The mask industry is booming this year, and the main raw material of masks is meltblown cloth. It is reported that four months before the epidemic was serious, the price of meltblown cloth was 700 thousand per ton. Four months later, the global COVID-19 was effectively controlled, and the price of meltblown fabrics dropped to 35,000 per ton. Compared with four months ago, the price of meltblown fabrics in July decreased by 95%.

After the outbreak of the epidemic in COVID-19 at the beginning of this year, the supply of masks was in short supply, and the prices of mask equipment and workers also rose sharply, so the raw materials of masks became items to be purchased. To give a simple example, before the outbreak, the mask equipment was 654.38+0.5 million yuan. After the outbreak, the price of the same equipment increased by 10 times. At the beginning of this year, mask enterprises actively resumed work, but the supply of masks still could not meet the needs of the people. China enterprises join the ranks of mask production.

With more and more enterprises joining in mask production, the production efficiency of masks has been greatly improved. Efficiency has improved, but the raw material of the mask-meltblown cloth has become the object of looting. Mask manufacturers have also entered the stage of raw material shortage, so the price of meltblown cloth has been greatly improved, rising to 700 thousand at once.

The improvement of the domestic epidemic situation has led to a sharp decline in the output of the mask industry. Masks on the market can meet people's daily needs, so the price of masks has dropped significantly. The decline in the price of masks has led to a decline in raw materials. At the same time, raw material suppliers and manufacturers of masks have to reduce the price of masks for the price war. Many small and medium-sized mask enterprises went bankrupt because of high cost, and invested a lot of money to produce masks in the early stage, and the price of masks eased in the later stage. This is the status quo of the mask market.

Meltblown cloth is one of the raw materials for masks. If the supply of meltblown fabrics is in short supply, the price of meltblown fabrics will rise rapidly. In July this year, the supply of masks in various regions was less than the demand, which led to a significant decline in the price of masks, and the decline of meltblown fabrics was even more obvious, reaching 95%, and the price remained at around 35,000 yuan.
