Calm Look At Another Textile Raw Material Rise, Prepaid Fabric Has Already "Heard The Wind"

Have to say, in the whole textile terminal environment is not particularly prominent, some commodity prices or like a runaway wild horse! Especially nylon and spandex, the early rise speed has made many textile owners "headache"!

Recently, nylon raw material giant, to raise the market!

Following the recent PA66 force majeure statement, BASF recently issued a price increase letter.

BASF announced an increase in the price of caprolactam, nylon 6 and nylon 6 / 66 copolymers in North America. From May 1, or as permitted by the contract, each of the three products will be increased by 30 cents / pound (about 4300 yuan / ton).

Although BASF did not give any explanation for the price increase, Pt has previously reported that prices have been on an upward trajectory since the beginning of this year. Nylon 6 prices rose 15 cents / lb in January February as suppliers implemented the growth they announced at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020 on the basis of rising raw material prices and increased demand from the automotive and fiber / textile industries. In April, BASF also issued a price increase letter, announcing that the price of PA6 and caprolactam was increased by 15 cents / pound (2170 yuan / ton), and that of copolymer was increased by 18 cents / pound (2604 yuan / ton).

Industry insiders believe that due to the extremely cold winter weather along the Gulf Coast in February, which caused the closure of raw materials and resin plants, resulting in demand exceeding supply, prices may rise further in May. Recently, the Ministry of Commerce has also implemented anti-dumping measures against imports of nylon 6 chips from the United States, the European Union, Russia and Taiwan. Including BASF, Ronson, DSM and other engineering plastics giants!

The preferential treatment at the early stage was cancelled and the sale was restricted at a low price, Nylon market has a rising atmosphere

Since the middle of last month, the upstream caprolactam market has started an upward trend. Recently, the upstream caprolactam in the nylon industry chain has increased greatly, and the overall cost support is obvious.

From the cost side, the pressure of cost support only increases, but the nylon fiber manufacturers are affected by the cost, and there is an atmosphere of exploration. Some manufacturers try to follow up the increase of 200-300 yuan / ton, and some manufacturers cancel the preferential treatment in the early stage and are reluctant to sell at low prices.

More momentum, some of the Nisi spinning fabric into a black horse sales

At the same time, the downstream demand of nylon industry has also improved.

Since April, the overall operation of textile fabric market is relatively stable, and there is no large-scale rush to increase prices. From the demand side, although the overall start-up remained normal and stable, the demand follow-up was slightly dull. Some customers set their production according to sales, and the follow-up of new orders was not much cautious. Downstream customers were resistant to high-priced raw materials, and there was still a bearish atmosphere in the future market. Therefore, there was a customized contract on the demand side. But some nylon fabrics have a strong momentum and become a black horse in the fabric market.

"There are factories that produce 380, 400 dull nylon spinning machines all the year round, and the machines can run to 1000 units. They have been queuing up to pick up goods some time ago. This period of time is better. They can take tens of thousands of meters at a time without waiting." One trader in Shengze said.

"380 and 400 dull nylon spinning rose from 2.9 yuan / m at the beginning of the year to 3.2 yuan / m, and 3.1 yuan / m to 3.4 yuan / m, respectively. The market prospect of this kind of fabric is still very good." A textile boss said.

As the exclusive fabric of autumn and winter products, Nisi textile products have been enduring in the market. At present, it is in the transition season between spring and summer. As the main fabric of sunscreen clothing, Nisi textile also has seasonal demand. In recent years, with the large-scale rise of sun proof clothing market, this kind of fabric has become the focus of the public after elastic fabric. In addition, many orders of the weaving manufacturers mentioned by the above traders are exported to foreign markets. Some manufacturers have begun to prepare down jacket fabrics. 380 and 400 dull nylon spinning is a kind of high-end Nisi spinning, which is just the high-quality fabric for making down jacket.

Due to the rising price, the manufacturer can prepare the goods properly

This year's market is still relatively special. Although the global economy is recovering slowly, the impact of the epidemic on the market has not dissipated. Especially in the countries with serious overseas epidemic situation, the blockade has not ended, the ports are stagnant, and the consumption has dropped sharply year-on-year. All these are undoubtedly nothing for the textile industry.

All kinds of signs show that terminal demand has not yet obvious signs of recovery, many textile people are still pessimistic about this year's market. Nylon as a textile raw material to have a breakthrough in high prices is still "Dongfeng". However, the short-term price of raw materials is still strong, manufacturers can properly stock up, so as to avoid the later prices continue to rise, production costs are mercilessly pulled up!
