In recent times, printing and dyeing factories have begun to suspend production and take holidays in the market, but many printing and dyeing companies are still insisting on it. Most of their holidays are planned at the end of January or early February. In fact, the end of the year and the beginning of each year is also a relatively important peak season of the year, which means that there is no shortage of orders in the market during this period. Printing and dyeing factories mostly stop production because workers have to take holidays when they return home.
The more dyeing factories on the market are on holiday, the more orders there will be for the remaining dyeing factories. The influx of a large number of orders has also further increased the demand for dyes in printing and dyeing factories. By analyzing the quotations from dye giants and major production suppliers, disperse dyes may continue to rise in recent days! So is it possible that dye prices have fluctuated recently just because of good orders in the printing and dyeing market? Apparently more than that!
The printing and dyeing factory has insufficient inventory, and subsequent demand has increased significantly
The current overall dye inventory rate of the printing and dyeing factory In a relatively low state. Because of the continuous low price of dyes, printing and dyeing factories have been in a wait-and-see state for stocking up. At the same time, due to the severe global epidemic in 2020, the orders of most printing and dyeing companies are not as good as in previous years, and the overall demand for dyes is also low. It has become a habit to be unwilling to stock up on large quantities.
However, with the downstream stocking and replenishment of spring, summer and autumn and winter fabrics, As the cargo season arrives, printing and dyeing companies have not been much affected by the epidemic. Instead, they have bucked the trend and gone up. For dyes, printing and dyeing companies and dye dealers are also ushering in the stocking season, and the shipments of major dye companies have increased rapidly during this period! At present, dye prices are at a cycle low, and the potential for dyes to rise continues to increase! Coupled with the current low inventory of dye giants such as Longsheng and Runtu, and some varieties are out of stock, there is bound to be a surge in prices.
The price of intermediates has risen, and the cost of dyes has increased
Affected by various factors such as the rise in basic chemical raw materials, the prices of dye intermediates have Continuing to rise, the prices of core intermediates are as follows:
It is understood that China The largest nitrochlorobenzene company, Bayi Chemical, had its feeding system seized by the Bengbu Emergency Management Bureau and imposed administrative penalties. Nitrochlorobenzene is an important intermediate for dyes, pesticides and medicines. The domestic annual production capacity of nitrochlorobenzene is 830,000 tons, and Bayi Chemical has an annual production capacity of 320,000 tons. Its output accounts for about 39%, ranking first in the industry. p-Nitrochlorobenzene is the main raw material of anisole and reducing products, which will affect the production cost of dispersed blue HGL and dispersed black ECT. After the closure of the old Bayi Chemical plant, and before the new plant starts construction, the downstream series of nitrochlorobenzene products will operate in the high price range.
The price of dyeing fees may rise
Generally speaking, printing and dyeing companies will have two or three price increases every year. The increase will only be more frequent if it hits the peak season. But in the past 2020, due to the weakening of the overall market, printing and dyeing companies lost the right to raise prices. Throughout the whole year, it seems that only in October, due to the market recovery and the sharp improvement in orders from printing and dyeing factories, there was an increase in dyeing fees, and the price increase was not large. However, the rent, labor, environmental protection and other costs that printing and dyeing companies have to face have not been reduced as much as the epidemic, and the operating pressure of the entire printing and dyeing industry is also very high.
The price of dyes has been increasing recently. Once the price increase of dyes becomes a reality, it will increase the costs of printing and dyeing factories. Printing and dyeing companies will inevitably passively increase dyeing fees to balance this increase in costs. At the same time, judging from the market situation at the end of the year, the order volume in the textile market after the year will not be bad. With cost and demand support, the increase in dyeing fees seems reasonable. Once dyeing fees rise, suppliers who have quoted prices in the early stage will have to face rising costs and reduced profits.
Like the weaving market, upstream raw material prices have gradually pushed up the price of gray fabrics after bottoming out. The price of an important raw material in the printing and dyeing market is also beginning to move, and the entire demand and cost side are supporting the increase in dye prices. The market after the Spring Festival may see an increase in dyeing fees due to dyes. Traders should take into account possible changes in dyeing fees when quoting prices to customers.
