Polyester chain prices in Asia rose sharply this week. New attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz sent crude oil surging, and the increase moved quickly down the chain to paraxylene and PTA. Polyester fibers followed in China, where producers are cutting output, but the downstream is struggling to absorb the higher costs.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the entire polyester value chain, from crude oil to polyester fibers, covering naphtha, mixed xylenes, paraxylene (PX), purified terephthalic acid (PTA), monoethylene glycol (MEG), polyester chips, polyester staple fiber (PSF), and polyester filament yarns.
Domestic polyester fiber markets in China,

Polyester fiber prices have surged in China as a new jump in crude oil and a shortage of MEG push the whole chain higher.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the entire polyester value chain, from crude oil to polyester fibers, covering naphtha, mixed xylenes, paraxylene (PX), purified terephthalic acid (PTA), monoethylene glycol (MEG), polyester chips, polyester staple fiber (PSF), and polyester filament yarns. Domestic polyester fiber markets in China, India, and Pakistan are analyzed and compared. Historical price data covering up to 15 years are available, and all data can be downloaded.
