3. Brief introduction to the polyester product market
polyester chip
The polyester chip market adjusted slightly today. The PTA market for polyester raw materials has been narrowed, with solid cost support and stable transaction focus in the slice market. Downstream just needed to stock up, and market production and sales improved. It is expected that the market price of polyester chips may remain narrow in the short term.
polyester bottle flakes
Today, the market focus of the polyester bottle sheet market has temporarily stabilized. The PTA market of raw materials has been organized and supported by costs, the offers of mainstream bottle and tablet manufacturers have maintained stable stability, while the offers of dealers have adjusted slightly; downstream goods are mainly in need of stocking, and the market trading atmosphere is general. It is expected that the polyester bottle sheet market may fluctuate within a narrow range in the short term.
polyester filament
The polyester filament market adjusted slightly today. Cost support is average. Some polyester manufacturers have given concessions to ship goods, ranging from 50 to 100 yuan/ton. Downstream purchases on dips and appropriate amounts of positions are made up. Local production and sales in the market have rebounded. It is expected that the filament market price may maintain the consolidation pattern in the short term.
polyester staple fiber
Today, the polyester staple fiber market remains consolidated. With the support of raw materials, the price of staple fiber temporarily stopped falling, while the market supply and demand lacked positive results, and the market rebound remained weak. Downstream bargain-hunting stocks have increased, and production and sales in some areas are better. It is expected that the short-term polyester staple fiber market price may fluctuate within a narrow range.
