Resin Market Moves – 9/29/25 - Buyer Leverage vs. Supplier Hike Nominations
Suppliers are nominating increases across PE, PP, PVC, PET, and more — but the data says otherwise.
In this week’s Resin Market Moves (Sept 26, 2025), Michael Workman of ResinSmart breaks down the latest market drivers:
Key Insights:
- PE: Inventories +1.2B lbs YoY; +5¢/+3–5¢ nominations lack support
- PP: Flat as PGP rolled at 35.5¢; 40 days of supply on hand
- PS: Lower after September benzene contract
- ABS & PC: Flat; long supply and weaker RMC
- PVC: Inventories at 1B lbs; one producer still chasing +3¢
- Nylon & PET: Flat; PET producers push +6–9¢ in October despite lower PX/PTA
Takeaway: Fundamentals remain weak-to-flat. Buyers should benchmark every ask, reject unsupported hikes, and use data to negotiate better terms.
Resin Market Moves breaks down the latest shifts in PE, PP, and engineered resin markets—covering price movement, supply/demand trends, inventory levels, and what it all means for your next buy. Get fast, actionable insights to help you negotiate smarter and stay ahead of volatility.
