Last week (June 2-8, 2025), the upstream cost support of nylon filament was insufficient, downstream enterprises had poor procurement efforts, and the fundamentals were weak. Downstream manufacturers held onto rigid demand procurement in multiple aspects, and the mainstream focus of the nylon fiber market did not change significantly, resulting in weak and stable prices.
Nylon filament prices remain weak and stable
According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, the price of nylon filament remained weakly stable last week (June 2-8, 2025). As of June 8, 2025, DTY (premium product) of nylon filament in Jiangsu region; 70D/24F) quoted 14760 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous week’s price; Nylon POY (premium product; 86D/24F) quoted 12300 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous week’s price; The price of nylon FDY (premium product: 40D/12F) is reported at 15400 yuan/ton, which is the same as the previous week’s price.
The raw material market remains weak and stable
In terms of cost: Last week (June 2-8, 2025), the spot market price of caprolactam remained weak and stable, and some manufacturers in the PA6 slice market had a good transaction atmosphere, but the cost was relatively weak. As of June 8, 2025, the benchmark price of caprolactam in Shengyi Society is 9450 yuan/ton, and the price is stable. During the week, the market price of high-speed spun nylon PA6 slices slightly decreased, with a weekly drop of 0.63%, mainly due to weak cost support.
Supply and demand: During the week, some nylon filament manufacturers have lowered their operating rates, resulting in a decline in overall market supply. However, industry inventory levels continue to increase, leading to poor performance on the supply side; The demand in the end market is weak, and some downstream manufacturers have reduced production or switched production, resulting in a decrease in demand for nylon filament. It is difficult to find favorable support from the demand side.
Future forecast
Cost aspect: In terms of caprolactam, pure benzene is expected to be weak, and the supply of caprolactam may recover next month. Slice manufacturers have low enthusiasm for purchasing caprolactam, and it is expected that the caprolactam market will continue to decline next week; In terms of PA6 slicing, cost support is limited, and the supply level of PA6 slicing market may continue to improve. Downstream market demand is weak, and it is expected that the market price of nylon PA6 slicing will decline.
Supply and demand: June is a transitional period from the market to the traditional off-season, coupled with the lack of signs of improvement in terminal market demand and low purchasing enthusiasm in downstream markets. Therefore, it is expected that the demand for nylon filament market may decrease next month. If there is no significant improvement in demand, under the pressure of large inventory, some nylon filament manufacturers may have the possibility of reducing production capacity, while the industry continues to release new production capacity. Therefore, it is expected that the supply of nylon filament market will decrease next month.
Overall, both the upstream raw material caprolactam spot market and the nylon PA6 chip market are likely to decline, with a lack of cost support and difficulty in improving downstream market demand. The demand side is dragging down market trends, and under the dual negative factors, analysts from Shengyi Society predict that the short-term nylon filament market prices will continue to be weak, with a decline expected to be between 100-300 yuan/ton.
