Downstream demand is average, resulting in a bearish trend for caprolactam. Overall, the cost support for PA6 has decreased.

In October, the load of PA6 production enterprises showed significant stability and slight changes, with an average operating rate of around 73% within the month. The market supply is almost flat compared to the previous period, and the on-site supply has increased.

In terms of demand: Downstream, the load of the weaving and spinning industries has fluctuated slightly and remained stable, with an average load position of around 66% and 81%, respectively. The willingness of terminal enterprises to stock up within the month is not strong, and their acceptance of high priced goods is not good, resulting in a lag in the circulation speed of some goods. Market trading is concentrated on low prices, and overall support for the demand side of PA6 chips is weakening.

In October, the PA6 market fluctuated and reorganized after a decline. The price of caprolactam has fallen, and the cost support for PA6 is weak.
