The spot market’s importance

With the price trend for European PE and PP spot material becoming increasingly important to the market in general, the lack of information on the trade in small- and medium-sized volumes of top-notch European material has become ever more apparent.

The market realities tend to be obscured by existing international price service providers, whose reporting is limited to bulk volumes paid for by large producers, making it difficult to assess the real value of smaller lots. To shine some light into this darkness, PIE has extended its monthly contract reporting by a new weekly service highlighting the spot market developments of the most important plastic types.

What type of information is available?

• Price table containing all plastic types
• Detail pages for every plastic type with information on changes, range, feedstock notation, price trend, charts, etc. 
• Chart generator enabling price comparisons
• Table including weekly reference prices
• Up-to-date market news from PIE – Plastics Information Europe
