New Materials Price Trend Report – April 19, 2026

## New Materials Price Trend Daily Report – April 19, 2026

**Price Overview**

| Material | Current Price Range | Weekly Change | Trend |
|———-|———————|—————|——-|
| PTFE Resin | $6,500-6,800/MT | 0% | Stable |
| PEEK Resin (Domestic) | $70-100/kg | +1% | Slight Rise |
| Carbon Fiber (3K) | $30/kg | +3.07% | Upward |
| PI Film | $1.1-1.4/sqm | -2% | Slight Decline |
| Special Ceramic Materials | Negotiable | 0% | Stable |

**Key Price Movements**

– **Carbon Fiber: +3.07%** — Q1 2026 average price increased compared to same period last year. Acrylonitrile prices surged, providing strong cost support. Demand growth in wind turbine blades, aerospace, high-pressure hydrogen storage, and low-altitude economy sectors remains robust. High-end T800+ grades continue in tight supply.
– **PI Film: -2%** — Some specifications seeing demand slowdown in electronics sector. Weak consumer electronics end-market leading to reduced purchasing volumes.
– **PEEK Resin: +1%** — Stable demand from medical devices and aerospace sectors. Import material prices rising slightly driving domestic price increases.

**Impact Analysis**

– **Procurement Cost Impact**: Carbon fiber cost pressure continues to increase. Recommend locking prices for long-term projects in wind turbine blades and hydrogen storage. PTFE and special ceramic costs remain stable; normal procurement rhythm can be maintained.
– **Supply Chain Impact**: High-end carbon fiber grades (T800+) supply tightness continues; procurement lead time needs to be extended. PEEK resin supply is relatively adequate, but high-end medical-grade products require attention to supplier inventory levels.

**Recommendations**

– **Recommended to Lock Prices**: Carbon fiber (especially T700 and above grades). Expect continued upward pressure in Q2; recommend Q2 stocking.
– **Recommended to Monitor**: PI film. Recent price slight decline with weak end-demand; can wait for better buying opportunities. Crude oil prices volatile; monitor transmission to fluorochemical supply chain.
– **Maintain Normal Procurement**: PTFE resin, special ceramic materials. No significant price volatility risk in short term.

**Market Background**

International crude oil prices showed significant volatility this week (WTI: $83.85-93.38/bbl, Brent: $90.38-98.17/bbl), with notable decline on April 17-18. Acrylonitrile prices remain elevated, supporting carbon fiber costs. Global trade environment uncertainty increasing. New energy and low-altitude economy emerging sectors maintain strong demand.
