The dye giants have announced that they will raise the price of domestic dyeing fees or they will usher in a "five consecutive rises".

HC Chemical Network News: Recently, several major dyes and chemical giants around the world have issued price increase notices, once again bringing a heavy blow to the printing and dyeing industry that is in the hot spot of “Golden Three Silver Four”, plus domestic environmental protection pressure The increase or decrease, the dyeing fee of “three consecutive rises” may usher in “four consecutive rises” and “five consecutive rises”, and due to the “butterfly effect”, a top-down price hike will be swept away by chemical fiber. industry……

Global dyes and chemical giants have issued price increases

On April 2, Huntsman, which represents imported dyes, issued a price increase notice. The price increase included all dyes and chemicals. The new price policy came into effect on April 8 after the price increase.

According to the company's notice, the fundamental reason for the price increase of dyes and chemical intermediates is that local governments have required many intermediate factories to be temporarily or permanently closed due to pollution problems. Due to the increase in production costs, only part of the increased cost can be allocated to the customer, otherwise production will not continue.

In addition, in view of rising costs including raw materials, transportation, energy and regulatory costs, chemical giants such as BASF, Clariant, Eastman, Arkema, Lyondell Basel and BYK have also issued price increases. Many raw materials such as black, pigments, dyes, plasticizers, and additives have started to increase in price since April...

Domestic dyeing fees may usher in "four consecutive rises" and "five consecutive rises"

During the "Golden Three" period, the printing and dyeing giants’ shares of the airliners actually increased their dyeing fees three times in just one month, and other companies also followed suit. The crazy market has continued into April, and the entire printing and dyeing market order is still unstoppable.

As the dyes account for a relatively large proportion of the cost of downstream printing and dyeing enterprises, the giants have increased their prices, which will soon trigger the price surge of printing and dyeing factories. At present, many printing and dyeing factories have issued price increase notices. In the follow-up, more dyeing factories will join the price increase army, and the dyeing fee will usher in the “four consecutive rises” and “five consecutive rises”. The last price adjustment of the airliner's shares was on April 1st. Is this time to keep calm or to refresh the historical record?

As a gathering place for printing and dyeing industry, environmental protection supervision in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other places is more stringent than other provinces. Taking Zhejiang as an example, the printing and dyeing capacity of Zhejiang Xiaoshan and Shaoxing accounts for more than 30% of the country's total production capacity. As the printing and dyeing factory is the key target of water pollution inspection, in the directory of key pollutant discharge units announced by Zhejiang Province in 2018, only 219 printing and dyeing factories in Shaoxing City are listed. With the continuous upgrading of environmental supervision, all printing and dyeing factories that fail to meet the standards are facing shutdown.

In addition, the continuous increase in inspections such as safety supervision and fire protection in 2018 has also put pressure on small and medium-sized dyes and printing and dyeing factories. When the industrial structure of the entire dye and printing and dyeing industry has undergone major reshuffle, the market supply will be greatly narrowed.

The continuous price hikes in the printing and dyeing industry will also put pressure on the weaving industry. At present, the conventional fabrics of Chun Yafang and polyester taffeta are still struggling in a tight supply and demand pattern. Dyeing factory white billets are piled up, delivery time is extended; small orders are not picked up, and complicated and difficult orders are not accepted; high-quality big customers have to wait in line... These are the conditions faced by cloth owners.

It is understood that due to the hot market, the current weaving manufacturers continue to ship, the inventory pressure is reduced, so the cost transmission is smoother, the price of grey cloth is on the verge. During the "Silver Four" period, the printing and dyeing factory will continue to stage spectacular scenes of shipping in line.
