Polyester Mesh Maintains Strong Price Advantage Amid Raw Material Cost Differences
2025-09-26
In the past week, fluctuations in raw material prices within the textile industry have once again captured significant attention. The weekly report from the China Chemical Fiber Information Center, covering the period from SEP 20 to SEP 26, 2025, highlights a notable disparity in costs among the three primary raw materials used for mesh fabrics: polyester, nylon, and spandex. This variance in pricing directly influences the overall production costs associated with various types of mesh fabrics.
1. Current Raw Material Prices (as of SEP 26, 2025)
Polyester (PET chips): ~ 6,450 RMB/ton
Nylon (PA6 chips):~ 15,200 RMB/ton
Spandex (40D):~ 31,500 RMB/ton
These figures show that the price of nylon is more than double that of polyester, while spandex is nearly five times higher than polyester.
2. Direct Impact on Mesh Fabric Costs
Since polyester mesh is predominantly made from 100% polyester fiber, its raw material cost advantage is significant. In large-scale production, this translates into lower unit costs, which benefits international buyers by ensuring price competitiveness without compromising durability or breathability.
3. Polyester Mesh: The Practical Choice for the Footwear Industry
Given its stable supply, cost efficiency, and performance reliability, polyester mesh remains the mainstream material in the global footwear manufacturing industry. Compared with nylon mesh and spandex-blended fabrics, polyester mesh can achieve a better balance of functionality and affordability, making it especially favored by sports shoe, casual shoe, and children’s shoe manufacturers.
4. Our Company’s Position
As a professional mesh fabric producer and exporter, Jinjiang Zhongzhi Shoes Material Trade Co., Ltd focuses primarily on 100% polyester mesh fabric. The continued price advantage of polyester allows us to offer stable, cost-effective, and high-quality mesh fabrics to customers worldwide.
In summary: With the widening cost gap between polyester, nylon, and spandex, polyester mesh stands out as the most cost-effective solution in the global footwear supply chain. This advantage will further strengthen its market position in the coming months.
