Viscose Staple Fibre (vsf) Industrial Applications

viscose staple fibre market share end use

Historically, several events have caused significant fluctuations in Viscose Staple Fibre (vsf) prices

  • Post-Pandemic Recovery & Rising Input Costs (2021-2022): The period of 2021–2022 saw a strong rebound in global textile demand as markets reopened and consumer spending revived. This recovery coincided with significant increases in raw material costs, particularly dissolving pulp, caustic soda, and energy. Freight rates remained elevated, adding pressure on sourcing and export flows. Strong demand from spinning mills, coupled with higher production expenses, pushed VSF prices upward across key markets. Producers attempted to ramp up operating rates, but tight supply of chemicals and logistical challenges limited immediate relief. As a result, VSF prices remained firm and highly sensitive to cost movements during this period.
  • COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Supply & Demand (2020): In 2020, the global spread of COVID-19 severely disrupted the textile value chain, resulting in sharp fluctuations in VSF prices. Lockdowns and mobility restrictions caused a steep decline in consumption from spinning mills, apparel units, and home textile manufacturers. With demand collapsing, producers were compelled to reduce output, operate at minimal rates, or temporarily shut down lines. Excess inventory and weak downstream sentiment pushed prices downward during the first half of the year. However, logistical constraints and limited workforce availability also created occasional supply challenges. As economies gradually reopened, price recovery began, supported by restocking and renewed textile demand.
  • Environmental Inspections in China (2017–2018): During 2017–2018, China carried out a series of stringent environmental inspections across major chemical and fibre-producing regions. These audits forced several dissolving pulp and VSF facilities to temporarily suspend operations to meet compliance requirements. The sudden reduction in supply created tightness in both domestic and international markets, leading to noticeable price escalations. Manufacturers struggled with lower operating rates, while buyers faced uncertainty regarding delivery timelines. The restricted availability pushed mills to seek alternative fibres, further intensifying market imbalance. Overall, the regulatory pressure created sustained volatility in VSF pricing throughout this period.

Viscose staple fibre is a regenerated cellulose fibre made from dissolving wood pulp. It is widely used in spinning mills to produce 100% VSF yarn or blends with cotton and polyester. The fibre is preferred for its softness, breathability, and moisture absorption, making it suitable for apparel, home textiles, and nonwoven applications.

VSF prices are mainly driven by dissolving pulp costs, caustic soda prices, energy expenses, and environmental regulations affecting production. Market demand from spinning mills, the availability of substitute fibres, and global trade policies also play crucial roles. Additional volatility may arise from logistics disruptions and currency fluctuations in major importing regions.

The strongest demand comes from the textile sector, particularly knitted and woven apparel, where VSF is valued for comfort and drapability. Home textiles, nonwovens, and hygiene products also contribute significantly to consumption. Increasing interest in cellulose-based and biodegradable fibres is further supporting long-term demand for VSF across multiple industries.
