Table 1 Domestic Polyamide 6 Price Summary (Unit: Yuan/Ton)

Today's polyamide 6 chip market has stabilized, with the price of caprolactam, the raw material, continuing to fall. However, as chips are currently being sold at a loss, polymer enterprises are not keen on selling at low prices. Some chips have seen a slight increase in price, but overall downstream demand is limited, and purchases are made based on need, choosing lower prices. Some low-priced chips have seen improved transactions. In East China, the cash price for conventional spinning regular PA6 is 10300-10600 yuan/ton (short delivery), and the acceptance price for high-speed spinning is 11300-11800 yuan/ton (delivery included). The cash self-pickup price in Chaohu is 9600-9700 yuan/ton.

3production dynamics

The capacity utilization rate of polyamide 6 is 83.34%. The price of raw materials has fallen, and the price of conventional spinning chips of polyamide 6 remains stable. The profit for conventional spinning chips of polyamide 6 is -75 yuan/ton, and the profit for high-speed spinning is 249.25 yuan/ton.

4price prediction

From the cost perspective, the raw material caprolactam market is low or may continue to be at a low level, with attention to the subsequent maintenance and load reduction of raw material enterprises; from the supply and demand perspective, polymerization enterprises maintain high levels of operation, some enterprises undergo maintenance and load reduction to alleviate inventory pressure, but downstream buyers are cautious in choosing to replenish stocks at lower prices. It is expected that the recent polyamide 6 market will be in a consolidation phase, closely monitoring downstream demand and manufacturer price adjustment dynamics.
