During this period (November 28, 2025 - December 4, 2025), the market is mainly affected by pressure on demand. Although it is currently the off-season for recycled bottle collection, under the pressure of weak demand, the purchase prices for raw bottles at packing stations and cleaning factories have mostly been reduced by 50-100 yuan/ton. On the demand side, terminal weaving operations continue to decline, orders are limited, and the sales of recycled fiber factories are sluggish. With a cost-control mindset, raw material purchase prices have mostly been lowered by 50-100 yuan/ton. The market price of recycled PET bottle flakes is fluctuating and tending to weaken.

3. Analysis of Market Influencing Factors

Downstream demand: recycled staple fiber openingIndustry 53.26 % Month-on-month decline of 0.44%. Regeneration hollow starts at 64.38. % The comprehensive operating rate of chemical fiber weaving in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is 65.51%, a month-on-month decrease of 1.42%.

In summary, the overall orders in the weaving market show a characteristic of "scarcity of large orders and fragmentation of small orders," leading to a weak expectation for weaving operations. The sales and production of recycled chemical fiber plants are limited, and under a cost control mindset, there is a strong tendency to pressure prices on raw material procurement. However, due to the cooling weather, the expected recovery of waste bottles continues to narrow, and the prices of raw materials remain firm. The profit margins for cleaning plants are limited, resulting in a reluctance to sell at low prices. Under the pressure of weak demand, it is anticipated that the recycled PET bottle flakes market will operate slightly weaker within a narrow range next week.
