my country’s polyester industrial yarn production has gradually increased while exports have declined.
Polyester industrial yarn belongs to a subcategory of synthetic fibers and refers to polyester filaments used in industrial fields. It has the advantages of heat resistance, wear resistance, fatigue resistance, high strength, and low shrinkage. Due to the low production cost of polyester industrial yarn but excellent comprehensive performance, it has been called the four major rubber skeleton materials along with viscose strength yarn, nylon, and steel wire. After years of development, my country’s polyester industrial yarns are very rich in types. According to different properties, they can be roughly divided into high-strength and low-stretch polyester industrial yarns, high-modulus and low-shrinkage polyester industrial yarns, high-strength and low-shrinkage polyester industrial yarns, and reactive polyester industrial yarns. wait.
At this stage, my country’s polyester industrial yarn industry chain has basically matured. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing MEG, PTA and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the production industry of polyester industrial yarn, responsible for the production and manufacturing of different types of polyester industrial yarn; the downstream is mainly oriented to the application field, mostly used in the production of geotechnical materials, vehicles Use silk, tire cord fabric, conveyor belt, advertising light box fabric, textiles, etc. Among them, polyester industrial yarn is mainly used in the field of automotive yarn, with a market share of 37.2%; followed by tire cord fabric, with a market share of 22.4%; ranking third is air bag yarn, with a market share of 18.1%.
According to the “2023-2027 Polyester Industrial Yarn Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, the recent Over the past few years, my country’s economic level has gradually improved, residents’ consumption power has gradually increased, and the automobile market has developed rapidly. As an upstream industry for automobiles, the market of polyester industrial yarn has also been affected to a certain extent. In addition, polyester industrial yarn is used to make various fabrics, footwear, clothing, etc. due to its advantages such as wear resistance, resistance to fading, strong resilience, and excellent anti-wrinkle properties. It is widely used in the textile market and the market demand continues improve. Against this background, the production scale of my country’s polyester industrial yarn enterprises has gradually expanded, and output has been greatly improved. In 2022, my country’s polyester industrial yarn output will be approximately 1.975 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.9%.
At present, my country has become the main country in the production of polyester industrial yarn, and the export scale is much larger than the import scale. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, my country’s polyester industrial yarn exports have declined. According to data released by the General Administration of Customs, in 2022, my country’s polyester industrial yarn export volume will be 522,800 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 7.1%. From the perspective of exporting countries, the United States has become the country with the largest export volume of polyester industrial yarn, accounting for 12.3%; followed by South Korea, accounting for 7.9% of export volume; ranking third is Turkey, accounting for 7.2% of export volume.
Industry analysts said that at present, the largest polyester industrial yarn companies mainly include Hengli Chemical Fiber, Baihong Chemical, three-dimensional materials, Yadong Industry, Hailide New Materials, Youfu Co., Ltd., Ancient Towpath, etc. Among them, ancient towpath has the largest market share, accounting for 21.3%; followed by Hengli Chemical Fiber, with a market share of 13.2%; and third-ranked Yufu Co., Ltd., with a market share of 10.4%.
