Sometimes customers complain that the price of non-woven fabrics is too high, so they specifically search for and analyze the factors that affect the price of non-woven fabrics. There are several main points:
1. The price of crude oil on the raw material/oil market
Since non-woven fabric is a chemical product, its raw material is polypropylene, and polypropylene is also made of propylene, a crude oil refinery, so changes in the price of propylene will directly affect the price of non-woven fabrics. The raw materials are also divided into genuine brand, second brand, imported and domestically produced.
2. Equipment and technology investment of the manufacturer
The quality of imported equipment is different from that of domestic equipment, or the same production materials are different due to different production technologies, resulting in different tensile strength, surface treatment technology, uniformity and feel of non-woven fabrics, which will also affect the price of non-woven fabrics.
3. Quantity
The more the quantity, the lower the purchase cost and production cost.
4. Factory inventory capacity
Some large factories will import large quantities of raw materials from stock or entire cabinets when the material prices are low, saving a lot of production costs.
5. The influence 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 factors such as freight, maintenance fees, and storage fees. .
6. The impact of international policies or exchange rates
Political influences such as national policies and tariff issues will also affect price fluctuations. Exchange rate changes are also one of the factors.
7. Other factors
Such as environmental protection, special specifications, local government support and subsidies, etc.
Of course, there are other cost factors that vary from factory to factory, such as staff costs, departmental R&D costs, factory production capacity, sales capacity, team service capacity, etc.
Price is a sensitive factor. I hope everyone can take a rational look at some tangible or intangible factors.
