Since September, the overall fabric market has been running relatively smoothly, and there has been no large-scale order boom. “This September, the market is a bit slow!” Many people lamented that this year’s “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” in the fabric market is probably just like this. The market was booming in the first half of the year. Is it possible that the fabric market will show little improvement in the second half of the year? However, there are still many bright spots in the market. Nylon fabrics have gained momentum recently and have become a dark horse in the fabric market.
Nice spinning is hot selling, and the profit can reach 150 yuan/day!
“Recently, 380T and 400T nylon woven fabrics are relatively good in the market, and unlike the low profit in the early stage, the profit of a loom can reach 150 yuan a day recently. , the current market price is 4.2 yuan/meter, but many traders are still stocking up. The demand has not yet increased, and many traders are betting that the market will be better in the second half of the year.” A textile boss in Shengze area said.
“Nice spinning has picked up again during this period. Our factory has received an order of 600,000 to 700,000 meters. However, it seems that traders are stocking up on raw materials. The factory requires cash to queue up for 20D matte nylon DTY. The shortage of raw materials shows that the market demand is quite large.” Another textile boss said.
Nyspun fabric is a relatively common product on the market. This fabric is a spun silk fabric made of nylon filament. The entire cloth surface has the characteristics of flat and dense, smooth silk surface, soft hand feel, light but strong and wear-resistant, bright color, easy to wash and quick-drying. It is mainly used as a fabric for men’s and women’s clothing, especially for the lining of winter down jackets. In recent years, due to the influence of fashion trends, the characteristics of functional clothing products including spandex and nylon have received more and more attention from the market, which has stimulated the sales of related down jacket fabrics and has also driven the popularity of nylon fabrics to a certain extent.
In addition, as the domestic epidemic situation improved in the first half of the year, the market gradually recovered. Nylon fabrics have been in short supply in the market. With the arrival of winter in the second half of the year, the market has entered the peak purchasing season for down jackets. , many customers have greatly increased their demand for this fabric. On the supply side, there is a lot of pressure. On the one hand, environmental protection has become a trend again this year. Large-scale water-jet looms have been suspended, and the original production capacity has shrunk greatly. On the other hand, the output of nylon spinning is not high, with 24 hours a day. One machine can only produce about 100 meters per hour. The increase in demand and the decrease in supply have resulted in a recent imbalance between supply and demand for this product.
Upstream raw materials have risen strongly, supporting the improvement of nylon fabrics
Of course, the raw material side is also supporting the improvement of nylon fabrics. PA6 is the main raw material for nylon civilian yarn. In September, PA6 was strongly driven up by the price of the upstream raw material caprolactam. Judging from the price rise and fall of nylon and upstream raw materials in recent months, caprolactam has started a strong upward trend since mid-August, with the spot market price rising from 14,200 yuan/ton to 15,250 yuan/ton, an increase of approximately 7.4% in just 3 weeks. , and many companies in the caprolactam market have temporarily stopped temporarily, resulting in a temporary shortage of supply in the market. At the same time, the supply of PA6 has increased. With supply exceeding demand, the price has risen sharply last week, with a weekly increase of 200-750 yuan/ton. As raw materials rise, the domestic PA6 chip market continues to rise, with some brands increasing by 250-1,200 yuan per week.
The current nylon filament market is affected by the turmoil in raw material prices, and quotations are constantly being raised.
According to the judgment of industry insiders, in the short term, the nylon market will be supported by “peak season” orders and the cost side will continue to drive, and prices will still remain unchanged. There are rising expectations.
Nylon fabrics are unstoppable, polyester fabrics are unsatisfactory
Is it an overdraft requirement or is the peak season coming?
Upstream raw materials are soaring, and downstream market demand is booming. It can be said that the entire nylon industry chain is the highlight of the moment. The current nylon fabrics are unstoppable, but the market performance of polyester fabrics has been unsatisfactory since September. According to convention, the market trading atmosphere will pick up before the National Day, and downstream orders will be further released after the National Day. However, there are too many uncertainties in the market this year, and the boundaries between the off-season and the peak season have become blurred. Some business owners also reported that the hot sales of Nisi Fang have been from March to now. Most of the best-selling varieties may be used for summer sun protection clothing. Now the best-selling varieties are basically protective clothing and autumn and winter down jacket fabrics. However, since the hot sales of sun protection clothing have passed, many weavers in the market have reported that the hot sales of nylon silk fabrics are basically stockpiling by traders.
Although the current spring breeze for nylon fabrics is very good, market participants still need to carefully weigh whether the recent wave of market demand is stocking up for a rise or the arrival of the real peak season.
