These easy tips have saved me time (I hope they’ll save you some too!): ## Search News, Not Web Search current news stories (not the general web) for terms like: - polyester price increase - nylon price increase - cotton yarn price This returns current events news and published price increases and is best done weekly or even daily. ## Subscribe to a Paid Service Most paid services require a yearly subscription fee for full access. This can range from a few hundred dollars per year to $10,000 or more, depending on the depth and scale of the reporting. **EmergingTextiles.com**: Focuses on pricing trends primarily for China, India and Pakistan. Includes historical and current pricing information on Fiber and Yarn markets as well as daily and weekly summaries. **Chemical Data**: Information on feedstock chemicals is very comprehensive and technical, and is typically more expensive. This is one reputable source, with monthly reporting starting at about $9,600 per year. This can be useful for volume contract pricing where selling prices are tied to a raw material index. I’m interested to hear how others stay on top of changing market prices. What other sources do you refer to? ### Share This Post - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [*previous* Previous Post](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/article/high-speed-spiral-braider-hose-reinforcement) [Next Post *next*](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/article/top-tips-for-trouble-free-bag-sewing) ### AUTHOR ![Jay Todd](https://www.servicethread.com/hubfs/Servicethread/ServiceThread_JayTodd.jpg) ## Jay Todd CEO [Contact & Bio](https://www.servicethread.com/company/bio/jay-todd) ### POSTS BY TOPIC - [Industrial Yarn (43)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/industrial-yarn) - [Industrial Thread (28)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/industrial-thread) - [Wire and Cable (26)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/wire-and-cable) - [Hose Reinforcement (20)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/hose-reinforcement) - [Industrial Sewing (16)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/industrial-sewing) - [Flat Web & Web Slings (15)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/flat-web-web-slings) - [Fabrics & Tarps (14)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/fabrics-tarps) - [Polyester (14)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/polyester) - [Specifications (13)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/topic/specifications) ### CONTRIBUTORS - [Eric Shippee (39)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/eric-shippee) - [Steve Zande (35)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/steve-zande) - [Service Thread (24)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/service-thread) - [Dane Hatcher (20)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/dane-hatcher) - [Jay Todd (19)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/jay-todd) - [Torry Losch (4)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/torry-losch) - [Neal Fournier (3)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/neal-fournier) - [Ken Massie (2)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/ken-massie) - [Instron, Guest Contributor (1)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/instron-guest-contributor) - [Ryne Bullock (1)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/ryne-bullock) - [Saurer, Guest Contributor (1)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/saurer-guest-contributor) - [Christine Domer (1)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/christine-domer) - [Chip Butler (1)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/chip-butler) - [Ascend Performance Materials, Guest Contributor (1)](https://www.servicethread.com/blog/author/ascend-performance-materials-guest-contributor) ### GET OUR RSS FEED - [*rss* RSS 2.0](https://servicethread.hs-sites.com/blog/rss.xml) Service Thread designs, develops and delivers engineered yarns and sewing threads specifically to solve product and processing problems and add value through longer running times or faster processing speeds.
