The Paraxylene Price Trend in the second quarter of 2025 reflected the challenges faced by both global petrochemical markets and downstream industries that rely heavily on polyester production. Paraxylene (PX) is an important raw material mainly used to produce purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which are essential for making polyester fibers, packaging materials, and bottles. Because of this, its pricing is closely tied to the performance of the textile, apparel, and packaging sectors.
