PET Pricing Intelligence: Packaging Demand and Supply Trends

Plastics pricing intelligence recorded diverse but generally stable conditions during August 2026, with selective strength across thermoplastics. Polyolefins including HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, and PP recovered after early weakness as tighter Asian petrochemical availability and higher crude, naphtha, and ethylene costs increased replacement costs. ABS strengthened more clearly on higher styrene costs, while PS saw a moderate late-month recovery. PVC improved temporarily mid-month but remained constrained by comfortable supply and uneven construction demand.
