According to the China Customs, uncombed or uncarded PSF exports of China were 156.6kt in Nov, 2025, marking a 4.1% month-on-month increase and a 29.1% year-on-year surge. Imports were 5.2kt, a fall of 36.5% year-on-year, but up 46.8% month-on-month.

In the first eleven months of 2025, cumulative exports hit around 1.55 million tons, up 29.5% from the same period in 2024 and setting a new historical record.

In terms of the top 10 export destinations during Jan and Nov 2025, Vietnam maintained the largest export markets, with a volume of 289,458 tons, up about 15.7% from the same period of 2024, with a proportion of 18.6%. Pakistan ranked second, with a volume of 197,399 tons, up 56.1% year on year, and its proportion reached 12.7%. Brazil took the third place, seeing a yearly growth of 60.8%. Exports to Russia shifted to increase year on year, with a growth rate of 19.1%.

PSF exports have seen large growth in 2025, driven primarily by low prices, alongside the upward shift in textile exports and the squeeze of other fiber market shares. In 2026, Chinese PSF capacity will keep expanding. Factories will continue to explore overseas markets to alleviate domestic overcapacity pressure and PSF exports will keep growing. However, due to the substantial exports in 2025 leading to saturation in some regions, the growth rate of PSF exports is expected to be constrained.
