Polyester factory: Is the last wave of market conditions coming this year?
The Spring Festival is approaching. For many textile and garment companies, year-end stocking is also a relatively important decision.
From the perspective of market conditions, the entire textile industry chain seems to have fallen into the abyss of “falling prices”, from polyester raw materials to spinning to gray fabrics, all of which are falling all the way!
PTA: From 9,300 yuan/ton in September 2018, it has dropped to around 4,700 yuan/ton currently, a cut in the middle!
MEG: From 8,600 yuan/ton in 2018 to the current low of 4,500 yuan/ton, A drop of approximately 47%!
Polyester filament: taking POY150D as an example, from September 2018 to 12,300 yuan/ton The high fell to 7,000 yuan/ton, a drop of 43%!
Grey fabric: Taking the conventional product 240T pongee as an example, this year it has increased from 2.40 yuan/meter It fell to 1.70 yuan/meter, a drop of nearly 30%.
After nearly half a year of downturn, the current market pessimism has eased. After the year The possibility of another sharp decline in polyester raw materials is less than last year. Therefore, it is indeed a good time to stock up at this stage. Many textile bosses said that the current products can really be said to be the lowest prices in history!
When a textile boss joked with the editor: If I had money on hand, I would consider stocking up, because at this price, I won’t lose money! Weaving companies have always had the habit of stocking up on raw materials at the end of the year, but they will continue to do so until the last 1-2 weeks before the Spring Festival. However, the editor would like to remind everyone that while stocking up, please also pay more attention to the outage time! </p
