Affected by the epidemic, some upstream enterprises are worried about the loss of orders, while others are short of supplies due to the shortage of raw materials. It is understood that at the end of March, a ton of more than 10000 Spunlaced non-woven fabrics had risen to more than 30000 a ton by April. Affected by the global epidemic, the demand for non-woven fabrics has soared, and the price has continued to rise. Up to now, it has soared 29 times and is still out of stock.

 

From the upstream raw material end, the price of polypropylene used to produce non-woven fabrics has increased significantly due to the epidemic situation. From the perspective of the supply side of non-woven fabrics in the middle and upper reaches, as Hubei Province is the center of the epidemic, the recovery of production capacity in Xiantao City, Hubei Province, the first important town of non-woven fabrics in China, is delayed, and the production capacity of non-woven fabrics in Hubei Province accounts for about one tenth of the total production capacity of the country. Coupled with the evolution of the global epidemic, imported raw materials have been rising, the contradiction of insufficient supply of non-woven fabrics has become more prominent.

 

"Under the epidemic situation, the supply of respirators and protective clothing by non-woven manufacturers is much higher than that of mask cloth, no matter profit or output. He Liangyun, chairman of Xi Ao, said in an interview that some imported membrane materials will soon be in short supply, but the market price of mask terminal will not fluctuate too much in the short term. Many brands will reduce their profits to maintain the original policy, and everyone will support the emergence of a node.

 

He Liangyun said that if the epidemic will not end in the short term, the result will be that it will not be able to support, the price will rise or the material will be replaced, the sales volume will decrease, and some low-end brands may soon withdraw from the market. At present, the most serious problem is that the epidemic not only affects the film cloth, but also affects the whole supply chain of cosmetics raw materials. In half a year, all cosmetics manufacturers will be faced with a shortage of imported raw materials, and factories will be forced to shut down. This is terrible. In the world, the quality of domestic raw materials is mostly inferior to that of imports. Under the epidemic situation, domestic demand will increase, and risks and opportunities coexist, which brings opportunities to domestic raw material production. I hope that after the epidemic, China's cosmetics will no longer rely on imported raw materials, but made in China.
