SustainablesRecycled Polyester Staple Fiber and Yarn Prices (Monthly)
Virgin polyester staple fiber prices have surged since March under the pressure of crude oil and intermediates. Recycled polyester has not followed. Close virgin re-PSF now trades at a discount to virgin fiber in China, a rare situation as GRS certified fiber usually commands a premium. The discount is attracting new buyers, but weak demand has so far prevented producers from raising prices.
ConventionalNylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 Chain Prices (Monthly)
Nylon prices rose in September on higher feedstock costs. Benzene and caprolactam followed crude oil higher after new tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Nylon 6 filament producers passed most of the increase on to buyers and improved their margins. The rally lost momentum in the last week as crude oil and feedstock prices corrected.
ConventionalWool Prices In Australia and South Africa (Weekly)
Australian wool prices fell for a third week. The first sale after the Nanjing conference showed that Chinese demand is real, but selective. Fine wool found buyers and rose against the trend. Standard types kept falling, as mills resist paying more for wool that consumers will not pay for. A larger offering next week will test how much the market can absorb.
ConventionalLinen Fiber and Yarn Prices (Monthly)
The summer heatwave disrupted the European flax season, but it should not reduce output significantly. Plants matured early, and the dry weather slowed retting. New fiber will reach the market later than usual. Record acreage should still lift European production above last season's level. In China, spinners bought more flax fiber this year but exported less linen yarn. More of their yarn now goes to local weavers and garment makers.
ConventionalSpun Yarn Prices: Domestic Markets (Monthly)
Cotton and polyester moved in opposite directions in September. Cotton fiber prices fell after the summer rally. Cotton yarn prices started to follow, and India and China made the first cuts. Polyester staple fiber surged with crude oil after new attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Spinners in South Asia passed this cost on to polyester and blended yarns. In China, weak demand kept yarn prices almost flat.
ApparelEU Clothing Imports: Origin Comparison in 2nd Quarter 2026
The overall figures hide sharp differences between categories and origins. Extra-EU volumes fell 4.3% in knit clothing and rose 0.3% in woven clothing. China gained in almost every category. Most other suppliers lost ground in the large categories. Unit values moved in very different directions from one origin to another.
ConventionalPakistan Fiber and Yarn Prices (Monthly)
Cotton yarn prices rose sharply in Pakistan over the past four weeks. Cotton and polyester fiber became more expensive, and spinners passed these costs on to their buyers. Demand made this possible. Yarn exports rose, Chinese buyers booked ahead and yarn imports kept falling. As a result, prices are expected to stay firm in the near term.
ApparelUS Apparel Imports From Central America (Quarterly)
US apparel imports from Central America fell again in the second quarter of 2026. The decline was sharper than for total US imports. All six CAFTA-DR countries shipped lower volumes, but the results differ widely. Nicaragua lost nearly a third of its volumes and Honduras more than 10 percent. Guatemala and El Salvador limited their losses and increased the value of their sales. The Dominican Republic and Haiti declined in both volume and value.
