Recently, the rising prices of many raw materials in the industrial field have aroused widespread concern. The reporter learned from some futures companies that from the first trading day after New Year's Day, the cumulative increase of polyester staple fiber was over 3%, cotton yarn was over 26%, and copper was over 17%. Many companies said that they were "under great pressure."

The person in charge of an enterprise that develops and produces semiconductor components in Shaoxing said that the copper price has risen from the lowest of 35, yuan per ton last year to more than 7, yuan at present, and at least about 2 million yuan of working capital needs to be invested in the stocking process. Many colleagues have stopped taking orders or even closed their doors.

According to the person in charge of a textile company, since the end of last year, the price of polyester yarn has risen from more than 5,7 yuan per ton to about 7,8 yuan, while that of cotton raw materials has risen from about 26, yuan per ton to more than 32, yuan. The industry believes that this round of price increases has obvious pressure on many enterprises in the whole industry, and it is necessary to make full preparations and actively seek countermeasures.

export enterprises carefully adjust prices

Faced with the trend of rising prices of raw materials, the interviewed enterprises all said that they need to consider adjusting prices when they can't digest the cost pressure themselves.

The relevant person in charge of Guangdong Jingke Electronics Co., Ltd. told the reporter that it is expected that there will be a continuous increase in the second quarter. This has brought great cost pressure to the company. By arranging in advance, actively reaching cooperation with customers, locking long-term orders as much as possible, locking material prices with suppliers, and reducing cost pressure by preparing materials and strategic cooperation, the possibility of price adjustment will not be ruled out later.

Zhou Songyi said that the price of raw materials is rising fast, and the company needs to adjust the price frequently, but this is mainly for the next stage of orders. The price adjustment is a process, and many factors such as market acceptance should be considered, and communication should be repeated.

after receiving the price increase notice from the supplier on February 23, a large-scale printing enterprise in Guangdong began to inform its customers in advance that the price of products would be increased after March 1, suggesting that customers place orders in advance, while maintaining the original price for the original orders. Zhang Ling, an overseas salesperson, revealed: "Some customers have placed orders in advance, but some customers choose to wait and see."
