Recently, price increases in the dye industry have received attention. At the beginning of September, leading dye companies such as Zhejiang Longsheng and Runtu Co., Ltd. concentrated on raising prices. Upstream, the average price of the domestic H acid market stood at 150,000 yuan/ton, up 275% from the beginning of the year, and continues to set new historical highs. The Shenwan Hongyuan report points out that the peak storage cycle for traditional textile clothing is approaching, and dye prices are expected to continue to rise, supported by a boom in upstream intermediates. This round of dye price increases is not a simple seasonal fluctuation, but a concentrated outbreak of long-term supply-side constraints on the upstream intermediate H acid. H acid is an intermediate in the production of acidic dyes, direct dyes and reactive dyes. According to data, at the beginning of 2026, the price of H acid was about 40,000 yuan/ton. By the beginning of September, some manufacturers' prices hit 150,000 yuan/ton, and the price reached a new historical high. The supply situation for reducing products, another major raw material for dyes, is also grim. According to data from the Chamber of Commerce, the average price of reduced products in the market rose from 25,000 yuan/ton at the end of 2025 to the current 100,000 yuan/ton to 120,000 yuan/ton, an increase of nearly 380% during the year.
