Factors affecting the price of non-woven fabrics
1. Price of crude oil in the raw material/oil market
As non-woven fabrics are chemical products, the raw material is polypropylene, and polypropylene is also made of propylene, a crude oil refinery, so the change in the price of propylene will directly affect the price of non-woven fabrics.
2. Equipment and technical input of the manufacturer
The quality of the imported equipment is different from that of the domestic equipment, or the same raw materials are different due to different production technologies, resulting in different tensile strength, surface treatment technology, uniformity and feel of the non-woven fabric, which will also affect the price of the non-woven fabric.
3. Quantity
The more the quantity, the lower the purchase cost and production cost.
4. Factory inventory capacity
Some large factories will stock a large amount of raw materials or import the whole cabinet when the material price is low, saving a lot of production costs.
5. Impact of production area
There are many manufacturers of non-woven fabrics in North China, Central China, East China and South China, so the cost in these areas is low. On the contrary, in other areas, the price is relatively high due to the impact of freight, maintenance, storage and other factors.
6. Impact of international policy or exchange rate
Political influences, such as national policies and tariff issues, will also affect price fluctuations. Exchange rate change is also one of the factors.
7. Other factors
Such as environmental protection, special specifications, local government support and subsidies.
Of course, there are other cost factors that vary from factory to factory, such as staff costs, department research and development costs, factory production capacity, sales capacity, team service capacity, etc
