In March 2025, the market trend of the main raw material for viscose staple fiber dissolution pulp was weak, and the demand in the terminal market was sluggish. Downstream yarn factories mainly purchased according to demand, and the actual negotiation focus fluctuated and declined. The viscose staple fiber market operated weakly, and prices were slightly lowered.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of March 31st, the average market price of viscose staple fiber was 13600 yuan/ton, a decrease of 120 yuan/ton from the previous month, with a monthly decline of 0.87%.
The trend of the main raw material dissolution slurry market is downward
In March 2025, the upstream main raw material dissolution pulp market experienced a weak decline. As of March 31, the price of domestically produced dissolution pulp was around 7600 yuan/ton, the price of outer broad-leaved pulp was around 930 US dollars/ton, and the price of coniferous pulp was around 1030 US dollars/ton. The auxiliary liquid alkali market and sulfuric acid market continue to maintain stable prices. Overall, the upstream main raw material dissolution slurry market is trending downward, while the auxiliary liquid alkali market and sulfuric acid market continue to maintain stable prices. The price center of the raw material market has fallen, and the cost support of adhesive short fibers is weak.
Good supply and demand are hard to find
In March 2025, some adhesive short fiber parking and maintenance facilities in Jiangsu have not yet restarted, while some adhesive short fiber facilities in Shandong and Xinjiang have increased their operating loads, resulting in a gradual increase in on-site supply; Downstream yarn manufacturers are experiencing poor shipments, resulting in low enthusiasm for picking up adhesive short fibers. The overall inventory level of the adhesive short fiber market has increased narrowly, and the positive support from the supply side is limited.
The downstream cotton yarn market equipment has basically resumed normal operation, with little price change. As of March 31st, the price of 30S cotton yarn spun by ring spinning in Jiangsu region was around 17550 yuan/ton, a decrease of 75 yuan/ton from the beginning of the month. However, due to insufficient orders in the end market, the shipment situation of yarn factories is not ideal, and there is still a certain amount of raw material inventory and finished product inventory, resulting in a weak willingness to purchase adhesive short fibers, and it is difficult to find favorable support from the demand side.
Future forecast
From a cost perspective, the main material dissolution slurry market is dominated by consolidation; From the perspective of supply and demand, there are plans to increase the operating rate of some adhesive short fiber facilities in Jiangsu Province. The on-site supply may increase slightly, and the industry inventory may remain at a normal level. The downstream market or consumption of raw material inventory is the main focus, and there has been no significant improvement on the demand side. Overall, the market lacks good news to boost it. Business analysts predict that the domestic adhesive short fiber market will be mainly weak in the short term, with prices expected to be accepted at 13400-13600 yuan/ton.
