Balanced Dynamics in the European Polyamide 66 Market Amid Sluggish Demand
The European Polyamide 66 market has exhibited a stable demand over the past week, supported by a sufficient supply of the product. This stability in demand reflects a balanced market dynamic, despite fluctuations in the prices of key feedstocks. Notably, Adipic Acid prices have experienced a decline, followed by a stabilization period, while cyclohexane prices have remained largely unchanged due to sluggish demand. These trends in feedstock pricing are indicative of the broader market conditions affecting the Polyamide 66 sector. Covestro Adnoc
Polyamide 66, a crucial polymer used extensively in the automotive and textile industries, has maintained its demand levels despite ongoing challenges in its downstream sectors. The automotive industry, in particular, has faced a period of weakness, with manufacturers reporting a reduction in orders. This downturn can be attributed to a combination of factors, including economic uncertainties and a general slowdown in consumer spending. Similarly, the textile sector has not been immune to these pressures, experiencing subdued demand that has translated into fewer orders for polyamide-based products.
The sufficient supply of Polyamide 66 in the European market has been a key factor in maintaining price stability. Covestro Adnoc
Regulatory Barriers Hamper Investment in Indonesia’s Textile Industry
Indonesia’s textile and textile products industry struggles to attract investment, primarily due to unclear and inconsistent regulations, according to the Indonesian Fibre and Filament Yarn Producers Association (APSyFI).
Challenges and Stalled Investments The sector faces significant hurdles, especially in polyester production lines. APSyFI highlights that investments, including those from China’s Tongkun Group, remain stalled. APSyFI General Chair Redma G. Wirawasta expressed concern over the long-awaited investments in polyester raw materials that have yet to materialize. Covestro Adnoc
Regulatory Certainty Needed Redma emphasized the need for long-term regulatory certainty to ensure the sustainability of businesses within the industry.
Industry Growth Potential Despite these challenges, Indonesia’s minister of industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, has a positive outlook for the domestic textile sector. He projects that the domestic fashion industry will grow at an average rate of 4.26 percent per year until 2029, reaching a market value of $9.6 billion. This sector employs over 1.6 million people, underscoring its significance to the economy. Covestro Adnoc
