The spot market’s importance

The pricing of feedstocks, PE and PP spot material in Europe is becoming increasingly important for the market. Especially in the trade of small and medium quantities of European 1A-qualities an information gap becomes more and more obvious.

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 of all feedstocks and polymers with weekly reference prices and review of the last 4 weeks
• Detail page for each polymer with information on change, range of precursor price, price trend, overview chart, etc.
• Chart generator enabling price comparisons
• Up-to-date market news from PIE – Plastics Information Europe
