Dye market transaction price in July
In the first half of the year, the shipments of major dye manufacturers, especially large disperse dye manufacturers, were basically the same as last year. As we all know, in general, the orders of printing and dyeing enterprises have decreased significantly year-on-year, and the demand for dyes has also decreased simultaneously. Why did the sales volume of the major disperse dye manufacturers not decrease significantly? There are two main reasons. First, printing and dyeing enterprises and traders stock up at the beginning of the year; In June, the major listed dye companies are working hard to promote their shipments. One is to increase their semi-annual report performance by increasing their dye shipments, and the other is to lower the prices of dye raw materials.
In July, affected by many factors such as international politics, economy, war, demand, etc., the orders of printing and dyeing enterprises were further reduced. After a wave of small market shipments in June, the demand for dyes further shrunk. Entering July, affected by the further weakening of demand, the sales prices of major dyestuff companies were further reduced, and the sales volume was significantly lower than that in June. In the second half of the year, the demand for dyes will shrink further, and the price war of dyes will be extremely tragic. In the context of shrinking demand, the supply of disperse dyes is increasing substantially, which will make disperse dye enterprises even worse. Some printing and dyeing enterprises have reported that in recent years, my country's printing and dyeing enterprises have overcapacity by about 30%, and the current orders of printing and dyeing enterprises have decreased by 20-30%. According to this, the current average operating rate of printing and dyeing enterprises is 40-50% is normal. The low operating rate of printing and dyeing enterprises will lead to continuous losses of enterprises, which will increase the risk of bad debts of dye receivables.
Looking forward to August, the reactive dyes market is in the off-season, but this year is even weaker; the disperse dyes market is in the peak season, but this year's peak season did not flourish and ended ahead of schedule. At the same time, the dye intermediate market is also very weak compared to previous years. Most of the dye intermediate enterprises in China and India are in a state of semi-shutdown. Due to weakened demand and the price reduction of bulk chemical commodities, the price of dye intermediates is also in a downward trend.
