China BOPET film prices edge up on higher raw material costs

Chinese BOPET film prices rose by USD 15 (CNY 100) a tonne in the week to 29 October 2026 on higher feedstock costs, with 12 micron printing film the reference grade. Supply for the following week is forecast at 87,000 tonnes, unchanged. Downstream demand remains weak and peak-season orders have fallen short of expectations.

Why this mattersA modest cost-driven uptick in a commodity film grade signals thin pricing power as peak-season demand underdelivers for converters.
