Dear Partners / Customers,
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the raw material markets lately, you’ve undoubtedly felt the suffocating wave of price surges.
In the past 10 days, global markets have experienced dramatic turbulence. With ongoing geopolitical tensions, international oil prices have skyrocketed. Crude oil, the lifeblood of modern industry, has triggered a domino effect that is rapidly spreading to every link in the supply chain.
And our industry is at the very epicenter of this storm.
Prices Are Rising Across the Board — The Source Is “Out of Control”
Rising Crude Oil Prices ↓
↓
Soaring Costs of Petrochemical-Based Raw Materials (Polypropylene, etc.) ↓
↓
Non-Woven Fabric & Meltblown Fabric Prices Changing “Daily” ↓
↓
Continuous Price Increases for Medical Protective Equipment (Masks, Protective Gowns, Surgical Apparel, etc.)
This is not an ordinary seasonal price adjustment. This is a cost-driven surge originating from the very top of the supply chain.
Today’s Price Is Always Cheaper Than Tomorrow’s
Over the past week, we’ve been receiving price adjustment notices from upstream petrochemical and masterbatch suppliers almost every few hours.
-
Yesterday, As of today, the price is 9,650 yuan per ton (temporary).
-
This morning, new quotations were another 5% higher than yesterday’s closing price.
-
Tomorrow, we may not even be able to provide a firm quote, because our suppliers’ prices are now “valid for the day of issue only.”
What does this mean for you?
It means that if you hesitate on the price you see today — even waiting until tomorrow or later in the afternoon — the cost for the exact same products will already be higher.
Why Won’t Prices Drop Anytime Soon?
Many customers are asking: “Should we wait for prices to come down?”
As industry veterans, we want to be completely honest with you: In the short term, there is no scenario where prices will fall.
-
Geopolitical tensions show no signs of easing: Uncertainty around energy supply persists. With crude oil as a foundational energy source, elevated prices are becoming the new normal.
-
The transmission effect has just begun: The ripple effect from crude oil to non-woven granules to finished goods takes time. Low-cost inventory in the market is being depleted. Goods manufactured in the coming month will all reflect today’s soaring raw material costs.
-
Demand remains inelastic: Medical protection is a necessity. Regardless of price fluctuations, demand from healthcare institutions, pharmacies, and household stockpiles hasn’t decreased.
Our Advice: The Earlier You Stock Up, The More You Save
When entering a sustained price increase cycle, time is money.
Ordering now locks in today’s price.
Waiting means facing tomorrow’s higher prices.
