Analysis review

Last week (August 12-18), the polyamide filament market temporarily stabilized and consolidated. There was temporarily no significant improvement in downstream demand, and manufacturers were following up on demand from multiple parties. The trading atmosphere on the market was flat, and businesses lacked confidence in the future market. Sinopec's high-end CPL weekly closing price had increased, with good cost support but little change in cost support. The industry's operating rate remained stable, with little change in on-site supply. The inventory levels of various manufacturers were average, and inventory pressure was not significant. Overall, cost demand remained stable, and the price of polyamide filament was generally stable.

The trend of raw materials slightly increased

Last week (August 12-18), the market fundamentals of polyamide filament raw material CPL improved, with good cost support. The supply expectation was slightly tight, and downstream polyamide PA6 production remained at a high level, with stable demand. The supply expectation of CPL was slightly tight, and it is expected that the CPL market will be slightly better organized in the later stage.

Supply and demand

Last week (August 12-18), polyamide manufacturers maintained stable operating loads and sufficient supply of goods. In August, it is the traditional off-season for textiles, and downstream demand was weak. The weaving start-up rate continued to decline, and downstream manufacturers continued to purchase according to demand, resulting in weak demand for polyamide spinning.

Market outlook

The spot market for raw materials such as CPL and PA6 is expected to be slightly better organized, with normal on-site supply and weak downstream demand. With the disappearance of high temperature weather, the trading atmosphere for polyamide civilian silk may slightly rebound, but it will still be mainly based on on-demand purchasing. SunSirs’ analysts predict that the short-term nylon filament market will mainly follow the positive consolidation of raw materials, and prices will mainly fluctuate upward in a narrow range.
