Viscose Spunlace Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023

Viscose Spunlace is a blended fabric made out of polyester and viscose. So, the prices vary according to the fluctuations in the prices of both these feedstock materials. The market began on a lower note at the beginning of the third quarter in July’23. The sullen demand patterns were primarily attributed to the lackluster demands from the importing countries. However, as the fourth quarter approached, the market dynamics started to change steadily.

The suppliers became cautious with procurement, and the production was also observed to have slowed down. So, the gap between the supply and demand outlooks started to dial down slowly and thus was able to provide a marginal forward push to the price trend. This continued till the middle of the fourth quarter, and then a further slip in the demand graph again pivoted the price graph in the reverse direction.

Viscose Spunlace Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Viscose spunlace is a viscose and polyester blend fibre. The price trend for Viscose Spunlace mostly rode high, especially in Asian markets like India, as the end consumer demands remained high. Further, the feedstock availability was curtailed for most of the said period, which provided a positive cost support by raising the upstream costs substantially.

On the other hand, in the Chinese market, the main demands for Viscose Spunlace come from personal care and wiping cloth industries. Even though the demands picked up rightfully in the COVID times when people have grown more cautious of cleanliness, the prices didn’t grow with the same force.

Primarily because suppliers not only ramped up production from existing Viscose Spunlace production plants, but many new production plants were set up with expectations of a rise in demand. This increased competition for prices and gave more options to traders. Overall, even with a fair presence of trade around Viscose Spunlace, prices had a stable run in the Chinese market in H1 2023.
