Raw material market update for filtration materials

As the global filtration industry continues to grow and demand for high-performance filtration products rises, the raw material market for filtration materials is changing. We have figured out the main raw materials, like glass fibre fabric, chemical fibres and aramid, to help companies in the filtration sector understand market trends and improve their procurement planning.

Glass Fiber Fabric: There is less supply because demand is more varied.

Glass fibre fabric, an important raw material for many filtration products, is currently in short supply. The demand for electronic glass fiber yarn has increased a lot because industrial equipment manufacturing is growing quickly. This has led to a lot of supply resources being used for other things. This has led to a big drop in the amount of glass fibre raw materials available for making filters, and most companies that make glass fibre fabric don't have enough raw materials.

This shortage has affected the production of related filtration products, and there may also be delays in deliveries. For manufacturers who use glass fibre fabric for filtration products, it is very important to track how much is available and adjust production as needed.

Chemical Fibres: Oil prices have gone up all over the world, which has led to price increases.

The cost of petrochemical-based chemical fibres has risen because the price of oil is going up all the time. This has led to a general increase in the price of most filtration-grade chemical fibres. This latest price change covers a wide range of types of fibres, including normal polyester and high-performance fibres such as aramid, PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). These are used in lots of different fields, like high-temperature filtration, treating industrial waste gases and more.

The rise in the price of chemical fibres will make it more expensive to produce high-end filter bags and special filtration equipment. Filtration enterprises will need to keep an eye on their costs and make sure their products are still good quality.

Aramid Market: Prices keep going up and up, and more and more people want to buy them all over the world.

Aramid fibre, an important material that can resist high temperatures and is used in high-end filtration products like high-temperature filter bags, has seen a big increase in market prices recently. Last week, the market price of aramid was around 52,000 RMB per ton, and it is expected to rise to about 57,000 RMB per ton this week, showing a strong upward trend.

The global demand for aramid fibres is growing continuously, with the Asia-Pacific region being the main driver of this growth. The fast growth of aerospace, national defence and industrial manufacturing in the Asia-Pacific region has led to more demand for aramid fibres, which has pushed up the price of aramid. In the short term, the aramid market will continue to experience a tight supply and demand pattern, which will lead to ongoing price fluctuations.

Here are some tips for companies that filter things.

Because the prices of raw materials are changing a lot and there are big changes in supply and demand, we suggest that companies that use filtration materials, especially manufacturers of high-temperature filter bags, watch the real-time trends of key raw materials. It is a good idea to plan what you will buy in advance, keep an eye on how many products you have in stock, and balance how much it costs to make your products and how stable your supply is. This helps you to deal with changes in the market and reduce risks in your business.
