Special topic of textile and clothing Light Industry Week: 2021a and 2022q1 summary, waiting for the turnaround

After combing the income and profitability of the household, paper, textile and garment industries in 2021 and 2022q1, we believe that the industry has experienced recovery in 21 years, as well as events such as Evergrande black swan and base pressure. Since Q1 of 22 years ago, the external environmental disturbance has made the profits of several major sectors still have to wait for the turnaround.

The overall revenue side of the furniture industry performs well, and the profitability of soft furniture is stable. In 2021, the overall revenue of major enterprises in the customized furniture sector increased by + 27% year-on-year; Net profit attributable to parent company – 37% year-on-year; Excluding the three companies with more provision for credit impairment, the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company is + 6%.

In 2021, the furniture industry benefited from the recovery of completion and consumption rebound, and the overall income increased rapidly. On the profit side, soft furniture enterprises achieved higher profit growth with strong price raising ability, and the performance growth of customized furniture enterprises was affected by the price rise of raw materials and credit impairment. In 2022q1, the overall revenue growth of the industry remains resilient, the growth rate of profit side software enterprises is high, and customized enterprises are under pressure in the short term. Customization enterprises continue to make efforts in the direction of channel diversification and category expansion, new categories grow rapidly, and the whole packaging channel continues to be in large volume. The prosperity of the soft furniture industry is high, and the leading companies actively expand their stores, which can be expected to grow in the future.

The prosperity of the paper sector was high before and low after 2021, and the profitability margin of 22q1 was improved. In 2021, the revenue of pulp and paper bulk paper sector was + 21% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the parent company was + 40% year-on-year; The revenue of the bulk paper sector of waste paper is + 25% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the parent company is – 0% year-on-year; The income of household paper sector was + 2% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the parent company was – 27% year-on-year; The revenue of special cardboard blocks was + 27% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the parent company was + 44% year-on-year. In the first half of 2021, the price of pulp and paper products was boosted by the rise of wood pulp price, and the profitability of cultural paper, white cardboard and special paper was particularly bright. In the second half of the year, with the rise in the cost of raw materials and energy for papermaking, the weak downstream demand suppressed the paper price, and the profitability of paper enterprises was generally under pressure. Since the first quarter of 2022, benefiting from the rise of pulp price and the improvement of supply and demand, pulp and paper products have ushered in price increase, while energy costs have fallen month on month, and the profit margin of paper enterprises has improved. In the future, we will pay attention to the further price increase of paper enterprises, transmit the cost pressure, and look forward to the release of demand in the peak season to boost the prosperity of the industry.

The prosperity of textile manufacturing is better than that of clothing, and the sports track still has advantages. 1) In 2021, the performance of clothing and home textile industry was high before and low after. The recovery trend was good in the first half of the year, and there were many base pressure and external disturbance factors in the second half of the year. In 2021, the income of clothing and home textile industry was + 7.79% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the parent company was + 127% year-on-year. The profit recovered significantly.

The profit pressure was obvious. 2) Textile manufacturing in 2021 shows a boom in domestic and foreign orders as a whole, and raw materials and operating rate are favorable to profit margin.
