Polymer Price Expectation Service

– Independent, Forward-Looking Insight on Monthly Polymer Price Expectations

C-MACC’s new monthly service provides directional guidance on expected contract reference prices for key U.S. polymer chains: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

This service was developed in response to growing industry demand for greater transparency, competition, and credibility in price discovery. It combines fundamentals, trade flows, cost structures, and market sentiment to deliver a high-value alternative to traditional pricing services. Each report also includes variance analysis, comparing prior expectations to final settlements.
