Chemical Fiber Instead Of Cotton Short Term Import Yarn Difficult To Reverse The Impact Of The Domestic Market

By visiting spinning and weaving,

And other enterprises, we found that the use of chemical fiber in textile enterprises increased year by year, and the substitution of chemical fiber to cotton far exceeded expectations.

After the surge in cotton prices in 2010/2011, most of the spinning enterprises lowered.

The proportion of use instead of polyester.

Moreover, with the gradual spread of polyester cotton price difference, the polyester content of spinning enterprises is also gradually increasing.

A large denim producer in the whole industry chain of Changzhou, the proportion of cotton used for denim was close to 100% before 2010. Last year, the ratio of cotton to cotton decreased to 70-80%.

The company's production leader said there was still a plan to increase the proportion of chemical fiber this year.

A wide cloth dyeing and printing enterprise in Shaoxing also started to increase the use of chemical fiber in 2010.

The representative of the enterprise believes that the replacement of chemical fiber has slowed down significantly after four years of rapid growth.

Replacing cotton with chemical fiber is mainly based on polyester cotton price difference.

However, at present, cotton prices have dropped sharply, and the further increase of chemical fiber replacement ratio may encounter bottlenecks.

Over the past two years, the rapid growth of yarn imports has attracted much attention, and has also impacted the domestic spinning companies.

In 2012, China's yarn imports increased sharply to 1 million 530 thousand tons, and further increased to 2 million 100 thousand tons in 2013, the highest in history, down from 2 million 10 thousand tons last year.

According to the latest data, China's cotton yarn imports continued to increase substantially in 1 to March this year, mainly in India and Pakistan.

Low count yarn produced.

In the long run, imported yarn will continue to expand its share in the domestic market.

At a seminar held by the research group and related enterprises, a India cotton yarn importer in Ningbo said that the import of cotton yarn had dropped a lot in October last year, and this year it has rebounded and imports in March are relatively high. However, with the fall in domestic cotton prices, it is expected to fall in May.

India yarn and Pakistan yarn occupy the low end market of China's cotton yarns because of their high cost performance.

The importers expect cotton yarn imports to be flat this year.

According to a grey cloth manufacturer in Xiangshan, Ningbo, since last year, because of the impact of foreign products on low-end products, the price difference between cotton and domestic yarn has been gradually shrinking, so the company basically has no profit.

At present, the amount of imported yarn has been reduced to about 20%.

The above-mentioned large denim production enterprises in Changzhou are gradually increasing the proportion of imported yarn.

The person in charge of the company said that in the case of production needs, the outer yarn would be preferred, and the yarn imports accounted for 20% of the total consumption last year.

In addition, we also know that imported grey fabrics occupy a certain share of the domestic market.

An importer of grey fabrics in Shaoxing, Pakistan, said that there was no tariff on the import of grey fabrics, and that the cost of billet was higher than that. The annual increase of China's imports of Pakistan grey cloth is a trend.

Home textiles and garment links.

The replacement of cotton is far more than we can imagine. From the perspective of downstream consumption and cost, the replacement of chemical fiber is difficult to reverse.

In addition, the imported yarn has hit the domestic low-end market, and the future import of grey fabric will also gradually expand its market share in China.
