Antai Textile: Insight into Acrylic Fiber Raw Material Market Dynamics, Building Industry Competitive Advantages through Full-Chain Collaboration

Entering July 2025, the domestic acrylic yarn market is experiencing subtle changes in the raw material supply side. Antai Textile Co., Ltd., located in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, with its keen insight accumulated from over 30 years of deep involvement in the textile field, is transforming these industry dynamics into opportunities to drive the company's innovative development. "Every recent fluctuation in the acrylonitrile market affects the nerves of the entire acrylic fiber industry chain," said Li Xiong, Marketing Manager of Antai Textile, when analyzing the current market situation. As an important downstream enterprise in China's acrylonitrile industry, Antai Textile closely monitors every movement of upstream raw materials. According to industry data, as of July 10, the average capacity utilization rate of China's acrylonitrile industry has risen to 76.20%, with a weekly output of approximately 83,100 tons. In Li Xiong's view, this small but positive change indicates a gradual stabilization of the basic market supply. However, the complexity of the market goes far beyond this. Li Xiong further analyzed: "We have noticed that Jilin Petrochemical's new 260,000-ton/year acrylonitrile plant is scheduled to start production at the end of the month, which will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future supply pattern. At the same time, the temporary shutdown and maintenance of Shandong Haijiang's plant, as well as the recent price reduction of 50 yuan/ton by Lihuayi, these intertwined pieces of information bring both challenges and opportunities." Faced with this dynamic balance, Antai Textile's marketing team has already taken action, providing accurate decision-making basis for the company's product strategy adjustment through in-depth interpretation of these data. Such accurate market prediction is inseparable from the profound industry experience accumulated by Antai Textile since its establishment in 1993 and its ultimate control over the production process. Factory Director Huang of the Production Department deeply understands this: "Market changes ultimately fall on production. Our acrylic yarn, acrylic top, especially colored acrylic top and various fancy yarns, have extremely high requirements for the stability and quality of raw materials." Director Huang introduced that in response to the recent slight increase in acrylonitrile inventory (as of July 9, domestic factory inventory was 45,800 tons), the production department has collaborated with the procurement department to optimize the raw material procurement rhythm, and used the company's advanced blending and dyeing technologies to ensure that product cost competitiveness and quality consistency are maintained amid fluctuations in raw material prices. "After the new plant of Jilin Petrochemical is put into production, the supply of acrylonitrile may be more abundant. We are evaluating its potential positive impact on the production cost of acrylic top, especially colored acrylic top, one of our flagship products," Director Huang added. "Our goal is to quickly convert favorable changes in the raw material market into value for customers, such as through more stable supply, more attractive prices, or investing in R&D of more diverse fancy yarns to meet the downstream customers' growing demand for personalized and high-quality textiles." As an enterprise with core competitiveness in the acrylic fiber field, Antai Textile's products have long won the trust of many well-known domestic and foreign textile enterprises. Facing the current market opportunities and challenges, the company not only relies on the accurate capture of industry information by the marketing team led by Li Xiong and the continuous improvement of craftsmanship by the production team led by Director Huang, but also relies on its full-chain collaboration capability from raw material procurement, production control to market development. This capability enables Antai Textile to move forward steadily amid industry cyclical fluctuations and continuously contribute 'Antai Strength' to the development of the textile industry. Whether responding to short-term supply shortages caused by plant maintenance or planning for long-term changes in the raw material market, Antai Textile has demonstrated the composure and wisdom of a seasoned textile enterprise, committed to providing customers with higher-quality and more diverse acrylic fiber series products.
