Clothing Enterprises "Can Not Sustain" Clothing Wholesale Market Appears "Sublease Tide"

In September of previous years, it was the peak season for clothing export wholesalers to be popular and receive orders easily. However, the reporter from Nandu walked in the clothing wholesale market in Liuhua District yesterday, but found that there were few people in front of each stall, which seemed to have "entered winter" ahead of schedule. Global consumption is sluggish. No matter in Europe, America or Asia and Africa, the demand for clothing is sharply reduced Clothing wholesale The head of the market rental department admitted that this year's tenant turnover is the largest since SARS, with a sublease rate of more than 20%.

Tenant orders reduced by more than 60%

In the afternoon, Ajie (a pseudonym), a shop assistant at Liuhua Garment Wholesale Market, crossed her legs and trimmed her nails leisurely. From time to time, she poked her head out to look at the stalls opposite and beside her. "Everyone is welcome", and she continued to repair her nails calmly.

In the middle of September, according to past experience, customers from all over the world should have successively flocked to the wholesale cities in Liuhua region, but this year several wholesale cities doing export business are unpopular. "Two months ago, I couldn't get any orders." Sister A complained that her stall mainly sells Middle East and African women's clothing. Two months before Christmas and March and April after the Spring Festival are peak seasons

Not only is it difficult for Sister A to do business, but the little sister in the sports clothes wholesale store opposite is also bored and dazed. "When there is no customer, I talked with the store nearby, and I have no words." The head of the rental department of Liuhua Clothing Wholesale Market revealed that since this year, the order volume of tenants in the wholesale city has decreased by more than 60%.

The merchants of Xindi Garment Wholesale City, which is mainly export-oriented, also "entered the winter". Mr. Bai, the tenant, said, "I feel that 80% of the shops are not as good as before". Mr. Fan, who is responsible for making and operating sweaters, said that foreign trade orders fell by half in the first half of the year, "I haven't tried this in more than ten years".

Orders have decreased, and the order price has been kept under pressure. The head of the Import and Export Department of Guangzhou Fanglian Import and Export Co., Ltd. introduced that, taking a pair of jeans exported to the United States as an example, the original purchase price was $14, but this year only $13 could be given.

　　 The boss who has worked for more than 10 years is also delisted

The profit space of clothing wholesalers has been compressed, and many enterprises lament that they have "failed". "Look, there are several sublets on our road, and I have never seen anyone return the rent at the stall next to the main road before." Sister A said that even some bosses who have worked for more than 10 years have quit.

"The rent will be withdrawn in the shortest one month, and there are no few in three or six months." The head of the recruitment department of Liuhua Clothing Wholesale Market said frankly that this year's tenant turnover is the largest since SARS, with a sublease rate of more than 20%. In addition to the global economic downturn, the situation in the Middle East also affects China's exports to the region

The bulletin board at the gate of the City of Shoes and Materials beside the City of Melco in Liuhua District was full of announcements for rent and top hands, and the words "transfer" were also posted on some gold shops on the first floor and the first floor of the basement. This year's export downturn has led to the shoe factory's failure to receive orders Shoe material The demand decreases accordingly.

In order to stabilize the operation of tenants, the rent of Xindadi Market has declined this year, and Wantong Clothing Wholesale Market, with the same serious loss of merchants, can only allow tenants to default on rent.

Domestic market

If the Mid Autumn Festival business is not good, it is equal to a loss all year round

Baima Garment City is mainly for domestic sales and retail. At present, it is in the peak season of seasonal purchase, and business has begun to turn hot. The porters who pull goods are too busy to breathe. There are busy hauling goods off the site and lively negotiations on the site. There are five or six purchasers watching goods at each stall.

In previous years, May and June were the peak seasons for domestic sales and retail sales, but this year's peak season has ended with the end of the May Day Golden Week.

"If there is no business during this period, the whole year will be basically in a loss state."
