Influence Of New Pneumonia Virus Epidemic On Chemical Fiber Industry And Its Promotion

During the Spring Festival this year, a new pneumonia virus has come into the world. The epidemic has affected the global market. Global oil prices fell for four weeks, falling to a low of six months. The WTI crude oil main contract closed at 51.56 U.S. dollars / barrel, fell 4.9% weekly, and fell 15.6% in January, a huge decline since May last year. The main contract of Brent crude oil has been collected at 58.16 US dollars / barrel, and the week has fallen 4.2%.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, the downstream industry of the PTA&MEG industry chain has seen a delay in construction. According to relevant statistics, the commencement time of main weaving production bases such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong has been delayed by 2 to 9 days before the beginning of the holiday.

It is worth noting that for PTA and MEG production enterprises, because of the integration and large-scale production enterprises, the epidemic has limited impact on their supply. During the Spring Festival holiday, domestic PTA and MEG production enterprises began to operate smoothly.

And many textile industries have responded positively to the call of the state. Most textile factories and printing and dyeing factories have been delayed. According to research data of long Zhong information, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other major weaving production enterprises were first planned to start in February 10th (January seventeen), compared with the pre holiday plan, which was generally postponed for 2-9 days. However, the sample enterprises also indicated that February 10th was the scheduled starting time for the project, and the actual production situation still needs to be adjusted according to the situation of the field workers.

However, for the polyester staple industry, there are relatively few enterprises producing spunlaced nonwovens, and less can be used for medical purposes. Therefore, the epidemic has few advantages for polyester staple fiber industry.

In particular, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian have announced that their working hours have been postponed to February 9th. Some export orders have been reported to be in the form of withdrawal. Affected by this, the post market polyester fiber market will be vulnerable to operation.

In contrast, because of the strong demand for mask and protective clothing, medical nonwovens PP materials are attracting market attention. The proportion of non-woven fabric masks is about 25%, and a ton of polypropylene fiber can produce 250 thousand protective masks.

According to the 100 million person's choice of wearing masks, the demand for 3 billion masks is increased by one month, and the corresponding demand for non-woven fabric PP is about 12 thousand tons. For polypropylene with an annual output of nearly 20 million tons, the demand for this part can be said to have relatively little impact on the price of PP.

Comprehensive analysis: the epidemic control and downstream resumption are still the focus of attention at present. As the current market stoppage enterprises are more, especially the labor intensive textile enterprises, and the export of clothing and textiles has been blocked, the overall demand of the chemical fiber industry has obviously weakened trend. Under the condition that the supply of chemical fiber materials has not changed much, it is an inevitable trend to continue storehouse.
