In February 2025, the price center of the adhesive short fiber market will increase. As of February 28th, the average market price of viscose staple fiber was 13720 yuan/ton, an increase of 260 yuan/ton from the beginning of the month, with a monthly increase of 1.18%. The upstream raw material market prices remain firm, with cost support remaining. The inventory level in the market is not high, and coupled with the increasing operating load of downstream yarn factories, businesses have sufficient confidence in the future. Some adhesive short fiber manufacturers have raised their prices, resulting in an increase in high priced sources in the market and a rise in the monthly average price of adhesive short fiber.
In terms of cost: In February, the market price of the main raw material for adhesive short fibers, dissolved pulp, was high. Due to the continued tight situation of the South American rainy season or export restrictions in Southeast Asia, the price of dissolved pulp may remain high, supporting the cost of adhesive short fibers. The market price of auxiliary liquid alkali has risen at a high level, while the market price of sulfuric acid has fallen narrowly. The market price of raw materials has shifted upwards, and the average production cost of adhesive short fibers has increased.
Supply and demand: From the supply side perspective, February 2025 falls around the Spring Festival, and the pre holiday stocking and post holiday resumption pace of domestic textile factories will directly affect short-term demand. In February, there was little fluctuation in the supply of adhesive short fibers in the market, and the inventory levels of various manufacturers were not high. There was no sales pressure at the moment, and the supply side provided some upward momentum for the market. The operating rate of downstream cotton yarn market is not high, and prices are mainly stagnant. Downstream yarn manufacturers plan to resume work slightly later. Although adhesive short fiber manufacturers have raised their quotes and increased on-site inquiries, actual transactions are limited and demand side performance is poor.
Market forecast:
The main material dissolution slurry market and auxiliary material liquid alkali market have strong prices, while the high cost of adhesive short fibers remains stable. In the short term, the adhesive short fiber market is expected to operate stably, with little fluctuation in industry supply and low inventory levels on site, and there is currently no significant inventory pressure. March is the traditional peak season for textiles, and downstream yarn mills may release their demand for replenishing inventory in a concentrated manner. Business analysts predict that the domestic adhesive short fiber market will be strong in March, with prices remaining stable and fluctuating, mainly rising. Prices are expected to be around 13700-14000 yuan/ton for acceptance.
