Market Analysis: Investigation On The Resumption Of Polyester Filament Production After The Festival

2022/2/9 15:22:00 0

On the first trading day after the festival, polyester filament market ushered in a good start, with both volume and price rising. However, with the decline of overnight crude oil and polymerization raw materials, the cost support is weakened, and polyester filament manufacturers are lack of driving force to continue to rise, and the price resistance of downstream users is heating up, and the production and sales of polyester filament are greatly reduced.

According to Longzhong's survey, the domestic polyester filament industry started 80.26% of its total production during the Spring Festival holiday, and most of the employees returned to work from February 6 to 8. After the festival, Jiangsu Lixin plant was restarted and Anji Huayi production line was restarted. The polyester filament production started to rise to 80.59%, up 0.33% compared with that before the festival. In this week, several sets of devices in Ningbo, Baihong in Fujian and Jinxin in Shaoxing began to warm up and restart There are maintenance plans after the new Fengming Festival, so the industry as a whole has little fluctuation, which is expected to maintain around 82%.

Holiday: the international oil price continued to rise, cost support, polyester filament ushered in a good start after the festival, the enterprise's quotation increased gradually, and downstream users worried about the increase in procurement costs, moderately replenished the warehouse, the overall production and sales within the day was 50-60%, higher production and sales were more than 100%. However, with the oil price callback, the cost side support is weakened, polyester filament manufacturers are more stable and wait-and-see, the market is stagnant, the resistance of downstream users to high prices is rising, some transactions are more than even, and the production and sales rate of most enterprises has dropped to less than 30%. The reason is that most of the downstream weaving enterprises plan to return to work and production in the middle of the month. At present, only a few enterprises are driving, and most enterprises are waiting for their employees to return to work. The weaving operation rate is expected to be on the right track by the end of February. However, before the festival, most weaving manufacturers have prepared goods, so the purchasing enthusiasm after the festival is not high, which depends on the price of raw materials.

To be specific, most of the downstream textile enterprises concentrate on returning to work from the eighth day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, and the earlier enterprises return to work on the eighth day of the first month. As of February 8, the comprehensive start-up rate of chemical fiber weaving in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 30.25%, which was 8.74% higher than that before the festival. At present, some enterprises opened on the eighth day of the first month are not fully put into production, The main reason is that several migrant workers are not fully in place, and most of them are still at home and have not returned home. At present, the textile raw materials in the upper reaches of the new year are getting off to a good start. However, the downstream users mostly prepare their goods before the year, and do not consider taking delivery in the near future. After the start of the new year, the orders are not transmitted to the users. Only the orders received before the year are relatively low, so there is no plan and arrangement for goods preparation. In the follow-up, it is expected that the full centralized resumption time will be concentrated in the next week, when the terminal textile weaving will be fully put into production as scheduled.
