The polyester filament market remains sluggish, with a still tepid trading atmosphere. Downstream weaving manufacturers and texturing enterprises show relatively low purchasing enthusiasm. It was learned that the local filament price center shifted downward again. In Zhangjiagang, the prices for bright FDY 50D/24F and 75D/36F dropped to 14,100 RMB/T and 13,150 RMB/T respectively. Prices in Shengze and Jiaxing remain stable temporarily, but actual transactions are mainly based on negotiations. Although currently downstream weaving manufacturers and texturing enterprises hold small amounts of polyester filament raw materials, and the downstream loom startup rate has gradually returned to normal levels, the overall orders for downstream lining materials are worse than last year. Both downstream weaving and texturing are buying as needed, which makes it difficult for polyester filament trading volumes to increase. Additionally, filament and synthetic fiber factories face significant product inventory pressure. It is expected that the polyester filament market will continue to decline steadily in the near future.
