Recently, protective clothing produced by polyester taffeta and pongee has become popular in the market. Nowadays, the popularity is getting stronger and stronger, which makes the sluggish gray fabric market become much more active. On the 24th, the editor heard that many large traders in the market had received orders for a total of 130 million meters of 210T polyester taffeta. For a time, the polyester taffeta on the market was sold out, and many weaving manufacturers even sold out the raw material for polyester taffeta!
For a conventional gray fabric like 210T polyester taffeta, 130 million meters is not difficult for the gray fabric market with high inventory. However, the sales of polyester taffeta have been rising recently, and the inventory has been almost exhausted. In addition, the fabric is used to produce protective clothing and needs to be dyed light blue, which requires clean and fresh gray fabric to meet the requirements. Therefore, weaving manufacturers need to produce new gray fabrics immediately, which leads to the chemical fiber factory’s 70/63D24F polyester raw materials being sold out!

According to a salesperson from a large chemical fiber company in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, 70/63D24F polyester is currently out of stock. They were all sold out, and you had to queue up to order the raw materials, especially the gray fabrics! The phenomenon of queuing up to order raw materials has never happened in recent years. The price of 210T polyester taffeta gray fabric is also rising every day. The average market price on the 24th was 0.88 yuan/meter. On the 25th, it had risen to 0.92 yuan/meter. It may be even higher in the future! This sensational big order instantly ignited enthusiasm in the weaving and chemical fiber markets!
Polyester taffeta is scarce, some manufacturers may have The holiday may be cancelled
According to the owner of a weaving company specializing in the production of polyester taffeta, currently all the gray fabrics of the full range of polyester taffeta specifications are out of stock, and raw materials need to be queued up. Polyester taffeta will begin to be out of stock. . This will drive up the operating rate of looms in the weaving market, and machines that were originally idle will be restarted. At present, according to the data monitoring of sample enterprises by China Silk City Network, the operating rate of water-jet and air-jet looms in Shengze area is 60-70%. And during recent visits and surveys, the editor also learned that many weaving companies are preparing for the May Day holiday. However, after such a large order is placed, some polyester taffeta manufacturers may have to cancel the May Day holiday and rush production.
As production keeps up in the later period, be wary of excessive polyester taffeta inventory
The textile market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang seems to have returned to the era of “cloth is hard to find” in 2017. However, after such an era, The legacy left behind is overcapacity. There is no doubt about the ability of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets to produce conventional varieties such as polyester taffeta. In addition, the threshold for polyester taffeta production is very low, and a large number of manufacturers may soon follow suit. This is also the editor’s worry about the future. It may only take a few months, or even a month, for polyester taffeta to go from “hard to find” to “stock accumulation”.
After the epidemic, the demand for protective clothing has decreased, and the supply of polyester taffeta may exceed demand
Although Polyester taffeta is currently scarce and very popular for protective equipment. However, according to the editor’s understanding, medical protective clothing requires biodegradable non-woven fabrics, and chemical fiber fabrics such as polyester taffeta cannot be decomposed and can only be used for protection in public places, not hospitals. Once the epidemic is under control, the demand for this type of protective clothing produced by Polyester Taffeta may also decrease. If the oversupply situation occurs again, the market will fall into the dilemma of high inventory.
Editor’s Note
So here, the editor reminds weaving manufacturers that when seeing business opportunities, they must still maintain a rational heart and be careful. Don’t blindly follow the production trend! <br
