China accounts for 65% of global outdoor fabric production (according to Textile World 2023), but competition is fierce. Quality outdoor fabric suppliers need to be:
Complete certification: OEKO-TEX® environmental certification, GRS global recycling standard.
Guaranteed production capacity: over 100,000 yards per month, lead time ≤ 30 days.
Customisation capability: support digital printing, special coatings (e.g. anti-mosquito treatment).
Five Cost Optimisation Tips for Wholesale Sourcing
Mixed purchasing: Combine orders for heavy outdoor fabrics and breathable outdoor fabrics to reduce logistics costs.
Off-season stockpiling: March-April each year is the industry's off-season, and prices can be negotiated down by 15-20%.
Tailgate use: some suppliers provide B-grade products (only colour difference without functional defects) at prices as low as 50% of genuine products.
Regional policy: Purchase in Shaoxing, Zhejiang or Foshan, Guangdong industrial zone, enjoy tax rebate subsidies from local government.
Long-term agreement: signing annual framework contract can lock the price and avoid the risk of raw material fluctuation.
