What is the foreign trade market for PP spunbond nonwoven fabric from October to December 2026?

The foreign trade market of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric from October to December 2026 will show the characteristics of "strong peak season followed by stability, prominent structural increment, and strong overall export resilience", and will not experience significant unilateral fluctuations. The core trend can be clearly defined from the following dimensions:

1、 Price and Quantity Core Trends

• During the peak season in October, benefiting from the traditional shipping window of Jin Jiu Yin 10 and the concentrated release of emergency orders in the Middle East, the mainstream FOB price for conventional SS products remained at 1450-1650 US dollars/ton, with export volume increasing by 10% -15% compared to September. The premium for functional antibacterial and UV resistant medical grade products can reach more than 20%.
• Christmas delivery period from November to December: Raw material prices gradually fall, coupled with the concentrated delivery of previous orders, the quotation slightly drops by about 5%, maintaining a high consolidation overall. At the end of the year, overseas customers' demand for replenishment at the end of the year supports high export volume, and the overall export volume in the fourth quarter increased by 8% -12% year-on-year.

2、 Core structural incremental market

• Middle East region: Due to the continued impact of geopolitical conflicts, the demand for medical protective and placement engineering non-woven fabrics has surged by more than 30%. Local production capacity is insufficient, and a large number of orders are turning to China for procurement, making it the most core incremental market in the fourth quarter.
• In the European region, the rise in energy costs has pushed up local non-woven fabric prices. The export share of high-performance functional products from China to Europe is expected to increase by 10% -15%, with the most significant increase in high-end products such as sanitary materials and home furnishings.
• Near ocean Southeast Asian market: The increase in sea freight rates is much lower than that of ocean routes, coupled with the continuous release of local infrastructure and demand for sanitary materials, the export stability is the strongest, and it is the basic market for exports in the fourth quarter.

3、 Core risk variables

• Upward driving force: With the unexpected escalation of the Iran conflict and the surge in oil prices driving up raw material costs, coupled with the outbreak of emergency orders in the Middle East, export quotations may experience a temporary surge.
• Downward risk: Inflation in Europe and the United States suppresses demand for low-end civilian products, shipping costs rise beyond expectations, squeezing profits from low margin conventional orders, and some ultra-low end orders are shifting to Southeast Asia.
