This week (February 2-8, 2025), the price center of the adhesive short fiber market has slightly increased. As of February 8th, the average market price of viscose staple fiber was 13660 yuan/ton, an increase of 100 yuan/ton or 0.74% compared to the pre holiday price. The upstream raw material market prices remain firm, with cost support remaining. The inventory level in the market is not high, and coupled with the increasing operating load of downstream yarn factories, businesses have sufficient confidence in the future. Some adhesive short fiber manufacturers have raised their prices, resulting in an increase in high priced sources in the market and a slight increase in adhesive short fiber market prices.

In terms of cost, there has been little change in the market price of the main raw material for viscose staple fiber dissolution slurry this week, while the market price of auxiliary liquid alkali has risen at a high level. The market price of sulfuric acid has fallen narrowly, and the center of gravity of the raw material market price has shifted upward. The average production cost of viscose staple fiber has slightly increased.
Supply and demand: From the supply side perspective, there is little fluctuation in the supply of adhesive short fibers in the market after the new year, and the inventory levels of various manufacturers are not high. There is currently no sales pressure, and the supply side provides some upward momentum for the market. The operating rate of downstream cotton yarn market is not high, and prices are mainly stagnant. Downstream yarn manufacturers plan to resume work slightly later. Although adhesive short fiber manufacturers have raised their quotes and increased on-site inquiries, actual transactions are limited and demand side performance is poor.
Market forecast:
The main material dissolution slurry market and auxiliary material liquid alkali market may remain strong in price, while the sulfuric acid market may still decline. It is expected that the cost of adhesive short fibers will remain stable next week. In the short term, the adhesive short fiber market is expected to operate stably, with little fluctuation in industry supply and low inventory levels on site, and there is currently no significant inventory pressure. Some downstream yarn factories mainly fulfill early orders and replenish urgently needed goods, while others plan to resume work later, making it difficult for the demand for adhesive short fibers to increase significantly in the market, and the demand side performance is average. Business analysts predict that the domestic adhesive short fiber market will remain stable with small fluctuations next week, with prices expected to be around 13600-13800 yuan/ton for acceptance.
