Raw material PA6: This week (March 6-10), the domestic PA6 market was weak and stable, and the downstream polyamide spinning factories were only interested in low-price chips, which improved the transaction of some low-price chips on the market, but still showed resistance to high-price chips.

Market outlook

In March, new downstream orders were not issued in a centralized manner, but the recovery of demand was still uncertain, and the polyamide filament factory load increased, the supply and demand side was difficult to be positive, the pressure on the production cost of polyamide filament was not reduced, the enterprises were willing to support high prices, and the market wait-and-see sentiment was strong. The analysts of SunSirs expect that the polyamide filament market will be stalemated and sorted in the short term.
