The cost support for PTA has been strengthened and the cost has risen. Under the low processing fee, PTA equipment maintenance and production decreased more.

In terms of demand, the gold three silver four has come to an end, terminal demand has not exceeded expectations, and the lack of follow-up of new orders has restricted the factory's willingness to purchase raw materials. The operating rate of most textile clusters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been corrected, and the comprehensive operating rate has dropped from 86% in early April to around 82%.
SunSirs analysts believe that PTA will continue to destock in May, but due to the reduction in maintenance and the planned commissioning of 3.3 million tons of new production capacity of Yisheng New Materials, the rate of destocking is likely to slow down. It is rumored that the major major polyester filament manufacturers will engage in sales promotion tomorrow, which will stimulate production and sales, and the short-term demand will be improved due to the procurement and stocking before the May Day holiday. However, gradually entering the off-season for textiles, it is more likely that the polyester filament market will remain volatile and weaken in May.
