Analysis review

Last week (July 7-13, 2025), the market for the main raw material of viscose staple fiber, dissolved pulp, remained stable, with average cost support. Various viscose staple fiber manufacturers still had a certain amount of finished product inventory, and the supply side performed well. Downstream yarn factories mainly executed a new round of orders, and the overall speed of goods flow in the market was stable. The market price of viscose staple fiber remained stable, and attention should be paid to the follow-up of new orders from downstream yarn factories in the future.

In terms of cost: Last week (July 7-13, 2025), there was little change in the market price of raw material dissolution slurry, with a weak stalemate. The market prices of auxiliary materials such as liquid alkali and sulfuric acid remained stable with small fluctuations, and the cost support was average.

Supply demand: The operating rate of viscose staple fiber manufacturers' equipment remained stable within the week, and the industry supply remained stable; Each viscose staple fiber manufacturer still had a certain inventory of finished products, and the supply side was performing well. The downstream cotton yarn market had a strong wait-and-see atmosphere, with prices being mainly deadlocked. Insufficient orders had been placed in the terminal market, and downstream yarn companies still had a certain amount of raw material inventory. Coupled with high finished product inventory, a small number of orders were mainly signed on demand, resulting in average shipment speed and weak demand without improvement.

Market outlook

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

Supply and demand side: The operating rate of the viscose staple fiber market equipment may not fluctuate significantly, and some manufacturers have high inventory levels. Therefore, it is expected that the supply side support of the viscose staple fiber market will be poor in the short term; Downstream yarn factories mainly consume raw material inventory and have a weak willingness to replenish raw materials. They may maintain rigid procurement, making it difficult for the demand side to improve. Therefore, it is expected that the demand side of the viscose staple fiber market will perform poorly next week.

Overall, the main raw material dissolution slurry market may experience weak consolidation, and downstream yarn market procurement enthusiasm is difficult to improve. The expected trading atmosphere in the market is flat. SunSirs’ analysts predict that the domestic viscose staple fiber market will remain stable with small fluctuations next week, and prices are expected to be accepted at 12,800-13,100 RMB/ton.
