Under the earthquake of cotton price, pure cotton began to be replaced by chemical fiber

With the advent of winter, the cotton yarn business households in Shaoxing Qianqing China Light Textile Material City felt a “chill”. Some business operators told reporters: “The price of cotton dropped from 31,000 yuan/ton at the highest peak to 19,000 yuan/ton at the lowest, and the “quake” of cotton prices caused the sales of cotton yarn to shrink rapidly, and the inventory gradually became larger. Raw materials are quietly replacing pure cotton."

According to report, at present, sales of new chemical fiber fabrics such as acrylic, nylon, lycra, and polyester fiber are gradually magnified. The trend of replacing traditional cotton fabrics seems to have been irreversible, and apart from soaring cotton prices, there are also cotton spinning. Corporate transformation and upgrading and changes in consumer demand and other factors.

Yarn prices continue to fall Zhang Guochang has been operating cotton yarn business for more than 10 years in Qianqing Light Textile Raw Materials City. He told reporters that domestic cotton prices have been rising since 2009.

Zhang Guochang said that at the end of January 2009, after the domestic cotton price reached 11,550 yuan/ton, it would have gone all the way as if it had run wild and it had risen to 32,000 yuan/ton in March this year, and then the cotton price had begun to go against the norm, and it The price of cotton has dropped to 19,000 yuan / ton, down nearly 40%.

The price of cotton “has become ill” and “taking medicine” is a downstream industry. In the second half of this year, due to the decrease in export orders, downstream consumption continued to be sluggish and yarn prices fell. Qianqing raw material market, 32s all-cotton yarn is currently the mainstream quoted at 25,500 to 2.6 yuan / ton, compared with the beginning of the year fell by 8,000 yuan / ton; 40s cotton yarn mainstream quoted at 27,000 to 27,500 yuan / ton, At the highest this year, it sold about 48,000 yuan/ton.

The reporters found that since the beginning of this year, due to the poor demand in the cotton yarn market, the price of viscose staple fibers in the market has dropped to RMB 17,700/ton; the prices of polyester staple yarn and polyester filament (FDY) have dropped to RMB 11,165/ton and 1.42 respectively. Million/ton.

The demand for new fabrics to replace pure cotton cotton prices fell, chemical fiber materials under pressure. The relevant personage of Shaoxing County Economic and Information Bureau stated that although chemical fiber prices have risen in recent years, the overall increase is much smaller than that of cotton. The current market price is only about two-thirds of that of cotton. In addition, faced with high cotton prices and insufficient export orders, Shaoxing's cotton spinning enterprises adjusted their structure in time, purchased chemical fiber to develop blended products, and reduced production costs. Currently, the market for chemical fiber garments is getting faster and faster, and more and more products are available.

Customs textile export data show that in the first three quarters of this year, the export price of yarn in Shaoxing increased by 27% year-on-year. Excluding price factors, the actual export growth of yarn was 1.82%. The export of chemical fiber products was significantly better than that of pure cotton products.

When reporters visited several shopping malls in urban areas, it was evident that various new fabrics are rapidly replacing traditional cotton fabrics. Although many labels on underwear and apparel are marked with cotton, only the percentage of cotton, acrylic, nylon, Lycra, polyester fiber and other chemical fiber components increased significantly, many underwear and even use bamboo fiber, wood fiber, silk and other new silk fabrics, feel the touch is more smooth than cotton, the label on the label even without cotton components.

The reporter found that it is now very difficult to find a common winter pure cotton clothing. Almost all fabrics are marked with chemical fiber. A salesperson at Hangzhou Runhe Shopping Mall stated that consumers prefer new fabrics because they are more comfortable to wear than cotton, and some fabrics have high technological content, such as good sweat-absorbing function, and are not easily deformed or deformed. Cotton, hard to wait!

The transformation and upgrading are effective. The decline in cotton prices may be a return of market attributes, but it is still at a high level compared with the prices in early 2009. The relevant personage of Shaoxing County Bureau of Commerce believes that this round of cotton price falls is caused by various factors. For example, due to the impact of European and American economies, the order volume of domestic textile companies has decreased, and the purchase price has to be depressed; the soaring cotton price causes downstream industries to be difficult to digest. Cotton spinning companies have to change their selection of chemical fiber raw materials, and the supply and demand relationship has begun to reverse.

Wang Zhijian, chairman of the Shaoxing County Apparel Industry Association, said that the difficulties faced by the domestic cotton textile industry are comparable to those of the 2008 financial crisis. Enterprises not only face financial constraints, shortage of labor, high inventory and low margin pressure, but also have to deal with electricity shortages and rising costs. Intense fluctuations in cotton prices and continued appreciation of the *** and other problems. From the perspective of the operation of textile enterprises in Shaoxing, with the exception of some micro-enterprises that experienced semi-discontinued production due to insufficient orders, the operation of large manufacturers was relatively stable. This was in line with the timely transformation and upgrading of local cotton spinning companies, and timely adjustment of the market and product structure. The transformation and upgrading began to gradually take effect.
