Resin Prices

Market sources told that regional prices for nylon, polycarbonate and ABS resins all declined in the first quarter of 2023.

North American polypropylene resin prices saw a hefty increase in February, reflecting a jump in feedstock costs.

PVC and polystyrene resin prices have already settled for February, with increases for both materials. Feedstock prices and seasonal construction activity were factors, Frank Esposito explains. While the economy may be slowing, North American buyers may be restocking; there’s more on that in the video.

Tightening supply and demand figures, along with rising feedstock costs, push most commodity resin prices higher.
