Regional Outlook

Updated to Q3 2016

Prices in the polyester fibre market increased from early July to early August, then decreased in mid-August.

In the third quarter, global crude oil prices rebounded, pushing up feedstock prices and offering strong support to PET prices. This, combined with some PET producers’ efforts in pushing up prices, led to higher prices.

Methodology

ICIS price assessments are based on information gathered from a wide cross-section of the market, comprising consumers, producers, traders and distributors from more than 250 reporters world-wide. Confirmed deals, verified by both buyer and seller, provide the foundation of our price assessments.

Our in-depth market knowledge drives our specialist focus, as we recognise the importance of individual market dynamics and not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Over 25 years of reporting on key chemicals markets, including Polyethylene terephthalate, has brought global recognition of our methodology as being unbiased, authoritative and rigorous in preserving our editorial integrity. Our global network of reporters in Houston, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Mumbai, Perth and Moscow ensures unrivalled coverage of established and emerging markets.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Methodology

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exists both as an amorphous (transparent) and a semi-crystalline (opaque and white) thermoplastic, and can be made into either a resin or a film.

Price reporting

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.

Price history

ICIS collects pricing data on a wide range of chemical, energy and fertilizer products, including Polyethylene terephthalate. Our extensive experience in price reporting means we can offer you access to historical data dating back more than 20 years for certain commodities.

Our time series of pricing data enable you to build and model trends, to get a view of where markets might be heading. The data service includes charting functionality, allowing you to chart and download multiple data series for manipulation in your own internal models. You can also export data to Excel via the ICIS dashboard service.
