Downstream customers purchase conservatively. Most of them have the mentality of “buying up but not buying down”. The demand of the terminal market is flat, and the actual transaction receipt is discussed in detail. The order volume of textile enterprises this year is also far lower than that of the same period in previous years, and the demand has not been centralized. At present, the operating rate of circular machine industry is around 40%, and that of warp knitting industry is 60% to 70%.

It is expected that the spandex market will be mainly stable in the short term.
