Raw Material Price Hike Affects SMS Nonwoven Fabric Supply & Pricing Update

SMS nonwoven fabric, widely used in medical surgical gowns, sterilization wraps, protective coveralls and hygiene products, is facing continuous cost pressure driven by surging polypropylene (PP) raw material prices.

As the core feedstock of SMS composite nonwovens, polypropylene is a petrochemical product closely linked to global crude oil prices. Recent tight supply of PP resin, together with higher energy and logistics costs, has pushed up raw material costs sharply across the nonwoven industry.

Our team has taken multiple internal measures to mitigate the impact: optimizing production efficiency, adjusting inventory scheduling and cutting redundant operational expenses to absorb part of the cost growth. However, the continuous raw material rally has exceeded our capacity to fully bear the extra costs.

To maintain consistent product quality and stable delivery schedules for global partners, we have to implement a pricing adjustment for our SMS nonwoven products.

Orders confirmed before Oct  20th[Effective Cut-off Date] will still be honored at the original price. All new orders received after this date will adopt the updated quotation.

We deeply understand this adjustment brings inconvenience to your procurement plan. Quality remains our top priority. We will keep supplying medical-grade SMS nonwoven with reliable barrier performance, uniform GSM and stable tensile strength, and maintain our strict quality inspection standards as always.

We will closely monitor PP market trends and keep you updated on further raw material movements. If you have any questions about pricing, lead time or technical specifications of SMS nonwoven fabric, please contact our sales team directly.

Thank you sincerely for your trust and understanding. We look forward to continuing long-term win-win cooperation through this volatile raw material cycle.
