Due To The Rise In Cotton Prices&Nbsp; This Year, The Chemical Fiber Composition Of Winter Clothing Of Composite Fabrics Increased

　　 "Every family cotton mill As we all know, it is difficult to get cotton this year, and the price is high quality It is also difficult to meet the quality requirements, and the spinning cost will certainly be affected. The enterprise will reconsider the way out. How to survive? What kind of spinning can make more money? Many people think of chemical fiber varieties. " Yesterday, Wang Guozhong, the operator of Qianqing raw material market in China Textile City, told reporters Chemical fiber raw materials When people rush into the chemical fiber market, the chemical fiber raw materials will be in short supply, and the price will naturally rise

　　 Since this year, the domestic cotton price has risen from less than 14000 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to more than 27000 yuan/ton at present, a new high in 15 years. As a substitute for cotton, the price of polyester staple fiber also went out of the trough and began to enter the boom cycle of rising prices and quantities.

Clothing enterprises generally increase the content of chemical fiber. "Recently, the chemical fiber products led by polyester staple fiber have increased from more than 9000 yuan per ton to 13000 yuan per ton, an increase of more than 30%." Wang Guozhong said that fabrics containing acrylic fiber, spandex and other chemical fibers have also increased, but what does not match is that most export clothing prices can only increase by 10% or 20% at most.

"In the past, the price of chemical fiber products was mostly affected by oil price fluctuations, but now the price of chemical fiber is following the cotton price." Zhang, Deputy General Manager of a clothing enterprise in Kebei Industrial Park, Shaoxing County, said that the growth of chemical fiber is still within the acceptable range of enterprises. "There are few pure cotton products on the market now. Even casual clothes with high cotton content generally have about 20% chemical fiber ingredients."

The reporter then called several garment enterprises in Shaoxing County and Hangzhou City to learn about the situation. They all said that the cost of producing pure cotton clothes this year was high, so enterprises increased the use of chemical fiber. It is reported that due to the rapid rise of cotton prices and other factors, many fabric enterprises have increased the use of chemical fiber, which can effectively relieve the cost pressure on the one hand, and on the other hand, adding some chemical fiber products can make the produced fabrics more wear-resistant, more elastic, less moldy, easy to clean and dry.

The price of chemical fiber raw materials is rising

Cotton prices have risen sharply recently, and enterprises have increased the proportion of polyester and viscose fibers to avoid risks. On the other hand, this has boosted the demand for polyester and viscose fibers, which in turn has pushed up their prices.

The reporter learned from the Qianqing raw material market of China Light Textile City that in the first half of this year, the price of polyester staple fiber has been in a fluctuating range from the price trend. From the beginning of the year to September, the price remained around 10000 yuan/ton. Affected by the growth of downstream demand and export recovery, the polyester staple fiber industry has experienced an upward boom since the third quarter. At present, the price of polyester staple fiber has risen to 13000 yuan/ton. From the perspective of the price difference between cotton and polyester staple fiber per ton, it has now expanded to 10000 yuan, while from the perspective of history, the normal price difference should be 3000~4000 yuan/ton. Such a huge price difference means that the amount of polyester replacing cotton will gradually increase.

　　 Some operators of Qianqing raw material market believe that the possibility of chemical fiber price correction is not very high in the short term. "Generally, the price difference between polyester staple fiber and cotton is about 4000 yuan per ton, but now the price difference is more than 10000 yuan per ton, which is bound to increase the price of polyester and other chemical fiber products." Professionals analyze that because the supply and demand gap of cotton still exists, the "substitution effect" of chemical fiber may continue to appear at the end of the year, and polyester and other chemical fiber products are expected to enter the "boom cycle". In addition, the stabilizing price of polyester and other chemical fiber raw materials also promoted the steady rise of polyester prices to a certain extent.
