Winter clothing prices are rising

Cotton prices rise and fall difficult to affect terminal prices

Xi Wenyuan, general manager of Shanghai Textile Holding Group, said: "generally speaking, the production cost accounts for only about 1/7 of the retail price of the terminal brand clothing in the shopping mall, and it does not exclude a difference of 20 times of the high-end brand.

In recent years, due to the popularity of cotton and polyester fiber, polyester and other ingredients in the production cost, pure cotton clothes are rare. Cotton constitutes only 18% to 30% of the filler. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the terminal price of cotton prices.
