On April 25, the price of polyester filament dropped by 100-150 yuan/ton;
On April 26, some companies saw price corrections.
I’m tired of seeing polyester prices rise and fall. Just two days ago, there was an article in this article saying that it’s the end of the month and it’s the purchasing node for raw materials for weaving companies. Polyester factories may use promotions to achieve the purpose of destocking. , and it did happen. On the day of the promotion on April 25, production and sales reached 400%, and some manufacturers even exceeded 1,000.
Polyester yarn is in the middle price
The price of polyester filament is constantly fluctuating. Compared with previous years, the price of polyester filament is relatively middle. The price of polyester filament is taken as an example of 150D FDY. In 2018, the textile market was at its peak, and polyester long The price of silk has also been at a high level in recent years. However, at that time, textile people were resistant to the increase in raw material prices, but not much. After all, goods are easy to sell, and if you can make money, the more expensive the raw materials are, it is obvious that starting in 2020, due to Public health factors can be seen from the price of polyester yarn, which has led to a cliff-like decline in the market.
Back to the present, the price of polyester filament is not particularly high in the overall general trend, and it feels like it is gradually recovering. Therefore, the current price of 150D FDY is quoted at 8,325 yuan/ton, but why does it feel like this even though it is in the middle price? The price is very high? In the final analysis, it is still a matter of market conditions. If this year’s “Gold, Three, Silver and Four” events are in full swing as imagined, then even if the price of polyester yarn rises to the 2018 price, you will still have to buy it, but the reality is not that ideal.
Price stabilization involves quotes
Of course, another aspect that makes raw materials feel expensive is the quotation. Due to the sluggish market, many companies rely on volume shipments. Although profits have declined seriously, it is still better than piling inventory in the factory. Therefore, stable raw material prices are of great benefit to the current situation. For weaving companies, it is the top priority. An article has said before that although the polyester factory seems to be in full swing, with prices rising and falling at times, the average price is actually very stable on days when production and sales are high.
Only stable raw materials can ensure the production enthusiasm of weaving companies. When visiting the market, when asked whether companies will adjust the price of gray fabrics when the price of raw materials increases, the answers given by the companies are very unified – no! The pressure of market competition does not allow weaving companies to increase prices at will. Once the price increases, the goods cannot be sold. On the contrary, the price is more likely to be reduced. For weaving companies, the only cost that may fluctuate is raw materials, so a stable raw material price It allows enterprises to have more operational opportunities.
Raw material prices may enter a long-term shock
From the above analysis, we can see that the fluctuations in raw material prices seem to always follow the cost side, but it is up to the weaving companies to judge whether they can be accepted in the end. When demand is insufficient, no matter how high the price of raw materials rises, it will be difficult for them to really want to Promotions still need to be carried out when going to the warehouse. Of course, there is also a psychological game for weaving companies, whether they buy up or continue to sell down, or even reduce production themselves.
Now we are facing the May Day holiday, and many companies are preparing to take a 1-2 day holiday. This just gives weaving companies entering the off-season a good reason to reduce production. The most indispensable thing now is gray fabric inventory, and what is left after the two days of holiday Let’s see if the raw materials can be used for a few more days. Maybe after a few days, the price of raw materials will drop again. However, looking at the current price curve chart, the overall price trend is still mainly stable, and polyester factories should also weigh the sharp rise and fall in the market.
The “differentiation” between the weaving end and the raw material end seems to be huge, but looking at the details, in fact, the two parties have also established a certain tacit understanding through exploration in recent years, and this tacit stability will continue to be maintained.
