Last week (May 19-23, 2025), the market for caprolactam, the upstream raw material of Polyamide filament, regained confidence, prices rose slightly, the cost side was well supported, and the cost was driven, but the downstream market shipments were not smooth, demand continued to be weak, and the downstream procurement enthusiasm was not high. The inventory level of some polyamide filament manufacturers was high, but the polyamide filament market rebounded from decline, and prices rose slightly.

Cost: Last week (May 19-23, 2025), the spot market price of caprolactam stopped falling and rose, the market price of nylon PA6 chips and high-speed spinning chips showed an upward trend, the market price of raw materials stopped falling and rose, and the cost side was well supported.
As of May 23, 2025, the benchmark price of caprolactam in SunSirs was 9,450 RMB/ton, with a weekly increase of 0.89%.
The market price of nylon PA6 chips and high-speed spinning chips rose slightly within a week, and the price of nylon PA6 rose by 1.55% week-on-week, with good support on the cost side.
Supply and demand: The operating rate of some polyamide filament manufacturers decreased during the week, and the overall market supply declined, but the industry inventory level still showed an increasing trend, and the supply side performed poorly; the terminal market demand was weak, and some downstream manufacturers reduced or switched production, and the demand for polyamide filament decreased, and it was difficult to find favorable support on the demand side.
Market Forecast
Most of the nylon filament manufacturers' devices are operating stably, the industry supply is relatively high, and the overall market inventory level may still be high.
It is expected that the supply side of the polyamide filament market will be generally supported in the short term; there is no sign of improvement in the terminal market demand, and downstream factories may mainly consume inventory, and it is difficult to improve on the demand side.
Therefore, it is expected that the demand side of the polyamide filament market will remain weak next week.
On the whole, the spot market for raw material caprolactam may remain stable with small fluctuations, the market for nylon PA6 chips may rise, the cost side is well supported, the downstream market mostly adopts a cautious wait-and-see attitude, and purchases on demand, and the demand side is unlikely to improve. Analysts from SunSirs predict that the market price of polyamide filament will mainly fluctuate and consolidate next week, and the price may rise slightly.
