On May 28, 2026, prices in the domestic polyamide filament market exhibited a trend of isolated declines; prices for various product categories saw downward adjustments to varying degrees, and the overall market sentiment remained weak.

Price Trends

In terms of specific product categories:

polyamide DTY (Jiangsu, 70D/24F Semi-dull): Prices fell from 16,820 RMB/ton on May 27 to 16,640 RMB/ton on May 28—a single-day decline of 1.07%.

polyamide POY (Jiangsu, 86D/24F Semi-dull): Prices retreated from 14,600 RMB/ton to 14,500 RMB/ton—a single-day decline of 0.68%.

polyamide FDY (Fujian, 40D/12F Semi-dull): Prices dropped from 17,225 RMB/ton to 17,000 RMB/ton—a single-day decline of 1.31%.

All major product specifications experienced a distinct downward trend; among them, polyamide FDY saw a relatively more significant decline, resulting in a general shift downward in the market's overall bargaining focus.

The Core Reasons for the Price Decline

Weak Cost-Side Support: The spot market for the upstream raw material, caprolactam, remains in a stalemate. The market for polyamide PA6 chips continues its weak trajectory; with the raw material sector lacking clear upward momentum, it struggles to provide effective support for polyamide filament prices.

Weak Supply-Demand Fundamentals: Industry inventory levels are trending upward, and supply-side pressures are gradually becoming apparent. Downstream end-users demonstrate limited willingness to purchase, opting primarily for "as-needed" restocking; consequently, market trading remains sluggish. To stimulate sales, some manufacturers have proactively lowered their price quotes, thereby driving overall market prices downward.

Market Outlook

In the short term, the polyamide filament market continues to face multiple pressures: raw material cost trends are unlikely to see significant improvement; the supply-demand balance shows no immediate signs of substantial recovery; and the pace of downstream demand recovery remains sluggish. Consequently, the polyamide filament market is highly likely to maintain a weak, volatile trajectory, with prices potentially continuing their slight downward trend. Market participants should pay close attention to fluctuations in upstream raw material prices and changes in downstream end-user orders.
