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). Built on deep industry experience and robust supply-demand analysis, the report offers a price expectation range and directional view—not post-settlement confirmation.

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.
