Polymer Prices Standard Thermoplastics

POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend December 2020: Prices climb on a broad front / Producers win significant margin gains / Supply bottlenecks with all materials / No respite expected in the short term
14.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene November 2020: Producers have little success with calls for increases / Lack of imports / First signs of stockpiling in some segments / Start of December slowdown makes margin improvements unlikely
03.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene November 2020: Homo grades flat after C3 rollover / Low copo prices pulled up slightly / Outages begin to bite / Minor hikes in December
03.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics November 2020: Price increases across the board / Heavy premiums on undersupplied ABS market / PS now also in short supply / Significant hikes in December
03.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
PVC November 2020: Upward price trend continues / Market situation still tight / Supply bottlenecks gradually easing up / Price dynamic expected to lose momentum in December
02.12.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend November 2020: Polyolefins see widespread rollover / Significant increases for styrenics and PVC / Availability frequently limited, PVC tight / Market expected to remain largely stable
13.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene October 2020: Most price reductions match monomer cost decline / Demand solid in some areas but often below expectations / Rollover likely in November
04.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene October 2020: Most prices giving way slightly in the wake of C3 reduction / Yet PP-H injection moulding and some compounds in rollover / Hardly any change expected for November
04.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics October 2020: Divergent price trends / Slight declines for PS and EPS, ABS somewhat firmer / Supply situation also tightening for PS and EPS / Premiums in October
04.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
PVC October 2020: Price boom continuing / Plant outages keep supply short / Demand boosted by seasonal effects / Suppliers already announcing further increases for November
03.11.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend October 2020: Prices for PE film grades fall slightly / PP outages unable to hold up prices / PVC continues upward trend / Demand generally poor for the time of year / Outlook points to stability
13.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene September 2020: Most prices remain unchanged / Increased exports have a consolidating effect / Demand generally normal for the time of year / Rollover to be expected in October
05.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene September 2020: Notations move sideways with C3 costs / Amid soft demand outages have little impact / Little change likely in November
05.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics September 2020: Prices mostly in weak rollover / Slightly higher discounts for HIPS films / ABS injection moulding bucks the trend / Declining SM reference leads to price pressure in October
05.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
PVC September 2020: Prices continue upward trend helped by the tight supply situation / Demand lively / Further increases likely in October
02.10.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend September 2020: No change with polyolefin prices / Demand below expectations / PVC producers benefit from tight availability / Weak rollover with PS and EPS
14.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene August 2020: Producers push through maximum C2 cost hike / Converters reject margin increase / Demand somewhat too low for time of year / At best minor upward trend in September
03.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene August 2020: Hikes remain below C3 rise / Outages have little impact due to soft demand / Notations likely stable in September
03.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics August 2020: Rollovers predominate for PS and EPS / Slight premiums on ABS / Price corrections in both directions / Demand generally weak / Hardly any change seen for September
03.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
PVC August 2020: Price rise continues / Ethylene price hikes and poor availability drive costs / Brisk demand despite holiday period / Climbs expected again in September
02.09.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Standard thermoplastics trend August 2020: Producers seldom manage to improve margins / Demand still below expectations / Imports and low-priced spot volumes virtually disappear from the market
14.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polyethylene July 2020: Price hikes match rise in costs / Negotiating fronts harden / Some large customers think the agreed annual volumes will not be achieved / Plastics tax creates uncertainty
05.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Polypropylene July 2020: Most of the feedstock hike passed on / Producers rarely improve margins / Auto horizon slightly brighter / Increases unlikely in August
05.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES
Styrenics July 2020: Hikes mostly remain below the cost transfer / Demand is much reduced / Maintenance plans could lead to allocations / Slight price increases in August
05.08.2020
POLYMER PRICES
PVC July 2020: Ethylene hike provides a lift / Strong demand for profiles plus production cutbacks triggers small supply shortages / Additional volumes not generally available
