Not only the price is rising, but also the goods can not be bought. Reporters call Shandong, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, a number of non-woven manufacturers, most manufacturers replied: "masks do not use non-woven fabrics!"

Chongqing Chung Tai nonwovens Co., Ltd. produces non-woven fabrics that can be used to make masks. The company says it has not been ordered for many days, and the spunbonded nonwoven fabric orders are now in May.

Diapers, wipes manufacturers are affected, businesses are facing a shutdown.

Upstream market begins to return to reason

The production of masks requires polypropylene, and the surface layer of the diapers also needs polypropylene. Demand drives the price of polypropylene to skyrocket. Earlier, polypropylene market price of 6000 yuan / ton, the recent rise to 13000 yuan / ton, for a period of time has risen to over 30000 yuan / ton.

"Masks are needed for making masks, but all polypropylene materials have no difference in demand and over speculation." Business Analyst Man Rongrong said, but with the relevant departments to vigorously rectify the market, the industry to mask the popularization of polypropylene materials, polypropylene market gradually return to reason.

Among them, the price of polypropylene drawing has been callback since last Friday, or the market is returning to rational signals. Man Rongrong said that at present, the factory price of masks with polypropylene fiber is stable, and demand is acceptable. "The whole polypropylene market is getting weaker and weaker, gradually returning to the general law of supply and demand price."

Lifting the price of masks? Thorough investigation! These work will start.

On the afternoon of March 12th, the joint defense and joint control mechanism of the State Council held a news conference to introduce the situation of strengthening market supervision and risk investigation. At the meeting, Chen Zhijiang, an inspector of the competition Supervision Bureau of the market supervision department, said that the problem of too high and too fast rising of the melt spraying cloth was indeed present. With the continuous increase of mask production capacity, the output of melt blown fabric did not catch up with time, resulting in a certain supply and demand contradiction. Some illegal operators took the opportunity to drive up prices and disrupt market order. In this regard, the market regulators attach great importance to act quickly and resolutely cut off the interest chain that disrupts market order. Mainly from the following aspects:

First, deploy special investigations. In March 5th, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued an urgent notice on the special investigation of the price of melted cloth, and deployed 8 provinces, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan and Shandong, to carry out a special investigation on melted spray cloth, concentrating on giving priority to dealing with the complaint and report of the melted cloth price, and resolutely investigating and investigating the suspected illegal activities.

Second, organize special investigations. We have dispatched a capable force to organize two ad hoc groups and jointly investigated the relevant cases with the public security departments. We have arranged two clues, and investigated five cases from two clues and exposed them publicly. Take the initiative to communicate and consult with relevant departments and relevant industry associations, and conduct market surveys for key provinces.
