Introduction: Since the second quarter of this year, the profit level of polyester staple fiber has dropped sharply. So under such a low-profit background, will the expansion of the direct-spun polyester staple fiber industry slow down in the future?

Due to the limited consumption of polyester staple fiber, the expansion of 1.73 million tons of capacity is equivalent to an expansion of 20% on the basis of the current production capacity. Judging from this year’s situation, if the short fiber production capacity utilization rate can reach more than 95% The industry has certain oversupply pressure, and the future consumption growth rate is expected to be 5%-7%, so the industry will still face greater pressure in the future. </p
