China's PSF exports hit record high in H1, 2025

According to the China Customs, uncombed or uncarded PSF exports of China reached 141kt in Jun, 2025, marking an 11.9% month-on-month decline and a 20.5% year-on-year surge.

In the first half month of 2025, cumulative exports hit 809kt, up 29.4% from the same period in 2024 and setting a new historical record.

In terms of the top 10 export destinations in the first half year of 2025, Vietnam maintained the largest export markets, with a volume of 145,922 tons, up about 11.3% from the same period of 2024, with a proportion of 18%. Pakistan ranked the second place, with a volume of 98,832 tons, up 49.6% year on year, and its proportion reached 12.2%. Brazil took the third place, seeing a yearly growth of 72.17%. However, exports to Russia and Indonesia decreased, with a yearly reduction of 15.27% and 11.51% respectively. U.S. tariff negotiations are advancing positively, and China's PSF exports continue to rise. Supported by the upward shift in export trends and competitive pricing, China's direct-spun PSF is poised to maintain strong influence in the international market going forward-helping ease pressure on the Chinese demand market.

The tariff situation sees significant positive developments in the second quarter, with no impact on PSF exports. Currently, export markets continue to show sustained growth. However, as direct-spun PSF exports remain at high levels in the second half of last year, the growth rate in the second half of this year is expected to slow compared to the first half.
