Towards the end of the year, the terminal market gradually started the closing work, the demand follow-up was a little cautious, mainly to recover the payment for goods, although there were some shipments, but the overall situation was relatively weak.

SunSirs analysts believe that spandex supply is just goood, manufacturers actively shipping. This year's Spring Festival holiday is earlier than previous years. The terminal market is gradually entering the end of the year stage. In the early stage, there is a little stock, but the quantity is relatively small, so it is prudent to purchase. At the same time, the overall situation of the textile industry this year is not good, and the enterprise's capital chain is very tight. Especially near the end of the year, with the increase of holiday manufacturers, it is expected that spandex market will be difficult to boost.
