Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) Prices: During the Quarter Ending December 2023

North America:

During the final quarter of 2023, the Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) market in North America witnessed a consistent downward trajectory. In the United States, the market experienced marginal fluctuations with a confirmed downward trend, largely due to stable supply dynamics. Economic activity remained subdued in November, contributing to the overall decline. However, smooth supply chain operations mitigated cost pressures on VFY prices. Despite previous price increases, the market's equilibrium between demand and supply supported the downward trend. Manufacturers responded by proactively reducing prices to manage inventory levels and stimulate demand, effectively impacting the market dynamics.

APAC:

In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the VFY market faced production capacity constraints and a slowdown in downstream industries during the first half of the fourth quarter of 2023. Despite a mild improvement in the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), VFY prices dropped in the second half due to persistent demand weaknesses in the manufacturing sector. Raw material dynamics and surplus inventory challenges led manufacturers to aggressively reduce prices to stimulate new orders. While the China General Manufacturing PMI showed a slight uptick in December 2023, indicating a potential improvement in the manufacturing sector, manufacturers continued to grapple with excess supply and bloated inventories, driving further price declines.

Europe:

In the European VFY market during the fourth quarter of 2023, prices experienced a marginal increase in the first half, driven by increased demand from the downstream textile industry and improved purchasing sentiments. However, the VFY market in Germany saw a decline in the second half due to weak demand in the manufacturing sector. Raw material dynamics played a significant role in shaping pricing trends. Despite the manufacturing sector's challenges, there were indications of stabilization, with the revised Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for Germany showing slight improvement in December 2023. Manufacturers responded to competitive pressures by lowering factory gate charges to remain competitive in the market.
