Predict the market situation of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric from September to December 2026

Based on the market situation, geopolitical conflicts, and peak season trends of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric from July to September 2026, the domestic PP spunbond nonwoven fabric market is expected to show a stable, moderate, and slightly upward trend with significant structural differentiation from September to December 2026. The specific market forecast is as follows:

1、 Price trend prediction

1.In the traditional peak season stage of September, supported by downstream centralized replenishment demand, the mainstream SS/SSS regular prices will slightly increase by 200-500 yuan/ton compared to August, and the mainstream transaction range in core production areas will be moved up to 11000-11600 yuan/ton, without a significant unilateral surge.

2.From October to December, as the peak season demand gradually releases, prices will enter a high consolidation stage. If upstream international crude oil prices fluctuate significantly due to geopolitical conflicts, the rise in PP raw material costs will further support non-woven fabric prices, and the price center in the fourth quarter of the year will be significantly higher than the level in the first half of the year.

3. The price increase of functional products (antibacterial, UV resistant, etc.) will be higher than that of regular products, and the premium space of high-end customized categories will further expand.

2、 Prediction of supply and demand pattern

1. Demand side: In September, the demand for agricultural autumn plowing cold proof fabrics, engineering geotextiles, and sanitary materials will be released at the end of the year. The peak export season for overseas Christmas and year-end orders will arrive in November and December, and the overall demand resilience is strong. The proportion of orders for functional products will increase by more than 15% year-on-year.

2. Supply side: The overall operating rate of the industry will remain within a reasonable range of around 40%, the pace of releasing new production capacity will be smooth, and there will be no serious oversupply. Spot inventory will be maintained in a healthy and depleted state.

3、 Core risk variables

1. Upward driving force: The unexpected escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East has pushed up crude oil prices, and downstream demand has exploded beyond expectations, which will further expand price increases.

2. Downward risk: If downstream terminal demand does not recover as expected and new production capacity is concentrated, prices may end their upward trend early and return to stability.

Note: The above forecast is based on publicly available industry data as of September 4, 2026. The market may adjust in the future due to geopolitical situations and supply and demand dynamics.
