PRICE REPORTS
Our statistical reports display a comprehensive view of the market prices every week, month, or quarter, depending on the products. Market analysis offers prospects for future price trends.Â
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.
ConventionalBangladesh Yarn Market Prices (Monthly)
Yarn prices in Bangladesh jumped in September. Gas and power shortages cut spinning output and spinners raised their offers. Prices then stopped rising in the last two weeks as gas supply improved. The government has also reopened the door to yarn imports after a short-lived attempt to restrict them. With cotton import costs now falling, the market has little room for further gains.
ConventionalPolyester Market Prices in Asia (Weekly)
Crude oil fell last week as tensions eased in the Middle East. This has not yet brought relief to polyester producers in China. PTA and MEG remain in short supply, so production costs stay high. Downstream buyers refuse to pay more, and fiber prices have stopped rising. Producers are left with negative margins and respond by cutting output.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the entire polyester value chain, from crude oil to polyester fibers, covering naphtha, mixed xylenes, paraxylene (PX), purified terephthalic acid (PTA), monoethylene glycol (MEG), polyester chips, polyester staple fiber (PSF), and polyester filament yarns.
