Antai Textile: Over 30 Years of Deep Cultivation in the Acrylic Fiber Field, Standing Courageously at the Forefront of the Industry's New Wave

(Main Text) In the wave of transformation and upgrading of the textile industry and the continuous iteration of market demand, Antai Textile, located in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, has been deeply rooted in the acrylic fiber field for over 30 years since its founding in 1993. With keen insight into market trends and a persistent pursuit of product quality, it has gradually grown into a leader in domestic acrylic yarn, acrylic top, colored acrylic top, and fancy yarn fields. Facing the new changes and opportunities in the acrylic fiber market in 2025, Antai Textile is taking steady steps, actively adjusting, and taking initiative to stand at the forefront of the new wave of industry development.

Entering the second half of 2025, the acrylic fiber industry has ushered in multiple market signals. According to industry data, the market size of China's acrylic blended yarn industry is expected to continue growing, from approximately 1.5 million tons in 2020 to about 2 million tons in 2023, and is projected to reach 2.5 million tons by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of up to 8.2%. This growth is mainly driven by strong demand in clothing, home textiles, industrial textiles, and other fields. At the same time, the global bright acrylic yarn market is also showing vigorous vitality, with its scale expected to exceed 5 billion US dollars, maintaining a CAGR of around 6.8%. Sports apparel, home textile decoration, and industrial textiles have become major contributors to demand growth. 'These data are not only a barometer of industry development but also a compass for us to adjust product strategies,' said Li Xiong, Marketing Manager of Antai Textile, when analyzing the latest industry report. 'Antai Textile has long perceived the continuous prevalence of sports and leisure style and the trend of personalization and functionalization in home textile decoration. Our acrylic yarn series products, especially the high-elasticity, breathable acrylic blended yarn developed for sports apparel and the bright acrylic yarn suitable for high-end home textile decoration, are highly aligned with this growth trend.' Li Xiong further explained that the company's bright acrylic yarn has gained a good reputation in the market due to its excellent luster, soft hand feel, and stable color fastness, and recent order volumes have increased significantly, which is in line with the growing demand in the global bright acrylic yarn market.

Faced with positive market signals, the supply and price fluctuations of raw materials are also issues that enterprises need to face directly. Recently, Shandong Haijiang's 130,000-ton/year acrylonitrile plant was temporarily shut down for maintenance, Lihuayi's spot acrylonitrile quotation was lowered, domestic acrylonitrile factory inventories increased, and Jilin Petrochemical's expanded 260,000-ton/year acrylonitrile plant is scheduled to start production at the end of July. These developments will undoubtedly have an impact on the acrylic fiber industry chain. In response, Factory Director Huang of Antai Textile's Production Department said: 'Subtle changes in the raw material market test an enterprise's supply chain management capabilities and production scheduling wisdom. We closely monitor every dynamic in the upstream acrylonitrile market, and with the company's years of accumulated supply chain resources and refined management experience, we can flexibly adjust procurement strategies to ensure stable raw material supply and cost control.' Director Huang emphasized that Antai Textile not only has advanced production equipment and large-scale production capacity but also continuously optimizes production processes. 'For example, regarding the dope dyeing technology mentioned in the news, we have long invested a lot of research and development efforts in the production of colored acrylic tops, adopting environmentally friendly and efficient dope dyeing processes. This not only enables precise control and rich variety of colors but also effectively reduces energy consumption and pollution in subsequent dyeing processes, which coincides with the current industry's pursuit of green and sustainable development. Our colored acrylic top products are favored by many downstream customers due to their uniform color spinning, high color fastness, and superior environmental performance, which is exactly our active response to the market's demand for environmentally friendly, efficient, and differentiated products.'

Over 30 years of industry accumulation have endowed Antai Textile with profound technological research and development capabilities and market insight. From the initial production of acrylic yarn and acrylic top to the continuous innovation in colored acrylic top, fancy yarn, and other fields today, Antai Textile has always prioritized customer needs and industry trends. With stable product quality, diversified product structure, and professional technical services, the company has established long-term and stable cooperative relationships with many well-known domestic and foreign clothing brands and home textile enterprises. Li Xiong, Marketing Manager, said proudly: 'We are not just product suppliers but also customers' partners. When the market demand for fancy yarn is growing to meet consumers' pursuit of personalized and fashionable clothing, we quickly responded by increasing investment in the research, development, and production of fancy yarn, launching a series of fancy yarn products that combine artistry and practicality, helping customers stand out in the fierce market competition.'

Looking to the future, with the commissioning of Jilin Petrochemical's new acrylonitrile plant, it is expected to further optimize the raw material supply pattern. Antai Textile will continue to uphold the philosophy of 'Survive by Quality, Develop by Innovation', closely follow industry dynamics, and continuously enhance its core competitiveness. Whether it is the continuous expansion of the acrylic blended yarn market or the wide application of bright acrylic yarn and dope dyeing technology, Antai Textile is well-prepared. With its professional attitude and high-quality products, it will actively integrate into the tide of industry development and contribute to promoting the high-quality development of China's textile industry. On the hot land of textiles in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, Antai Textile is stepping steadily and firmly to write its next glorious chapter.
