On May 13, 2026, the domestic textile and chemical fiber raw material market has stopped falling and stabilized. The slight correction in the early stage has temporarily come to an end. The quotations of all mainstream polyester categories have returned to a stable range. The market wait-and-see mood has eased, and the replenishment rhythm of upstream and downstream companies has become more rational.
The current benchmark quotation in the polyester staple fiber market is stable at 8,204 yuan/ton, and the reference price of polyester DTY is 9,812.50 yuan/ton. The overall fluctuation range has narrowed, the supply and demand pattern has gradually become balanced, factory shipments are smooth, and downstream weaving is purchasing on demand. There is no centralized stockpiling or large sales. From the cost side, the trend of crude oil and chemical raw materials is stable, providing solid support for the chemical fiber market, and the short-term market is likely to maintain a sideways shock pattern.
Internationally, USDA recently released the global lint supply and demand forecast data for 2026/27. The estimated annual output is 13.3 million bales, a decrease of 600,000 bales from the previous year, and the ending inventory fell to 3.9 million bales. Reduced output and shrinking inventories mean that the global cotton supply and demand pattern is becoming tighter, which will continue to benefit from the strengthening of lint prices in the medium and long term. It will also be transmitted from top to bottom to the cotton yarn, blended yarn and knitted fabrics industry chain, and the subsequent upward trend in raw material costs is expected to further heat up.
