Japanese Chemical Fiber Industry Suffers From Inventory Pressure

According to the recently released trend of domestic chemical fiber industry in the first quarter of 2012, according to the Japan Chemical Fiber Association, Japan The import and export of textiles in the ASEAN region has increased significantly, and the production system of "China +1" has been widely applied to all production enterprises. Meanwhile, Japan's domestic chemical fiber industry has also been affected by the shrinking market in Europe and the United States. Stock The pressure of growth.

In the first quarter of this year, Japan's exports to the ASEAN region increased significantly, and textile exports amounted to US $2 billion 380 million, an increase of 4.9% over the same period last year. Among them, exports to China amounted to 830 million US dollars, down 1% from the same period last year. Yes Thailand Exports grew by 27.5%, to Indonesia by 10.1%, to Malaysia by 1.5%, to Vietnam by 16.9%. In the same period, Japanese textile imports amounted to US $10 billion 200 million, an increase of 7.9% over the same period last year. Among them, imports from China amounted to 7 billion 240 million US dollars, an increase of 5%. Imports from Vietnam increased by 30.5%, from Indonesia to 30%, and from Thailand by 2.6%. Imports from ASEAN totaled 1 billion 420 million US dollars, an increase of 27.1%. Overall, imports from ASEAN countries have seen a substantial increase.

In the first quarter, Japan's domestic chemical fiber production reached 247 thousand tons, down 3.3% from the same period last year. Among them, cellulose fiber was 44 thousand tons, down 0.3%. Of the 4 main chemical fiber varieties, the output of polyester filament is 42 thousand and 643 tons, down 6%, which is closely related to the shrinking of the export of high density fabrics and the growth of inventory in Europe and the United States. Affected by the trend of energy conservation, the use of clothing lining fabrics has also declined. The shortage of resources and the advance of the procurement period resulted in a delivery of 36 thousand and 30 tons in the first quarter, unchanged from previous years. Textile yarn production increased slightly year by year. Polyester staple fiber is slightly lower than the previous year's 39 thousand and 261 tons. The output of nylon filament is about 25 thousand and 112 tons, an increase of 5.7%.

Fabric production was 36 million 830 thousand square meters, an increase of 15.4% over the same period last year. nothing Track Pants Sales of socks and pantyhose are strong, and lightweight feather down products are more optimistic in large stores. The boom of the European outdoor market has declined, and the appreciation of the yen has had a great impact on the sales of such products. According to the data released by Japan Chemical Fiber Association in June 27th, the output of chemical fiber in Japan was 85 thousand and 104 tons in May, down 4.4% compared to the same period last year, and it was also a year-on-year decline in 7 consecutive months. Among the main chemical fiber varieties, polyester filament was 15 thousand and 34 tons, a slight increase of 0.7% over the same period last year, and polyester staple fiber was 1.3115 tons, down 3% compared with the same period last year. The nylon filament was 8326 tons, an increase of 9.3% over the same period last year, and the resin S was 11 thousand and 266 tons, down 20.4%.

Chemical fiber stocks were 95 thousand and 79 tons, an increase of 3.7%, an increase of 3.3% over the same period last year. Among the main varieties, polyester filament is 16 thousand and 216 tons, an increase of 8.6% over last month. Polyester staple fiber was 24 thousand and 237 tons, increased by 4.6%; nylon filament was 9654 tons, an increase of 0.1%, and resin S was 17 thousand and 350 tons, reducing 0.8%.
