The polyester value chain is grappling with a mismatch in market dynamics, as a rebound in crude oil prices—fueled by renewed tensions in the Middle East—has had minimal impact on polyester intermediate producers. These producers are instead facing mounting challenges from rising inventories and weakening demand during the traditionally slow season for polyester production. This report offers a comprehensive overview of the prices for essential components within the polyester chain, including paraxylene (PX), purified terephthalic acid (PTA), monoethylene glycol (MEG), polyester chips, staple fiber, and filament yarn. Furthermore, it includes domestic price data for both China and India, all of which is readily available for users to download.

Falling crude oil prices have again driven down polyester chain prices this week. Polyester fiber prices expected to decline due to a drop in intermediate costs and fiber demand.
