Zhejiang Longsheng raises dye prices again in October! Disperse dyes up by 2000, reactive dyes up by a maximum of 15000

Jiangsu Yabang Dyestuff Co., Ltd. issued the "Price Adjustment Notice" (Yabang Co., Ltd. [2026] No. 40), starting from September 29, the price of bromamine acid dry powder will be adjusted to 100,000 yuan/ton.

The announcement stated that affected by the sharp rise in raw material prices, the production costs of dyes have risen sharply. In addition to the price adjustment of bromamine acid dry powder this time, other specifications of bromamine acid items will also be adjusted simultaneously, and relevant supporting items will also be raised by the same margin; if the raw material market continues to fluctuate in the future, product prices will be adjusted again accordingly.

Data shows that bromamine acid is an crucial intermediate to reactive dyes and some anthraquinone spread dyes. The sharp price increase of this raw material will immediately increase the production costs of downstream dye items.

Following the price hike of intermediates, Zhejiang Longsheng, the leading dye manufacturer, officially announced that starting from October 1, it will comprehensively increase the prices of two major categories: reactive dyes and spread dyes.

Among them, the full range of spread dyes will be uniformly increased by 2,000 yuan/ton, and the price-adjusted varieties include bulk and rigid-demand varieties such as spread black, dark blue, scarlet, and orange; the price adjustment range of reactive dyes is 4,000-15,000 yuan/ton, covering mainstream series such as yellow, red, meta-black, navy blue, and black. The most-applied reactive ink black WH400% in the market will be increased by 15,000 yuan/ton, and mainstream deep and dark color varieties such as reactive black will be increased by 10,000 yuan/ton. In addition to the above two companies, dye companies such as Runtu Co., Ltd. have also issued price increase letters one after another, and the sector-wide price hike atmosphere continues to spread.

From the underlying logic of the sector chain, the core driving factor to this round of dye price increases is the tight supply of dye intermediates. The market price of H acid, the core intermediate of reactive dyes, was about 40,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year, and the current quote has risen to 200,000 yuan/ton, an increase of about 400%; the core intermediate of spread dyes, reducing agent, has risen from 25,000 yuan/ton at the end of 2025 to the current 180,000 yuan/ton, an increase of greater than 600%. The skyrocketing prices of intermediates have been transmitted layer by layer, pushing downstream dye items to raise prices one after another.

sector insiders said that the continued shortage of intermediates has pushed up raw material costs, and dye companies have concentrated on price adjustments. The follow-up direction of dye prices will still closely follow the upstream intermediate supply and raw material market changes, and downstream printing and dyeing companies will continue to bear the pressure.
