price trend
The PA6 market has stabilized after a slight increase in the past week (January 31st to February 6th, 2026). On February 6th, the benchmark price of PA6 in Shengyi Society has risen to 10666.67 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.95% compared to the beginning of the week (January 31st, 10566.67 yuan/ton). The market trading atmosphere has turned flat as the Spring Festival approaches, and the overall price of PA6 remains strong due to cost support. The current PA6 price is still at a low level in nearly five years, down about 16% from the same period last year, and the overall profit pressure in the industry has not been fundamentally relieved.
influencing factors
In terms of cost:
This week, there has been an increase in maintenance at the caprolactam factory, leading to a tightening of market supply and a slight increase in prices. The benchmark price of caprolactam slightly increased from 9573.33 yuan/ton on January 31 to 9656.67 yuan/ton on February 6, with a weekly increase of 0.87%. The strengthening of the cost side provides a foundation for the price recovery of PA6.
Supply side:
This week, the main PA6 factory equipment has been operating relatively stably, but some factories have increased maintenance, delayed restart of equipment, and slightly tightened market supply, which has to some extent supported the manufacturer’s attitude of raising prices.
In terms of demand:
Affected by the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, downstream end users of PA6 are gradually taking a break this week, resulting in a significant reduction in procurement demand and entering the seasonal off-season. Therefore, we maintain a cautious attitude towards PA6 procurement and mostly stock up on demand.
Market forecast:
In the short term, the PA6 market price is expected to maintain a high and strong consolidation trend. Follow up on the fluctuations in crude oil and pure benzene prices, as well as the pace of upstream and downstream resumption of work.
