Viscose staple fiber price trend chart

According to the commodity market analysis system of SunSirs, as of June 22, the average market price of viscose staple fiber was 13,080 RMB/ton, a decrease of 80 RMB/ton from the same period last week, and a weekly decline of 0.61%.

Cost: Last week (June 16-22, 2025), the market price of raw material dissolving pulp did not change much, and it was weak and stagnant. The market prices of auxiliary materials such as liquid alkali and sulfuric acid were stable and slightly changed, and the cost side was generally supported.

Supply and demand: The operating rate of viscose staple fiber manufacturers was stable during the week, and the supply volume of the industry was stable. The downstream rayon yarn market is in a wait-and-see mood, with prices mainly stagnant. The terminal market orders are insufficient, and downstream yarn companies still have a certain amount of raw material inventory. In addition, the finished product inventory is high, and orders are mainly signed in small quantities on demand. The speed of goods is average, and demand continues to be weak without improvement.

Market forecast

Raw material side: The main material dissolving pulp market may run weakly and steadily, and the auxiliary material liquid alkali and sulfuric acid markets may remain stable. Therefore, it is expected that the price trend of the viscose staple fiber raw material market will be weak next week, and the cost side will be generally supported.

Supply and demand side: The operating rate of the viscose staple fiber market may not fluctuate much, and the inventory level of some manufacturers is high. Therefore, it is expected that the supply side of the viscose staple fiber market will not be well supported in the short term; downstream yarn mills mainly consume raw material inventory, and have little willingness to replenish raw materials. They may maintain rigid demand purchases, and it is difficult to improve the demand side. Therefore, it is expected that the demand side of the viscose staple fiber market will perform poorly next week.

On the whole, the main raw material dissolving pulp market may consolidate in a weak position, the purchasing enthusiasm of the downstream yarn market is difficult to increase, and the trading atmosphere in the market is expected to be flat. Analysts from SunSirs predict that the domestic viscose staple fiber market will be largely stable with small fluctuations next week, and the price is expected to be 12,800-13,100 RMB/ton acceptance.
