Market commentary
India
Polyolefin sentiment remains firm as raffia and film-grade demand strengthens ahead of the packaging season. Import parity is supported by stronger crude and freight costs, while PET softened slightly on ample domestic supply.
China
Commodity resin markets are mixed. PP is under pressure from new domestic capacity ramp-ups, while LDPE film grades firmed on export demand. Engineering plastics remain soft as consumer electronics output stays cautious.
Europe
Engineering grades continue to firm on constrained caprolactam and adiponitrile supply. Recycled PET and PCR polyolefins hold premiums over virgin equivalents as recycled-content deadlines approach.
North America
Polyethylene markets are balanced with steady packaging demand. Styrenics eased slightly on soft durable goods orders; PVC is stable with construction activity flat quarter over quarter.
Middle East
Producers retain a feedstock cost advantage, keeping export offers competitive into Asia and Africa. Regional PET and LDPE demand is supported by beverage and infrastructure activity.
