This week (March 3-7, 2025), the market trend for the main raw material of viscose staple fiber, dissolved pulp, was weak, and the recovery of demand in the terminal market was not as expected. Downstream yarn factories mainly executed previous orders, and new prices for viscose staple fiber manufacturers were introduced. The actual focus of negotiations in the market did not fluctuate much, and the viscose staple fiber market operated weakly, with prices slightly lowered.
According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of March 7th, the average market price of viscose staple fiber was 13600 yuan/ton, a decrease of 120 yuan/ton from last week, with a weekly decline of 0.87%.
The trend of the main raw material dissolution slurry market is downward
This week (March 3-7, 2025), the upstream main raw material dissolution pulp market experienced a weak decline. As of March 7, the price of domestically produced dissolution pulp was around 7600 yuan/ton, the price of external broad-leaved pulp was around 930 US dollars/ton, and the price of coniferous pulp was around 1030 US dollars/ton. The prices of auxiliary materials in the market are all on the rise, with an average price of 1071.61 yuan/ton for 32% liquid caustic soda in the domestic market, an increase of 1.05% compared to the beginning of the month. Overall, the trend of the upstream main raw material dissolution slurry market is downward, while the auxiliary material liquid alkali market and sulfuric acid market continue to rise in price. The price center of the raw material market is declining, and the cost support of adhesive short fibers is weak.
Good supply and demand are hard to find
This week (March 3-7, 2025), some adhesive short fiber parking and maintenance facilities in Jiangsu have not yet restarted, while some adhesive short fiber facilities in Shandong and Xinjiang have increased their operating loads, resulting in a gradual increase in on-site supply; Downstream yarn manufacturers resumed work relatively late, coupled with poor shipments, resulting in low enthusiasm for picking up adhesive short fibers. The overall inventory level of the adhesive short fiber market has increased narrowly, and the support from the supply side is limited.
The downstream cotton yarn market equipment has basically resumed normal operation, with little price change. As of now, the price of ring spun human cotton yarn 30S in Jiangsu region is around 17500 yuan/ton. However, due to insufficient orders in the terminal market, the shipment situation of yarn factories is not ideal, and there is still a certain amount of raw material inventory and finished product inventory, resulting in a weak willingness to purchase adhesive short fibers, and it is difficult to find favorable support from the demand side.
Future forecast
From a cost perspective, the main material dissolution slurry market is dominated by consolidation; From the perspective of supply and demand, there are plans to increase the operating rate of some adhesive short fiber facilities in Jiangsu Province. The on-site supply may increase slightly, and the industry inventory may remain at a normal level. The downstream market or consumption of raw material inventory is the main focus, and there has been no significant improvement on the demand side. Overall, the market lacks good news to boost it. Business analysts predict that the domestic adhesive short fiber market price will not change much in the short term, and the price is expected to be accepted at 13600-13700 yuan/ton.
