Consumption Of Mask Increases Sharply, Boosting Demand For Raw Materials For Cotton Textile Industry

The consumption of daily masks has increased sharply since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia. The first is "wearing a mask". Based on the new health habits and health care concept, the production and sale of respirators have been snapped up and sold out. According to CCTV news reports, recently, China Textile Federation has arranged and thoroughly searched thousands of production enterprises such as masks, protective clothing, disinfecting wipes and key raw materials, and contacted more than 300 key enterprises one by one, and suggested that member enterprises should resume work and resume production during the Spring Festival.

According to preliminary statistics, up to now, the daily output of various medical masks is over 14 million, and the daily output of medical protective clothing exceeds 40 thousand pieces. In the face of many reasons for enterprises to resume work, but still need to be placed in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention, after the national holiday, more than 6 of the masks and other consumer protection products production and marketing enterprises first returned to work.

People's livelihood and medical masks and other protective products are mostly made of non-woven fabrics, paper, activated carbon and other materials, and the main or all materials used for masks are cotton or cotton all the time. Because of its vast territory and large population, the epidemic situation is still at a critical stage, and the reuse rate of protective devices such as masks is low, and the production consumables are huge. According to the social ownership of 1-3 masks per capita, billions of masks will consume a large amount of cotton resources, plus medical cotton protection, medical cotton and other sterilization and replacement, all of which will rapidly increase the demand for cotton processing.

According to the analysis of the industry, in addition to the sharp increase in the consumption of cotton fiber protective clothing such as masks and other cotton products, the social use of respirators increased, and the increase in the sales of respirator and other protective clothing products such as masks and supportive exports and trade will inevitably increase the production and sale of protective clothing such as masks and protective clothing. The industry group will also be expanded. Its resources will inevitably increase the market share due to the adjustment of supply and demand, which will attract the attention of the issuing industry.
