Polyester Market Reports

Our weekly Polyester Fiber Reports cover the polyester staple fibers (PSF) and polyester filament yarns (PFY) in China, India, and Pakistan.  The weekly Polyester Chain Reports cover the vertical production stages, from crude oil to fibers, with a focus on paraxylene, PTA, and MEG.  Monthly comparison reports offer a broad view of PSF vs. Cotton, and PSF vs. polyester spun yarns in China, India, and Pakistan. Recycled polyester reports are released every quarter. 

Cotton & Polyester Price Comparison (Monthly)

The average monthly data for March 2025 confirms a steady decline in cotton prices and a more gradual drop in polyester prices, with the narrowing cost gap between the two fibers signaling a shift toward greater substitution in key Asian markets. Our monthly report offers a detailed comparison of average cotton and PSF prices in China, India, and Pakistan, providing insights into both current and historical trends in the price disparity between cotton and polyester. It includes historical data covering the last 15 years, available for download. Read more...

Polyester Fibers: China, India, Pakistan  (Weekly)

Polyester fiber markets remained weak in early April, with Chinese PFY producers cutting output to prevent a price war, PSF prices stabilizing but continuing their long-term decline, and rising feedstock costs failing to improve margins amid poor demand, geopolitical uncertainty, and looming U.S. tariff threats. Our weekly report provides a comprehensive picture of polyester staple fiber (PSF) and polyester filament yarn (POY, DTY, and FDY) markets in China, India, and Pakistan. The report offers weekly updated data in both local currencies and US dollars to make easy comparisons with our extensive price tables. All of the data is available for download.
