March is the traditional peak season in the textile market, but this year this beautiful situation seems to have really become a "legend". Now that March has passed halfway, the price of nylon market products has fallen day by day, which has turned the "expectations" of the March legend into "disappointment." Nylon raw material caprolactam has been on a downward trend since March. The domestic quotation fell from 23,500 yuan to 22,600 yuan, a drop of 3.83%. Under the dual pressure of upstream raw materials and downstream purchases, nylon slices also began to go "downhill." Conventional spinning chips have fallen to 24,300 yuan/ton, and high-speed spinning has also fallen to 24,700 yuan/ton.

What factors make the nylon market "not busy"? The author analyzes the following in combination with related factors:

1. Inventory increases, caprolactam continues to fall caprolactam continues to fall

Judging from the trend of the upstream raw material market, the caprolactam market has been in a weak downtrend recently. At the beginning of the month, due to the support of crude oil, the trend of caprolactam tends to be stable, and the center of market quotation has been maintained at the level of 23,300 yuan/ton. But the good times didn't last long. With the overall weakening of the market, sales could not be boosted, and the inventory pressure of manufacturers began to increase gradually. The caprolactam market could not hold, and gradually began to decline. Most manufacturers have seen price adjustment operations. Although the price adjustment has brought a certain amount of production and sales, the low price is a foregone conclusion. Caprolactam manufacturers can only continue to implement low-price concessions and small orders.

2. Sales are deserted and nylon slices are too heavy

Affected by the upstream raw material caprolactam, the nylon chip market has also had a chain reaction and entered a downward channel. As the overall textile market is weak this year, and the orders of downstream weaving companies are mostly small orders, so the purchasing enthusiasm is not high, and most of them adopt the operation method of on-demand procurement, which makes the market sales of nylon chips "unable to do anything." In order to drive sales, nylon chip manufacturers have to lower their prices to attract buyers' attention. However, considering the inventory and production issues, buyers are more cautious in placing orders and operate on demand. Affected by this, nylon chip manufacturers can only adjust their quotations repeatedly, hoping to boost the market purchasing atmosphere, but it seems "it is difficult to change against the trend, and the trading volume of nylon chip market has been at a low level.

3. The fabric sales are average, and the market atmosphere is sluggish

Finally, we look at the trend of the downstream fabric market. Recently, the sales of fabric products using nylon yarn as raw materials are relatively flat. For example, the market sales of 190T and 210T nylon yarn spun fabrics interwoven with nylon yarn are general, and the market price is also slightly lower. Decline; In addition, although Taslon's conventional 184T and 228T fabric market currently has a certain sales volume, it is mainly used for casual fashion demand, but it is still dominated by small orders. Although the current weaving manufacturers have made certain adjustments in the product structure, extending from plain weave to jacquard, and products have also been expanded through deep processing such as coating, sanding, and composite; but overall, the transaction volume of the entire nylon yarn interwoven fabric is not Therefore, downstream weaving companies still carefully control the purchase of nylon yarn. The overall market is still not optimistic for the company, and the downturn in the entire market still exists.

Four, outlook

From the current point of view, "insufficient procurement", "average trading" and "downturn in sales" can be said to be a common topic. The so-called "peak season" has not "boomed", but it has filled the entire nylon market with an awkward atmosphere of "fallen cold". Recently, the raw materials of caprolactam and nylon chips have fallen, and under the influence of various patterns such as low demand and unobvious trading, nylon manufacturers are facing more pressure on inventory, and preferential policies are also increasing. Therefore, the author expects that the price of nylon in the market will not be strong. , The signs of decline are obvious.
