Will Dye Prices Rise Again At Home And Abroad? Will "Price Surges" Spread To The Lower Reaches?

In April 2nd, international dye giant Huntsman issued a notice of price increase, and the new price policy came into effect in April 8th.

On the same day, Camilla, a global chemicals supplier, raised the price of dye products by 15%~25%. The price increase came into effect on April 15th.

At the same time, the price of domestic dyestuffs increased again, and the price of disperse dyes increased by 3000 yuan per ton from April 10th to 53 thousand yuan / ton, up 77% from the end of last year.

The price rise from top to bottom will undoubtedly sweep across the entire textile industry.

...

1, why price increases? Multiple factors, imbalance between supply and demand.

This year, the price of dyes is rising fiercely.

It is reported that the domestic dyestuff production base is limited due to environmental reasons, and some of the small and medium dyestuff production plants have been shut down, and the supply of dyestuffs has suffered unprecedented pressure.

Affected by the leakage of dye intermediate effluent in Hebei last year, the national dyestuff production park once again conducted a comprehensive environmental inspection.

Especially in the Shangyu City, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, the main city of dye production, the EPA requires that by the end of 2020, the relocation of chemical enterprises outside Hangzhou Bay Development Zone will be realized. The total control of Shangyu chemical enterprises will be less than 90, and in the next few years, a sub dye auxiliaries will be shut down.

In addition, the East China Environmental Protection Supervision Center of the Ministry of environmental protection will also conduct a comprehensive environmental inspection of chemical polluting enterprises in Shangyu District of Shaoxing in the near future. Not only will the main polluting enterprises be inspecting, but also the enterprises who complain or exceed the standards will be investigated thoroughly.

The strict implementation of the "263" special operation in Jiangsu, another dye Province, has also led to a direct shutdown of the disperse dye producers in Jiangsu Chemical Industrial Park.

At the same time, the price of disperse dye intermediates has risen sharply, and the price of hexachlorion has increased by more than 260% over the same period.

Intermediate six bromine and so on also appeared the situation of shortage rise.

Among them, the dispersed filter cake raw materials are affected by the environmental pressure of the manufacturers, and disperse 288 orange, 93 purple and 291 blue.

The recent introduction of environmental taxes has also had a great impact on some dyestuff manufacturers. In addition, the Ministry of Commerce decided to investigate anti-dumping investigations on important raw materials, such as phenol, and also affected the trend of dye prices.

In addition, as the global textile industry improves, downstream printing and dyeing enterprises are in the peak season, dyestuffs.

The contradiction between supply and demand is further aggravated.

2. What's the impact?

The surging price of dye has obviously brought a great impact to downstream enterprises.

"Dye fees have been rising since the beginning of this year.

Moreover, the fee is rising and the delivery time is also postponed.

A person in charge of foreign trade company in Keqiao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, said for more than 20 years, "the date of delivery is not as long as 10 days or half a month in advance, but directly after 20 days."

His remarks were confirmed by Fu Shuangli, chairman of Zhejiang Ying Feng Polytron Technologies Inc. "Now the company is fully loaded, and the delivery time is almost 1 months."

Speaking of fees, he said the company has risen 2 times since the beginning of the year, up by 4~5 percentage points.

Like Ying Feng Technology, Qiu Jianxia, chairman of Zhongcheng printing and dyeing Co., Ltd. also said that this year's business is really good. At present, all workshops have been working hard to drive production.

Since the beginning of the year, the company's fees have been increased only 1 times, or about 5%~6%.

"The dye fee has to rise, and considering the acceptability of our customers, we dare not go too far. The increase in dye fees is far behind the increase in dye."

Qiu Jianxia said, "although business is more popular than usual this year, the profit margins are shrinking."

Facing the rising price of upstream dyestuff enterprises, the executives of printing and dyeing enterprises have calculated an account.

Fu Shuangli admitted that since the beginning of the year, the comprehensive cost of dyeing auxiliaries, artificial materials and packaging materials has increased by 6~7 percentage points. Considering the acceptance ability of customers, the company's dye fee has increased by only 4~5 percentage points.

"Some of our dyestuff materials were prepared last year, so the impact of price increases is small, and profits have been guaranteed."

For those printing and dyeing enterprises that do not stock up, the comprehensive cost of dyeing and finishing materials is higher.

In addition, in view of the rising price of dyes, another industry insider told reporters that in order to balance the cost of expenditure, the purchase of textile auxiliaries in some enterprises will be reduced.

"Often when the price of dye rises, it is the stage of the decline in the price of additives.

Because some auxiliaries are not necessary in production, some enterprises will reduce procurement or even stop using at this point. "

In this regard, he suggested that although the general auxiliaries do not need recycling, some special treatment agents (such as hygroscopic and sweating finishing agents, aloe vera finishing agents, antibacterial deodorant treatment agents, aromatic finishing agents, cool feeling finishing agents and heat sensitive finishing agents) should be reused reasonably, so as to reduce the cost of additives.

3, the future trend? Maintain steady low speed growth.

What will happen to the price of dyes in the future?

"From the supply and demand point of view, the main dye factories in the near future have been operating at a high level. After the price has reached a high level, the intention of shipping is increased, and the tight supply of the market will be eased.

In addition, tariffs will be reduced after ASEAN integration, and will also have some impact on the domestic dye price system.

Some people in the industry also analyzed from the perspective of cost: "at present, the main domestic

The intermediates remained stable, while the overall cost of the dyestuff industry increased slightly with the price of some small varieties of raw materials. However, the conventional varieties were less affected and the production cost of conventional dyes remained stable.

The price of dye depends mainly on the supply of upstream raw materials, but the acceptance and cost pfer capabilities of downstream printing and dyeing enterprises are also the focus of market concern and the problems that dye enterprises need to consider.

During the recent exhibition of China's international dyestuff industry and organic pigment and textile chemicals, Li Lingshen, vice president of the China Textile Federation, made clear in his visit to dyestuff enterprises that he hoped that dyestuff enterprises could stabilize the price of dyes, the whole industrial chain should be coordinated development, and the downstream printing and dyeing industry should be closely related to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the textile industry.

In this regard, people in charge of enterprises have also indicated that they will work together with downstream industries to innovate and develop under the premise of adhering to environmental protection.

"Dyes in recent years

The overall development has been running steadily and steadily, and the overall production and sales volume has maintained a steady growth, and the volume of production and sales volume has risen.

Kang Baoxiang, Secretary General of China Dyestuff Industry Association, expects that the main economic indicators such as dyestuff and textile chemicals will keep steady and low speed growth in the future.
