Polyester Yarn Prices at 3-Year Low: Cost Advantage for Turkish Manufacturers
Due to stabilizing oil prices and surplus polyester capacity in China, POY and DTY yarn prices dropped to 3-year lows in June 2026, generating up to a 15% raw material cost advantage for Turkish curtain and upholstery makers.
Oversupply in the global polyester market and Brent crude hovering around $70 per barrel continue to push polyester yarn (POY/DTY) prices downward. As of June 2026, the price per ton for DTY settled into the $950-$980 range.
This trend has created a major cost advantage, particularly for Turkish manufacturers heavily reliant on polyester yarns for roller blinds, blackout fabrics, and upholstery velvet. The decline in manufacturing expenses provides greater pricing flexibility when competing against Far Eastern rivals (Vietnam and India) in international markets. Industry analysts emphasize that prices are expected to remain at these subdued levels through the final quarter of 2026, making this an optimal window for securing spot inventory.
