Recently, the editor has found that dye costs, chemical fiber raw materials, and gray fabrics have quietly increased in price. It seems that a price increase in the market is coming. .
After the price increase of dyes, some dyeing factories raised dyeing fees
On September 3, the market The news of rising dyes is overwhelming. Disperse dyes have been upgraded for all series! Among them, the price of dispersed black ECT 300% increased again, and the price of dispersed black ECT 300% was adjusted to 32 yuan/kg.
Afterwards, some printing and dyeing companies issued notices of rising dyeing fees. In fact, before this dye price increase, the dye price had already been raised once in August. Since the price increase of disperse dyes in August, printing and dyeing enterprises in Zhejiang have obviously felt the pressure doubled, and many enterprises have made dyeing fee adjustments to cope with the increase in production costs.
This dye price increase, although some leading companies in the dye industry have raised prices, has played a certain leading role in the entire dye market. The same is true for dyeing fees. The printing and dyeing companies that have made adjustments so far are all from the Shaoxing area, and not all printing and dyeing clusters are involved, but they will all play a very good role in boosting the market’s dyeing fees.
Spandex, nylon and other raw materials have fluctuated upward
Although chemical fiber raw material manufacturers have been increasing every week recently There is a polyester promotion, but after 1-2 months of fluctuations in polyester prices, the price is no longer this year’s low. For gray fabrics that are subject to constant price reductions and promotions, the decline in polyester prices is much lower than that of gray fabrics, and polyester yarns have shown a continuous upward trend.
The most obvious increase is in raw materials such as nylon yarn and spandex yarn. At the end of August, the price of spandex yarn increased by 1,500 yuan/ton. The increase was very strong. Soon some weaving companies raised the price of spandex gray fabric. In terms of nylon yarn, each product has also increased by 250 yuan/ton since the end of August. Although the increase is not large, it shows an upward trend and will put a lot of pressure on the costs of weaving companies. All raw materials have increased to varying degrees, especially during the traditional peak season in the downstream. The prices of raw materials are mostly easy to rise but difficult to fall, and it is difficult to return to the lowest point.

Youbu boss said, The current raw materials can no longer produce low-priced gray fabrics. Even if the previous low-priced raw materials are used to produce gray fabrics at market-promoted prices, the price will still be loss-making.
The prices of some gray fabrics have been slightly increased
The price of gray fabrics will naturally be affected as raw materials have increased, but due to Due to factors such as excessive social inventory and mediocre market conditions, the rise in gray fabrics has been very slow and weak. However, there are still many weaving manufacturers who cannot withstand the cost pressure and fine-tune the prices of gray fabrics.
Take cool silk cotton as an example, Recently, the raw materials of 40-count cool silk cotton have increased, and the price of 40S cool silk cotton gray fabric has also increased, from the original 2.3 yuan/meter to 2.5 yuan/meter. In addition, there is also room for an increase of 0.2 yuan/meter for four-way elastic fabrics that follow the rise in spandex yarns. Recently, the prices of other conventional polyester products have also been fine-tuned to varying degrees. A cloth boss issued a statement that the recent gray fabric prices are based on the quotation of the day, which means that the price may change at any time.
There is a trend of price increases in both the upper and lower industrial chains, but whether the price can be sustained remains to be verified by the market. For example, although some companies have increased the price of gray fabrics, there are still many cloth owners who are still cutting prices and selling goods. The overall market price of gray fabrics cannot go up. The same is true for dyeing fees. The printing and dyeing companies that have increased this time are all in the Shaoxing area. The printing and dyeing plants in the Wujiang area have not yet experienced price increases, and the possibility of following the increase does not seem to be very high.
Recent market trendsAlthough there has been a lot of improvement, it is still far behind compared with previous years. The social inventory of gray fabrics is still very high. The production enthusiasm of weaving manufacturers is still recovering, and it is difficult to raise prices for polyester filaments. On the other hand, because the inventory of gray fabrics is still too high, manufacturers are eager to destock, and it is difficult to eliminate the phenomenon of selling goods at low prices, which suppresses the overall price of gray fabrics in the market. As for dyeing fees, due to the poor inventory of gray fabrics in the early days, many companies offered attractive conditions for discounts on dyeing fees. Now, due to the increase in cost-side dye prices, the discounts may be canceled instead of directly increasing the price.
However, it is not completely impossible for the entire industry chain to start a wave of price increases. The main reason is that it is currently in the traditional peak season, and the market is indeed improving. The inventories of some companies have been improved, and raw material prices have Once it rises, the gray fabric will also rise. Enterprises with high inventories have been selling goods at low profits or even at a loss for a long time, and the financial pressure continues to rise. After the market improves, they will inevitably not take this opportunity to increase prices.
At present, only some products in the industry chain have increased in price, and whether the price increase will really come depends mainly on the popularity of the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten”. It is only the first week of September, and we cannot clearly feel the atmosphere of the peak season. We need to pay more attention to the market trend in the future.
