Show Notes
In this week’s episode of Resin Market Moves, we break down the latest fundamentals across North American resin markets.. Even with meaningful October inventory drawdowns, most resin families continue to face weak demand, long supply, and minimal cost-push pressure.
This episode covers:
- PE: –410.5M lbs inventory decline but still weak overall sentiment
- PP: –126.9M lbs inventory drop; PGP in mid-20s; Q1 tightening expected
- PS: Lower feedstocks keep pressure on pricing
- PVC: Slip in inventory doesn’t change soft demand outlook
- ABS & PC: Stable-to-lower as feedstocks fail to support price initiatives
- PA6 & PA66: Downstream demand remains slow; RMC easing
- PET: Seasonal slowdown, flat feedstocks, no Q4 increases
Whether you’re a procurement leader, resin buyer, or supply-chain decision maker, this episode gives you the visibility you need to plan for Q4 and early 2026.
