 In the year 2020, polyester upstream sectors again greet a period of fast expansion, accompanied by a sudden strike from COVID-19, which sent demand to plummet. Besides, volatile crude oil, QE, imbalanced supply and demand are also putting the market in deep waters.

 However, thanks to increased integration of polyester chain, as well as varied financing tools such as futures, enterprises were less vulnerable to above mentioned risks, and performed better than expected during the first half of 2020.

 In the fallout of coronavirus pandemic, there are still quite a few uncertainties ahead: What changes will the US elevation bring to world economy? How long will the high feedstock inventory persist? In inflations, where will textile market go? What will paraxylene, BGPET and PSF futures bring to us?

Supported by Polyester Committee of China Chemical Fibers Association and China National Chemical Fiber Corp., China Chemical & Fiber Economic Information Network (CCFEI) and Tecnon OrbiChem joint again to hold the 17th China International Polyester & Intermediates Forum. We’ll, as we did in each events in the past, invite relevant government institutions, industry associations, major feedstock suppliers, polyester producers and traders, upstream and downstream, home and abroad, to share their ideas and valuable info about polyester chain, take review of market highlights and economic performance in H1 2020, while look into opportunities and challenges in second half of the year, in the form of Live Streaming, which will be the first time for the event.
