Prices of the five commodity resins were heading into 2024 at a lower point, but typical moves to reverse the overall downward trend of the fourth quarter were underway. This was particularly the case for PE and PVC, with suppliers issuing early first quarter price hikes. Such attempts are facing slowed domestic and global demand, higher supplier inventories and generally lower prices of key feedstocks. PET resin prices might differ just a bit if key raw materials move up.

Greenberg characterized spot PE prices as selling at deep discounts through December, and reported that transactional prices were well below levels reflecting the 9¢/lb increases reported by the major indices in 2023. Quoting November supply/demand results from the ACC (American Chemical Council), he reported, “PE production was almost identical to October, as reactors again ran just shy of 85% capacity and PE exports were above 2 billion pounds for the seventh straight month and comprised nearly 47% of total PE sales.”

First quarter was ending up with upward pricing, primarily due to higher feedstock costs and not supply/demand fundamentals.

PVC resin prices dropped by another 1¢/lb in December, following a similar drop the previous month, but suppliers were out with January price increases ranging from 2¢/lb to 5¢/lb, according to Paul Pavlov, RTi’s v.p. of PP and PVC and PCW’s senior editor Donna Todd. The former ventured that prices in the January-February time frame were likely to remain flat, noting, “These price initiatives are a knee-jerk reaction and aimed at stemming the bleeding.” He saw potential for some uptick in March.

Citing ACC results going into December, Greenberg reported that PP suppliers ran their reactor a bit higher in November, at about 80%. He noted that exports were a bit stronger, but representing only 6.6% of sales. “Domestic processors were turned off by the steep cost-push price increase last month (November) and slowed their purchases to only 96.5% of the trailing 12-month average,” Greenberg added. “Total production outstripped the weak sales and consequently, upstream inventories built for the second straight month back to levels not seen since April.”

Core Technology Molding turned to Mold-Masters E-Multi auxiliary injection unit to help it win a job and dramatically change its process.

Despite price increase nominations going into second quarter, it appeared there was potential for generally flat pricing with the exception of a major downward correction for PP.

In conclusion, the Asia Pacific region’s robust manufacturing ecosystem, cost advantages, growing consumer demand, and supportive policies collectively underpin its significant contribution to driving the injection moulding market forward.

Ultradent's entry of its Umbrella cheek retractor took home the awards for Technical Sophistication and Achievement in Economics and Efficiency at PTXPO.

PET prices in December dropped 1¢/lb, following drops of 2¢/lb and 4¢/lb the two previous months driven primarily by lower raw material formulation costs as well as seasonal slowed demand for PET in the Northern Hemisphere, according to Mark Kallman, RTi’s v.p. of PVC, PET and engineering resins. He anticipated a bit of a rebound in PET prices of 1¢/lb to 2¢/lb in the January-February time frame as a result of forecasted increases in key raw materials. Kallman continued to characterize the market going into first quarter as domestically well supplied along with continued attractively priced imports.

While price initiatives for PE and PVC were underway, resin prices had rollover potential for first two months of 2024, perhaps with the exception of PET.

Across the show, sustainability ruled in new materials technology, from polyolefins and engineering resins to biobased materials.

PCW’s Barry, somewhat in contrast, ventured further price correction of PP and the monomer through January and February, noting that spot monomer prices were well below contract prices and that domestic PP resin tabs were still too high compared to global prices. Characterizing 2024 as a year of “market share battles,” he reports that with no anticipated near-term uptick in demand, some traders were positioning for PP prices to move lower in first quarter.

Polyethylene prices in December appear to have dropped by 3¢/lb while suppliers cancelled their 3¢/lb increases and issued new 5¢/lb increases for January, according to David Barry, PCW’s associate director for PE, PP and PS, The Plastics Exchange Greenberg, and resin pricing expert Robin Chesshier. They view this latest move by suppliers as intended to stop any further price erosion.

“According to the latest research study, the demand of global Injection Molding Market size & share was valued at approximately USD 278.3 Billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 285.5 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach a value of around USD 431.6 Billion by 2033, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 5.1% during the forecast period 2024 to 2033.”

Across all process types, sustainability was a big theme at NPE2024. But there was plenty to see in automation and artificial intelligence as well.

Polypropylene prices in December were flat, in step with propylene monomer; this despite that the anticipated recovery of monomer tightness had yet to occur due to two unplanned shutdowns, according to PCW’s Barry, Spartan Polymers’ Newell and The Plastic Exchange’s Greenberg. Said Newell, “As long as monomer inventories remain tight, there’s some volatility.” He notes that domestic PP demand ended badly in 2023, and he expected suppliers would likely have to further cut production rates from the low 80s percentile to the mid-70s for an improved supply-demand scenario.

Chesshier ventures that PE prices in January-February could either be flat but with potential for an increase, particularly if the exports market strengthens. Similarly, Barry saw potential for an increase, as he expected exports to pick up, but was not quite certain of domestic demand. He noted that processors had stocked up due to lower pricing at the end of 2023. These sources also point to the impact of new capacity, particularly from major new player Shell as well as NOVA Chemicals and Baystar, leading Barry to say, “2024 will see a “market share battle.”

Polystyrene prices dropped another 3¢/lb in December, following a 4¢/lb drop the previous month, but flat prices for the January-February time frame were ventured by both PCW’s Barry and resin pricing expert Robin Chesshier. This scenario is primarily attributed to improved benzene supply due to plenty of Asian and European imports underway. Barry did add that while there was a likelihood of January benzene contracts dropping 10-20¢/gal, it would translate to only 1-2¢/lb for PS resins.

Reported Todd in December, “With January increases of 2¢/lb, 3¢/lb and 5¢/lb, customers were wondering how the price would be implemented and at what level.” She also noted that Westlake, with the lower price hike, announced that it would issue another price increase for February. “As such, it appeared that the January price uptick will be limited to 2¢/lb, with a further increase of undetermined size in the cards for February. Some PVC converters think the January price hike would be pushed back and implemented in February.”

Some industry insiders anticipate the first quarter may well see commodity resin prices relatively flat and perhaps a bit down. Certainly in the case of PE and PP, some of these pros see 2024, at least for the first half, as being a buyer’s market or as one put it — “anticipate market share battles.”
