. Factory-style cloth companies and large-scale operators are seeing continuous orders, and new foreign trade orders are becoming more prominent, creating a bright spot in the summer light market.
Recently, the sales of autumn polyester fabrics in China Textile City have been smooth, with creative fabrics frequently making an impact. Water-washed cashmere prints, Chun Yafang, Xia Zhuang, Zhabu cloth, chiffon, satin, and bright silk fabrics have all been selling well. Fabric styles that are renovated or re-designed have gained a strong market position.
In the northern and central-western low-income rural areas, fabrics used for women’s autumn jackets, dual-purpose sweaters, and winter coats have seen smooth transactions. Materials such as 75D POY-150D FDY printed fabrics, cashmere-washed Xiaxian, Chun Yafang, Sasaki cloth, and 75D FDY-150D FDY triangular silk-based satin and bright silk fabrics have performed well.
Additionally, jacquard, embroidery, cut-flower, carved India, burnt-out, planting-flower, bronzing, and burning-flower patterns in autumn polyester fabrics have been constantly refreshed, attracting both new and existing customers. More stock patterns and bulk orders are being placed, highlighting the ongoing success of the summer light market.
