According to industry media reports, the price of disperse dyes surged on February 27, with all categories increasing by 5000 yuan/ton. The price of disperse black ECT 300% has reached 35000 yuan.
Industry insiders indicate that the current dye Price is relatively low. With the continuous increase in the Price of various chemical raw materials, the increase in orders from dyeing enterprises, and a positive future trend, dye Prices may start to rise. In addition, research by industry leaders Longsheng, RunTu, and JiHua shows that the current inventory level of disperse dyes is the lowest in the past three years.
Furthermore, stricter environmental protection and safety regulations have raised the entry barriers for dye manufacturers, eliminating the cost advantages of small dye manufacturers in environmental protection and safety, and restricting the overall supply of reactive dyes.
Dyes are substances that can dye fibers, fabrics, or other materials with vibrant and fast colors. According to the properties and application methods of dyes, they can be divided into subcategories such as disperse dyes, reactive dyes, sulfur dyes, reduction dyes, acid dyes, and direct dyes.
The current dye production pattern generally presents an oligopoly situation, with production capacity concentrated in a few companies. In 2019, China's disperse dye production capacity concentration CR5 was nearly 80%, while reactive dyes were relatively dispersed, with more small and medium-sized enterprises, and CR5 was 66%.

After the industry's supply-side reform and environmental inspections in 2017/18, the dye industry has formed a high concentration and a profit structure that is heavily weighted towards the upstream. With leading manufacturers controlling pricing power for dyes and dye intermediates, events such as environmental protection, maintenance, and business conditions can lead to high elasticity.
In 2019, the dye center was supported by the upward movement of upstream intermediate costs to a historical high. In 2019, global dye production was 790,000 tons, with disperse dyes, reactive dyes, and other dyes accounting for 338,000 tons, 221,000 tons, and 231,000 tons respectively, representing 43%, 28%, and 29%.
In 2020, the bottoming out of demand in the downstream textile and apparel industry dragged down the Price of dyes and dye intermediates.
Institutions believe that the turning point in the downstream textile and apparel industry + macroeconomic recovery will drive demand growth, and the support of dye intermediates remains, the industry chain will drive a new round of business conditions from the bottom up, and there is significant room for dye Price increases.
By promoting the deep integration of new generation information technology with manufacturing, developing new formats of intelligent manufacturing services and intelligent equipment, building an intelligent manufacturing ecosystem, establishing and improving a talent support system, and other measures, we will move towards intelligent, green, service-oriented, high-end, and Brand development. This will promote the high-end development of the industrial structure and the intelligent development of equipment technology. We will comprehensively promote industrial technological transformation and upgrading, and promote the development of high-end equipment manufacturing.
As government policies to expand domestic demand and promote consumption, as mentioned in the government work report, continue to take effect, China's consumer market is expected to show stable growth. How can we further tap into new consumption potential? By effectively utilizing "Internet+", promoting deeper integration between online and offline channels, and developing new formats and models to provide consumers with more convenient and comfortable services and products.
