At the beginning of the week, driven by the raw material market, the production and sales of polyester filament took off. On the 25th, the production and sales of polyester filament were more than 300%. The willingness of downstream textile enterprises to copy the bottom increased. Some downstream factories replenished goods. The purchasing strength was generally larger than that in the earlier stage. The market trading atmosphere was hot, and the factory inventory pressure was also relieved. However, with the decline of crude oil, the weaving heat has declined, and the production and sales have declined. At present, the average production and sales of mainstream factories are around 60%. The overall inventory of polyester market is concentrated in 23-36 days, of which POY inventory is 6-13 days, FDY inventory is around 16-34 days, and DTY inventory is about 24-36 days.

Near the end of November, the domestic textile terminal market continued to cool down, and the start-up rate of traditional low-season textile enterprises declined, and the comprehensive starting rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms was reduced to below 86%. The polyester industry was ultimately high in production and sales, and lacked sustainability. According to China Textile City News, the current downstream fabric trade began to reduce orders, stop the situation. In the market, the curtain cloth and home decoration fabric with polyester filament as the main raw material are still insufficient compared with the previous best-selling seasons, and some small and medium-sized business operators’ counterpart merchants still place relatively limited orders. However, the order delivery batch sizes of various business outlets are mutual, but the overall market sales volume is still insufficient. It is expected that the transaction in the traditional market will shrink back, and the overall market transaction will show a small trend of shock.
Xia Ting, an analyst at the business agency, believes that the momentum of crude oil continued to rise is insufficient, PTA began to accelerate the accumulation of inventory at the end of November, and Fujian Baihong new production capacity is planned to be put into operation next month, resulting in increased supply pressure. In addition, the terminal textile into the traditional off-season, the new orders in the market are not good, and the wait-and-see mood is strong. It is expected that the price of polyester filament will be stable and weak in the short term.
