production recovery of downstream market &demand tendency

Affected by the epidemic, the restart of polyester units and downstream factories was delayed after the Lunar New Year holiday, and some companies were noticed to resume operation after Feb 10, but the restart was postponed again in some regions, waiting for the new policy.

Many local government successively released application policy for the restart of production from Feb 11, and polyester units and downstream factories needed to apply for the production restart at first. Companies had to sign letter of responsibility, and the risk for small fabric mills and twisting units was big. Thus, the companies that have applied for the production recovery were mainly leading companies. However, companies will face the problems like the timely return of workers and the transportation of materials after the application was successful.

Companies should provide accommodation for workers and solve the transportation to guarantee the return of workers. Public transportation has been forbidden in some regions, affecting the return of workers.
