The overseas epidemic situation is severe and orders are returning
The textile market has broken through the shackles of the off-season, and raw materials have risen by more than 150%
Overseas epidemics are becoming increasingly severe. In addition to causing serious panic to local people, it has also brought consequences to local industrial and manufacturing companies. The serious impact has caused factory shutdowns, park closures, employee holidays, etc., and we will encounter a “suspension” crisis again just like in 2020. The resurgence of the epidemic in manufacturing countries has undoubtedly brought positive effects to my country’s domestic market. Orders from India and other Southeast Asian countries have also begun to return to my country, resulting in a surge in the number of orders for domestic textile, chemical, rubber and other industries.
Although it is currently the off-season for the textile industry, staying in the off-season seems to be a new thing this year. Many textile clusters have seen a significant rebound in their operating rates. In the past week, the weaving operating rate has been rising as if production and work were to resume after the new year. In Haining and Changshu, it has even exceeded 90%. Many countries have recently tightened restrictions again, with Japan and Vietnam even entering “re-blockade”. In addition, foreign trade risks in India, Indonesia, South Africa and other countries continue to escalate, and textile foreign trade may be affected.
This brings opportunities to China, the world’s largest textile country.Since then, Southeast Asian textile industry orders have begun to shift to China in large quantities, and many textile companies have successively accepted 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 experiencing tight supply and rising prices amid the surge in demand.
PTA: The PTA market fluctuated upward this week. The average weekly price in the East China market this week was 5,152 yuan/ton, a month-on-month increase of 1.40%;
MEG: The average price in the East China market this week was 5,068 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.85% from last week’s average price, and the average price in the south China market was 5,078 yuan/ton.
Polyester filament: Polyester filament went up this week, POY price was 7850 yuan/ton, increased by 325 yuan/ton; FDY price was 8025 yuan/ton, increased by 250 yuan/ton ; DTY price is 9,200 yuan/ton, increased by 400 yuan/ton.
Spandex: The mainstream reference quotation of spandex 40D in Zhejiang is 72,000-75,000 yuan/ton, which is 2,000-3,000 yuan/ton higher than a week ago. The current quotation of spandex 20D has also risen to 90,000-90,000 yuan/ton. 95,000 yuan/ton, an increase of 86% since the beginning of this year, and an increase of more than 150% compared with the same period last year.
In addition, the epidemic in Southeast Asia has caused shortages and increased demand for my country’s dyes, chemical fiber products and other chemicals, as well as the domestic rubber industry chain, gloves, tires and other products and raw materials. Prices undoubtedly contributed to the situation. Industry insiders said that although it seems that the return of orders and boosted demand will be of great benefit to the industry, the short-term benefits are very limited.
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 only If we are 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 chemicals continue to be good, and will the market take a turn for the worse? will be an unknown. </p
