Since March 2026, the domestic textile raw material market has witnessed a widespread price increase. Affected by upstream factors such as the significant rise in crude oil prices, futures varieties like PTA and ethylene glycol have continued to soar, while the prices of polyester and nylon filament have steadily risen. The dye giant has initiated the fifth round of price hikes this year, and the ultra-fiber base fabric has also announced that it will adjust the price. At the same time, there is a significant divergence between the market expectations for the ratio of cotton and polyester raw materials and the actual operations of the industry. The changes in the textile market's pattern have attracted widespread attention in the industry.
Futures market leads the way; polyester staple fiber performs well.
The upward trend in the futures market has become an important indicator for the price increase of textile raw materials this time. The prices of many varieties have seen a significant increase. On March 5th, during trading, the PTA futures successfully broke through the 5900-point mark and made an attempt to reach the 6000-point level. The ethylene glycol futures also rose simultaneously, reaching a position above 4200 points.
The futures of polyester staple fibers have become the focus of the rising trend. Driven by the significant increase in crude oil and PTA (polyethylene terephthalate) prices after the attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel, the futures contract PF2604 of polyester staple fibers in China rose from 6,602 yuan per ton to 7,334 yuan per ton. Within just one week, the price increase reached 11.09%, making it the leading stock in the textile futures sector.
Synthetic fiber yarn prices rise across the board. Polyester factories now experience a secondary surge in prices.
The upward trend in the futures market quickly spread to the spot market for chemical fiber yarns. The prices of polyester and nylon yarns have been rising continuously, and the inflationary atmosphere has been intensifying. Among them, polyester yarns began a steady upward trend since the weekend, rising by 100-200 yuan per ton each day, and the cumulative increase has exceeded 350 yuan per ton.
On the afternoon of March 5th, the price increase trend further intensified. Many polyester factories experienced a second round of price hikes, pushing the price of polyester filament to a new high. Nylon filament also witnessed a strong rise, with the cumulative increase reaching nearly 1,000 yuan recently. The overall polyester filament market showed a general upward trend.
