Overseas chemical market inventories are low, orders are returning to Southeast Asia,
Raw materials have risen by more than 150%
As the overseas epidemic becomes increasingly serious, the manufacturing industry in many countries and regions has been affected. For example, India, as a major exporter of raw materials, pesticides, dyes, and pigments in the world, is currently facing a severe epidemic situation. Factories cannot operate at full capacity, and the export industry chain has also come to a standstill.
Whether it is medicine, pesticides, APIs, or chemical, textile, printing and dyeing and other industries, it is a continuously developing industry in countries around the world, especially the chemical industry , production, transportation and sales will not be suspended due to the epidemic. Then when India is unable to provide products for export, many orders from APIs, textiles, chemicals and other industries will flow back to my country, resulting in a huge boost to exports.
The overseas epidemic is becoming increasingly severe. In addition to causing serious panic to local people, it has also had a serious impact on local industrial and manufacturing companies, causing factories to shut down. , the park is closed, employees are on vacation, etc. The epidemic in Southeast Asian countries has counterattacked, and orders from some countries have begun to return to my country, resulting in a surge in the number of orders for domestic textile, chemical, rubber and other industries.

Many textile companies have successively received return orders from Southeast Asia. Some companies said that orders continue to grow and have been queued up until August, while upstream raw materials are also showing tight supply and rising prices.

Since April this year, orders for textiles, home textiles, bedding, chemicals, dyes, etc. have returned to my country. Return orders are mainly for mid- to low-end products such as home textiles and bedding. Due to generally low contract prices, net profits, and short delivery times, most European, American, and Indian merchants bypass middlemen and directly dispatch orders to production companies. For domestic companies, Brings benefits.
These orders are mostly characterized by small batches, multiple varieties, and fast delivery. At the same time, the COVID-19 epidemic is still spreading around the world, and there is great uncertainty in the external environment. If we are just satisfied with the current benefits without improving the core competitiveness of the company, and the irreplaceability of the products is not strong enough, then once the epidemic situation improves and the intensity of competition increases, will domestic chemical products continue to be good? Whether it will take a sharp turn for the worse remains to be seen.
