Reactive dye prices fell by 30%

Since New Year's Day, the price of dyestuffs has soared, and prices have risen sharply more than 10 times, unprecedented! Printing and dyeing enterprises are miserable. With the increase in cost and the severe environmental protection impact, printing and dyeing companies in the three major printing and dyeing areas in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Fujian have developed in the Baotuan Group. They have successively raised prices for printing and dyeing processing to cope with the current situation in the printing and dyeing industry.

The annual 3-5 months is the peak season for printing and dyeing companies. However, this year's market conditions are not optimistic and overall efficiency is lower than in previous years. Although there was a short “peak season”, it was just a “flash in the pan”. That is, people in the industry said that "the peak season is not prosperous, and the off-season is even lighter!"

Recently, due to the overcapacity of upstream chemical companies, the dye intermediates and reducing substances have fallen sharply, and the downstream printing and dyeing demand has decreased, which has led to a downward adjustment in dye prices. According to the textile printing and dyeing apparel information platform, scattered and reactive dyes have declined since mid-May, and the price of reactive dyes has generally been reduced by around 10,000 yuan per ton. The largest amount of reactive dyes, the current price has dropped to 40 yuan per kilogram, and 2 months ago, the price of reactive dyes is 64 yuan per kilogram. In particular, active Yuanqing fell from 40 yuan per kilogram at the beginning of the year to about 27 yuan per kilogram now, a decrease of nearly 32.5%.

Why does the price of dyes fall?

According to industry analysts, the price of dyes has declined in the past three months. This has been related to the gradual recovery of production capacity and the declining demand in the downstream printing and dyeing industry. The price increase of the reactive dyes was too rapid in the previous period due to insufficient supply of raw materials. In the second half of the year, with the recovery of upstream raw material production, the price drop is normal. ”

Dyes account for relatively lower production costs in downstream companies, but they can significantly increase the added value and profitability of downstream products. With the rise in the price of dyes, the price of printing and dyeing plants can also increase, but the problem is that the market demand for products is not large. The demand for chemical fiber products is at least 30% lower than that of last year. There are many printing and dyeing companies in Nathan. The price is always on the rise. Now, the price of dyes has fallen again, and printing companies are even more difficult to raise prices.

Market data shows that the price of dyes has risen in the first half of the year, but industry insiders said that the data show that the increase in dye prices is not as high as that of printing and dyeing companies. It may be that the two parties will have different prices when they pick the lowest price.

Will dye prices rise again in the future?

The rise in the price of domestic dyes has not been as significant for some companies that use imported dyes. The prices of most imported dyes are relatively stable.

As for the future trend of dyes, industry analysts say that this depends to a large extent on the upstream companies, the environmental pressures they face, and the downstream needs. With the increase in efforts to rectify high-polluting industries, the dye industry has caused frequent production cuts and limited production due to environmental reasons. The dye production capacity will still be affected. However, because of the low demand downstream, the price of dyes plays a role in both. It will remain relatively stable.

The industry is not optimistic about the continued downward trend in the price of dyes. Since the market has continued to rise during the previous period, unless there are sudden factors, the gains will not be too large.

Will printing and dyeing processing costs fall?

"Because the market has continued to rise during the previous period, unless there are sudden factors, the market outlook will not be much, but the whole printing and dyeing industry is still faced with other problems, and the price rise and fall of dyeing and dyeing actually depends largely on printing and dyeing. The industry is facing environmental pressures and downstream demand."

With the government's efforts to rectify the highly polluting industries, the printing and dyeing industry has caused production cuts due to environmental reasons. The situation of limited production will often occur, and printing and dyeing production will still have some impact. For some capable printing and dyeing plants, dyeing and dyeing The increase in fees is still the mainstream of future development!
