This week (April 21-27, 2025), the upstream raw material market price trend is not good, downstream market demand is difficult to improve, on-site trading activity is not good, industry inventory levels are high, on-site high priced sources of goods are reduced, and the adhesive short fiber market price is under pressure and slightly declining.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of April 27, 2025, the average market price of viscose staple fiber was 13460 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan/ton compared to the same period last week, with a weekly decline of 0.15%.
In terms of cost: This week (April 21-27, 2025), the market price of raw material dissolution slurry remained generally stable, while the auxiliary material liquid alkali market and sulfuric acid market continued to decline. The price center of the raw material market shifted slightly downwards, and the average production cost of adhesive short fibers continued to decrease.
Supply and demand: During the week, the operating load of some adhesive short fiber facilities in Shandong and Xinjiang regions has been reduced, and the overall supply of the industry continues to decline. The operating rate of downstream cotton yarn industry is gradually declining, and prices are deadlocked. The demand in the terminal market is light, and the inventory of finished products in the downstream yarn market continues to accumulate. Manufacturers mainly consume raw material inventory, and multidimensional demand for goods is difficult to find favorable support from the demand side. The delivery speed of downstream enterprises is poor, and the overall inventory of the adhesive short fiber market is still on the rise.
Future forecast
On the raw material side, the main material dissolution slurry market may have limited fluctuations, while the auxiliary material liquid alkali and sulfuric acid markets may have a downward trend. Therefore, it is expected that the market price trend of adhesive short fiber raw materials will be weak next week, and the cost performance will be poor.
Supply and demand side: Most of the devices in the adhesive short fiber market are expected to maintain stable operation, and some manufacturers have high inventory levels. Therefore, it is expected that the supply side of the adhesive short fiber market will have limited positive support in the short term; The demand in the terminal market is poor, and downstream enterprises have a certain degree of risk aversion. Their enthusiasm for raw material procurement has faded, and some manufacturers have plans to reduce production. Therefore, it is expected that the demand side support for the adhesive short fiber market will weaken next week.
Overall, the main raw material dissolution slurry market is expected to operate weakly and steadily, with limited demand from downstream manufacturers. There is a lack of positive news to boost the market, and some adhesive short fiber manufacturers may sell at a lower price. Business analysts predict that the domestic adhesive short fiber market may continue to decline slightly next week, with prices expected to be accepted at 13200-13400 yuan/ton.
