"Such a thin little suit is worth a cotton padded jacket."

Miss Wang, who was chosen by the side, discussed with her colleagues.

Cotton prices are the main drivers.

The price of spring clothes is rising. The most powerful promoter is cotton price.

It is reported that cotton, as the main raw material of cotton spinning enterprises, usually accounts for 60%-70% of the cost.

According to the average profit of 12% of the industry, cotton price rises by 1% every time, and the profit drop of enterprises is 0.53%.

Cotton prices have risen all the way since the beginning of last year. The rise in the second half of the year has been especially high, reaching a high point in November. Zhengzhou's cotton futures contract price exceeded 30 thousand yuan / ton mark.

Because garment enterprises usually produce two seasons ahead of schedule.

At that time, people in the industry expected that spring clothing prices will rise by 5% - 10% in 2011.

Cotton prices picked up again at the beginning of this year. Cotton futures in Zhengzhou continued to slightly increase after opening, up to 34870 yuan / ton, a record high.

A person in charge of a well-known clothing company in Ningbo told reporters that the price increase of raw materials with cotton as the leading actor really affected the pricing of spring clothes this year.

"At the beginning of last year, the purchase price of cotton yarn was 28 yuan / kg. At the end of last year, it had risen to 38 yuan per kilogram. It only came from the pressure of raw materials, and we had to raise 10% in terms of commodity prices before we could digest it."

In addition, the cost of labor and other aspects of the rise is not small.

An industry analysis, there may be room for spring clothing.

Due to the fact that garment manufacturers generally produce two seasons ahead of time, the recent upward trend in cotton prices and the pmission effect of high labor costs are not fully in place.

If cotton prices continue to be high this year, the trend of clothing prices is likely to continue to the summer and autumn market. It is estimated that the price will continue to rise between 10% and 20%.

Consumers talk about "buy clothes classics".

Faced with the possibility of further expansion of business pressure, many garment enterprises began to ponder over "reducing costs".

The head of the clothing company told reporters that at present, the company has been working on raw material procurement.

Many smart consumers are not worried about spring clothes.

"At the end of last year, there was a round of autumn and winter sales promotion. I stroll around the market very frequently, and pick up something that looks good.

In fact, last autumn clothing and all the popular elements of spring clothing this year are very close, and there is no need to worry about obsolescence. "

Miss Hu, who worked near Tianyi business circle, picked up the "eye piercing" selection in the last round of autumn and winter clothing promotion, and talked to reporters about her "buy clothes classics".

From various shopping centers, it is understood that the sale promotion activities of autumn and winter clothing last year will last until the first half of March. However, if consumers fail to find the Italian style in the autumn and winter clothing promotions in the physical shopping mall, they can also watch the same online shopping platform with the same big autumn and winter cards.

This year's spring promotional activities will start in late March.
