Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025

Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia,𒐪 polyester (POY) prices inched upward as stable raw material supplies from purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG) supported production activity. The keyword price index showed marginal improvement, driven by steady demand from downstream texturizers and weaving mills. While operating rates among producers remained balanced, consistent consumption from domestic textile manufacturers prevented significant inventory build-up. Seasonal export inquiries and resilient procurement from apparel applications also provided mild support, keeping prices slightly firmer this quarter.

Latest developments in the Polyester (POY) Industry:

• September 2025: Indorama Ventures announced its “deja™ Bio” portfolio, offering bio-based specialty polymer fibers and yarns with certified, low-carbon supply chains (using mass balance / renewable feedstocks). These bio-PET offerings are chemically identical to conventional fossil-based PET, enabling brand-owners to reduce Scope 3 emissions while maintaining performance. Earlier in June, Indorama Ventures also entered a strategic distribution agreement with PolySource to deliver high-performance specialty polyesters to advanced applications, expanding their reach into demanding sectors such as electronics, medical, industrial, cosmetics and others.
   
• February 2024: TCG Group committed INR 1,250 crore to a capacity expansion project for Garden Silk Mills Private Limited (GSMPL) in Gujarat. The investment focuses on enhancing production of fully drawn yarn (FDY) and other specialty yarns. TCG, having acquired GSMPL two years earlier, aims to strengthen its polyester downstream operations including the PTA-Polyester value chain. The expansion encompasses a new plant with capacity of 272 tons per day, using advanced Oerlikon Barmag Wings+ machines.

Product Description

Polyester Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) is a synthetic filament yarn produced by the polymerization and melt-spinning of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) chips. It is characterized by medium orientation and moderate tenacity, making it a semi-finished product primarily used for further processing into draw textured yarn (DTY). POY offers good tensile properties, low shrinkage, and adaptability in various finishing processes. It is available in different lusters such as semi-dull, bright, and trilobal. Polyester (POY) is extensively used in the textile industry for producing fabrics for garments, upholstery, and home furnishings. Its versatility also extends into industrial applications, where it is used in ropes, tents, and conveyor belts. The ability to blend with natural and other synthetic fibers enhances its market potential across multiple industries.
