According to the public US import customs data over the past two years, China has consistently maintained its position as the foremost nation in terms of cotton towel imports(HS Code:630260), surpassing other countries by a substantial margin. India and Pakistan follow closely behind, albeit at a considerable distance, thereby underscoring the widespread recognition of Chinese cotton towels among American market and high-end market.

We have great confidence in the quality of our products, which surpasses that of over 99% of Indian and Pakistani factories. In the past decade, many of our loyal customers attempted to purchase from factories in India and Pakistan due to their perceived “low prices,” only to return to us shortly after realizing that the comparatively cheaper products they bought did not match the same level of quality we offer. From a raw material perspective, our factory primarily utilizes cotton produced in the main cotton growing regions of China, which provides a natural advantage in the production of towels compared to factories using cotton from other regions such as India and Pakistan. The cotton produced in these regions of China is known for its superior fiber length, strength, and luster, approaching the quality of the world-renowned Egyptian cotton. This inherent advantage in our raw materials gives us a competitive edge in the production of high-quality towels. The factories in India and Pakistan often use local cotton, which costs only 50%-70% of our cotton procurement cost. However, the characteristics and effects of the products made from this cotton, especially after dyeing, cannot be compared to ours. The differences in quality are easily and clearly distinguishable, whether through naked eyes or with the help of instruments. In terms of dyeing processes, we have long adopted eco-friendly reactive dyeing methods that meet Class A standards. Our testing results far exceed the requirements set by European and American countries, ensuring minimal environmental impact, user safety, and enhanced durability. On the other hand, many factories in India and Pakistan still rely on outdated direct dyeing methods. This approach poses evident threats to the product’s future use and the health of end-users. Direct dyeing processes often lead to environmental pollution, compromised user health due to potential residue of toxic chemicals, and reduced durability in terms of color fastness and longevity. By choosing our products, you can be confident in the reduced environmental footprint, minimized health risks, and superior durability that our eco-friendly reactive dyeing processes offer. Furthermore，numerous towel factories in India, Pakistan, and other countries still employ outdated equipment from ten or even thirty years ago – equipment that China has long replaced. The performance issues of textile equipment and the technical proficiency of factory technicians give rise to various challenges, including shedding, pilling, sewing defects (such as loose threads and poor stitching), and fading. Consequently, this leads to a higher unit price for their products compared to ours despite similar quality. On the contrary, Hede maintains a defect rate below 1.5%, with nearly no customer complaints requiring compensation for nearly ten years. Above all, many of the low-priced products offered in India or Pakistan are not the equivalent to ours. it’s important to note that our confidence in the quality of our products remains unwavering.

Compared to factories in these countries, although we cannot guarantee the lowest prices, our prices are undeniably highly competitive. If you find that the price of one of our products is higher than that of India and Pakistan, it is likely due to a disparity in product quality, making a direct comparison inappropriate. Even when using the same cotton sourced from the international market at similar purchase prices, our employment of advanced equipment and skilled workers with extensive professional experience allows us to achieve lower labor costs compared to most of Indian and Pakistani factories. China’s robust infrastructure ensures significantly reduced electricity expenses for us. Our wealth of management expertise enables cost reduction through minimized waste generation and an exceptionally low rate of defective goods – all contributing factors that make our real unit price exceedingly advantageous. Furthermore, I can give an example. If you buy a bath towel from India and Pakistan at an average unit price of $2.5, you might be able to sell it for a maximum of $3.5, earning a profit of $1 per bath towel. However, if we use high-quality cotton and craftsmanship, the procurement cost for our ordinary bath towel (different bath towel from the towel sold at $2.5) would be $3.5. In that case, you can easily sell it for $6 or $7. Our best-selling product, the Clover Luxe Bath Towel, is priced at $15 on Amazon. Therefore, it is evident that choosing our products will allow you to gain higher profits.

(1) Delivery Time: According to numerous customer testimonials, delivery delays have become a prevalent issue faced by a vast majority of towel manufacturing companies in India and Pakistan. Several major factories prioritize high-volume buyers, such as Walmart, despite their low profitability, while often neglecting orders from small and medium-sized buyers. Consequently, this leads to delays in fulfilling customer orders placed by the latter group. Moreover, due to poor infrastructure in both countries, power outages and other logistical problems often occur, leading to frequent delivery issues for many Indian and Pakistani factories. While Chinese towel factories may also experience occasional delivery delays, they generally strive to keep their promises and ensure timely deliveries.

(2) Technology and automation: Chinese towel factories are at the forefront of technology and automation, utilizing state-of-the-art production equipment and processes to enhance efficiency and product quality. During our discussions with numerous Chinese domestic towel manufacturers and export sales personnel, it became evident that many Indian and Pakistani factories have been procuring equipment from China that was used a decade, or even three decades ago – this can be observed through the factory equipment images displayed on their websites. While it is true that some factory leaders opt for advanced production tools from Europe, Japan, and other countries, they constitute only a small fraction of the overall industry. It should be pointed out that certain renowned factories employ jet looms manufactured by Toyota in Japan. Although these looms may superficially increase weaving speed, their quality does not match up to non-jet alternatives. For instance, it is readily comprehensible that excessive speed may result in issues such as irregular loops. Consequently, when considering all factors collectively, Chinese factories possess distinct advantages in terms of their equipment.
