2020 mask market analysis and forecast
As the global epidemic continues to spread and upgrade, masks have developed into a global “hard currency”, and the demand for masks has grown in a blowout. Despite the surge in global demand, it is difficult to quickly expand the production capacity of masks. Among them, the melt-spray-cloth, which is called the “heart” of masks, is in short supply. The price of raw materials has soared more than 20 times in 2 months, resulting in limited production capacity of masks; The factory was shut down due to “melt-spray-cloth scarcity” and cost pressures. Global masks are urgent, the epidemic situation in overseas countries is still spreading, and it is still unknown when to win this war against human epidemic.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the overall industrial chain of the mask industry is not complicated. The upstream is mainly the raw materials and production equipment for the production of masks, the midstream is the manufacture of various masks, and the downstream is the circulation of pharmacies and hospitals. In the early stage of the epidemic, manufacturing was the main bottleneck due to labor shortage. With the increase in output, there was a shortage of raw materials. With the efforts of upstream petrochemical companies such as Sinopec, related production equipment became the main bottleneck.
Judging from the output value of the mask industry, the output value of the mask industry in mainland China has broken 10 billion yuan in 2019. Affected by the coronary pneumonia epidemic in 2020, the growth rate of the output value of medical masks will be significantly increased (the growth rate is expected to reach 28%), which will drive the growth of the output value of the entire industry.
A few days ago, the high-level meeting held emphasized the strengthening of the “six guarantees” work, which specifically proposed the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain. At present, economic development is facing great challenges, and ensuring the supply chain of the industrial chain, to a large extent, means ensuring the production of enterprises and stabilizing Chinese manufacturing. So what does the “six guarantees” guarantee? Consumer exports including masks, life-saving medicines, mobile phones, and automobiles are related to national economy and people’s livelihood.At present, masks are basically non-woven fabrics. mask fabrics are composed of spun-bonded non-woven fabrics and melt-blown non-woven fabrics produced from polypropylene. They usually have three layers. Melt-blown-cloth is the middle layer. The ultrafine fiber with static electricity, in addition to blocking the larger dust particles, can also attract fine dust, bacteria and viruses through the static charge on the surface. It has strong filtering, shielding and thermal insulation properties and can play a sterilizing role. To isolate the role of viruses, melt-spray-cloth can be said to be the “heart” of a medical mask.
According to statistics from the China Industrial Textile Industry Association, China is the world’s largest producer of nonwoven fabrics. In 2018, the production of non-woven fabrics was about 5.94 million tons, but the output of melt-blown non-woven fabrics was very low. The annual production capacity was 53,500 tons, accounting for 1% of the production capacity of non-woven fabrics. , Battery separators and other products. At present, the demand for medical masks is still relatively strong, and it is expected that the output of non-woven fabrics will reach 6.76 million tons in 2020.
