POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in May 2009: Prices start to firm / ABS and PP up slightly / Other polymers capped / Minor price wars at lower end / Demand shows signs of life / Outlook mainly stable
05.06.2009
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in April 2009: A mixed picture / ABS firmer again / PC, PA 6 and PP compounds mainly stable / POM, PBT and PMMA down / PA 6.6 falls sharply / Upswing in China brings hope of stabilisation
07.05.2009
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in March 2009: PP compounds firmer / ABS bottoms out / PC, PA, PBT, POM and PMMA down slightly / Demand weak / Little stimulus expected in Q2 / Will producers take back autumn price increases?
06.04.2009
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in February 2009: PP bottoms out / ABS and PC in aftershock / PA begins to slide / PBT, POM and PMMA also down / Automotive crisis dominates / Little light on the horizon for March
05.03.2009
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in January 2009: ABS and PP compounds in free fall / PC and POM plummet by over EUR 100 t/y / Resistance for PA and PBT / PMMA still firm / Slack demand / Further decline likely
05.02.2009
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in December 2008: Downswing rolls over into this market, too / Notations for almost all polymers lower / Only PMMA holds up / More price wars expected in Q1
07.01.2009

06.08.2008
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in June 2008: Q2 ends on a stable footing / Absence of imports fuels ABS / Demand weakness in southern Europe lengthens supplies in the north / Higher feedstocks propel PA, PBT and POM
04.07.2008
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in May 2008: Battle for market share puts downward pressure on notations / Strong demand despite short production month / Outlook for end of Q2 mostly stable / Cost explosion could fuel polymer hikes in Q3
05.06.2008
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering Thermoplastics in April 2008: Q2 starts with minor corrections / ABS, PA and POM move up / PMMA and PP stable / PC down slightly, PBT loses more / Renewed calls for increases / PP under pressure
07.05.2008
POLYMER PRICES
Engineering thermoplastics at the end of March 2008: Prices mostly stable as Q1 ends / Only minimal movements in PC, PA, PBT and POM / Producers try for hikes, despite declines in feedstock costs
