Polish processors are benefiting from the relative stability of the market and are stocking up on raw materials ahead of the expected price increase in March.
High prices and low supply persist in the polyolefin market. Some players stocked up at the beginning of the month, observing a steady rise in prices and material shortages, while others are holding back in the hope of a change in trend.
According to market players, converters are making cautious purchases this month. Most large manufacturers of finished products bought more material in January ahead of the anticipated price increase.
Due to low demand and the ability of some converters to wait out February without making purchases, almost all polyolefin producers have reduced the amount of raw materials available for sale.
In the first week of February, demand and prices for polyolefins are increasing, while stocks of materials are proving insufficient.
Polish market players have reported better demand for both PE and PP from converters. Among other factors, this is why we are seeing another round of polyolefin price increases in Poland.
