Supply and demand: As the Spring Festival approaches, the current operating rate of nylon filament is down, but the supply on the market is sufficient, the inventory is high and the market is dominated by the digestion of inventory. In terms of overall demand, it was hard to hide the weak trend of the textile market this week. Weaving manufacturers' enthusiasm for stocking raw materials had declined. The market atmosphere was cold and the terminal demand was weak. The weaving machine rate had also weakened again. Bad news had flowed out from many places. Most weaving factories maintained the minimum load production.

Market outlook

The supply of goods in the market remains stable. With the approaching of the Spring Festival, downstream demand will further weaken, and the overall demand for textile terminals will decrease. Analysts from SunSirs expect that the nylon filament market will continue its weak finishing operation in the later period.
