Скачать или смотреть Resin Market Moves | Christmas Edition – 2026 Resin Price Outlook for Buyers

Welcome to the Christmas Edition of Resin Market Moves, powered by ResinSmart.

As we head into 2026, North American resin markets remain buyer-friendly, but suppliers are beginning to position for margin recovery. In this episode, Michael Workman breaks down what’s happening across PE, PP, PVC, PS, PET, and engineering resins — and what resin buyers should be doing now to protect leverage next year.

This Episode Covers:
Polyethylene (PE)
• Producers pushing 5–7¢ increases for December/January
• Demand still weak despite higher operating rates
• Spot availability remains strong
Polypropylene (PP)
• Prices down sharply from earlier in 2025
• Market near the bottom of the cycle
• PDH reliability and winter weather are the key Q1 2026 risks
PVC
• Structurally weak market
• Housing and construction demand still soft
• Expect concessions and spot discounts
Polystyrene (PS)
• Benzene-driven noise
• Weak demand limits pricing momentum
Engineering Resins (ABS, PC, Nylon 6/66)
• Oversupply across the board
• Selective volatility expected — not a broad upcycle
PET
• Balanced-to-soft fundamentals
• Buyer leverage remains despite tariff headlines

Key Buyer Takeaway for 2026
The biggest risk for resin buyers next year isn’t short-term price movement — it’s non-market margin creep as leverage shifts.
Winning in 2026 means benchmarking pricing, planning deliberately, and negotiating with data instead of narratives.
