Since the National Day holiday, the viscose fiber market has remained relatively stable, with manufacturers reporting good sales performance. Some viscose staple fiber producers are currently considering further price increases, with expected rises ranging from 100 to 200 yuan per ton. Meanwhile, the viscose filament segment is in a consolidation phase.
In early October, the overall viscose fiber market showed mixed trends. The price of mainstream viscose staple fiber products remained stable, with the viscose staple fiber index holding steady at 901.0 points from late September to early October. The average domestic price for viscose staple fibers ranged between 13,200 and 13,300 yuan per ton, with the lowest market price reaching 13,000 yuan. In contrast, viscose filament yarn prices showed a slight downward trend. The viscose filament index dropped from 638.5 points in late September to 636.5 points in early October. Prices for 133.3dtex/30f filaments fell from 28,300 yuan to 27,000–28,000 yuan, while 166.7dtex/30f remained at 27,900 yuan, and 83.3dtex/18f was priced between 48,000 and 49,000 yuan. Light filaments such as 333.3dtex/60f were trading between 22,000 and 22,500 yuan, and 133.3dtex/30f was at 27,000 yuan.
The divergence in viscose fiber prices during early October was largely attributed to a quiet cotton yarn market, which provided support for viscose staple fiber prices. Additionally, the stable operation of the people’s cotton fabric market contributed to weaker pricing for viscose filament yarns.
Looking ahead, several factors are expected to influence viscose fiber prices. The global cotton market has shown strength, with the US Cotton A Index rising from 55.05 cents/lb in late September to 57.45 cents/lb in early October. Domestic cotton 329 prices also increased from 13,800 to 14,100 yuan per ton. Currently, the market price of viscose staple fiber is about 800 yuan lower than the spot price of cotton 329, which supports its pricing. The pulp market remains calm, with both cotton and wood pulp prices showing a stable trend. During the long holiday period, shipments of viscose staple fiber were smooth, and market prices remained stable. Dachang is expected to raise prices by around 200 yuan. Meanwhile, the viscose filament market remained stable during the National Day holiday, with Zhongdu maintaining consistent volume and stable pricing. Downstream cotton yarn prices continued to run smoothly, with 40S cotton yarn center prices remaining at 18,400 yuan and 30S at 17,300 yuan, supporting the stability of viscose staple fiber prices. From a fabric price perspective, viscose filament fabrics saw a calm trend, with China Jet Jet silk satin (plain) at 4.70 yuan/m and jet satin (satin) at 4.30 yuan/m, indicating broad price support for viscose filaments.
Overall, it is expected that the price of viscose staple fiber will remain relatively stable in the near term. While production companies may push for higher prices, the upward adjustment in market prices is likely to be limited. The viscose filament market remains stable but weak, with signs of price weakness due to increased inventory at some major producers, forcing them to lower transaction prices to free up working capital. This suggests that manufacturer confidence in the market outlook is still limited. As a result, viscose filament prices are expected to remain in a small consolidation phase.
It's worth noting that cotton prices across different regions have risen to varying degrees. This increase in cotton prices could potentially drive up the prices of viscose staple fiber products in the coming weeks.
