Sharp increase in demand for masks

Cosmetics prices rise
The price of cosmetics rises. In 2020, the market of "mask heart" meltblown cloth has been very crazy, and the price of polypropylene, the main raw material of meltblown cloth, soars. With the global spread of the epidemic, many foreign high-end cosmetics enterprises have also embarked on the road of changing production of anti epidemic products. Polypropylene and other materials have experienced a round of rise. Polypropylene is also the main material for many cosmetic plastic packaging materials.
Nonwoven fabric is the base material for making facial mask. The shift of production focus of non-woven factories has greatly squeezed the production line of mask film cloth, resulting in the price increase of membrane cloth and even the interruption of supply.
At the moment when the epidemic continues, we should be more prepared for a long-term challenge, return to the essence, and attract consumers with better products than relying on price increases.
