Q2 2025:
North American polyester (FDY) prices were mostly stable to slightly up through Q2 2025. Importers in the US and Canada began stocking ahead of possible new tariffs on Chinese textile imports. That restocking lifted FDY buying and helped stabilize prices. However, downstream demand from textiles and apparel remained modest as most mills stuck to replenishing rather than expanding inventories. By quarter‑end, North American FDY prices were slightly changed than Q1 levels, sitting in a narrow range. Stabilizing feedstock costs and cautious restocking balanced restrained demand, keeping the market firm but unspectacular.
Q1 2025:
North American polyester (FDY) prices saw a slight decrease in Q1 2025, mostly as a result of a confluence of variables such as shifting demand patterns, supply chain interruptions, and worldwide concerns. Due to hoarding caused by the Chinese Lunar New Year and limited output, purchasers expected duties on Chinese imports, which caused prices to rise early in the quarter.

Product Description
Polyester (FDY) refers to fully drawn yarn, a continuous filament yarn produced from polyethylene terephthalate polyester. It belongs to the class of synthetic polyester filament yarns and is supplied fully drawn rather than as partially oriented or textured yarn. The polymer is a polyester built from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid units, with long chain molecules aligned along the filament axis. Commercial yarns are typically bright, semi dull or dull, white to slightly creamy, and are normally sold as flat yarns. The filaments are strong, dimensionally stable, low in shrinkage, and resist stretching under normal textile processing conditions. They are hydrophobic, with low moisture regain, and resist many common chemicals and microbial attack. Industrially the yarn serves the textile, apparel, home furnishing and industrial fabric sectors. In end use it is woven or knitted into apparel fabrics and linings, used in home textiles such as curtains, upholstery and bedding, and consumed in industrial fabrics and sewing threads. It also serves as a feed yarn for further texturing and twisting operations.
