POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics May 2021: Prices generally continue to rise irrespective of the drop in feedstock costs / Occasional signs of a plateau / High prices and weakness in automotive industry slow down business	07.06.2021
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics April 2021: More triple-digit hikes as demand remains vibrant / Many shops struggle to secure material / Another twist of the price screw inevitable	06.05.2021
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics March 2021: Shortage of cable, pipe and headlamps for end-users / Major triple-digit increases / Producers unable to meet demand / US facilities provide glimmer of hope	08.04.2021
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics February 2021: Prices continue to rise on a broad front / Plant stoppages and insufficient imports limit availability / Further price hikes likely in March	04.03.2021
POLYMER PRICES Engineering thermoplastics January 2021: Further price increases for all types / Higher feedstock costs partly to blame / Supply situation worsens again / Few prospects for improvement soon	04.02.2021
