In November 2025, the polyamide filament market remained weak and stable, with prices continuing to be flat and at a low level. Supply and demand were bearish, with no improvement in shipments from polyamide manufacturers and high inventory levels. Both supply and demand sides lacked support for polyamide filament prices. On the raw material side, support was strong, with the November 2025 settlement price at 8,900 RMB/ton (liquid premium grade, six-month acceptance, ex-factory), an increase of 320 RMB/ton compared to the October settlement price, indicating an upward shift in the polyamide PA6 chip market. With strong upstream and weak downstream markets, the polyamide fiber market consolidated sideways, and prices remained weak and stable.

Price trend:

According to SunSirs' commodity price analysis system, in November 2025, the price of polyamide filament remained weak and stable. As of November 28, 2025, the quoted price for polyamide filament DTY (premium grade; 70D/24F) in Jiangsu region was 13,560 RMB/ton; the price for polyamide POY (premium grade; 86D/24F) was 11,300 RMB/ton; and the price for polyamide FDY (premium grade: 40D/12F) was 14,175 RMB/ton.  These prices remained unchanged from the same period in October and were at their lowest point in the past five years.

Market Analysis

Cost aspects: In November 2025, due to production cuts by caprolactam manufacturers, spot market prices rose sharply during the month. The polyamide PA6 chip market mainly operated strongly, with prices increasing, supported by strong cost-side factors. As of November 28, 2025, the benchmark price of caprolactam on SunSirs was 8,643 RMB/ton, an increase of 8.89% for the month. The price of high-speed spinning polyamide PA6 chips also increased during the month, with a weekly increase of 2.79%, providing positive support for polyamide yarn prices.

Supply and Demand: Within the month, some polyamide filament manufacturers had ample overall supply, but industry inventory levels continued to increase. While some companies experienced order backlogs, overall activity was far below the level of the same period last year. Generally, market demand was weak, leading to increasing inventory pressure on polyamide manufacturers.  Supply-side performance was poor; weak demand in the end market, with some downstream manufacturers reducing production or switching to other products, resulted in decreased demand for polyamide filament. Positive support from the demand side was difficult to find, with most buyers only purchasing for immediate needs. Industry participants largely maintained a cautious wait-and-see attitude.

Market Forecast:

The polyamide filament market is expected to remain weak in the near future, with prices slightly increasing due to rising raw material costs and continued upstream and downstream competition within the industry chain. In terms of supply, market supply remains stable, and the supply pattern remains relatively loose, with no clear signs of improvement in the supply-demand structure. On the demand side, overall order volume remains stable, with new orders mainly consisting of essential winter clothing orders. Weaving manufacturers remain cautious in their purchasing. Regarding costs, the caprolactam market is experiencing upward fluctuations, and attention should be paid to subsequent factory production cuts. There are signals of production cuts and reduced output in the market, which may boost prices. Short-term prices are expected to remain at a low level. Overall, SunSirs analysts predict that the polyamide filament market will continue its weak trend in the short term, with prices slightly increasing in line with raw material costs.
