Technological Progress Will Significantly Reduce The Cost Of Non Cotton Fiber Replacement

Due to the high cost of pure cotton products, many textile enterprises have turned to non cotton fibers to replace cotton fibers, resulting in reduced cotton consumption. At present, the price of cotton is around 15500 yuan/ton, while the price of polyester staple fiber is 7600-7700 yuan/ton, and the price of viscose staple fiber is around 13400 yuan/ton. If some non cotton fibers are added to the raw materials, the cost of yarn will drop significantly.

In recent years, with the progress of science and technology, many non cotton fibers have done very well in their performance. For example, viscose staple fibers are easy to dye, free of impurities, good spinnability, skin friendly and other characteristics, which can alleviate the cost pressure of cotton textile enterprises and improve the dilemma of the textile industry caused by high cotton prices. Super cotton like polyester is a kind of differential functionalized polyester fiber, with polyester content of more than 85%. Super cotton like polyester has similar vision, touch and wearing affinity with cotton, and even surpasses cotton in some aspects. In addition, it has the characteristics of moisture absorption, sweat absorption, wearing comfort, etc. of cotton, and also has the advantages of wear resistance, high strength, etc. It can even add UV resistance Flame retardant, antibacterial and other functions.

It can be said that non cotton fibers have advantages both in price and performance, and cotton textile enterprises in the mainland have failed to compete with Xinjiang textile enterprises in recent years. Therefore, most of the mainland textile enterprises have turned to producing blended yarns or chemical fiber yarns in recent two or three years to reduce the competition with Xinjiang cotton textile enterprises in the pure cotton yarn industry.
