On the evening of June 15th, the news that “the printing and dyeing factories in Wujiang area began to limit production: half open and half closed” spread wildly in the circle of textile people’s friends. Throughout the day of the 16th, the editor continued to track the production limit and suspension event. Now everyone is focusing on two things:
First: Why did the dyeing factories in Wujiang area suspend production? How long will it last?
Second: After half of the printing and dyeing production capacity in Wujiang was shut down, have dyeing fees increased?
With these two questions, the editor continued to search for information: As for the reason for the discontinuation of production, everyone pointed to environmental protection from the beginning. Although each dyeing factory stated that the news of the suspension of production was a verbal notification and no relevant paper notification was received, judging from the notices posted by some manufacturers, the reason for the production restriction is that the “antimony” concentration in the Taipu River exceeds the standard. ↓↓
In addition, on the morning of the 15th, the Suzhou Municipal Government also held a meeting on the management of blue algae in Taihu Lake. Wujiang happens to be within the area governed by the Taihu Lake Management Regulations.

As for the time for the suspension of production, although there is no clear official statement yet, the editor guesses that the time will not be too long and is expected to be determined based on the degree of recovery of the Taipu River’s environmental protection. After all, a long-term suspension of production will have a significant impact on the entire textile industry chain.
Impact of production restrictions: Dyeing fees have increased today!

After the news of production restriction came out, the printing and dyeing market had mixed reactions today. A small number of printing and dyeing companies in Wujiang area took notice of the news, and the dyeing fee prices rose in response. Some companies have also expressed that they will wait and see for the time being, and there may be verbal price increase notices in the future. Below is the price increase notice from some dyeing factories provided to the editor by enthusiastic fans of China Silk City Network (WeChat ID: cn168tex)!
So, is the current increase in dyeing fees just the beginning? The editor believes that from the supply side, the output affected by the 50% production limit of Wujiang printing and dyeing enterprises will not have much impact on the country. However, for the Wujiang textile industry with a gray cloth output of 15 billion meters and a printing and dyeing capacity of only 5 billion meters, it will undoubtedly have a greater impact.
It is foreseeable that the restriction of printing and dyeing production capacity will inevitably lead to a decline in supply, and printing and dyeing companies will inevitably increase dyeing fees appropriately. Fortunately, according to some industry insiders, the business situation of dyeing factories in Wujiang area has been average recently, and the terminal weaving market has also entered the off-season, which may reduce the impact of production restrictions on the entire textile industry chain.
