Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre (R-PSF) Price Trend Q3 2025

During Q3 2025, the Recycled Polyester Fibre price trend showed a softening pattern, with global values slipping by 2–3% as weaker buying momentum, easing bottle-flake costs, and selective destocking reduced support. Through September 2025, the market reflected stable yet cautious demand, while varying freight movements across regions continued shaping landed cost dynamics and price divergence.

China

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Export prices FOB Shanghai, China, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

R-PSF prices in China fell by 4–5% in Q3 2025 as lower flake availability costs and restrained overseas buying pressured sentiment. Production remained steady, but subdued export inquiries limited price recovery. In September 2025, prices decreased to USD 750–790/MT, reflecting softer global consumption and competitive offers across Asia.

Bangladesh

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Chittagong, Bangladesh, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Bangladesh experienced a 1–2% quarterly decline, with the Recycled Polyester Fibre price trend weighed down by slower apparel-sector offtake. A freight hike raised landed costs, keeping the price dip relatively shallow. In September 2025, sentiment stayed cautious as buyers avoided overstocking amid volatile logistics.

Indonesia

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Jakarta, Indonesia, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Indonesia saw a sharper 5–6% fall as a freight decrease amplified the impact of softer Chinese FOB values. Competitive regional supply and cost-efficient sourcing encouraged bargaining, keeping prices under downward pressure. By September 2025, import values slid further, mirroring weak procurement discipline.

Thailand

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Bangkok, Thailand, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Thailand posted a 3–4% dip in Q3 2025, with a slight freight hike to stable rates moderating the decline. Slower domestic fabric conversion and selective buying tightened liquidity. In September 2025, prices tracked the gradual retreat in Asian offers while demand stayed steady but unspectacular.

Japan

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Tokyo, Japan, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Japan registered a mild 1–2% increase even as regional FOB values softened. A huge freight hike lifted landed costs enough to flip the underlying decline into a modest rise. Through September 2025, import prices stayed elevated as buyers absorbed higher logistics charges.

South Korea

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Busan, South Korea, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

South Korea remained stable across Q3 2025. A noticeable freight hike offset the downward pull from lower Chinese values, keeping transaction levels flat. By September 2025, consistent industrial demand and moderate restocking-maintained equilibrium in pricing.

Mexico

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Manzanillo, Mexico, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Mexico observed a 4–5% decrease, with stable freight allowing global R-PSF softness to pass directly into local prices. Domestic converters kept procurement flexible, reflecting soft North American textile demand. September 2025 prices remained under pressure as suppliers competed for volume.

India

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Domestic prices Ex Morbi, India, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

India recorded a 2–3% quarterly fall as subdued spinning demand and weaker recycled flake values shaped the Recycled Polyester Fibre price trend. In September 2025, prices decreased to USD 910–930/MT, reflecting cautious mill buying and manageable inventories.

India

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Domestic prices Ex Morbi, India, Grade- Thickness 3D/Length 76 mm Semi Dull White.

The 3D grade mirrored the same 2–3% decrease, with September 2025 prices also easing to USD 910–930/MT. Demand from stuffing, wadding, and nonwoven users stayed adequate but not strong enough to counter broader market softness.

India

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Export prices FOB Nhava Sheva, India, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White

Export values slipped 2% in Q3 2025 as muted global inquiries and softer recycled feedstock pulled prices lower. In September 2025, prices moved down to USD 930–950/MT, reflecting competitive offers to sustain order flow.

Bangladesh

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Chittagong, Bangladesh, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Bangladesh saw a 2–3% decrease for India-origin R-PSF in Q3 2025, as softer Indian FOB values moved through the supply chain. A slight dip in freight widened the decline in landed costs, keeping buying interest steady but cautious. Through September 2025, the Recycled Polyester Fibre price trend reflected subdued demand and competitive Indian offers that encouraged selective procurement.

Netherlands

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Rotterdam, Netherlands, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Values fell 4–5% in Q3 2025 as a considerable freight dip deepened the correction. European converters continued conservative buying amid slow nonwoven and apparel demand. September 2025 pricing reflected sustained oversupply and reduced landed costs.

Belgium

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Antwerp, Belgium, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Belgium recorded a 2–3% quarterly decrease, cushioned by stable freight conditions. The market showed limited momentum, with September 2025 transactions reflecting the broader European slowdown.

Turkey

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Mersin, Turkey, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Turkey followed with a 2–3% decline as stable freight allowed regional softness to filter through. Converters maintained reserved buying as currency concerns and slow textile orders persisted into September 2025.

Spain

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre Import prices CIF Algeciras, Spain, Grade- Thickness 1.4D/Length 38 mm Semi Dull White.

Spain reported a 4–5% decline, accelerated by a considerable freight dip that pulled landed costs further down. September 2025 saw weak procurement, as buyers waited for market stabilization amid abundant supply.

Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre (R-PSF) Price Trend Analysis: Q2 2025

Global:

According to PriceWatch, in Q2 2025 China’s R-PSF FOB prices declined by around 5% as softer waste-bottle and flake values reduced upstream cost pressure on producers. Logistics markets also eased, with lower container demand and improved vessel availability pushing freight rates downward. Downstream sectors such as nonwovens and home textiles continued to operate with slow order cycles, prompting suppliers to offer competitive pricing to sustain movement. Export sentiment stayed subdued, with cautious procurement and restrained restocking limiting market traction.

India:

According to PriceWatch, in Q2 2025 Indian R-PSF export prices decreased by 2–3%, reflecting weaker global demand and a drop in recycled flake costs that reduced overall production pressure. A relatively firm rupee helped moderate imported input expenses, while shipping rates eased in line with global freight softening. Domestic buying remained muted as yarn makers trimmed inventories ahead of the monsoon period. Overall price direction shows how lower feedstock costs, currency stability and weak end-use momentum combined to pull Indian R-PSF prices lower.

Global:

In Q1 2025 China’s R-PSF FOB price moved slightly lower, settling at around USD 880 per metric ton. Macro-economic headwinds continued to weigh on export activity, particularly in Europe and Southeast Asia, keeping transactional volumes modest. Producers maintained conservative operating rates to balance inventories, while increased competition among suppliers pressured margins. Recycled flake and PET scrap values stayed relatively stable, offering limited cost support and contributing to the mild downward bias in pricing.

India:

In Q1 2025 Indian R-PSF export prices increased to around USD 1000 per metric ton. Improved orders from regional textile and nonwoven buyers helped support sentiment, while steady domestic sourcing of recycled flakes created a firmer cost base. Manufacturers focused on efficiency and balanced production planning as they navigated variable scrap availability and stable energy costs. Government-linked sustainability incentives and broadening demand for recycled inputs added some resilience, helping Indian R-PSF prices trend upward during the quarter.
