Polyethylene terephthalate China

The China PET report is published every Friday.

The report covers the three main PET products: staple fiber, filament yarn and fiber chips.

It includes Chinese domestic PET prices, operating rates and sales, as well as shutdown and restart information for the main domestic PET units.

Information on the spot market includes Chinese domestic prices, including those on an east China delivered and ex-works basis. PET staple fiber prices are delivery deal prices, while filament yarn and fiber chip prices are ex-works deal prices.

The report contains a comprehensive log of factors that influence pricing, such as the feedstock PTA or MEG price trends, downstream demand, operating rates and inventories at the main PET factories.

The report also comprises shutdown and restart information for the main PET units in east China throughout the week. Prices for the related fiber cotton are also listed.

Supply and demand factors covered include production problems, operating rates and monthly import data.

The report is considered an important source of information on the China PET market, and is used as a reference for discussions between suppliers and customers.
