Basic Definition and Classification of Dyestuff Industry
Dyes are colored organic compounds that can dye fibers or other substrates to a certain color. Generally speaking, dyes used in textile dyeing are synthetic dyes produced industrially (distinguished from natural dyes). The dyes mentioned here are mainly used for dyeing and printing of yarns and fabrics, leather dyeing, paper dyeing, food addition and plastics. Filling field. According to the properties and application methods, dyes can be divided into disperse dyes, reactive dyes, sulfur dyes, VAT dyes, acid dyes, direct dyes and other categories.
The process of transformation and upgrading of printing and dyeing industry is further accelerated
Printing and dyeing enterprises above the scale of January-October 2018 produced 464.76 meters of cloth, an increase of 6.36% over the same period in 2017, and an increase of 4.83 points over 2017. Facing such problems as weak global economic recovery, insufficient market demand power, constraints on resources and environment factors and increasing pressure on environmental protection, the process of transformation and upgrading of printing and dyeing industry has been further accelerated.
Analysis and Forecast of Dye Yield in China in 2018
According to the statistics published by Prospective Industry Research Institute, China's dyestuff output in 2013 was 895,000 tons. By 2014, China's dye output had exceeded 900,000 tons. At the beginning, the dyestuff industry has made steady progress. In 2016 and 2017, dye output was 928,000 tons and 990,000 tons respectively. China's dye output is expected to exceed 1 million tons in 2018, reaching 1.01 million tons.
Among them, in 2018, the production of disperse dyes will reach 503,400 tons, and the production of reactive dyes should reach 27 tons..87 million tons. However, according to dye market analysis, China's current production capacity of disperse dyes is only about 500,000 tons, and that of reactive dyes is only about 450,000 tons. According to the previous start-up rate, the superposition of environmental protection supervision in 2018 is far ahead of the previous years, and the supply and demand of dyes are in a tight balance.
Prospect analysis of dyestuff industry
1. Promoting the transformation and upgrading of the industry and optimizing the industrial layout.
Although China has become the largest dye producer in the world, compared with developed countries, there is still much room for technological innovation in the industry. Some key enterprises with prominent main industries, high level of product research and development and core competitiveness play an obvious leading role in driving, directional and strategic aspects. The dyestuff enterprises take the market as the orientation, constantly promote the adjustment of product structure, adaptability and difference, and implement brand strategy.
The research and development direction of new dyestuff products focuses on the color requirements of textile fiber development, while focusing on the quality improvement of old products, energy saving and consumption reduction, to meet the development requirements of new dyeing and finishing processes. Dyestuff enterprises cater to the new needs of market development, meet the requirements of new technology, new fibers and energy saving and emission reduction in textile printing and dyeing industry, and bridge the gap between the research and development ability of new dyestuff varieties and the advanced level of foreign countries.
2. Strengthen technological innovation and independent innovation to enhance the international competitiveness and sustainable development of the industry
China's dyestuff industry has the ability to innovate. Innovation is the cornerstone of the future development of enterprises, and also the source of expanding market share and maximizing profits. In the future, the dyestuff industry will be a capital-intensive, technology-intensive, talent-intensive, high-input and high-return innovative industry. It will become a new normal for dyestuff enterprises to upgrade from Made in China to Created in China.
3. Integration and automation of production mode, modernization and upgrading of production equipment
At present, although domestic dyestuff production has been improved by technological transformation and process technology, most of them still operate in extensive, open, intermittent and labor-intensive ways. They have poor emergency handling ability for environmental protection and safety, inaccurate response control, resulting in unstable product quality and difficult to meet the requirements of yield. First, they cause waste of raw materials, and second, they react. There are many products and isomers. Thirdly, they bring pressure to the follow-up waste disposal, and at the same time increase the production cost, so that the competitiveness in the international market is not high.
4. Stricter supervision of environmental protection, accelerating the trend of survival of the fittest in Dyestuff Industry
For a long time, China's environmental protection industry has existed-ldquo; heavy investment, light supervision-rdquo; governance ideas. While the investment in environmental protection increased substantially, inadequate supervision and law enforcement led to poor actual operation of environmental protection equipment and facilities, and a large number of enterprises that did not have the corresponding strength entered the dyestuff industry. With the acceleration of the establishment of a long-term mechanism for environmental protection supervision, the state has continuously increased its investment in environmental protection supervision. Especially after the implementation of the new Environmental Protection Law, some small and medium-sized enterprises whose emissions are not up to the standard are basically in a state of rectification, semi-shutdown and shutdown, which has played a positive role in purifying the dye market environment. Enterprises and production capacity that do not meet the environmental requirements are gradually eliminated from the market.
The average price of dyestuff market in 2018 will be slightly higher than that in 2017, but the overall upward space is small, the increase is estimated to be around 5%, and the fluctuation range of dyestuff price in the year is also difficult to see a big increase. In the aspect of disperse dyes, due to the change of marketing strategy of large factories, it is expected that there will be a more obvious increase, which is estimated to be about 20%, and the rising range of low-end price is higher than that of high-end price.
Review of dyestuff industry in 2018 & mdash; & mdash; price
After the sharp fall in mid-2015, the dyestuff market has remained in a low state for a long time. After the wide shock adjustment in 2016-201, the negative impact of the sharp fall on the market has been gradually repaired. After entering 2018, the rising market prices are verifying the recovery of the dyestuff industry.
In 2018, the price of domestic dyestuff market as a whole showed a state of high opening, high going and slow falling at the end of the year, which can be divided into four stages.
Stage one
December 2017 - February 2018. This stage is in the traditional off-season of dyestuffs from 2017 to 2018, during which the major dyestuff factories raised their prices dramatically out of season, resulting in the failure of traders and printing and dyeing factories to replenish their low-cost stock in time. After the end of the Lunar New Year, the printing and dyeing industry entered the peak period of production, and the cost of circulation goods in the market was too high, so the purchase of dyeing plants was forced to catch up. During this period, the market of disperse dyes rose first, followed by a slow rise in reactive dyes.
The second stage
March-mid-April. After dyestuff prices reached a high level, market expectations weakened. At the same time, when the peak period of downstream customers'stock-up ended, the reduction of market buying led to further upstream price hindrance. At this stage, the mainstream market prices began to stabilize and consolidate, with a small overall amplitude.
The third stage
Mid-April-August. Starting from the China International Dyestuff Exhibition in mid-April, the market is expected to be weak before and after the current dyestuff exhibition, and the fluctuation of market prices has been significantly reduced. At the end of April, affected by the pollution problem in northern Jiangsu, chemical parks in northern Jiangsu began to concentrate on parking and rectification. As parking enterprises involved many large dye manufacturers, the start-up of dyestuff industry (mainly disperse dyestuff) showed a significant decline. The expected tightening of supply became the main theme of the market at this time. Factories and traders raised their offers one after another, and market prices began to rise again. There was a significant upward trend.
The fourth stage
Late September-December. After September, the previous shutdown plant has not yet been completed.Restart, but at this time, the overall trend of printing and dyeing industry in 2018 is gradually clear, the decline in demand is larger, which has an impact on dye market demand. Previous supply and demand tightening expectations caused by factory shutdown are gradually falsified, and market participants begin to turn their eyes to downstream demand. At this time, the high price of dyes began to be difficult to maintain, the market of reactive dyes took the lead in falling, and then the price of disperse dyes began to decline gradually.At the end of the year, the market turned into a downward trend again.
