Analysis and forecast

 

On the whole, the nylon market atmosphere maintained good in February, and the prices of most industrial products continued to rise for the better. From the second half of 2020, the domestic chemical fiber demand has recovered to the normal level, and the terminal recovery may drive the demand for the whole chemical fiber industry chain. In 2021, the supply and demand pattern is good, the new production capacity of nylon fiber is limited, and the demand improvement may drive the future nylon fiber spinning to a new round of rising cycle. With the increase of the cost of nylon industry, it is expected that the nylon market will remain high in the short term.
