The domestic PP and PE market in Indonesia has been continuously hiking since the beginning of December 2019, with both HDPE and LLDPE film recorded between 16.1% to 16.7% increase in value while homo-PP yarn jumped 11.6%, according to CommoPlast data.
The sharp upswing has players wondered if the market has reached the cyclical peak at the moment.
“Supply remains tight at the moment and we think the market might be nearing the peak, however, suppliers are in no rush to cut offers. Until cargoes from new plants are coming in, we expect the market the persist on the stable to firmer track,” a market source said.
