Import PE retains strength over PP in SE Asia’s polyolefin markets
by Thi Huong Nguyen
In Southeast Asia’s polyolefin markets, import PE has maintained a stronger position than PP since the post-Lunar New Year uptrend. Supply constraints and seasonal factors have lent PE prices firm support, while ample Chinese-origin PP cargoes have kept PP under pressure. However, both markets continue to face demand headwinds amid economic uncertainty and cautious buying...

Rally falters across Mid-East PP, PE markets in March
by Nada Samir  and Esra Ersöz
Players in the Middle Eastern PP and PE markets have received March offers from regional sellers with rollovers to some increases compared to the latest February levels. Indeed, the annual turnaround season in Q1 and partly extending into Q2 has continued to support price hike targets across the region; nevertheless, the pace of increases appears to have lost some momentum, as tepid derivative markets loomed large, resulting in discounts in deals...

Ramadan lethargy pervades Türkiye's polyolefin markets
by Merve Madakbaşı
Although sellers approached the market with modest increase targets in March, supported by limited import supply, PP and PE offers in Türkiye failed to rise significantly due to Ramadan lethargy. In most cases, resin producers scaled back their initial hike targets or offered stable prices with slight discounts on a monthly basis. A few players have already stated that they do not expect any price increases in April due to current market dynamics and added that prices may even see slight downward corrections if cost support fades...

About ChemOrbis Polypropylene (PP) prices and Plastics News

Polypropylene (PP) is a product group produced by the conversion of propylene monomer through a process of polymerization. Polypropylene (PP) is the world's second largest polymer in terms of consumption. There are two main types of PP: Homo-PP and PP Copolymer.

Homo-PP (PPH) is further divided into various grades, such as raffia, injection, fiber, film, BOPP and non-woven. Homo-PP is used in various applications, such as sacks, gift wraps, carpet yarns, kitchenware, automotive parts, food packaging, sanitary pads, diapers and wet wipes. PP Copolymer, which is made more durable by the addition of ethylene monomer during the conversion process, is used in household appliances, automotive and electrical parts and pipe applications.

Looking at the most important net buyer and supplier countries in the polypropylene (PP) market, China stands at the top of the list of importing countries. As of 2020, China alone realizes 25% of the world’s total PP imports. China is followed by Türkiye, which imports 10% of the world’s total PP production, while Italy occupies the third place in rankings. South Korea, Malaysia and Germany comprise the top three main PP suppliers.

ChemOrbis Polypropylene (PP) prices and Plastics News section contain information on the market trends, as well as supply-demand factors and production costs that determine the pricing, statistics on imports and exports, along with maintenance shutdowns, restarts, and new capacities related to PP facilities.
