Nylon DTY Price Consolidation: Supply-Demand Tug-of-War and Procurement Strategy Shifts in a Mid-Range Volatility Market

The benchmark price of nylon DTY, a key indicator for the nylon filament market, settled at 16,120 CNY/ton on July 29. While this figure appears unremarkable, it reflects a delicate balance after a year of significant price swings in the chemical fiber supply chain. From an annual perspective, the current price sits precisely at the midpoint of the year's fluctuation range, neither touching the low of 13,560 CNY/ton nor the peak of 18,960 CNY/ton. This mid-range consolidation often signals the most intense tug-of-war between upstream and downstream players, accompanied by divergent market expectations.
