Volume Resin Prices Keep Rising
Constrained supplies, higher feedstock costs, and continued strong demand fuel ongoing price hikes.
Prices Up for Major Volume Resins
Blame global plant outages leading to tighter feedstock and resin supplies and higher feedstock costs. Add in some ‘catch-up’ resin demand.
Rising Prices for PE, PVC; Others Flat to Down
A reversal of the rising price curve for PP, PS, PET.
Prices Up for Nearly All Major Volume Resins--For Now
As the third quarter was coming to an end, prices of nearly all volume resins were higher or heading that way. But flat or even lower prices are seen ahead.
Prices Up for All Commodity Resins
Factors include strong domestic and/or export demand, tighter supplier inventories, and higher feedstock costs resulting from production outages.
Commodity Resin Prices Rebound
Resurgence in exports, stronger domestic demand, higher feedstock costs push prices back up for PE, PP, PS, PVC—but not PET.
Prices of Volume Resins Bottom Out
Increased exports, higher prices for feedstocks, and a slow ramp-up of production of industrial and durable goods are projected to stabilize resin prices and put upward pressure on PE and possibly PVC.
Moving Toward Third Quarter, Prices of All Volume Commodity Resins Appear to Have Bottomed Out
The resurgence in exports along with higher feedstock prices place upward pressure on PE and possibly PVC.
Commodity Resin Prices Plunge in Second Quarter
Weak demand for industrial and durable goods, along with globally lower feedstock prices outweigh strong demand for packaging, medical products.
Price of PP First to Plunge; PE, PS, PVC, PET Are Next
Coronavirus fallout: Slowing demand, higher resin inventories, low global material prices, plus labor and transportation challenges.
Prices of Volume Resins Flat to Down
Key drivers for the trajectory of resin prices include supply outpacing demand, lower feedstock costs, and uncertainty about coronavirus effects.
Flat to Higher Pricing for Polyolefins, PS, PVC and PET
The trajectory for resin pricing going into the second quarter is unsettled by a virus outbreak.
Prices Bottom Out for PE & PP? Up for PS, Flat-to-Down for PVC & PET
Drivers include parity with global prices, ample supplies and higher raw material costs in some instances.
Prices for Polyolefins, PS, PVC and PET Trending Flat to Higher
Going into second quarter, the resin pricing trajectory is unsettled by a virus outbreak.
PS Prices Rise While Others Sink
Parity with global prices, higher feedstock costs, and ample supplies are among the drivers.
Volume Resin Prices Flat or Down
Feedstock costs are lower, supply is outpacing demand, and overall global demand has slowed.
Volume Resin Prices Down-to-Flat Going into First Quarter of 2020
Prices of polyolefins, PS, PVC could bottom out; PET, nylon 6 could drop further while flat to modestly down trajectory projected for ABS, PC, and nylon 66.
2019 Ends with Lower Prices for Commodity Resins
Global demand slowdown and oversupply end the year with a buyers’ market.
Lower Prices for Five Volume Commodity Resins
Global demand slowdown and in some cases oversupply are ending the year with a buyers’ market.
Downward Pricing Pressure for Commodity Resins this Quarter
Slowed demand, sufficient supplies, lower global prices could serve to push down prices of most commodity resins.
Prices for Nearly All Volume Resins Down
Flat pricing projected in fourth quarter for volume resins.
