Viscose Spunlace Price Trend Analysis 2026: Market Insights, Historical Prices, Supply Demand Analysis, Latest News & Price Drivers

Viscose Spunlace Price Trend H1 2026
Viscose Spunlace is a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric made from viscose and polyester fibres, used across personal care and hygiene applications including wet wipes, dry hair towels, facial cleansing pads, and medical grade nonwovens. Its pricing tracks viscose staple fibre and polyester staple fibre, so volatility in wood pulp or petrochemical markets transmits quickly to finished spunlace rolls.
Entering H1 2026, the market carried a cautious, soft undertone extending the weakness of 2025. In China, the dominant producer and exporter, mill inventories stayed elevated early in the year as hygiene and personal care manufacturers restrained buying and drew down stock. Viscose staple fibre costs were manageable through January and February on adequate pulp availability and subdued energy costs, while polyester staple fibre tracked a range bound course, leaving sellers unable to push through increases. South and Southeast Asia were modestly more constructive, with Indian producers supported by seasonal hygiene demand and export enquiries. European buyers began well stocked after prudent Q4 procurement, with interest reviving late in Q1 as inventories thinned. In Q2, Chinese export enquiries strengthened on Latin American and Middle Eastern interest, domestic restocking resumed ahead of summer demand, and European buyers committed to mid term volumes, taking the market from soft to cautiously stabilising.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, Viscose Spunlace prices should stay range bound through H2 2026 as soft feedstock costs meet cautiously recovering hygiene demand. A sustained pickup in Chinese domestic offtake or firmer viscose staple fibre costs would tilt the balance toward modest recovery, while ample pulp and polyester availability remains the main cap on upside.

Asia
In Q1’25, the Viscose Spunlace market in Asia experienced a mixed trend, similar to the broader viscose fibre market. January and early February saw steady demand from hygiene and nonwoven sectors, supported by active replenishment after the New Year holidays. Manufacturers resumed operations gradually, which helped avoid supply surpluses and kept prices stable to slightly firm. However, as February progressed, demand softened due to tight liquidity in downstream sectors and cautious purchasing behaviour.
The market saw a further slowdown in March, with increasing inventories and weaker orders from export markets. While feedstock availability remained stable and freight rates declined, sluggish textile and hygiene sector consumption weighed on prices. Overall, the quarter ended on a weaker note for the Asian Viscose Spunlace market.
Europe
The European Viscose Spunlace market showed a largely positive tone during the first two months of Q1’25. Strong post-holiday demand, especially from the hygiene and personal care industries, drove active restocking. Supply constraints due to ongoing port congestion and labor disruptions added upward pressure to prices during January and February.
However, March brought a mild correction as supply conditions improved and demand growth slowed. Buyers turned cautious amid softening global economic signals and concerns over excess inventory. Despite lingering logistical challenges and steady production costs, the market faced slight downward pressure toward the end of the quarter.
North America
In North America, the Viscose Spunlace market followed a bearish path throughout Q1’25. January began with optimism as buyers moved quickly to secure materials amid concerns of port strikes and rising freight costs. However, as the quarter advanced, market sentiment turned weaker.
Inventory levels remained high, imports continued steadily, and demand from nonwovens and hygiene sectors lost momentum. March saw reduced buyer activity, influenced by soft consumer spending and ongoing uncertainty around trade policies and tariffs. Lower freight rates and stable feedstock prices offered little support, and overall pricing softened through the quarter.

Viscose Spunlace Production Processes
Viscose spunlace production involves spinning viscose and polyester fibers and subjecting them to hydroentanglement using high-pressure water jets. This process enables the spinning and entangling of non-woven webs. After hydroentanglement, the non-woven material is dried and wound onto spools for further use.
