The Plastic Resin Buyer Brief

This week’s Resin Market Moves breaks down how supply-side events and feedstock pressure are shaping resin pricing early in 2026.

We cover:
  • PE force majeure and rising January nominations
  • PP feedstock-driven pricing pressure
  • PVC capacity closures and pricing risk
  • PS increases tied to benzene
  • What rising RMC means for engineering resins
This is not a uniform upcycle—it’s a selective, volatility-driven market. Buyers who focus on inventories, operating rates, and feedstocks will retain leverage.
