Plastics Pricing Intelligence - Executive Summary Plastics pricing intelligence covers thermoplastics, polyesters, and copolymers, with thermoplastics showing mixed movements in July 2026. HDPE, LLDPE, and PP strengthened in the first half of the month as Middle East disruptions affected petrochemical flows, feedstock costs, and polymer availability, but momentum weakened later as buyers...

Plastics Pricing Intelligence - Executive Summary Plastics pricing intelligence recorded diverse but generally stable conditions during August 2026, with selective strength across thermoplastics. Polyolefins including HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, and PP recovered after early weakness as tighter Asian petrochemical availability and higher crude, naphtha, and ethylene costs increased replacement costs....

The global plastics market continues to navigate an intricate pricing environment. Across major commercial resins, spanning standard commodity thermoplastics, polyesters, and engineering polymers, market participants witness structural tension. Elevated energy costs, firm crude benchmarks, and constrained petrochemical feedstocks apply upward pressure on replacement values. Commodity pricing...

The global plastics market is currently navigating a complex economic landscape characterized by sharp divergence across product categories, shifting regional supply dynamics, and persistent cost pressures. Industrial converters and procurement leadership face an environment where upstream feedstock inflation continually pushes resin production costs higher, yet downstream demand remains...
