2026-04-24Evolution of cotton planting area & production and its impact on textile industry
——Chen Sujin, Lead analyst of CCFGroup
The global cotton market is currently characterized by a core pattern of "tightening supply and resilient demand". Global cotton planting area for 2026/27 is expected to decline slightly, with China, Australia and Brazil as the main reducing regions affected by policies, weather and price ratios.2026-04-24PSF industry chain operation review and outlook for 2026
——Kong Lingfang, Lead analyst, CCFGroup
Currently, prices for direct-spun PSF are underpinned by raw material costs. Rising prices for upstream inputs likePXand PTA have driven up production costs. Meanwhile, the industry's operating rate remains low, and inventory is at relatively high positions compared to recent years, leading to continuously squeezed processing spread.2026-04-24Wood pulp market development in specialty
——Billy Wang, Central National Asia Limited
Mr. Wang provided a comprehensive review of the diverse applications of wood pulp across the cellulose value chain and the broader market landscape. Wood pulp is now used across papermaking, textiles and specialty materials. Demand for wood pulp has grown steadily in segments such as spunlace nonwovens, regenerated cellulose fiber, amino film plastics and cellulose ethers. 2026-04-24The Outlook for Market Pulp
——Oliver Lansdell, Analyst and Consultant of Hawkins Wright
In 2025, global bleached chemical pulp shipments increased by approximately 3% year-on-year, with China contributing significant growth, while European and North American markets saw declines. 2026-04-24DWP Market Update
——Christian Chavassieu, Managing Partner of Celco
Christian Chavassieu from Celco presented a report on "DWP Market Update," providing an in-depth analysis of the global dissolving pulp market trend from 2025 to 2026. Currently, the supply-demand gap in the global dissolving pulp market continues to narrow, with notable structural differentiation. 2026-04-24Global Dissolving Pulp and Man-Made Cellulosic Fibers at a Crossroads: Cost Pressures, Trade Flows, and Future Dynamics
——AFRY's João Cordeiro
The report highlights that global dissolving pulp capacity continues to shift toward Asia and South America, with China remaining the largest importing market. In terms of production, the hardwood kraft process remains the dominant technology.2026-04-23Chain impact under geopolitical conflicts energy transition, sulfur supply shifts and maritime re-evaluation
——Joe Zhao, China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation
The report pointed out that the global chemical industry pattern is undergoing profound changes, with some capacity gradually shifting to China, making China an important force in the global chemical market.2026-04-23European Cellulose Market Status Quo & Future Trends of China–EU Macro/Micro Economics and Trade
——Craig Barker, CEO of Kelheim
The report pointed out that the European economy is in a phase of low growth and high pressure. Soaring inflation is driving consumption downgrades, with spending on textiles and apparel continuing to decline.2026-04-23New Trends and Opportunities in the Global Layout Strategy of the Textile and Apparel Industry
——Rosa Xue, Assistant to the Director, International Trade Office, China National Textile and Apparel Council/China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Textile Sub-Council
The report first reviews the latest developments in international cooperation.

ASEAN remained the largest export market, while companies accelerated their global expansion and outbound investment stayed highly concentrated in Asia, with Vietnam as the core destination.2026-04-23Empowering cellulose Industry with dual engines of technology and green development
——Liu Hui, Assistant to General Manager, Tangshan Sanyou Group Xingda Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd
Liu Hui, Assistant to General Manager, Tangshan Sanyou Group Xingda Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd, presented a report titled "Empowering cellulose Industry with dual engines of technology and green development," explaining how Tangshan Sanyou "competes internally" against the backdrop of technology and green development.2026-04-23Judgment on the 2026 global cellulose fiber supply-demand pattern and price trends
——Kevin Ding, Chief Analyst of Cellulose, CCFGroup
Against a complex macro environment and ongoing supply chain restructuring, competition in the cellulose fiber industry has intensified in 2025, though structural opportunities remain. 2026-04-23Sustainable development transformation and path exploration in regenerated cellulose fiber industry
——Huang Wenbin, Sustainability Director of Sateri Group
The report first introduced Sateri Group's background, reviewed the high-quality development journey of the global textile industry over the past decade, and provided preliminary insights on the future market share and development trends of regenerated cellulose fibers. 2026-04-23Outlook for high-quality development of cellulose fibers during the 15th Five-Year Plan period
——Zhang Zixin, Secretary-General of the Cellulose Fiber Branch of China Chemical Fibers Association
Industrial development: Before the new century, global fiber production grew rapidly, but growth has slowed in recent years. However, regenerated cellulose fibers-thanks to their renewable raw materials and biodegradable properties-are favored by downstream sectors.2026-04-23Economic development outlook under great changes and suggestions for traditional enterprises
——Zhao Wei, Professor and Doctoral Advisor, School of Economics, Zhejiang University
Mr. Zhao first elaborated on the Iran conflict and its impacts on the global and Chinese economies.
